Still another evidence Of Repub-
lican prosperity and President Taft's
sincerity In endeavoring to benefit

clerks in the railway mail service be
classified and given an increase In
wages. There are 1900 clerks In

WAITING TO SHIP
WOOL TO THE y. 5.
Australian sheep RaIsers Ansieus fer
Democratic Vie
tory.

From the GLASGOW. Mont, Independent.
The Hon. James Bryce, British am
bassador to the United States, has
been in Australia this summer, and in
a recent speech at Melbourne he cheer
ed tho hearts of the Australian wool
growers by telling that there was pros
pect of an early reduction in the
American wool tariff. This, he pre-
dicted, would mean large increase in
the wool experts from Australia to
the United States.
The ambassador Is right. That Is
just what will happen If the wool tariff
is lowered, and the Montana sheep
men know, because they remember
what happened in 1894 when wool
wasn't worth anything and when sheep
were worth even less. When the Dem
ecratie members Of the ways and
means committee Of the house, In the
recent session Of congress. presented
their wool bill for consideration, they
claimed that it would increase the i'm
ports Of wool into America by $780,
100000 pounds.
But there can be no increase In the
consumption of wool and the Amer
lean grower IL wondering what would
become of 1sO.OOO.OOO pounds of bis
wool under the Democratic tariff laws.
Nearly 3O,O0O,OO9 of that 10000, 900 Is
grown right here in Montana IT is no
wonder that England is urging the
of Democratic congress and
that London looks with favor upon the
candidacy of Woodrow Wilson.

mr. hooseveIus explanation is ua-
worthy of consideration for two rea-
sons. In the first place, man In
his position from whom advice and
suggestion had been sought by the
president of the United States ought
not to admit having hastily endorsed
reciprocity without knowing what he
was doing. AS matter Of fact, Mr..
Rooseyelt's letters and speeches
above quoted are exactly In line with
his record.
More than this, Mr.. Rooseyelt's ex-
PLANTATION is an insult to the intelii-
gent voter because In his letter to
President Taft he says, II firmly be-
lieve in free trade with Canada"
This is going farther than President
Taft ever went, because Mr.. Taft's
idea of reciprocity was to obtain val
liable consideration in return for con-
cessions granted. Rooseyelt's free
trade proposition II enacted int Law
would break down all the barriers
between Canada and the United
States and would cause tremendous
financial loss to American farmers.
The fact Is that Mr.. Roosevelt was
heartily in favor of reciprocity and
of free trade with Canada until he
made his tour of the west before the
Republican national convention, when
he found that reciprocity was unpop-
ular. Then he shifted. His pres
ent attitude demonstrates his utter
insincerity and shows that he is ready
to do anything to catch votes. He
is ready to endorse anything that he
believes Is popular and to condemn
that which he thinks is unpopular
without regard to his own convictions
or wise governmental policies. The |
manner in which he has suddenly re-
versed himself in the hope that by |
so doing he would gain few votes is
an example Of demagogism thorough
ly typical Of his character.
1t is also important to remember
that II Democratic president should
be elected reciprocity with Canada
would soon be an accomplished fact.
Inasmuch as the Democrats In the
house Of representatives voted for 1t
and also voted against repeating the
law which had been passed Demo
cratic reciprocity is the kind that
The Canadian newspapers are hoping
will secure, because It will
mean that Canada will get everything
rom the United States and give moth
ng in return.

ROOSEVELT AND
RECIPROCITY ISSUE
iNSINCERfTY AND DEMAGoQl9M
OF THIRD TERM CAN
DiDATE SHOWN.
WHY He SHIFTED POSITION
He Not Only Favored Reciprocity but
Wrote President Taft That He
Firmly Believed In FREQ Trade
With Canada.

