Not in many years has a single ut
 business map, directed to political ana economic conditions,
 5-.-u so WIde interest as did the ad- dress of Mir. George Perkins at Tough ton, Mich, few weks ago.
 MT. Perkins takes strong ground when he indicates that his plan for govern ment regulation of industrial corpora = tions would follow the lines of the pol icy already adopted and now in effect for the regulation of railroads Nohod V questions the excellent results that have followed that policy. True, 1t was opposed ir the beginning by some unwilling bus mess men who wanted no interference and by some over zealous railroad crit ics who believed nothing short of gov efnment ownership could produce the de- slled reforms. But between those ex- tremes was found the course which seems now assured of bringing the trans portation question to a satisfactory solu- tion.
 That solution involves acceptance of 1 tie view that large units can be more efficient and economical, and that in con sideration of the privilege of maintaining large units their managers must be sI.o- Jected Co strict government regulation and supervision. The government has not assumed yet to make rates but it does insist on unmaking rates that are nm Jusi or unreasonable and prescribing req sopable ones In their place.

The Irony of Street Cars

From the New York Sun.
 There are queer people in this New York city of yours. said visitor "The other evening I was on a Broadway ear and near the front door sat a young man It was chilly and wet, and the man was not comfortable. 1t was plain. He became more uncomfortable every time some one went out of the door, for it was always left open. Each time he got up and slammed the door and became more peeVish.
 He had done this adozen times or more when he found seat in the middle of the car Then to the astonishment of the man every one who went out of that front door carefully closed it after him. There was no reason to believe that there was a general conspiracy against the young man, vet I am sure that he could not understand it.''

For some wells past complaints have been frequently heard in dry goods agencies that shipments of goods are being delayed by an inability on the part of manufacturers to secure satisfactory help for running the machinery. When mills are closed for week or two they can resume operations readily enough with nearly a full quota of old employees. but after a prolonged curtailment of pro duction, such as the one which has been going on for months past it is found thar operatives have left their usual haunts and many have concluded to leave the mills forever. | HtsN1JN
 The difficulty does not appear 10 be local to the United States, for shortage of help is occasionally heard of in the German and English textile districts, in Canada, in Austria and very recently, iu Italy To some extent the present scarcity may be attributed to the great expansion i'll the installation of textile machinery. This expansion has been going on for a decade and the labor supply is deficient, even though many labor saving devices have been intro duced by which the number of employees required for certain operations is leS- sened. The automatic loom has come
 into being in l 3 years and although a single weaver it attends to twice or three times many of these machines as the, common looms; still the com plaints of scarcity of weavers are very numerous. The number of spindles d spinner may attend has doubled in a few years, yet 1t is quite as hard 70 secure small help for the spinnig rooms as II ever was. Some part of this diff ficultY has arisen, Of course, from the operation of the child labor laws

MAGNITUDE OF
 AUTO BUSINESS Cars in Use Valued Are at
 $60O,000,0G0 k. R. TERM EXPLAINED Dry Goods Agencies Claim There Is Shortage of Help - Perkins Speech on Government Con
 trol Arouses Interest
By PRESTON (. ADAMS

New York, October 9.-(Speeial.) )-We all have a general idea that the automo- bile business is a pretty big affair, but few of us realize how big this business has come to be- Careful estimates re- gently made place the number of cars now in use in this country at pretty close to half a million with an average of some thing like $l200 value on each. This would mean that the value of automobiles in use. is close to $G00,00o000.
 And the industry is in it's infancy yet. One authority estimates the output of the automobile factories for 1912 at not less than 2O0,O00 cars valued on an average at $1l00 each.
 If these figures are correct and there is no reason to believe they are not at least approximately so it means that he American people will next year spend nearly a quarter of a billion dollars in automobiles.
 If this is not pretty good evidence that the automobile manufacturers at least regard the condition of the coun- try as fairly prosperous it is hard to see what evidence would be convincing.

