comfortable new ones which are being

II may be we'll to leave the auto a safe

ing would, to say the least, not be
good politics.
The automobile, with its swift
means of locomotion, is terror to the
other fellow who is running just
ahead of you in the waning campaign,
telling the voters what a tough propo-
sitioh you are. Denials seldom over
take canards, but they can make great
speed in autos and thus by getting in
right on the heels of the fellow who
has denounced you, gives the advan-
tage of mailing his attack while it is
hot, and of bringing the campaign to
the finest point of interest at the very
finish. And not only for speeding
candidates from place 20 place, but for
hauling voters from poll to poll, the
auto must be given q new place as a
campaigner, destined to become the
most popular machine politics has yet
seen.

Interurban Transportation.

French capital is said to have been
enlisted in the enterprise OF building
electric railways between st. Louis
and Kansas City and the report is re-
ceived with much qualification in
those cities.
There was a time when the interur-
ban electric line seemed to be most de-
sirable under any circumstances as the
best means of affording cheap and
quick transportation, consequently
bringing the rural districts into closer
proximity with the cities and thus
building up great retail centers, with
all the incidental advantages. But to-
day some question surrounds the
proposition. The amazing popularity
of the automobile and the correspond
| ing improvement in country roads,
cheaper and better railroad facilities
and the railroad motor car are ele-
ments which must be taken into con-
sideration now. If the good roads
movement is carried 20 it's possibili-
ties it, with the automobiles, may yet
solve the problem ahead of the cleo
trio railway. Good roads themselves
have done vast amount in that di-
rection already.
OF course there is no denying the
fact that we need. especially in the
west, better interurban facilities and
some electric railways have done i'm
mense good In meeting the demands,
but neither can 1t be denied that capt
tai is little slower to go into this
sort of investment today than 1t was
few years ago. That seems to be
clearly evident in the fact that the
Missouri promoters had to go clear to
France for their money.
