BRISCOE DEFENDS
MISSION OF AUTO

President Benjamin Briscoe, of the
United Motors Company, does not in
tend to allow prominent men to issue
statements injurious to the automo-
bile industry without taking issue
with them. The last prominent official
to attack the industry was Chancellor
J. r. Day of Syracuse University, who
stated that the automobile was a
menace to the American home" and
that young business men are getting
so infatuated with the motor car that
they are losing their positions" Pres.
ident Briscoe has written the following
letter to Chancellor Day:
My attention has been called to YOUR
recent utterances relative to the auto
mobile being a menace to the American
home, that the capital involved in the
industry is wasted money and that it
adds comparatively nothing to the
wealth of the country. Knowing you
by reputation, 1 feel that you would
} prefer to have your statements backed
Sup by exact fact, and that il it could
be proved to you that the automobile
has accomplished much in the way of
economic usefulness, you would be
ready to acknowledge it, / would ask
your consideration of the following:
"The automobile has brought the
country nearer the city; it has raised
land valuation in nearly all sections
of the country: it has cured sick PEG.
pie when medicine did them no good I;
it has made the strong stronger. The
automobile is wiping away border
lines,and through the automobile there
will be no South, no North, no West,
and no East. 1t is bringing into closer
contact the ruralites and the city folk.
1t has been the cause of making the
hotel proprietors and merchants in
the country towns more prosperous,
has given employment to thousands
of men and women and pays wages
much higher than the majority of Ia
dustries.
THE motor car is a boon to mer-
chants and business men who deliver
goods. 1t is cheaper than horses, and
thousands of dollars are saved each
day by merchants who have adopted
delivery wagons and trucks in connec-
ton with their business and who have
relegated their horses to the pasture.
"The only real economic waste which
is part of the use of the automobile are
the paint, varnish and refinement in
finish-in fact, anything not incidental
to the real efficiency of the machine,
and which does not aid in the saving
of time and the shortening of space"

THE AUTOMOBILE

Legally there is a speed limit OF

no restrictions upon speed except
those that the automobilist places up
on himself. The average driver has

Nothing is quite so disconcerting to

If there be any habit of the motorist
that tends to keep alive the prejudice

cause of the delay in ordering. the

AsToUNDEO THAT HE KEEPS HIS
WORD.

"A thing that astounded Mr.. Roose-
velt's American friends" says an exul-
tant admirer Of the Colonel, was the
fidelity with which he adhered to his
statement that from the time he left
America until his return he would re-
frain from all public discussion Of
American politics" Mr. Roosevelt is
more unfortunate than any man We
know Of in having friends who are
surprised when he keeps his word
There were scores of them
who insisted that in spite
of his definite statement that
he would not be candidate for
the presidency i'm 1918 that he woul
be just the same, and who gave every
evidence Of establishment at the dis
cOvery that he considered the promise
binding. Now here are some or these
same friends to confess that they are
all astounded that he didn't break his
pledge not to talk about American
politics while he was absent from
home. Do they suppose that he is
man to make promises lightly, with
no sense of responsibility whether
they are kept or not? If so they have
no right to assume that they are his
friends. Friendship at least credits
the object of friendship with honesty.
