which Cannot be overestimated. Rural
communities not reached by either trolley
or steam cars are now in touch with the
busy centers by means Of the tourist COM

tremely profitable to the owner of rapid

w. s Rdshmore Of Jersey City has sue

like many other great discoveries, It is a
sort of accidental achievement. He blew
up the muffler OF his Winton, cut out that

IT, and just hen he was coupling on an

exactly fitted the pipe.
Nothing could have been more fortunate.
But for this exactitude the now Industrious

oblivion. IL seemed as though fate had

FOR the whistle, though so lnscrutable are
some Of its DEGREES that It may nave made
each for the other, At any rate, when the
c~ontrivanee was, so to speak, turned on,
IL worked like a charm.
IL appears that the whistle was set for
100 pounds and that the initial strenuosity
OF the exhaust in abe pipe leading 10 the
mutler exceeded that pressure. Further, IL
seems that Mr.. Rushmore had heard the
foghorn and other devices assert them

The many cases Of commercial motor cars
as TO utility and dependabHity during the
last month cannot help but attract the
attention OF the commercial world to the
progress made in this branch of %transpor-
tation. A reflection on the advantages to
be gained from a general adoption OF
these vehicles for the kinds OF business
show them to be well defined.
Foremost is the element OF economy
economy Of space occupied in the streets,
garage and around freight sheds. Two
motor cars viii not occupy any more spare
than one horse-drawn vehicle, an imports
ant especially In Chicago, where
traffic conditions are usually congested.
The commercial car takes up much less
B stable space. The best evidence OF this
truth lies IN the fact that neither stalls
nor hay lofts are required in housing the
machine. Economy of time is perhaps. the
greatest benefit, from the motor car to
tho progressive business. house, for .
quick delivery means a happy customer
and continued patronage.

POLL TAX DELINOUENTS
Judge Campbell Says They have no More
Right to Vote in Primaries Than
in General Elections.

Judge ]. "A. T. Campbell has
addressed the Clarion Ledger the
following timely communication.
which will be read with much in
terest:
Editor Clarion Ledger:
The article appearing in the
Clarion-Ledger Of April S0th
copied from the Brookhaven Leader
is on subject of very great inn
portance and therefore worthy of
the attention Of all who feel an i'm
terest in Mississippi.
None but qualified electors should
be allowed to vote at primary or
other elections. The constitution
of the State declares who shall be
entitled to vote, and among the
prescribed qualifications is pay
ment. on or before the first of
February of the year in which he
shall offer to vote, of all taxes
which may have been legally re-
quired of him and which he has
had an opportunity of paying ac-
cording to law, for the two preced-
ing years. (not merely poll taxes
but all taxes) and who shall pro-
duce to the officers holding the
election satisfactory evidence that
he has paid said taxes. =
Primry elections have become
the real elections in this State.
Only those qualified to vote at the
final elections (those prescribed by
the constitution are entitled to
vote in the primary elections. 1t
is sad commentary on the capaci-
ty and fidelity of those officially
connected with elections. if it is
true that those delinquent for any
taxes are permitted to vote.
All who vote, not being qualified,
incur a penalty of 5000 or imprls-
onment for six months or both.
The constitution requires the voter
to produce to the officers holding
the election satisfactory evidence
that he has paid 'the taxes requir-
ed by him. " In practice this re-
quirement is rarely. if ever. COM
piled with, and it occurs to me
that the great evil of allowing nom
qualified men to vote has arisen
from the practice Of receiving the
ballots of all whose names are
found on the poll books.
Managers of elections accept the
poll books as evidence of the right
to vote. This shows the great inn
portance of an intelligent and
faithful performance Of duty by
commissioners of electors. 1t is
their duty to revise the registra-
tion books at times prescribed and
to erase the names of all who have
died, removed or become disquali-
fed as electors from any cause. In
order to perform this duty they
should compare the lists of delin-
quents for poll tax and all other
sources Of information in the
sheriff's $ Office, advertisements of
land to be sold for taxes and every
available source Of information as
to non-payment Of taxes before the
lst OF February. and every name Of
persons who have not paid poll tax
and poperty tax as required should
be erased as required by law and
the poll books thus purged would
not misIead the managers Of elec-
tions.
To permit one not qualified to
vote is great wrong, and every
safeguard prescribed to prevent
this should be employed. It is an
outrage on decencv as we'll as the

prohibitions will not have the effect
Of reducing the quantity OF pulpwood

the present needs of the American
markets, one million cords Uf pulp
wood per annum, could be obtained
from private forests. But according
TO the committee the suppressed data
from official sources showed that only
