FORD LOWERS RECORD.
Seattle Manager Reduces Time Be-
tween That City and Portland.

According to information recently
received by the Ford Motor company
from their Seattle branch manager, X.
P. Rice. Ford test car recently
broke all records In the cross country
run from Seattle to Portland Ore. The
car, which was stock model T with
testing body, was driven by Mr.. Rice
himself accompanied by Harry DisheT
as mechanic. The distance from Seat
tie to Portland by road, Is approx
mately 200 miles and was covered by
the Ford Canonball' in II hours and
so minutes, which is by far the best
time ever made for this trip.
When the car arrived in Portland
and Rice told Of the time which was
made on the trip, many local as well
as Seattle enthusiasts were inclined
to dispute his word or at least to say
that he must have overlooked an hour
or two. Mr.. Rice insisted that he
had made the distance In the time an
nounced, and finally when his friends
became too skeptical, he said he
would go over the same route and
guarantee to lower the previous time
That he was able 10 back up his
statement was amply illustrated by
his return race, In which he chopped

MAYOR vEToEs PURCHASE
OF SITE FOR NEW SCHOOL

Says Interested Citizens Protest
Against Selection Of Property At
Central and Ferndale-aves.
Mayor Breitmeyer, Saturday morn
ing, returned to the common council
without his approval of resolution
passed June %, for the purchase of a
school site at the north east corner
OF Central and Ferndale-aves. The
mayor gives this explanation:
Residents of the district affected
have asked for a further hearing on
the location of this school site, max.
ing the point that the site selected
is not central in character and Is sur.
rounded by property which will in the
near future be built up with factories
or used for railroad sidings, making
the site an undesirable one for school
purposes"

NEW ADVERTISING RECORD.
The McManus-kcIley Company SET
High Mark for Agencies.

During the week just closed, The Nc
Manus-Kelley Company of Detroit, has
made a record which II believed TO out
strip any hitherto attained by an ad-
vartisfng agency In the closing OF new
business.
Fro mMonday to Saturday, the De-
troit agency has closed contracts for
handling the publicity OF seventeen
new advertisers. The aggregate ap-
propriations OF these new advertisers
total $4,000.
The feature which confers distinc-
ton upon this single weeks work, IL
not the sum involved, but rather the
fact that seventeen accounts are repre-
sented The Significance OF this be-
comes apparent when IL In considered
that each account will receive direct
intimate aud personal service.

Custom Houses, where the value.
quality, ETC., are determined upon
and the tax assessed.
Now, suppose a foreigner has suits
of clothes which in his country sell
for SIS per suit. Suppose that he
imports a cargo of this clothing to
New York. If it is wooden goods, he
will have to pay, at the very lowest
calculation, 100 per cent. tariff duty.
This, of course, is equal to SIS. Now,
you will see at once he can't afford
to sell the goods in this country, UNI
til he adds the amount of the tax to
the European value. In other words,
his SIS suit of clothes will be sold for
not less than $50. Now, suppose, that
the American manufacturer has wool
en- gods of exactly the same quality.
What's to keep him from selling at
500. 50-loWer than the foreigner can
afford to do? In other words, the
tariff tax enables the American man
ufacturer to add to his price at
least as much as the amount of tax
which the foreigner has to pay to get
his license to sell in this market.
What the foreigner pays, the govern
ment gets; what the manufacturer
adds to his price because of the IL
cense fee which the foreigner has to
pay, he pockets, and the government
doesn't get a cent of it. The lowest
estimate is, that the American manu-
facturers pocket S.. under the tariff

All you will have to do, if those

him for the facts as to whether or
not young negro men and young ne
gro women are not received into that
college on terms of social equality
with the whites AS to Mr.. Bryan's
son and daughter being students of
that college, their catalogues will
show the names. AS to there being
mixed schools and mixed marriages,
as we'll as social equality in public
places, all that you have to do is to
visit that State and visit the schools
and public places, inquiring of teach

it go to the Government, or does the

way to teach Jeffersonian principles
would be to formulate them into

clubs and meet, say once a month,
and have exercises showing the peo-
pie exactly how they are being rob-
bed in an indirect way If you will
formulate one showing how the ma
tiona1 banker is robbing the people
and how our constitutional money
system would put a stop to it, I will

CD Yes, I made the statement re-
ferred to, and was authorized by
facts to say that Mr.. Bryan had edu-
Gated his children in social equality
schools and colleges. In the State
Of Nebraska there is no law against
the intermarriage of blacks and
whites, and such marriages occur.
There is no separation Of the races
in hotels, theatres, etc. There is no
separation of the two races in the
lower schools, or in the University
Of Nebraska itself. Inasmuch as Mr..
Bryan has never raised his voice
against the Nebraska social equality
laws and schools, and inasmuch as
he himself Endorsed them by sending
his children to be educated in them,
(When he was amply able to send
them to white schools,) I was justi-
fed in landing that blow upon him,
above the belt. [ thought the South
ern people ought to know the facts,
IN order that they might realize what
danger there would be to the South's
future if the Democrats elected a
