Motorsu... Instead Of s.,..t Cars,

lChlcago Record Herald
After noting traffic conditions in New
York City for a week, Lord Montagu
of Beaulieu, vice president of the
Automobile Club Of Great Brittian and
a student Of transportation methods,
says that city should substitute motor
buses for street cars in its most
crowded streets. The notorious, in his
opinion, has been developed until it is
better means Of public transporta-
ton than the street car. It can be
operated. he says. at a cheaper cost
per passenger and per mile than the
street car, owing to the fact that 1t
needs no permanent way: it can take
on and discharge passengers at the
side of the street. and it can move
more freely in the streets.
The possibility Of the NOTORIOUS sup
planting the street car has been rec
ognized by street railway men for
several years. If. as Lord Montagu
claims. nearly all those who have
studied traffic problems in the older
countries are losing faith in tramcars
and are turning their attention to the
free-wheeled mechanical vehicle" it
would be we'll for American cities to
study the operation of the motorbuses
in Paris and London. Not to have
tracks in the streets and not to have
the noise Of street cars would be a
blessing to the public, to say nothingg
Of the f1exibility Of operation possible
with the notorious.

EIRER1 H. HUBBARD.

Iowa sustained a saddening and seri-
Gus loss in the death OF Congressman
Ebert H. Hubbard of the Eleventh
district: Aside from his valued and eff
ficient service in congress the com
rnunity has lost an excellent man and
the death Of good man is always
great loss He was held in high es-
TEEN in his home city of Sioux City
and wherever men knew him. In pri-
vate and public life Hubbard followed
the dictates of his own best knowledge
and the lead of his convictions
The Iowa congressman appears TO
have been held in Washington equally
high with his standing in Iowa. The
Washington Times says Of him:
In the death Of Ebert H. Hubbard
of Iowa, the progressive movement
loses one of its best, finest and most
courageous souls. Mr. Hubbard of all
the progressives in congress was per
haps the most unwavering in his
LOYALTY TO progressive principles. When
other Iowans wavered on the matter of
supporting Cannon for speaker. Hub
bard stood firm and continued his at
tack on the enemy of progress. When
otehr Iowans here started TO vote for
the Aldrich bill. Hubbard alone, from
first to last, took the stand that If ev-
ery vote in the house was 10 be cast

belief and made speech forr eciproc-
tty which was perhaps the best deliv-
cred in it's favor. The farmers Of the
Eleventh district Of Iowa rose TO an
appreciation of his integrity and hon
.esty Of purpose and gave him that
final honor Of their support which
must have made his heart glow with
toy even as it ceased to beat
"Mr. Hubbard was a fine lawyer, a
man of poetic instincts and literary at
%ainments. who could not find in his
nature to be either a pushing congress-
man or a forceful politician. He Won
In politics by his appeal to the best in
human nature. and convinced the peo-
pie that he was true TO them because
he was always true to himself. The
best that can be hoped from his dis
trict is that it will find a man to sue
coed him who will in some measure
follow in his footsteps"

AS TO STAMPEDES.
Davenport TiInes.l


Some of the newspapers are express
ing fears that an effort will be made
to stampede the Chicago convention.
One story has it that there is a plan
On foot whereby 10000 tickets are to
be given out by the national commit
tee in order to be sure to have shouters
for Taft. A Taft paper begins to be
alarmed about the possibility of
Roosevelt sympathizers slipping into
the convention in large numbers and
STAN peding the delegates for the gen.
tleman Of oyster Bay.
All Of this talk is idle.
Republican conventions are no.
stampeded by noise.
For proof it is necessary only to
point TO what happened four years ago
when 10000 spectators shouted them
selves hoarse for over half an hour
trying TO stampede the delegates for
otherwise and the delegates had come
up to Chicago instructed to vote for
Taft.
When the noise which Lodge started
with his speech about the best hated
and worst loved man. had subsidized.
the roll was called and those delegates
voted like clockwork, without any
emotion, doing what they had been
sent there to do.
No, there is no danger Of stampede
at Chicago.
If the unexpected happens it will not
be because of noise, but because Of
delibera tons by state caucuses in the
seclusion of their several headquar-
tiers.
Who occupies the galleries will not
make any difference with the result
and the squabble over tickets is fool
ish in SO far as it is presumed to have
anything to do with who will be nom
mated.

A DISEASE TALK.

LES -IOiilSS Ne"S.J
1T is the status of the agricultural
element of a nation which in the end
determines that OF ali Others"
So writes John w. Bookwalter, the
nonresident owner of 10000 acres OF
farm land titled by tenants
In this case the disease speaks with
reference to its own cure.
Mr.. Bookwalter many years ago
bought in Nebraska all this kingly do
main the tenants of which work early
and late and share with him the pro-
ceeds Of their toll. Some $50 to 400
families, comprising perhaps 1000 peo-
pie, labor for Mr. Bookwaiter, giving
him the means by which. year after
year. he travels ever the world with
a valet, a secretary, and library Of
several hundred voluInes-an income
absolutely unearned.
Mr.. Bookwalter is not to blame. He
is fine old gentleman most highly re-
spected by all who know him He does
what few landlords do-he tries to
think about the disease which he him
self is. If he does not see himself as ne
really is, DO not blame him. His ten
ants do not. either. The people gener
ally do not. But the menace of UNI

into the public thought, and when it
has advanced a little more into the
light it will have 10 be reckoned with
in city and country.
Landlords who seek truth may well
copy Mr.. Bookwalter. and think abou,
this matter. They will see that where
1000 people live en- farms in Nebras-
ka. on Mr.. BookwaIter's lands. per-
haps 10000 might live II lands were
owned by those only who work or use
them They viii see that the system
which makes Mr.. Bookwalter possible
is responsible for the falling off in Ne
braska's population. or it's failure to
grow. by from 1000 to 5000 rural
dwellers. And they will see that the
same influences operate everywhere,
and are in large measure responsible
for the "overurbanization' which Mr..
Bookwalter views with such justifable
concern.
Gilbert K. Chesterton, in a scathing
poem addressed to Hon. Walter Long,
one of England's landlords. said that
if he were in Longs place he would
sit tight"