Except for the continued increase in the cost of living and the consequent unrest among the wage earners, it would be hard to find any reason to anticipate aught except a prosperous season.
 In the textile industry the great crop of cotton has caused a lowering of price to a point where the mills can operate on a basis satisfactory to the mill own CTS and the consequent reduction in the price of cotton goods makes it pretty certain that there will be demand suf- ficient to take care even of the crop which is expected
 The railroad outlook is sufficiently good to warrant the belief that the managers will be in the market for all necessary equipment and this should keep the steel mills busy
 With the textile and steel mills busy, and the railroads doing fairly well we have a pretty good ground work for good business.
 Then it must be remembered that the other great crops beside cotton while per haps not record breakers are in pretty good shape. Altogether there is no req son to believe that the country is not in good shape and that business will prosper as well as can be expected with noty contested Presidential election and pos sibe overturn of the party in power ahead of us.

Railroad people know exactly, and Wall street dimly. what is meant by the say ing if certain road had chance"
 or could get capital on reasonable terms, | it would make a good showing, but the layman may have to take good deal
 of his understanding for granted The | Wabash is the classic illustration. The ] income account for the year ended June 1 90. last, showed a deficit of $l03, GOO which is to say, available earnings fell that much short of meeting fixed charges.
 Superficialy, that is a bad showing but
 upon analysis 1t will be found that there was a debit balance during the year of Sl,000,000 for hire of equipment because the Watash itself has insufficient equip ment to handle it's own business.
 Tine average number of foreign ears per day on the Wabash road was 15,000, an increase of nearly 5000 in two years; the average number of Wabash cars on other roads per day was somewhat fewer than 10,o01. That is, 10 handle its own business the Wabash required to use continuously during the year an average of 5000 freight cars at 5000 per ear would be s, 000, GOO. and the cost of loo locomotives to haul them at slS,000 per locomotive, would be q, 5000, or a combined sum of $6,s00,OO0 would be S40S 00J, whereas the debit bal ance for hire of equipment last year was $l l,000, 000 The difference between the cost of capital at per cent to buy the equipment and the debit balance for hire of equipment, would be S592, ,000.

Members Of the police and fire de.
partments are making an investigation
into a mysterious fire which Quilted the
saloon of Molinera and Company at
219 Market Square just after one
o'clock this morning and the conditions
are such that there is reason to believe
that the saloon may have been set on
fire.
The polio are working on two theo-
ries One is that some ono having a
grudge against the men operating the
saloon deliberately set fire to it and
another is that the place had been
entered by burglars and fired to con,
ceal the crime. Chief Isermann this
morning placed the loss on the stock
and fixtures at from 5000 to 5000 and
this is covered by an insurance of
$500. The loss on the building which
is owned by John Monaghan will not
be large.
The fire seems to have broken out
simultaneously in the basement and at
the south end of the bar on the main
floor of the saloon. The fire was dis
covered by Police Officer Emil Clausen
and he ran to the fire station and call
ed out the fremen. They broke in
one of the cellar windows and found
the place mass of flames and second
later they found that the fire was de-
vouring the, bar fixtures in the upper
part of the building. No hole had been
burned through the floor and there
the fire in the basement and the fire
ON the first floor. The chief declared
that there was a strong odor of kero-
sene in the saloon and the proprietors
declared today that kerosene had not
been used for cooking purposes. The
fire in the basement had started in a
corner in which gas stove was set
up, but it is was declared that the
stove had not been used for many

and that so far as the owners of the
saloon knew no one had been in the
basement.
Charles Vite, one of the partners of
the business, declared this morning
that the fire in the stove in the main
portion of the building had gone out
before the saloon was closed after
eight o CLOCK Sunday evening.
The fire on the main floor spread
rapidly until it ruined all of the bar
fixtures. Much of the liquors on the
bar and in the apartments under it
were destroyed and the popping of the
corks made the fremen believe that
there had been several explosions in
the building. Vite declared this morn
ing that he could assign absolutely no
cause for the fire. He asserted that
to the best of his knowledge no one
had been in the saloon during the night
and that there had been no sign of any
fire when the place was closed up on
Sunday evening. He, however, did not
take any stock in the story that the
FIRE might have been set by enemies
and was inclined to think that it was
accidental,
