Although the automobile industry Is
consid cred now to be on a permanent and
profitable basis, manufacturers who have
been connected with 1t for years are
strongly of the opinion that conservation
with regard to production for next year
is to be desired. Many strongly depre-
cate increases In output over the current
year. They believe. however, that the
demand will be sufficient to absorb as
many cars In 1911 as were sold this year.
To the assertion that there has been
an overproduction of 1910 cars, B. F.
Stearns of the big Cleveland company
bearing his name, answers that IL such
were the case the foreign markets would
have been cultivated more assiduously
than has been the case. In American In
dustries, which has obtained opinions
from many prominent manufacturers, Mr..
Stearns says:
Had there been any real overproduc-
tion, automobile manufacturers would
have turned to the foreign market long
before this As 1t Is, however, the stand
ard automobile makers are approaching
the import business in the same quiet,
conservative way that they have con-

duction, which drew thousands of spec
tators from the neighboring Baden-Ba-
den, is the village pastor who. accord
ing to the German papers, has proved
himself a stage manager of exceptional
ability, and discerning man of business
as we'll. He might have selected some
mystery and morality, and exposed him
self and his village players to inevitable
comparisons and charges of deliberate
imitation. Instead he has chosen Schil-
lers wilhelm Tell" inspired. perhaps,
by the Harvard open air production OF
the Maid of Orleans" but more likely
guided by local considerations; for Schil-
ler's early career made him an adopted
son of the grand duchy. its favorite poet;
Switzerland Is near, and the landscape,
framed by the Black Forest heights. lends
itself sufficiently we'll to scenic illusion.
Pastor Saler selected the players from
his flock, taught the principals their
lines and drilled the $50 supernumeraries
engaged in the production, all natives OF
the village. He enlisted the services or
a musician in the training of the cho-
ruses, saw to the costumes, and, I'm short,
he undertook. single-handed, task or
dinarily possible of realization only in the
best equipped theatres of Germany, and
achieved a triumph as stage manager
and producer. Aside from all this his
browning achievement appears to be the
understanding of the beauty and tho
meaning of the poets lines shown by the
players.
Thus far the undertaking has, natural
" enough, attracted only a strictly Ger
man patronage, but 1t apparently suf-
fees. It's future will be worth watch
ing especially for the influence 1t may
have in its turn, on the spread of peas

time comes the old world will have awak-

Lozier of the Lozier company. THE nat
ural increase in demand will be we'll

no increased or inflated production the
demand will equal the supply.
Supply and demand. of course, applies

solution--chaos; but the lesson of the

this is one of the lessons a boy should

mendous, and conservative bankers rec

been made upon the industry. but this
criticism has been invoked mainly to my
mind, by the skyrocket policy of the linn

knowledge of supply and demand with

GERMAN PEASANTS GIVE PLAY
Village Pastor Brings About Successful
Performance of civilian Tell"

From the New York Tribune.
The constantly growing success of the
decennial performances of the Passion
Play at Oberammergau-a success which
was so great last summer that 1t has
led to the expression of many fears that
commercialism may gradually rob the
old, devotional ceremony of Its simple,
sincere mpressiveness-has had one re-
suit. which might have come sooner; an
attempt, namely, to establish a similar
open air peasant theatre elsewhere In
Germany. The result appears to have
justified the venture made last month at
Oetigheim, village in the Rhine valley
of the Grand Duchy Of Baden, at the
foot of the Black Forest.

The earth as 1t journeys around the sun
is accompanied always by a great conf
cal shadow extending into space to dis
lance Of $4,000 miles. The base of this
shadow envelops the earth and its apex
is always exactly opposite the sun. The
moon is but 10000 miles away from the
earth. SO that when In its eastward mo-

rakino a Practical View.

There is something at once practical and pathetic in the statement that comes from Vancouver made by a woman on Clark county ranch Her husband. becoming tired of his part in the compact which included work on the ranch in conjunction with an in- dustrious wife for the maintenance of themselves and three children, left home several days ago and has not since been heard from. After putting in a field of oats, milking four cows morning and night and taking care of the children the chickens and the garden, the energetic woman went to Vancouver and sought the aid of the county attorney in compelling her hus- band to return and take up his part of their mutual burden. According to the recital she does not want to prosecute the delinquent husband and father; she only wants him to come back and help her provide for and take care of the children.
 Here is a sensible and practical as well as an energetic woman. With all of her energy she realizes her limit ations. She also realizes that children are a joint responsibility from which neither party to the compact of bring ing them up has a right to be absolved and from which neither can, in justice to the other or to their children. be absolved- If she has contempt for the paternai shirk to whom she is married she does not express 1t.

china's Advancement.

While China is shaken with premoni- tory symptoms of rebellion, it is en- couraging to note that the imperial government at Picking is taking meas ures to confer broader privileges upon the people in the immediate future. Recent edicts provide for the execution of the previous pledge to grant a con- stitution and also for the establish ment of a parliament the convening of which is fixed for October. The ab- olition of certain forms of domestic slavery is also guaranteed. If selfish considerations were to prevail the oc- cidental powers should view these de- velopments with alarm, since an en- frightened China, equipped with the means of national advancement in many fields will be a formidable factor in the making of world history. Even now there is a Chinese army in train ing on the most approved modern system. If, as is deemed possible, mili- tary service be made general in China, as it is in most European countries one may be readily conceive what with a population of 400. 900. 900 to draw upon, may be accomplished in the upbuflding of a military establish ment.

BLOCK ISLAND POLITICS.

To the Connecticut excursio ionists who make Block Island their destina- ton in the summer time, the island does not look populous enough to ex- cite any political hubbub inshore; but New Shoreham has had stubborn and powerful politicians and has played a prominent part in Rhode Island poli- tics. There is trouble about the inland fisheries commission, and this is what the Providence Journal has to say about it:
 For the first time. apparently, in the long and praiseworthy record of the inland fisheries commission, poli- tics has now interfered with it's con- cerns; Block Island politics. politics of kind that before now has proved offensive and costly to the people of Rhode Island. To an intelligent pub lie judgment there can be no blinking the impudence of this raid of Block Island politicians into the trusteeship of the inland fisheries commission The circumstances of their enterprise fair ly betray the sinister intent. It rep resents a grab for public funds and everybody concerned ir promoting it must have known that 1t meant that. It appears that at the last hour of the legislative session-notoriously an occasion for huckstering buccaneering,
  for the employment of the steam roller the regular appropriation in favor of the commission was held up in the senate and its passage made subject to the passage of the lobster bounty measure. The ma jority leader is quoted as having explained that there was a strong feeling that the work of the commission had not justified it's ex- pense.' Who harboredi that feeling mt soon as the Block Island graft bill was safe.'
 This is pretty plain talk; and it in- dicates that Block Island is "up to snuff in political chicanery, if not in other things.
 Governor Pothier signed the bill and is now charged with having as little backbone as a jellyfish, and he is calm ly told that in the premises he can say nothing that is calculated to make favorable impression on public opin- ion.
