BUICK RACING TROPHIES
GUARDED BY PINKERT0NS

One of the unique features Of the
Buick exhibit at the coming auto show
at Fiesta park will be the wonderful
collection of Buick trophies. These are
cups and other prizes which have been
won by the Buick in the east and have
been shipped out here by the General
Motor company for the coast shows,
having been exhibited in Oakland. In
cluded in this collection are some of
the most famous trophies of the coun-
try. In several cases the designers
have got away from the stereotyped
silver cup idea and have produced
trophies along lines suggestive of auto
mobile racing that are really works of
art. Notable among these is the In
dianapolis speedway trophy.
The value of these trophies is consid-
erable, many of them being of sterling
silver, and as a consequence, the How
ard Automobile company keeps a Pin
kerton man on duty day and night.

FIAT HEADS THE LIST
OF AUTO RACE WINNERS
Captures 21 Out of 43 Races on
American Courses This
Season

Records of speedway racing in this
country for 1910, compiled by C. G..
Sinsabaugh in Motor Age, conclusively
show the superiority of the Fiat in
these events. Fiat cars started in
forty-three different races run on the
Los Angeles. Atlanta and Indianapolis
specially built motor car race tracks.
Practically half of these races-twen-
ty-one. to be exact-resulted in vic
tories for the Italian machine. OF the
other races in ten the Fiat was Sec
ond, in five it vas third and in seven
it was unplaced.
Fiat drivers won these victories in
races on all three of the big motor
dromes Ralph De Palma and Caleb
S. Bragg, two of the Fiat racing pilots,
were the only prominent drivers of
the country who competed at all three
tracks, with the sole exception of Har-
roun, the Marmon driver. De Palma
and the Cincinnati youngster raced
against all comers and in one instance
Bragg defeated a famous driver and
his 200 horsepower racer with a 80
horsepower stock chassis.
Altogether there were fifty-four diff
ferent makes of imported and Ameri-
can cars that competed in races on the
three motordrOme tracks. Only two
of the other makes won as many events
as the Fiat. the Marmon having tWen-
ty-three victories in eighty-three races
and the National twenty-three victor
les in 121 races.
Not only did the Fiat make the best
showing of the year in the proportion
of victories to starts, but the great
est average speed for the year, in
races of fifty miles and upwards, also
stands to its credit This average was
10 11-10O miles an hour, made by De
Palma with the Fiat "Cyclone" on
April 10, when he won the fifty-mile
free-for-all at Los Angeles in 81 min
utes, SO 53-100 seconds. A few makes
of cars that started in a few selected
events had & good proportion of vic
tories to starts, but of the makes that
competed consistently the Fiat made
by far the best showing.

CircumIocution.
Columbus, Ohio, State Journal.

Columbus, Ohio, State Journal.
Woman's chief moral blemish," &C
cording to Prof. Zueblen, is ''circumlo-
cution." We are indebted to the pro
fessor for SO lucid an explanation.
We had never been able to under
stand before just what was the mat
ter. The synonyms of circumlocution
are various: for instance diffuseness,
periphrasis, pleonism, prolixity, tauto-
logy. all of which mean indirect and
roundabout expression. or the use OF
many words where few would suffice.
So the women have high sociological
authority for knowing just what they
are. OF course, we cannot adopt this
heartless analysis, but our opinion is
neither here nor there on SO import
ant matter. 1T is the professor that
speaks and if there is any controversy
it is with him and not with us. But
the professors use Of this untoward
fact is what makes the observation
significant. He says the cure of this
blemish, as he calls it, is woman suf
frage: that is. if she wants to escape
the sad ordeal of beating around the
bush she should go into politics.

Old Age Pensions

No one doubts that the British old
age pension system. so bitterly assail-
ed at the time the legislation for it was
pending. is permanent and destined to
extension and liberalization" No
one doubts that other countries will
find 1t necessary to deal in one way
or another with the question Of proper
provision for industrial veterans" al
though with us the constitutional guar
antees preclude compulsory taxation
for pensions outside the public service
Interest attaches, therefore, to every
experiment or variation in tn old-age
pension idea.
The French senate, moderately pro-
gressive body. has just unanimously
approved a pension bill which it has
had under consideration for two years.
The bill already passed by the cham
Der, will affect about 100000 per-
sons. it is estimated, and will apply to
wage workers of both sexes. including
agricultural laborers and small tenant
farmers. Railroad men, miners and
seamen are the great class excluded
from its benefits, but only because
they are otherwise provided for
English papers strongly commend
the French scheme and declare it to be
fairer and more statesmanIike than the
British 1t provides for contributions
to the pension fund by employers, en-
ployes and the state respectively The
states contribution is equal TO the sum
OF the other two contributions The
full pension is limited to those who
reach the age of tS5, If they have paid
for thirty years. but at ~ a smaller
pension. to which the state contributes
nothing, may be claimed.
The annual pension under the sys-
tenn can not exceed $3.50 under the
most famous circumstances, but in
France this will be sufficient to avert
pauperism and misery in old age The
charge on the state treasury will be
heavy and the question of financing
the taxpayers has not yet been solved.
The measure. however. has been on
the program of all progressive groups
for several years, and its enactment
into law is practically certain

