Everyone can tlae the Brush, whether mer.
chant, salesman, collector, solicitor, contractor,
architect, mechanic or professional man-espe-
ciay the doctor. Recently doctor advertised
in medical paper asking brother physicians
their opinion of the Brush. Fifty-two answered
and praised the car. He ordered one, and sent
the answers to us. We've printed them in a
book which we'll be glad to send you.
We especially want merchants to ask us how
the Brush will help them in their business-we
have some surprising testimonials from men
who are using the car for delivery work, beside
hundreds who arc using it as runabout.
But don't get wrong idea. The Brush isn't
wholly business car. Being simpler than any
other car, it's used by more women than any
other for pleasure. Everyone in the family can
use t-even the youngsters in their teens. That's
really why it's called EVERYMAN'S CAR.

WE cite this experience of Fred Ingersol
" Of Pasadena, CAL, because it presents
conclusive evidence of the three espe-
cial virtues Of the Brush, which we wish to
emphasize to everyone SIMPLICITY, DE-
PENDABILITY and ECONOMY.
No complicated mechanism could stand this
steady grind without frequent necessity of re-
pairs, entaiiing both loss Of time and expenditure
Of money. Either would have been fatal OBJ
lection to the use Of the Brush by a Rural Free
Delivery mail carrier.
No car could be simpler than the Brush-no
car that is more free from mechanical difficulty.
1t is different from every other car made in
American original idea in motor car con-
struction.

THE BRIDGEPORT FATALITY
(Exchange.)


 The worst railroad wreck on the New Haven road that has occurred for a long time came at Bridgeport at S:3z this morning when the engine and SIX cars of nine-car train were hurried from the viaduct. AS far as known 12 persons were killed and A injured. :,
 The official report from the railroad the engineer taking the crossover from track to track at a high speed, probably 50 miles an hour, al though the rules call for speed not over 15 miles an hodr in making the crossing. The train. the Federal FIX press from Washington to Boston, le1t New York an hour late. There was nrobably an attempt to make up time, and as the engineer and fireman were killed little more light can be expected as to the cause of his taking that crossing at such speed.
 Some of the escapes were astouno- ing In one instance when a car Tn the wreckage was cut open from the upper side a passenger crawled through at once, dragging his travelling bag with him. He was practically unin- jured and went to work heartily rescuing others. Two men who were in the last car that went down the viaduct were little more than scratch ed The car just behind was derail- ed, but did not come over. If 1t hao moved 8 few feet further 1t would have fallen on tine car from which these two men escaped, and the twen- ty people in it would have added ma terially to the list of dead and badly hurt The members of the St. Louis National ball team were in one of the two sleepers which remained on the track and they did much useful work in saving others from the wreck They turned out so promptly that some of them went to work barefoot ed, and had their feet badly cut by stones.
 These are only few incidents Many more will be found in the de- tailed story of the wreck. which IS printed on the first page.
 As for the responsibility, we must wait for the official report. which will be made in time.

| would certainly have brought in the missing facts, and that the result | would have been in the community a | wholesome feeling of satisfaction, in- stead of an unsatisfactory feeling of distrust.
 Again there is his finding anent the of the methods of paper railroading his conclusions were sound enough But the practical interest of the pub- lie was in the actual manner of oper- ation of that railroad on the night of that wreck. The vital point, from the view of practical railroading, was that the red lamp, the danger signal was out. Yet the public has no in- formation as to how it happened to be out, and indeed there is the gen. eral feeling that the facts of the wreck of June 6 are not only un- known, but obscured
 Now comes the wreck of the Fed eral Express. The public demands that the investiga ton into this wreck shall be held in the open. The in- terest of the public, of all of the public who use modern means of transportation at least, or have rela- tives or friends who do, lies in the light, in an open investigation Not that the public is distrustful of the sincerity of the coroner, undoubt- edly he is given credit for good in- tentions
 But democracy, which knows the weakness of the individual as we'll as it knows it's own strength, equips it's clerks with cash registers. Honest clerks welcome cash registers. Hon. est clerks know that, cash registers aid honesty. Cash registers are only dangerous to dishonest clerks. Pub licity is the cash register of govern ment.
 The coroner is confronted by a public that demands open investiga- tion of the wreck of the Federal Ex- press.
 The public is confronted by cor oner who most apparently belongs to that school of political thought which disposes of public demands by cata- loguing them under the general head of public clamor."
 A tendency to catalogue public. de- mand as ''clamor' is the characteris- tic weakness of officials whose ap- pointments come to them by indirec- ton.
 The coroner is not even the ap- pointee of an elected officer He is the appointee of appointed officers. His job is so remote from the citi- zenship and so difficult to reach, that, he is relatively safe in ignoring al- most any righteous public demand, even public demand so righteous as that which requires a daylight in- vestigation of the wreck of the Fed eral Express.

THE RISKS OF INDUSTRY.
Philadelphia Record.)

