Colonel Roosevelt says that every
self-respecting, ordinary citizen should
be for him because all the crooks and
crooked business men are for the
other side. Is it not passing strange
what great changes man may un.
dergo? When Colonel Roosevelt was
a candidate before he was taking cam
paign contributions in large hunks
from concerns he now calls crooked
and was cheek by jowl with men
whom he is now constrained to
designate as crooks.

THE SPEED MANIAC
is A REAL MENACE.

That distinctly revolutionary type of
hilarious individual known as the
speed maniac, who became particularly
progressive with the advent of the au-
tomobile. now looms up as a special
menace to the motor-truck industry.
Experts, interested in the commercial
vehicle because of its economic possi-
bilities, declare hat the driver who
throws reason to the wind in the oper-
alton of a truck and hits UP too fast a
pace is unquestionably the most expen-
sive feature of truck maintenance.
Tire manufacturers, in particular, at
tack the speed maniac and his methods
They argue that speeding is by all
odds the most important of all the de-
teriorating influences to which tires are
subjected.
Commenting on this fact, a we'll
known tire man says: Beyond any
question of doubt the speed maniac is
a menace to the truck industry. Put
ting aside every other consideration
wear and tear on machinery, endan-
SeTlng the lives VI pSuSSittdiS ~ ~
lation of sane traffic rules-the speeder
is an undesirable party, for the reason
that he costs his employer a great deal
of unnecessary money.
1T makes no difference how we'll
tires are made, or to what extremes
the manufacturer goes to fortify them
against the incessant knocks of road
travel, they will not withstand the
abuses of the speed maniac. Speeding
is an evil that car result in but one
thing-decreased tire mileage and in
creased tire expense. and the particu-
lar1y aggravating feature of this is
thar it is a matter that cannot be
regulated unless a driver obeys in
structions and sends the truck along
at a moderate pace. Reliable drivers
do this. but there is always the other
fellow, who, as soon as he is out OF
of the boss, throws open the
throttle n burns up the road. Such
a man is decidedly expensive TO the
owner.
Demonstration has proved that al
average speed of twelve miles an
hour the life of a tire is about twice
what it is at an average speed of
miles an hour. Still higher
speeds reduce the life of the tire pro
po~rtionately. Therefore, it should not
any great amount of medita-
ton to determine the effect of con-
speeding upon an owner's tire
bills. Every manager of a motor sery-
ice should insist upon strict observance
of moderate speeds. Economical tire

CLUB ELECTION POSTPONED.

The Newark Motor Club did not hold
an election Monday night as was sched-
uled. When the officers read the by
laws it was found that the members
had not received the full five days
notice, and the election was put off
until April %.
The club members were addressed by
Joseph H. Wood, president of the AS
sociated Automobile Clubs of New Jer-
sey, who advised the autoists to get
busy on the good roads question, which
he said was the most important mat
ter since the victory for reciprocity had
beer won. Mr.. Wood said that the
clubs of the State could do great good
in helping to improve the condition of
the New Jersey roads and by lending
their aid would obliterate any feeling
of luminosity that may exist as a result
of the passage of the Stiekel automo-
bile bill.

AUTOISTS WILL
HAVE A POW=WOW.

New Jersey autoists have not stopped
rejoicing since Governor Wilson put his
name to the Stickel reciprocity bill last
Tuesday. In fact, the rejoicing has
reached such a stage that the Kruger
Auditorium or some other large build
ing will probably be secured for a
grand dinner and reception in honor
of the legislators and the motorists
who led in the fight. Assemblyman
Stickel will be presented with the gold
fountain pen with which the welcome
automobile bill was signed, while Sena-
tors Colgate and Edge, together with
the .other legislators, will be fttingly
remembered.
The autoists who are behind the big
idea have not forgotten the members
of their ranks who have been strug-
Cling with legislative matters for sew
eral years past and they too will re-
ceive the public thanks of the thank
full motorists. The arrangements 1or
the big pow-wow are general. The
members of the joint legislative COM
mittee selected by the motorists have
things in charge and are going to make
it the greatest thing that has been held
in motoring circles in a long while.
Governor Wilson signed the now ia
nous law promptly at 5 o'clock on
Tuesday. He did it with a special pen
purchased for thai specific purpose,
while the nix was dried by even a
special b1otter. The former Will De
formally handed to Assemblyman
Stic1zel at the coming banquet, while
the blotter found its way into the pos
session of Melville A. Carpenter and Is
one Of his priced possessions.
AS the Governor was getting a TO
sign the bill a forlorn Connecticut au-
toist had crossed the Delaware and
being escorted to the State House
by q policeman to secure a New Jersey
license. AS he entered h corridor
laid a hand on his shoulder
told him to wait until the reciproc-
ity bill became a law, and he left the
House with his Connecticut tag,
reached the northern borders of the
city only to be stopped by a
policeman, who was told the welcome
news.
Good thing" said the cop; II am
glad [ won't have to rubber any
more, for my neck is darn near broke"
the Connecticut autoist continued
the journey through the State, in
forming the police of the new Law.
There was scant opposition to the
signing of the bill When the hearing
was begun there was n lone man to
it, but he advised the Governor
sign it when he found he was the
only opponent. A few other opponents
struggled in later, blu they failed to
the Governor of any reason
for his veto.
