notice that the people Of Tacoma
have become so stirred up by the
ringing of church bells at unseemly
hours" that they have asked their
city commissioners to pass law
prohibiting the bells. The Tacomans
are too sensitive. Some Of 'em would
be a blamed sight better off if they
paid mre attention to the church

When / look at all the hopyards
lying green beneath the sun, and |
think of all the lucre that is sure
from them to come; when | see the
loaded prune trees waiting for the
harvest days, I'm inclined to the
opinion that the land around here,
pays. When a man may gain a for
tune from one hopyard in year, am
pleased with the reflection that I've
used my share Of beer. Though I'm
not exactly boosting for the sousing
of the suds still, the use of all this
moisture changes "farmers" into
"bloods. Bloods who sport red
benzine buggies and tear up the
country road, while the folks who
drink their product, struggle dazed
beneath their load But, so long as
.jags will stagger, and so long as suds
they brew, we III just keep on getting
richer, we can't help what others do.
If the hop is more successful in the
beer than in the bread, it is only that
the people followed where the thirsty
led.

drain of population from the East

ern born whites who, between 1866
and 1900, largely by this means were
drawn from the South into other
sections, represented the most gil

The South raised these people, gave
them their inheritance of strength of

then presented them, full grown and

costliest ever made by any country on
the face OF the earth to any other
country. Just at the time when the
South is beginning to recover from
the result Of this priceless gift to the

The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1911-02-10

On entering the Madison
Square Garden automobile show
and looking over the superb eX-
hibit of motor trucks and other
commercial vehicles, we were i'm
pressed with the conviction that
if the "horseless age, " of which
we have heard and talked so re-
Gently, is not already upon us,
it is very near at hand. The
impression of power, capacity,
and speed was instantaneous;
and we felt as many another WIS.,
itor to the show must have done,
that what steam and steel had
done on the railroad, gasoline
and the rubber tire were destin-
ed to accomplish on our streets
and thoroughfares. There came
to mind the story of the southern
Negro who, on seeing the first
electric car to be shipped to the
South, exclaimed:
These northerners are a
mighty wonderful people. First
they free the Negro, and now
they've freed the mule"
If the commercial trucks exhi-
bited at the Garden can show IN
daily service the endurance and
capacity which are claimed for
them on grounds of theory land
many crrefully conducted tests
would indicate that they cam,
we may look for a steadily in
creasing substitution, for the
horse drawn vehicle of the motor
driven truck and delivery van.
In the delopment of new in
dustries there generally occurs
some critical period in which,
because of the final mastery of
some difficult and essential ele-
ments, the art experiences a
sudden and very decided devel-
opment and thereafter progress
ses'by leaps and bounds to take
it's place among the leading in

enables the the truck to be kept
in continual operation. Another
novelty was car whose power
plant is built as a complete unit,
and is so mounted in the chassis
that it can be quickly disconnec-
ted and removed, the front or
buffer plate of the frame being
hinged and capable of being
swung open to allow the engine
to be bodily withdrawn. The
object of this arrangement is to
make it possible, on announcing
the breakdown of a truck from
the nearest telephone booth, to
have a duplicate engine shipped
to the truck, mounted and con-
nected up - the last operation
requiring only a few minutes
time. The builders of this truck
place themselves under a rather
heavy guarantee, that the owner
shall not lose a day should the
the motor break down.
The important section of the
exhibit reserved for electric We
hicles gave striking proof that
the storage battety is making a
bold bid for recognition, not
merely in the field of pleasure
vehicles, but also for heavy COM
mercial work.
The electric pleasure vehicles
were chiefly of the light rum
about type, rnd some dainty and
beautifully finished exhibits
were shown in this line. Partic-
ularly attractive was four
seated. closed, electric carriage,
offered for the very moderate
price of 81 $50, and credited with
mileage per charge of rs to &C
miles; also a new four passenger
brougham equipped with a direct
spur gear drive. An exhibit in
this section was viewed with
great interest was TIE new Edi-
son battery, which was shown

many forms and sizes at the
Madison Square Garden show.
The high class workmanship to
which we have referred charac-
terizes practically the whole of
the exhibit, which covers a sur
prisingly wide variety of vehi-
cles, from the diminutive single
cylinder, tricycle. truck, operated
by one man, up to the huge ten
ton milk and coal trucks for ham
ding heavy merchandise in bulk.
A truck of the last named capac-
ity of which for a days service
is one thousand tons of coal.
These trucks alone mean the
elimination of at least sixty of
the largest and heaviest truck
horses from the city streets = a
consideration which shows how
radidly the growth of the indus
try will serve to reduce conges-
ton and improve sanitary condi-
tions.
The great variety of uses to
which the commercial vehicle is
being put is strikingly shown at
the Garden; for. aside from the
impressive exhibit of five and
ten ton trucks for carrying coal;
butchers supplies, and other
heavy freight, there were ambu-
lance wagons, fire engines hose
carts, police patrol wagons, and
delivery wagons designed for a
wide range of service. The
vehicles are frequently equipped
with double opposed, horizontal
motors, the larger with four
cylinder motors ranging in power
from 20 to As horsepower.
Among the exhibits that attract
ed special attention was a 3-ton
motor truck, with a removable
loading box, which can be quick
ly rolled off the truck-an ar
rangemens which greatly re-
duces TIE time of loading and

upon several types of pleasure
and commercial vehicles. An
Adams express:wagon which had
made trip from Washington to
New York was one.of the note
worthy electric vehicles using
Edison's cells.
Historical exhibitsgof3 pleasure
cars and of bicycles were two of
the features Of the second show.
The development of the latter
from the hobby horse of 1916 to
the speed motorcycle of today,
of which a score Of different
makes was exhibited, was inter-
esting in the extreme.
By no means the least encour-
aging feature of this years ex-
hibition was the fact that al
though the aisles and booths
were well filled with visitors, a
large majority of these were
either interested in the design or
manufacture of commercial We
hlcles or were present or pros
pective users of the same. -Scien-
tific American.

dustries of the time. Such pc
Rod occurred in the development
of the passenger-c carrying auto
mobile, and there are we'll dim
ed indications that the present
year marks similar stage OF
progress in the development OF
the commercial vehicle. Strong
proof of this is found in the fact
that whereas, in previous years,
exhibitors of commercial vehi-
cles were usually accommodated
in a gallery or in the basement
of Madison Square Garden, this
year, the numbers of exhibitors
was so great that it became nee
essary to split the exhibit into
two periods, extend the time to
two weeks, and to give up the
whole of the second week to COM
mercial vehicles.
Perhaps the most marked inn
preston Isft by this exhibit is a
sense of the high character of
the mechanical work, both as re-
CARDS the care and intelligence
shown in the design and the eXa
ccllence of the materials and
workmanship, in which respects
these locomotives of the high
way compare favorably with the
engines of the steam railroad.
In comparison with the railway
locomotive. the motor truck en-
joys the great advantage that it
does not have to develop che
tools, the shops and the work
men that are necessary to its
own fabrication. All of these
it finds not only ready to hand,
but eager to place themselves al
the service of the new and prom
Using industry; and it is because
of these conditions that the mo
tor truck, just as soon as it hao
proved itself in actual service,
developed into the perfected ma
chine which may be seen in so
