RENO ERECTS A MAN OF STRAW


shallow pated fools who pride
themselves on the possibility of
creating a little principality where
gambling will be authorized to the
exclusion of other counties of the
state.
Nothing could be more convinc-
ing of the imbeclity that obtains
in the divorce capital than this. Jas
Sumption Of superiority to the rest
of the state. 1t is taken for granted
at the outset that such a condition
is possible. If the gambling
fraternity ever permitted them
selves to be controlled by such
misguided doctrines, all the
Tribune can do is 10 advise a
change of climate and the engage
ment of few attorneys who have
a few rational moments at their
command.
Let it be understood that there
cannot he an ything approximating
local option where a felony is
concerned and the men who think
they can gain special Iegislati on
for Washoe or any other county in
coniraN sntion Of the general
statutes should take something
more substantial than a correspond
ence course in law. If gambling
were to be allowed in one county
and prohibited in another the same
protection would apply TO all other
classes of felonies by simply having
the legislature declare murder and
assas sination perfectly legal and
justified within the domains of
some particular subdivision of the
state. The counties are integral
parts of the state. They are
subject to the sale restrictions and
limitations and one cannot be
excepted from the application of
the statutes than any of the others.
What applies to one applies with
equal force to all and this ruling
cannot be multiplied or subtracted
from by the most astute statesman.
4 common error is to align local
option with the sale of liquor and
the possibility Of procuring q
license to operate games of chance.
The sale Of liquor is licensed
business regulated by police
measures. In the abstract the sale
of liquor is not unlawful but it is
deemed wise to place the trade
under special supervisor so that
men engaged in the business will
conduct themselves with due regard
for the requirements of society.
On the other hand. gambling is a
crime that cannot be condoned.
If the law declares gambling a
felony there cannot be any immunity
fer offenders in any part Of the
commonwealth. and it becomes
the duty Of each district attorney
to see that the law is enforced.
Failure on the part Of the county
officers to suppress gambling or
other felonies would mean that
the attorney general would step
in and vindicate the dignity Of the
law.
Gambling is a past number in
Nevada and will remain so as long
as the members Of the legislature
obey the voices of their corstit-
uents. The present law must bt
mended to clarity the meaning that
may be interpreted to apply to
social games ard pastimes. which
the worst enemies of gambling
never expected to see incorporated
in the law. A few simple amend
ments will conform to this end
and will be where the reform will
end. The gamblers might as we'll

MULFORD'S LOZIER

Seventy-four and seven tenths miles
per hour was the average speed OF
Mulford's Lozier, winner Of the 1911
Vanderbilt Cup Race, setting a new
mark for the distance.
Close behind the winning car came
De Palma in his Mercedes, and he
also broke the former records, as did
Spencer Wishart in another Mercedes.
It was a great race and Grant s
Lozier, Parker's Fiat and Disbrow's
Pope Hummer, finishing in the order
named, made fast enough time to win
any ordinary contest. Every car to
finish was equipped with Michelin
tires, "as usual"

Hughie Hughes in a Mercer averaged
over 6S miles per hour. with Heine-
man and Nikrent, in the Marmons,
following close at his heels. All
three cars were equipped with
Michelin tires, and Hughes Mercer
went through the race without 4

STUDEBAKER CARS

nounced by the Studebaker Corpora

word, that hereafter the Studebaker
Corporation will sell automobiles on
time-will accept notes from farmers
and other responsible bukers, for It's

dustry has been unique In that Il was
a strictly cash business. No dealer and
no individual buyer. however we'll

CADILLAC LEARNS
BUYERS MOTIVES

Every motor car manufacturer in
America has probably tried to satisfy
himself, times without number, as 20
the precise motives which inspire the
average man when he buys an auto
mobile
Strange as it may seem the motor
car industry, with it's staggering
money totals running into the billions
of dollars, has been built up without
any scientific attempts to secure an
adequate answer 10 this question.
Manufacturers and dealers alike
ascribe TO certain cars certain quail
ties which they believe explain the
success of those cars; but no attempt
had ever been made to gather salts
factory statistics on the subject, until
the Cadillac Motor Car Company SET
about it short time to secure this
information from owners OF Cadillac
cars throughout the country.
In response to the Cadillac inquiry
a great number of answers were re-
ceived.
Twenty-six per cent. Of those who
responded said that they were i'm
pelled to their purchase by absence
of repair trouble and repair expense
Twenty-one per cent, replied thai
they bought the car because they
had driven the Cadillac in previous
seasons.
Fourteen per cent. assigned relia'
bility and durability as the essentials
which they considered first; while
nine per cent bought because OF gen
eral economy.

ENGLISH ROADS
BETTER THAN OURS

The present agitation on good roads
has provoked considerable conjec-
ture as to Just what would be the
situation in the automobile business
In the United States if we had as gooi
roads as our cousins in England. One
eminent man in the profession, who
has just returned from an extended
trip to Europe in the interests OF
American-made cars, remarked last
week that If we had as good roads as
are found in England the automobile
business III this country would be
doubled.
This statement may sound venture
some,' said Secretary ]. E. Lambert,
Of the Regal Motor Car Company,
who made it. but l am firmly con-
vinced that il is true
"Gopd roads, besides bringing pros
perity in their wake to the localities
that built them, would. by stimulat-
ing travel, almost double the demand
for automobiles.
The production of automobiles has
already assumed vast proportions,
but the construction of roads as good
as those in England would show an
increase in the demand and a corre-
spending increase in the production.
The English roads are better than the
general run Of our boulevards; they
are so smooth that you glide over
them instead of ride. II we had
such roads in America, with our ma
tural longing TO travel, the manufac-
turer of automobiles would, of neces-
sity, far exceed it's present proper
tons"

CHALMERS BUSINESS SHOWS
BIG INCREASE FOR 1912

"The Chalmers Motor Company re-
ports an increase in 1912 business OF
35 per cent over the same period Of
the 1911 season, says r. r. Banks,
manager OF the Wilmington Automo-
bile Company, local dealer in Chal-
mers cars.
From July s. when the 1912 an
nouncement of Chalmers cars was
made to November "a the company
shipped 3,435 cars. These shipments
place the Chalmers company among
the first Of the largest producers in
the country.
THE shipment Of nearly $500 cars in
four months seems to be the best indi-
cation that the 1912 season will out
strip any earlier season in point of
business. With 3,435 cars now ship
ped the Chalmers company is still far
behind in its orders. The factory is
working full capacity and running
night as well as day.
"The business already on our books
assures that the Chalmers factory will
be kept running full capacity through
