AUTOMOBILE PROGRESS.

The Boston news bureau has OBJ
tanned estimates showing that 350. 1000
automobiles are now in use In the
United States as against 1000. 900
horse drawn vehicles
In automobile plants are invested
$500, 100000 presumably a good Of it
water, and in these works and acces-
sorry trades are employed 100000 per-
sons.
Automobile makers, it is estimated,
pay sso,o000oo annually for rubber
steel iron and aluminium, and to the
railroads s25.ooO,000 in freight
charges.
As the Springfield Register re-
marks these are tremendous figures
as applying to an industry not yet fiji
teen years old They pear upon the
question that is repeatedly raised
after a day heavy In motorcar fatal
ties whether or not the automobile
has justified itself economically in
the face of its long mortality record
Presumably we shall meet the ques-
tion less frequently when the balance
of interest between pleasure and bust
ness in the development of automo-
biles is modified; when the motor
car is less conspicuously the travel
luxury of the rich and the ruthless
Instrument of the speed-mad. To-
ward this change and toward ulti-
mate high standards Of safety and
utility there is daily progress based
on sound laws. business demands and
increasing sanity among drivers.

WOMEN ON LURES

The jury, made up of women, which
assembled at Hahn's Peak, Col, a few
days ago to pass upon the sanity of a
woman was the subject of discussion
in the office of New York lawyer,
who said that he had presided at a
trial nearly ten years ago when the
jury was all women. But it was a
sham trial for a sham crime before a
sham judge on a North Atlantic trip
in the winter season. when something
out of the ordinary had to be done
to enlive1 the small company" he
added Although it was all play, the
trial left an impression on my mind
as to woman's fitness for jury duty
The plaintiff in the case was wom-
an who charged her husband with

scented their sides, and the judge

Future Of Iowa RepubIicanism.

Burlington Hawk Eye: MIR. Cummins
says that Republican politics in Iowa
cannot endure permanently half
progressive and half standpat,'' and
that he does not expect to see the
party either defeated or dissolved,
but that 1t must speedily become all
progressive or all standpat" There
is such looseness and vagueness in
the use of the word progressive"
that 1t is not easy to understand
what the senator means in this in
stance. The Republican party has al
ways been a party of progress. as its
national platform and its legislative
and administrative records demon
strate. And it always has stood pat
on It's fundamental principles, through
the civil war, the reconstruction per-
iod, the currency initiation craze, the
free silver lunacy, the various tariff
struggles. the Philippine and expan-
sion policies, and all the other es-
sential measures that have been ap-
proved by the people. There is no
thought now Of retreat, and it mat
tiers little whether the present atti-
tude of congress and the President Is
called progressive or standpat; 1t is
what it is and what the general trend
shows it will be- The national poll
cies and the national administration
are being endorsed by the various
state conventions and Mr.. Taft has
the entire Republican party to back
him for the remaining half of his adj
ministration. And that logically
means his denomination in 1912.
In view of all the conditions now
presented, it matters little IL a few
wordy bouquets are tossed to the
Cummins and Beveridge class of Re-
publicans; the party itself is going
forward unswerved in its national
mission by these incidental side cur
rents, which, after all. are inevitably
part of the great political stream
whose course is not to be reversed
by the temporary eddies along the
shore and the sand bars in the chan
mel. Mr. Cummins' paraphrase of Sew
ard and Lincoln's expressions con-
corning union of states half slave
and half free has very little pertain
ing to present political conditions in
Iowa and is practically meaningless.

stepmother of Mint Julep.

Stepmother OF MINT Julep.
Romance and poetry have delighted
to weave garlands with which to cele-
brate and perpetuate the glory of the
blue grass in old Kentucky, famed for
its fine horses, beautiful women and
mint.
Kentucky has been designated Is
the home Of the mint julep, and its
colonies have become famous all yer
the world for the easy and graceful
way in which they drink whisky with
a little dash Of sugar and a sprig or
two of mint in order, chiefly to over
come the necessity for a large amount
of water in the beverage. The true
Kentuckian doesn't want his whisky
drowned.
It transpires, however, that the real
home of the mint and the mint julep
is right here in Missouri, whose crop
Of mint last year amounted to 1853
pounds, or enough to make 1,224,320
juleps. This amount includes the mar
keted product only, no account having
been taken Of the countless thousands
of juleps which were compounded dur
ing the year with a base of the undi-
luted m%oonshine whisky that never
paid a cent Of tax.-St. Louis Star.

And there is punishment to be en-

is On the street car or on the road.
How many ways there are to punish

FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE
Double During the Past
Two Years.

Sixteen state sanatoria, 20 county
hospitals and 81 municipal hospitals
for tuberculosis have been erected
and provided for since January l,
1909, says a recent bulletin of the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis.
Within the last two year the num-
Der Of state institutions for tubercu-
losis has doubled, and the number of
county and municipal institutions has
increased from about 80 to 80. The
expenditures of public money for the
treatment of tuberculosis also has
o than doubled. Not less than
$3,000,000 Of state money was appro-
priated for tuberculosis institutions
in 1909, when 43 legislatures met, and
owe 100000 in 1910, when only II
legislatures were in session. The ap-
preparations Of counties and cities for
tuberculosis hospitals and sanitoria
in the last two years will aggregate
fully $780, 900, bringing the total
of official appropriations for tubercu-
losis hospitals up to over S 6,0OO,O 900
in the past two years.
In spite, however, of this good show
ing, the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
states that not one-tenth of the pub
lie provision for tuberculosis that is
needed has been made. More than
250,000 tuberculosis patients are COLI
stantly without proper institutional
treatment.