Aristocracy-and Charleston.
News and Courier.

Charleston News and Courier.
There is some difference of opinion
as to what is meant by arlstocracy,
but after all there is no reason to be-
lieve that the word has lost it's orig
ina1 force, or that it means anything
different from what it meant when
first coined, or stolen from the Greek.
1t meant then a government by the
best people, and it means now much
the same thing. So-called aristocracy
is not aristocracy at all, and a man
is not an aristocrat simply because
his father before him happened to be
one, nor is he an aristocrat because
he owns more property than any man
ought to be allowed to own. Some of
the most aristocratic people of this
country hardly know that there is
such thing as money. There are
more aristocrats occupying chairs in
colleges in America than there are
among all the millionaires punched to-
gether, and there are some aristo-
cratic ladies who have been wearing
the same spring hat for five seasons,
with different trimmings, perhaps.
Aristocracy is not wealth, nor is it
brains What it is exactly is hard
to define, but we have lot of it in
the south, and this city is the center
of it.

A SUCCESS STORY.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copy. ght, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye


1t is long cry from a redskins tie
pee to membership in the United States
senate.
OF the many success stories now
current this. one about Senator Charles
H. Curtis is surely worth the retelling
When the civil war broke out Curtis
was year-old Indian papoose tied to
a board and slanted up against the
center pole Of a wigwam of the kaw
tribe.
His mother was a squaw of the
kaws and his father white man.
The mother died when Curtis was
three years old. The boy lived with
bis Grandfather Curtis at Topeka.
Used to the free. open spaces. the In
dian youth was like a Gagged animal
He played truant at every chance. He
ran away from his books and began
selling newspapers and shining shoes
for O. livelihood.
Young Curtis was accustomed to loaf
about a certain racing stable. where he
came to be a jockey. He was daring
rider and won many races.
One day Curtis was the mount of q
vicious horse that flew the track and
threw his rider against high board
fence. That came near ending the
boys life. 1t ended his racing career.
Afterward he became a hack driver
and at the same time got an appetite
for an education.
In this respect Curtis was like that
other brilliant senator. Thurston of
Nebraska. who got his education while
driving an Omaha hack.
Studying law when he was not col
lecting fares. Curtis was admitted to
the bar when he was only twenty-five.
At twenty-four he was county prose
cutor.
He went after criminals as the Kaws
used to go after the Cheyennes.
Withal he read everything worth
while. and he is today an unusually
well educated man.
He ran for congress and failed the
first time. His next campaign was sue
cessful. and it's whirl wind character is
a tradition to this day.
Curtis is strong partisan. but a
brilliant man. and has devoted faith
full efforts toward the betterment OF
his mothers people. The much abused
and long cheated Indian has an elo-
quent cha mpion in Curtis.
Young man
Don't say you have no chance. What
chance had the orphan half breed who
at fifteen knew only the uncouth
speech of an Indian dialect?

~. Our Absurd Divorce Laws.
Inquirer

Mrs. Ava Willing Aston has been
granted divorce from her husband,
John Jacob Astor. Col. Astor is de-
MED the privilege of marrying again.
How absurd that is. According to
the laws of New York he cannot take
unto himself another wife. But ac-
cording to the laws of New Jersey
he can cross the Hudson in ferry
boat and marry to his hearts con-
tent in Jersey City or Hoboken, re-
turn to New York and live happily
ever after and his marriage will be
quite legal. This is the sort of thing
that brings into disrepute the law
system of this country. What is lille
gal in one state is perfectly legal in
another. Thus divorce laws have be-
come a roaring farce as we'll as a
positive disgrace. The remedy lies in
uniform legislation. Either that
either the states must agree upon
statutes regulating marriage and di-
yorce-or there must be constitu-
tional amendment granting power to
congress to act.
