FATAL TO PROGRESS
GRAVE DANGER IN MAKING LIFE
TOO EASY.
Mans Energies and Usefulness De-
veIoped by truggle-History Shows
Unwisdom of the Paternal Sys-
tenn of Government.

What sort of creature would man
become if an omnipresent, powerful
protecting influence watched over him
In his walks and his rides, at his play
and at his work, Would not the man
so treated as a child soon become
thoughtess and improvident as
child, confiding for all the good of
life in the protection accorded him
and finally claiming it as a right and
its withdrawal as a crime? Remem-
Der that while it may be permitted to
doubt whether the monkey became
the man by struggle and the expert
ence of years, we yet know that the
savage has developed into the civilized
man by the survival of the fittest, by
the elimination of the weak, and that
the rule seems to hold good in the
mental and moral Kingdoms as well
as in the ruder and more strenuous
battles of the muscles.
The legions enforced the Roman
peace upon the world, and what fol-
lowed? Civilization grew soft and
corrupt-the superiority of its arms
and its knowledge proved insufficient
to protect it. and from the icy forests
of the north swept the storm of saw
age strength and brute force. declares
a writer In the New Orleans Picayune
Miracles could not save the church
when armies failed the throne; all for
which man had labored for centuries
was swept away and darkness brood
ed over Europe till another beginning
could be founded on the relics of the
old Is peace desirable? Enough of
doubt fingers in the question to make
us careful how we give to law for the
individual the protecting care that
seems fatal to mans energies and use
fulness in the mass.
If we could eliminate from civiliZa-
ton the sports that main or Stay, the
drinks or foods that injure, the naked
ness that leaves disease behind, and
the poisoned airs that Stay at hand,
can we be sure that man would be
saved and not annihilated? Once civ
ilization set the church in the position
OF responsibility only to learn that
even the church could play the tyrant;
shall we trust science after the failure
or the church?
Our ancestors began to look for a
savage foe behind every tree as soon
as the boy set out with a rifle to find
the meat for the breakfast table; we
find football a game too dangerous for
our sons. In contempt of germs and
microbes the soldier of yesterday
marched out to the field of battle and
kept stout heart; now he dies before
he can leave his own soil and we up
lift our hands in prayer, knowing that
the microbe is too powerful for us.
The southern soldier of the COS faced
armies whose recruiting ground en-
braced the world. and he kept them
back for four long years till he was
stricken in the rear; now the authori-
ties of the national army report that
the southern recruit is unfit because
he has the book worm now or suffered
from it in his youth.
We do not despise the triumphs of
morality and science-if we must be
taxed for protection we must accept
its seeming benefits. But sometimes

could not have told us in palmer lar
guage that he wanted us to come with
him, and so we drew our caps close
around our ears and. buttoning our
coats tighter. we started to follow the
dog. 1t was bitterly cold and the
snow, which was still falling. lay more
than ankle-deep. We were able to
make out the road only by Keeping
the dark waters of the loch on our
left we'll in view, all landmarks were
obliterated, and otherwise we had to
trust to the guidance of the dog.
For more than an hour we toiled
along through the wild night. Caesar
never for moment relaxing his eff
forts to hasten our progress, and kept
hurrying on before us and barking.
So we left the road and faced the
steep hill. The ascent was very ardu-
Gus. no path of any kind to guide us.
and often we were up to our knees in
snow. We were entirely at the mercy
of the dog, who continued to bark as
he plunged through the drifts, always.
however, coming back as if to encour-
age us. In this way we proceeded for
more than half an hour up the hill.
when Caesar suddenly made another
rush away. We stood still and list
ened; in a few minutes we heard at
some distance off the same dismal
howl which had first drawn us from
the comfortable fireside at the inn.
We increased our pace as much as
we could, although II was no easy
matter, ploughing through the deep
drifts of snow and stumbling over the
boulders and rocks which lay hidden
beneath. but we made the best of our
way to where the sound came from.
AS we approached nearer we heard
mans voice and we almost broke
into a run, stumbling and falling at
every step. Caesar now bounded to
meet us and Immediately hurried back
to place where he scraped and
scratched away the snow, clearing a
large space round the PROSTATE form
of a man
Thank God" he muttered In a
feeble voice. that you have come at
last; ii has seemed a long time to me.

barking of the dog. ] feared it was

Long before he had finished speak
ing we had recognized our host. the
laird.
What has happened and how came
you TO be here?" we exclaimed to-
gether
I'm afraid my leg is broken" he
replied; 81 am quite helpless"
did all in my power to render the
laird comfortable until assistance ar
rived and again / had an opportunity
of observing the sagacity of Caesar,
for between the interval of scraping
! away the snow he came and crouched
down beside his master in order to
impart to him what warmth he could
from his own body
In due course our friend returned
from Cairndhu. bringing with him a
medical gentleman whom he was for
tunate enough to have found at the
inn, and with other willing hands we
were soon able to carry the laird
1 home.
Caesars exploit gained for him a
great reputation and he lived for
many years afterward the most re-

STRANG FIRST ENTRY
IN INTERNATIONAL RACE
Racing Pilot Signifies Intention of
Appearing in $4,000
Sweepstakes

