PIERCE MOTOR TRUCK

Ever since 1906 the Pierce Arrow com

truck but not until this spring has it
placed one on the market. Because it
was known that the company was ex-
perimentine so carefully and patiently
before putting out truck TO which 1t
would allow its name TO be attached, the
automobile world has been watching with
unusual interest for chance to inspect
the finished product
Salt Lake will be one of the first cities
in the United States to see one of the
new trucks, The Tom Botterill Auto
mobile company had its order in long
ago. and the sixth truck TO leave the
factory is now on It's way to Salt Lake
One feature of the truck Is different
from any other made in America. This
is the worm gear, Because of the i'm
mcnse beveled wheels which would be
necessary. bevel gears are out of tho
question for heavy trucks. The chain
gears have been generally adopted, but
the Pierce company discarded these be
cause of the loss of power and for other
reasons. 1t has been testing out the
worm gears on heavy service for years.
and has concluded In these that 1t has

rier-Journa, ethan that peace is established
and life and property made safe by rigid en-
forcement of law"
In fact, no man is likely to invest his
money or make his home in State or country
where he believes neither his property nor
himself will be kept from harm, no matter
how powerful or influential the wrongdoer
may be.
We spend much in promoting commercial
congresses, chambers or commerce, and in be-
ing represented at fairs and land shows at
home and abroad, that our State and it's re-
sources may be advertised to the world. These
constitute most highly commendabe activ-
ity It must be encouraged and given more
support.
But then let us remember that the quiet
citizen who does not shirk jury service, who
on all occasions gives his vote and his voice
to the cause of law enforcement is doing more
than all other agencies combined to advertise
his State favorably and promote its material
progress.
Let more citizens join his ranks.

Teaching English

One hundred and fifty English teachers
have formed an association TO improve the
teaching Of English" We suggest that they
begin by emancipating themselves from little,
petty rules, in view of the elasticity of human
speech, says the st. Louis Republic.
The best way to achieve this would be to
make one grand bonfire Of books about books
commentaries on Dante, Tennyson, Shake
speare, Mrs. e. D. E. N. Southworth, or whom
not-and read the masterpieces Of literature
instead of the vaporings Of nobodies about
them. Let philology be cast to the winds.
Who cares how Spencer used the subjunctive
mood? How does that affect any ''quotable
value" in his poetry The teaching of Eng
fish is dead for lack Of real enthusiasm over
the vital qualities Of real books.

Phi1ede1phia's Experiment

With the Inauguration Of Rudolph Blank
enburg as mayor, Philadelphia began an eX-
pertinent in municipal government which will
be watched with interest, says the New York
World.
1t is not that the Quaker City has made
any change inits physical form Of government
It has not embarked on the commission plan or
introduced any other innovation in municipal
machinery. But for the first time in twenty
seven years it has a mayor whose eelction
was not due to machine Republican votes and
who conceives that his duty, as declared in
his inaugural address, is not to ptrty faction
but ''to give the people non-partisan ad-
ministration in which political considerations
shall be ignored
In that promise lies the revolutionary new
departure taken by the city. It is an expert
ment in civic morality after nearly three de-
cades Of base servitude and political brigan-
dage, and that it is radical new step in mu-
nicipal government for Philadelphia is obvious
to all who have even casually followed it's
devious ways Of boss disagreement
