BUSINESS AND ELECTIONS
W Washington Post.

NaShlngton POSt.
The revival Of business has reached a
stage which no longer permits waiting
attitude Crowding doubt and uncer-
tainty aside by sheer pressure of offer
ings at primary points, the revival OF
prosperous times on the scale OF the
Mckinley boom of II years ago has
begun in good earnest. This event has
been predicted to follow upon the No
vember elections, but as Secretary Viii
sons constituents go more by the local
weather prophet than by the politician )
danger signals, the goosebone augury OF
an early winter gave the cue to the
farmer to deliver the goods betimes.
The farmer has more to sell than ever
before, consequently the hauling capa-
city of the railroads will be put to a new
test. Their earnings will be limited only
by their rolling stock equipment, and as
the backbone of the stock markets auto
matically stiffens there will be some
thing doing on the floor whether or no,
The farmer never gets panicky. Who
ever heard of him discharging his help
and curtailing production because the re
suit of the township election was in
doubt or because Congress was tinker
ing with the land laws? Should the
time ever come when he is seized of the
silly fears that operate to paralyze cen
tcrs of finance and commerce, then the
country will witness all kinds of panic
But there is no danger of his losing his
presence of mind.

The Republican party has many plans

show your sincere support of the ticket

believe you will be entirely satisfied with
the results accomplished if you do 80.
| can personally promise you without
hesitation my best efforts to secure the
improvement of the Shore Road which
would have been built ere this but for
the Democratic certiorari.
Both Mr. Bacharach and myself will
likewise make every proper effort III the
direction Of investigating and correcting,
if possible, the raise in fare which you
must not forget, i'll spite of all Demo-
cratic argument, was done through the
trolley merger before the present utilities
bill went into effect.
The Republican legislature Of last year
could not have prevented that with a
dozen rate making clauses.
Our interests, are your interests, and
living in the county as we have all done,
practically all our lives, we feeel that
every citizen must agree with us that
our only desire is to serve the people
sincerely and faithfully.
Very truly yours,

FUTURE OF MOTOR CARS
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
No other industry has grown SO rapidly
in the United States i'll the past ten
years as the motor-car industry. The
capital invested has increased from
$6,2O0,00O to $450,O00,000. The number OF
persons employed in making automobiles
and i'll accessory occupations has in
creased from 1000 to 27S0O0. Thus fal
motor-cars have been mainly made for
touring and pleasuring purposes. They
have been a luxury OF the well-to- dc
rather than convenience and advan-
tage for the mass. As capacity OF pro
duction increases and supply has meas
urably overtaken demand the motor car
makers are beginning to turn their at
tention to wider development OF their
business.
The great field for motors in the
future will be as carriers of freight
There is vast waste in all forms of init
ial transportation, which may be largely
saved by motor trucking. Motors will
be made to run between the farms and
the rails, carrying twice the load at
twice the speed of wagons pulled by
horses Motors will bridge and shorten
and facilitate all present distance be-
tween the shop and the customer. They
will make rural free delivery of mails

INCREASE IN AUTO REVENUE

During the twelve months preceding
October l last the receipts Of the State
Department of Motor Vehicles amounted
to 1923 3,SS035. This is an increase of
$7S,6S3.S0 over the corresponding period
ending September 30, 1909. The total
cost OF maintaining the department for
the past twelve months was approx
mately $4,000, leaving the net profit to
the State, $2S3,sS0.
From December, 1909, to October, 1910.
27,374 registrations have been issued as
follows: First class, 1888; second class,
ll,S70; third class, l., l66. There have
been 3,l76 licenses to motor cyclists;
1912 tourists licenses; 653 dealers and

issued was 34,07S, of which HIS were

in THE 100000 CLASS

Minneapolis has had the padding of
her population count taken out by Sup
erintendent of Census Durand, but still
will 90 down in the listing with an ac
credited population of 30l ,40S, an in
crease over the showing at the time of
the 1900 census of 40 per cent. And it Is
to be remarked that when a city gets
into the 100000 population class it is in
very respectable company. There were
in the year 1900 fewer than 100 cities in
the whole world having population of
100000, and the 1900 census accredited
just eleven American cities as being i'll
the 100000 class. 1t is now practically
certain that half dozen other cities of
the United States will get into metro
poltan company when the 1910 figures
are completely printed. New Orleans,
Detroit, Milwaukee, Washington, ID. c.,
Newark, n j., Minneapolis and Kansas
City will be in the 100000 class and per-
lraps there will be others. Los Angeles
and Seattle have been making claims OF
enormous population growth, but Seattle,
at least, will have to submit to reduc-
tion of the padding that was found in
the first submitted returns.
As showing that city is entitled to
be world famous when it touches the
100000 population dignity it is only
necessary to name few world famous
cities that score around or below the
100000 population mark. Antwerp, one
of the six most important seaports in
the world, had population of POI ,94s
in 1900, Dublin had 290,63S, Lucknow
264 ,049, Bordeaux 257 ,63s, Genoa 230,7 10
Bremen 214,S6l, Geneva lIS,S56 and sc
the list might be extended to hundred
cities, all of which are of historic nott
and of world commerce Importance. NJ

able to make a comparable showing Will

Like every invention for the pleasure,

it has become an indispensable adjunct

these latter purposes are largely confined