A fragment of a burst fiy-wheel
 after tearing it's way through a floor | in a Darby mill yesterday, killed a
 15-year-old girl working at g. spin blame; fly-wheels sometimes unac- countably burst Anyhow, no fault will be imputed to the employer un- less 1t can be shown that the wheei 1 had a g1aring defect which made it obviously dangerous; and that it's or his responsible agents, and that, what happened was to have been ex- pected. To simply the case as much as possible, however, it will be as- sumed that there was no negligence; that the occurrence was purely an ac- cident. On this assumption the own CT of the wheel or the employer of the girl would be free of any liability.
 But the 15-year-old girl surely was guiltless of negligence, either direct or contributory. It cannot be sup posed that she knew anything of the danger lurking in a wheel revolving on it's axis, quite securely as it seem ed, on the floor below, that on which she worked. She had been in this employment only two days. Yet un- could know nothing, would be one of the ordinary risks of her employ ment; which by legal implication she assumed. The theory of the compen- sation laws, which many states have adopted, is the reverse of the one on which the assumption of risk" rule is founded. It casts the burden of the ordinary risks of industry from the shoulders of the workers, not on the backs of the employers, but on the industry itself. The burden would fall ultimately on the general public; for the cost of the risk would be added to the cost of product; and the consumer would pay
 Yet this shifting of the burden of the first loss from the employee to the employer has been declared to be in violation of the Constitution. It has. been called taking of property without due process of law. What property? When the obligation was imposed by Judgment law on factory operatives to assume the ordinary risks of the industry in which they engaged, there was no thought of proprietary rights being involved. Neither are rights of property invol- we'd in reversal of the rule. En- p1oyers' liability for industrial acci- dents might be regarded as a tax; it might even be considered a penalty. But how an obligation which is pure ly personal when imposed on an em- ployee becomes transformed into an act of confiscation when imposed on an employer is one of the puzzles of judicial logic. Why should not each industry bear it's inevitable and or- dinary risks?

INVESTIGATION FINDS
 SALEM, MASS. SAIL0RLESS
Once Greatest American Sea- port Found Without Single Living Follower of the Bound ing Main

Salem, Mass, July 13-Salem, Mass, was once a highly important port. It was the seat of the great China trade, and noble clipper ships brought back home all the treasures of the East Salem wharves groaned with bales of tea, with boxes of precious porcelains, with silks and other wares; and crowds of sailors jostled the descendants of the witch-hanging Puritans. But times have changed; there is no longer a single sailor in Salem! Some seven ty years ago Salem sea captain, who had grown rich in the China trade, Henry Barr by name, left by will the sum of $40.000 for the maintenance of religious services for sailors Under this bequest, religious services have been carried on at the Sailors Bethel, on the wharves, for many years; but the attendance has grown smaller and smaller until of late the chaplain of the Bethel has been preaching to ab- solutely empty benches. And now a church investigation has developed the fact that there is not a sailor left in Salem! The@question arises, What is to be done with Barr's bequest?

Politics In P. Q. Changes
 At New Haven
Claim Made That Recent Shifts
 Place Republicans at Head

New Haven, July 13.-The inter- esting feature that has blossomed out | Of the latest shake-up at the New Haven postoffice, lies, it was said
 last night, in the claim that there is
 some political significance back of | the move.
 According to inside information. early in the year, it appears, Post
 master General Hitchcock, who has been doing a thing or two in the mat
 much success planned to have the office of New Haven assistant post master-as filed for years by Major W. P. Futile, eliminated, and to create two offices in the New Haven postoffice, one to be in charge of a | other to be in charge of "superin- tendent of mails"
 It was expected that the finance l job would be given to Assistant Post master Futile, and that the mail job would be retained in the hands of Pierce M. Maher, who has filed 1t | for years.
 But when the cards came out re- gently Futile was given Maher's place
 as superintendent of mails, and the | tendent of mails, with his duties in- creased-his supervision being exer- cised over a large number of men. It was stated last night that the posi-. tion of superintendent of finance will be awarded to Auditor John A. Hull. l the cashier of the office, if indeed he
 has not already been appointed to | that position. This change, it was said last night. would keep these two major appointm ents within the ranks
 of the Republican party.
 When it was learned some time ago that Mir. Maher was to te re- duced in rank, it is claimed that his friends in this city who upheld the work of civil service reform, and who had backed MT. Maher as civil service graduate, and because of the
 work he had performed, and because Of his labors at the head of the Fed eral Civil Service board here. became
 very indignant and made a stir about it. As to whether. MT. Futile will
 sustain any less salary from what he
 has enjoyed; was not assured last municated with. It is said that
 Mahers salary remains the same as formerly. He woud not discuss any of the changes when seen at the postoffice yesterday afternoon. He
 referred his inquisitor to Postmaster
 Howarth.
 Postmaster Howarth said last night
 want to talk about. He thought 1t best for the parties at interest to
 work it out among themselves. He
 would not discuss the subjeck in any
 way.
 It could not be made out clearly
 last night how, in view of the changes
 the expenses of running. the New Ha-
 lessened. The financial arrangement
 has not been revealed. Neither could it be learned that there was to be
 any cut down in the general staff.

RUBBER MILLS CLOSE. Paucity of Orders the Reason Assign.
 ed-May last Month.

Naugatuck, July 13.-The local rubber factories will be closed on Saturday evening, July Is, for a per- iod of from two to four weeks, and notices to the effect have been post ed in the different buildings The sundries department of G. I. R. Glove company will not be included in the shutdown as that department has or ders to last them for some time to come- This being the second shut down of the year makes it particu- larly unfortunate for the rank and file of the local rubber industry, for what with the cost of living and the low rate of wages for the average worker they find it extremely hard to pay ordinary living expenses.
