poetry and oratory have disappeared

A REMARKABLE FEAT.
The Studebaker Corporation Effected a
Reorganization Of Its Business In a
Single Week.

Single Week.
When the industrial history of the
twentieth century is finally written, its
most thrilling chapters will almost surely
be those that tell the story of the motor
CARTS sudden dash to popularity, its
marvellous manufacturing successes, and
it's costly tactical failures. So say men
learned in the lore of the business world.
Certain it is, at any rate, that no de-
partment of the worlds manufac curing
history has yet furnished so great an
amount of industrial romance.
News of the latest feat of this kind
comes, as one has learned to expect,
from Detroit. In one week, a firm manu-
featuring annually an output marketed at
$50, 100000, completely reorganized the eX-
ecutive personnel of its system of dis
tribution and then, with the new organ
izaton in charge, scored a sales success
during the first period, that eclipsed its
former records for similar period.
How this was done, without in the
least disturbing the progress of busy
selling season, is a story of vital inter-
est to every business man.
The firm is The Studebaker Corpora
ton whose mammoth automobile divis-
ion, manufacturing EMF 80" and
Flanders "2O" cars, maintains a round
dozen plants. The Studebakers market
their product through a system of 40
branch warehouses and service stations
in the main trading centers. Each of
these supplies cars direct to that part
of the 2200 Studebaker dealers in its ter
ritory. The branch managers make all
contracts and, to practical ends, each is
The Studebaker Corporation in his own
region.
A combination of circumstances made
it advisable, in the judgment of the
Studebaker management, to eliminate a
certain element in its sales department.
The change involved the sales manager,
his assistant and the managers of nearly
third of the firms branches.
To the automobile world the emergency
seemed unexpected. Such was, however,
far from the truth.
When Germany decided to go to war
with France, General Won Moltke took
from a certain pigeon hole in his desk
complete plan of campaign, drawn up
months before. When his emergency
came, General Manager Gum of The
Studebaker Corporation did virtually the
same thing.
An experienced sales manager, Ernest
r. Benson, was already in waiting. With
him, as assistant, came Arthur /. Phil
ip, also a man peculiarly fitted for his
work, For every branch in which
change was necessary, there was ready

The people of Kansas seem to be
wearying Of primaries, and one per-
ceives a reason when the secretary of
state of Kansas reckons up that this
year they will have to sort out and elect
ten state officers. three justices of the
supreme court. one United States SEN
ator, eight congressman, ten presidential
electors, forty state senat tors, 125 state
representatives and Is county officers.
Four parties will have candidates for
the state Offices there will be at least
three for each county position, and,
conceding that there are two candidates
for every place in the primaries, the
secretary estimates that 5000 men are
or have been circulating petitions. The
great number of these lis making the
people of the state tired" he says, and
he suggests that petitions be done away
with and candidates be required to pay
an entrance fee," ranging from $3.50
for a would-be governor or congressman
to $40 for a humber aspirant, But
would not this be a base concession to.
the spirit of plutocracy? Primaries be-
ing good things. let Kansas rather de-
wise a few thousand more and arrange
for the circulation of several million eX-
ira petitions. Then hail the happy day
when every Kansan shall be a candi-
date.-[Boston Transcript.
