1910 dL|DDth TOUR

The intermediate distances and the
itinerary OF the 1910 Glidden tour, so
far as the night stops are concerned,
together with the approximate mile
ages. will be practically as follows:
First day, Cincinnati to Louisville,
1872 miles: second day, Louisville to
Nashville. 1913 miles. third day. Nash
willie to Sheffield. l19 miles; fourth day,
Sheffield to Memphis, 1911 miles: NTH
day, Sunday in Memphis; sixth day,
Memphis TO Little Rock. 207.7 miles.
seventh day, Little Rock to Texarkana,
1916 miles, eighth day. Texarkana to
Dallas 2i7.1 miles; ninth day. Dallas
TO Lawton. Okla. 200 miles; tenth day,
Lawton to Oklahoma City, Okla, 145
miles: eleventh day, Oklahoma City to
wichita, z15 miles; twelfth day. Sum
day I'm Wichita; thirteenth day, Wichita
to Kansas City 234 miles; fourteenth
day. Kansas City TO Omaha, 242 miles;
fifteenth day. Omaha TO Des Moines,
Iowa $50 miles: sixteenth day Des
Moines TO Davenport. Ia, 100 miles;
seventeenth day Davenport to Chicago,
200 miles.
One OF the early results OF the path
finding trip has been the organization
OF fully a dozen automobiles clubs in
sections where there had hitherto been
very little interest in the afhliation OF
motoring interests. In cities where
motorists were on the verge OF form
ing clubs. they seized this opportunity
TO get together, and before the big tour
starts the American Automobile asso-
citation will probably be augmented by
several thousand new members.

But is it not equal ly arue UD that no special ability is required for work of this kind-that anybody can go to Washington and get these things for the asking; and tsp that the glory of getting these things. together with the pay of a farm hand. ought to be sufficient remuneration?
 As already stated. We have long been at a loss to account for tho easy going cxtravagancC of tho asso- citation in paying its counsel IL is notorious that this lawyer had the presumption to attend to a general practice in addition tu his duties as counsel of the association-notwith- standing the princely salary of s2.00O year. IL is equally notorious that the performance of his duties seemed to inflict no mental fatigue upon him it was so easy fur him to meet all vice and opinions required. that hc ought tp have been ashamed to take the money.
 And t must not be overlooked that while carrying out this admirable principle of socialism-of placing the same valuation on all w"rk-snd while making the stupenduus saving "f forty cents to each land owner. an excellent opportunity to rcbukc the associations counsel has been em-
 braced He has had the temerity to object to all talk of rcpudiating the associations contracts with the gov ernment he has insisted that how e,cr eNpedicnt it may prove hereafter to seek a modification ot tho terms of payment and so on. it Was the height of folly to project such 1ues- tions now And back of all that, il
 IS not forgotten that the owners of the old lands-the prior fighters were reluctant to join the ass"cia- ton and only did so when he prom ised them. to do his utmost tn sec that their rights were protected and
 preserved He acted on the foolish notion that il was his duty to keep | this promise It is not practicable to punish him. but il has been possible
 to demonstrate that such principles 1, are not popular
 The wave of reform has been slow