Although reciprocity is now dead
issue, it is worth while. for the en-
lightenment of those who oppose
President Taft for his endorsement
II reciprocity, to recall the position
taken by Colonel Roosevelt upon that
question. Mr.. Roosevelt favors free
trade with Canada and was an ardent
advocate and supporter OF reciprocity
until he found that its endorsement
would not help him In his third term
race.
President Taft, while he WAS con-
sidering the question Of reciprocity,
naturally consulted with ex-President
Roosevelt. He knew that Mr.. Roose-
welt had been president, that he was
familiar with the subject and that he
was, at that time, 9 good and loyal
Republican. When, In the course OF
a lengthy letter, he asked Mr.. Rooss-
veit's advice, he reviewed both sides
OF the matter In impartial fashion.
Mr.. Rooseveit's reply was not only q
full endorsement but hs went 50 far
as to advocate absolute free trade
with Canada Mr.. Roosevelt wrote
as follows:
for FREQ Trade With Canada.
New York, Jan. IL. 1911.
Dear Mr.. President:
,
It seems to me that what you pre-
pose to do with Canada Ia admirable
from every standpoint. ! firmly be-
Iieve In free trade with Canada for
both economic and political reasons.
As you say, labor cost Is substantially
he same In the two countries, 80
hat you are amply justified by the
platform. Whether Canada will 40
sept such reciprocity / do not know, |
,ut II Is greatly to your credit to
make the effort.
Ever yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Not only in his letter to President |
Taft, but also in speeches Mr.. Roose-
-elt endorsed reciprocity. At Grand
aapids, Mich. on February IL, 1911,
Ie said:
Here. friends, In Michigan, right
n the northern frontier, l have the !
eculiar right to say word Of con-
rdtulatlOn 10 you ana TO all OF us
pom the likelihood that we shall soon
ave closer reciprocal tariff and trade
Citations with the great nation to the
orth of u.s."
And In a speech before the Repub-
can club of New York city, deliy-
red on February 10, 1911, Mr.. Roose-
cit gave emphatic endorsement of
resident Taft and reciprocity In the
words:
II want to say how glad | am at
,e way in which the members of the
ub here tonight responded to the
70 appeals made to them to uphold
lie hands of President Taft, both In
IS effort to secure reciprocity with
anada and in his effort to secure
Ie fertilization Of the Panama canal"
Explanation Does Not Explain.
In the face Of this record Mr.. Roose-
1T now explains his antagonism to
ciprocity by saying that he did not
lily understand the proposition and
misrepresentation

President Taft's plsnlfl.d Attitude.
From the Quincy Gid WhiR.

President Taft has old-fashioned
but nevertheless admirable ideas. re-
garding the dignity of his official sta.
ton. He believes that 1t Ill bef,ts
the incumbent Of the high office he
occupies to take the stump and argue
with the people that they should re.
elect him. The record of his admin
istration is an open book, and II that
record does not commend him to the
favor of the country he will not go
forth and importune voters to give
him another term. The presidents at
titude Is an admirable one.

Idea Of Comfort Has Been
Carefully Observed in the
New Models.

Comfort is a predominating feature
in the new Overland models. Many
refinements that make for comfort and
easy riding qualities have been en-
bodied in John n. WHY'S new over
lands
In Model 90. the 3O-horsepower, five
passenger car, the wheelbase has been
heightened to ito inches, the tonneau
and general body specifications have
been enlarged in length and depth, and
other features added which must ap.
peal to buyers of this type of car.
There is additional leg room for pas
sengers riding in either the front or
back seats and the additional height
from the seat cushions to the top of the
body sides means a better arm rest.
The fore part of the body has been
rearranged so that the operator can
drive all day without being cramped for
room. The back of the seats are high
enough to eliminate any back fatigue
and the seats are so arranged that one
may operate brake, clutch and speed
levers without bending forward; in
fact Overlands for next season can
APPLY be termed the Anti fatigue car"

OAKLAND BRANCH
FOR LOUISIANA
Atlanta Branch Manager Smith
Receives Royal Welcome in
New Orleans.