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 3.-Lewis
Strang, one of Americas most famous
motor racing pilots, takes the honor
of being the first man to enter in the
500-mile international $4,000 sweep
stakes competition to be run on the
Indianapolis motor speedway May ",
1911. Only a couple of days had elapsed
after the flood of entry blanks had
gone forth to every automobile manu-
facturer and pilot on two continents
when the blank signed by Strang ana
nominating a Case car was received
at the office of the big racing plant.
The necessary initial deposit Of SIPS
accompanied the entry, with the news
that the daredevil victor in three in
ternational classics IN one season (that
of 1909 expected to pledge two more
powerful speed demons from the Case
factory at an early date. Lewis
Strang, who is captain and manager or
the Case company's racing squadron,
declared that he would handle one Of
the cars himself and that he planned
to sign two other pilots of signal
achievement in the gasoline speed
world and so send three special mon
sters on the grueling flight of 800 miles
for the richest rewards that ever lured
a prince of the speed game to victory.
The announcement of the Indianapo-
lis motor speedway LldI II WOulu PIo-
mote the 500-mile international sweep
stakes race was SO stupendous that
few could realize shat it was in ear
nest. A fortune In gold for motor
race is hard to realize, even In these
days of modern sophistication, when
no achievement of man can hardly be
expected to hold the public in awe.
The tremendous distance, coupled
with the stipulation that every en-
trant must show a speed of seventy
five miles per hour to qualify, and the
unheard-of proportions of the cash
prizes proved sufficient, however, to ar
rest the attention of the automobile
and the entire sporting world. People
are beginning to appreciate the sig
nificance of this announcement.
This race will be open to all cars of
600 cubic inches piston displacement
and under, with a minimum weight of
1900 pounds, regardless of stock re-
quirements. 1t will be run under the
auspices of the American Automobile
association, under the division known

HAYNES CAR WINS TWO
ENDURANCE RUN TROPHIES

In the Chicago reliability run, held
under the auspices Of the Chicago
Motor club, the TWO Haynes entries,
driven by Wagner and Williams re-
spectively, finished with perfect scores,
winning the Goodrich and Stewart and
Clark trophies. The run covered a
fraction over 1890 miles after five con-
tinuous days of travelling.
Because of recent rains the roads
were in anything but good condition
and the schedule called for twenty
miles an hour throughout over this
strenuous going. Many of the highest
powered contenders were forced to
abandon all hope of reaching control
on time, but the Haynes entries hung
doggedly to their task, plowing through
mud and humping through ruts, but
reaching every control on the second.
It is concededly the most remarkable
endurance performance ever pulled off
in the vicinity of Chicago.
A telegram just received by the local
branch of the Haynes Auto Sales COM
pany bespeaks the elation of the
Haynes factory over the astonishing
victory Of the two cars.

ADDS NEW AUTO LINE
The Garford Is an Established
Machine Under New Name

About the nrst OF August last the Garford
company and the Studebaker Automobile COM
pany severed relations for reasons which would
be Of little interest to the public. consequently
the cars formerly known the Studebaker-
Garford will be known and sold under the
name Of Garford
The Garford company is one Of the very
Oldest manufacturers of high grade mtotor
in this country, and up until 1906 there
was hardly an automobile manufactured in
this country selling for $1,000 or more that did
not contain Garford part. The Garford COM
pany has been manufacturing complete chassis
since 1902. and the first cars which they built
compare favorably with the present high grade
cars In points Of mechanical excellence, de-
sign and quality Of steel used Their 1902
chassis had four-cyllnder motor, cylinders cast
in pairs, cone clutch. sliding gear transmits
sion. floating type rear axle. and pressed steel
frame, and they used hfty-point carbon steel
in all OF the parts carrying any great strain.
They cut their gears out OF O solid bar and
never did use drop forge blanks for this work
In the years 1906 and 1907 the Rainier car,
manufactured by Garford, was by far the
most popular and best seller in New York and
vicinity.
In the past four years the Garford chassis
has been responsible for Btudebaker's reputa-
tion in the automobile business. The Garford
plant Is one OF the finest in existence, being
absolutely dreproot and equipped with all OF
tho very latest automatic machinery Special
attention is called to this fact by reason of
Mr.. Garford owning very large per cent of
the stock OF the Cleveland Automatic Machine
company which manufactures most OF the ma
chimes used In the manufacture OF automobiles
in this and foreign countries Thus 1t can be
seen that the Garford cars are placed on the
market with the reputation obtained by having
manufactured high grade motor cars for a
period Of over ten years. the change being a
matter Of name only.
These will be handled by the Lord
Motor Car company OF 1889 South Olive street.

Indianapolis Speedway Manage
ment Sparing No Pains

Not a single detail looking to the
comfort and convenience of the visitors
at the Indianapolis motor speedway
during the 5O0-mile race, May 27, is be-
ing overlooked by the management.
The fortune Of $4,000 which is
whetting the appetite of both motor
car builders and pilots for the coming
speed battle of all times, means that
from the four corners of the winds
there will be contestants, visitors and
newspaper and magazine men present
to witness and record the happenings.
Carl G. Fisher, president of the Speed
way company, has the assurance from
Will H Brown, vice president of the
WHY'S Overland company, that a
squadron of automobiles will be at the
service of the Speedway people upon
this date. They will be used by the
magazine and newspaper reporters and
photographers. The circular paved
race course is two and a half miles long
and in case of accident autos will carry
all the soldiers, and ambulance physi-
slams as well as newspaper men. There
will be no work left for the horse as
automobiles will care for everything.
The horse has been relegated to the
category of curious luxuries at the
speedway where gasoline is king.
