Ike said Third Glass Police Force
Was Better.

Washington, d. c., March 21.-An-
swering the criticisms of Colonel
Gaedke, the German military report
er who said the United States army
was not as efficient as a third class
police force, Congressman Hull of
Iowa, for 20 years chairman of the
house committee on military affairs,
said we could arm million men into
a mobile army today and have plenty
for a reserve and an abundant sup
ply Of ammunition.
Army officers assert we could have
an army of three million men in the
field within three months.
Comments from Kaiser Land,
Berlin, Germany, March 21.-
Translated from the German, Herr
Colonel Richard Gaedkes expert
military opinion is that the United
States army is inferior to third
class police force, while that of the
United States navy is only a shade
letter.
The "opinion' is given in the
Tageblatt. Gaedke believes that lhe
weakness of the American army, COM
pared with European forces is eX-
treme and that ii is a loose body of
troops without any bond between
them for cooperation. The United
States lacks generals organization
and military progressivenes, according
to the learned Berliner, and the navys
he says, shall be helpless when any
nation, warning with the United
states, sinks ship in the Panama ca
nal.

1T MAY COME ABOUT.

Instead OF seeking ways through
which the removal OF the overhead
wires may be brought about there
are counciimen who are seeking rea-
sons for not ordering the improve
meut. This fact was made clear at
the session at the city hall last eve
ming. It was already clear to some
Within the city council there are
men who are not trying to represent
the people at all. They are repre-
sentng the electric trust or the tele-
phone trust. Although elected by the
people and though under their oaths
Of office they are public servants they
seem 10 forget these facts and re-
member only their obligations to the
corporations.
How very strasge, Why is it men
Ike Tom Montgomery are blind as
bats when it comes to seeing the pub
lies need and the public's desire but
are eagle eyed when the interests oi
the electric trust are affected why
IS it they almost have chills at the
thought the electric company will
have u pay money for laying its wires
underground, yet have no particular
sympathy for local home owners,
businessmen and others who are pay
ing and have long been paying exces-
siye rates?
Why is it that certain councilmen
can look upon the underground wire
proposition only from the company's
standpoint? Why cannot they look
az the matter for a moment from the
same angle as do the ladies Of the
civic club? Those ladies seek to i'm
prove the appearance Of the city and
70 safeguard the lives Of the men in
the fire department. why cannot
these counciImen think for a moment
OF the local businessmen who are now
paying $1,000 per annum or five per
cent interest on $4,000 for cluster
lights while the effect Of those lights
IS spoiled by the unsightly telephone
and electric poles?
II will be interesting TO learn about
these things. There are reasons for
believing the council itself is in need
Of an investigation. Why is a public
servant not a public servant? It may
be worth while for the people Of PEN
dleton TO find out and there are many
who are getting interested in the sub
ject.

already looked into this matter and

INCREASE IN MOTOR CARS.

Someone has said, "ShOw me a man
who owns a motor car and will show
you one who wants another" In an
other decade this can well be amend
ed, "Show me a man who does not
own a motor car"
One can form some idea Of the me-
teOric growth Of an infant industry.
when the facts are known that five
years ago there were only $1,000 au-
tomObiles in use and that by the end
Of the present season this number
will have increased TO nearly 100000.
Last year American manufacturers
produced 200 900 cars, the average
price paid for these cars has been
placed at $500, which makes the to-
tai cost Of entire 1910 output amount
to 100000 900
The motor car industry has caused
our exports TO foreign countries to
reach enormous proportions. During
1910 the number Of American cars
exported were valued at $1,000, 900,
while the importation Of foreign ma
chimes has noticeably declined. This
is due to the ability Of the American
manufacturer to produce substan-
tial car at a reasonable price. Many
American manufacturers have found
il profitable to maintain direct selling
agencies in foreign countries.
There are many who are under the
impression that a motor car is short
lived. They are wrong. No car will
last forever, but any good car manu-
featured, and backed by an establish
ed concern properly taken care Of
Is almost indestructible and should
last at least five years.-Raymond F.