Oakland owners. actual and prospect
i've, in this city, will soon be in a po
sition to laugh at any of the major
or minor ills happening to their auto
mobiles, for be it known that within the
next ten days, if not sooner there will
be branch Of the Oakland factory es-
contingencies, and at the same time to
push the sale of this car. already popu-
lar in this section. SO says Leslie f.
Smith, manager of the Atlanta branch,
who is visiting the principal cities in
the South included in his territory, with
the view of establishing a complete
chain of Oakland branches throughout
ten states
Mr. Smith only arrived yesterday
morning and in a few hours consum-
mated a deal with Emilien Perrien for
the brick building, 745 Baronne street,
which is to be remodeled to suit the
needs of a complete automobile sales
and repair establishment.
GIVE the owners service" said Mr..
Smith yesterday, lis our great watch
word. and to that end, instead of hav-
agencies we have branches, thereby
putting. the owner in direct touch with
the factory. In that way we are sure
that the right treatment will be &C
corded everyone through the personal
interest we have in the ear even after
it leaves our hands. 1t will be our
business to watch and care for it and
have such facilities as will enable us
to replace any part without delay. In
fact, we will attend to all matters Of
adjustment or such things free of
charge"
The local branch will be in charge
of w. c. Gray as manager. Mr.. Gray
is practical automobiles and, like Mr.
Smith, graduated from the factory and
is an expert in every detail of the
Oakland mechanism. OF the car, Mr.
Smith said it needed no introduction in
this city. having already an establish
cd reputation for its many good points
of merit. The silent" feature of its
motor is one Of it's great attractions,
aside from its other qualities. which has
made 1t a favorite. Mr.. Smith said
that the advance orders have come in
with such a rush that the factory has
already nearly $4,000 cars of the 1913
model booked. However, they will be
able to fill orders without delay and
guarantee prompt shipment. Oaklands
range in price from 81 900 to $4,000.
Mr. Smith is enthusiastic over New
Orleans and predicts a wonderful bust
ness year in all lines. He is charmed
with his reception here and will leave
with the most pleasant of recollections
of New Orleans hospitality. Without
being too optimistic, he predicts a Won
derful business year, not only in the
automobile, but in other lines. He says
he has kept in touch with the good
roads movement and does not doubt
that in few years New Orleans viii
get into place with other big cities and
take the position rightfully due 1t in
the automobile industry.
Mr. Smith leaves today, stopping at
Birmingham to visit the branch there

HOPKINS BOOSTS
ATLANTA'S SHOW
Popular Atlanta Overland Rep
reSentative Is Enthusiastic
Over Exposition.

Most every one in and around At
lanta, both those interested in auto
mobiles and Others are talking "Au-
tomobile Show" at present, but for real,
red blood enthusiasm that radiates
from every pore, Lindsay Hopkins the
Atlanta Overland dealer, probably tops
the list at present.
Lindsay is an old Atlanta citizen.
besides being one Of the pioneer auto
mobile men Of the industry, and has
always shown a marked desire to boost
Atlantas motor car industry. Speak
ing of the show and the show plans he
SAYS:
Just as I have always sold Overland
cars, so have l always tried to do my
share of promoting any proposition that
works for the good of Atlanta. The
coming show dated for the middle O.
November is, in my opinion, one of the
greatest events of the Gate City's Won
derful history.
How Show Helps Atlanta.
Much has been said lately of the
good results Atlanta will derive from
this exhibition of motor cars. but
wonder if the vast majority of our
good people realize this to its fullest
extent. Not only will this show, if it
proves the big success we plan, bring
more industries to our city and enlarge
the scope of those already here, but it
will firmly establish Atlanta as the
automobile headquarters of the South
ern states. Just think what that real
ly means.
Il am in position to know that the
large automobile manufacturing inter
ests count the southern states as one
Of the greatest producing sections Of
the country. Now, this business is
going out of the South, and it is up
to us to see that the greatest possible
majority of this business comes
through Atlanta channels, and not
some other city. The eyes Of the mo-
tor world are on Atlanta in this prof.
ect. and that old Atlanta spirit that
has turned so many seeming failures
into wonderful successes viii come to
the front and make the Atlanta Auto
mobile show the greatest triumph ever
Plans Are Magnificent
1.-THE plans outlined by the associa-
ton and the show committee have
never been excelled, seldom equaled.
To the successful completion of these
plans we are working night and day
and all that is asked Is the co-opera-
tive boosting Of all loyal Atlantans.
THE show will be the first of the
big ones. coming ahead Of New York
and Chicago. No other dealers exhibit
in the entire country will compare with
1t. Creatore's or Sousa's band will be
engaged. a great drawing card itself
at will be a comprehensive show in
every particular The decorations are
the most beautiful that money can pro-
cure. Nearly every model of all types
of American cars will be shown, to-
gether with up-to date accessories. All
the new 1913 models can be seen in
both pleasure cars and commercial We
hicles. I am told that at least one
concern will show motor fire appara-
tus. This has never before been seen
at a Southern show.
1T is we'll worth any Atlantan's time
to help make this great event. 1t
is well worth any Southerner's time
or money to visit the show, have a good
time, get educated and see Atlanta

a recent refinement in bulh-horn con-
struction that has been introduced abroad
is the substitution of a metallic cup for
the lower half of the ordinary bulb, the
flexible part of the bulb thus being con-
fined to the upper and hemispherical part.
The device is intended not only to econ
omize rubber, but to improve the action
of the bulb, since the horn may be blown
to its full capacity merely by pressing
down on the top of the upper part 1t
is said to outwear two ordinary bulbs.
