 The motors, themselves, have been highly improved this season. But the hetterment has been made along lines that do not admit of untech nical explanation. It is enough to say that a great stride has been made toward the perfection which will ultimately make motoring as safe and sure as walking.
 Lines have been cut down and shape revised. until now the cars all have that low speedy appearance of racers. There is the luxury idea inthat, Joo-for low hung body means comfortable riding. It is safer also, to ride at high speed in a car that is under hung. It is not only sticks closer to the road. bu: it Is rot so far to fall.

"BiiF' Stump Up to His Old Tricks

The following from the Park
ersburg Sentinel clearly shows
that William Stump, formerly of
this place, but now q resident of
Palestine, has never abandoned
his fondness for practical jokes.
"A story is told of an incident
alleged to have occu red at one
OF the hotels in the city on
Friday evening when couple of
travelling salesme introduced Will
liam big Bib Stump prominent
Democrat of Calhoun county, to
a member of the Republican
committee Of Richie county, as
DR.. Hatfield, the Republican can
didate for Governor.
While the introduction was in
the nature of a practical joke. the
Richie county committeeman was
evidently not well enough &C
quainted with the Republican
Gubernatorial candidate to distin-
guish the difference and it is al
legged that he suggested the fact
that by placing $1,000. in the
hands of a certain prominent Re-
publican the latter could swing
Richie county for Hatfield.
Stump carried out his part of
the joke in proper style and is al
legged to have informed the com.
mitteeman that if the latter
would call upon him in the morn
ing after the banks were opened
that he could probably arrange to
provide the necessary cash for
swinging Richie county into the
Republican column. The sugges-
ton has been made if this amount
were necessary to accomplish
such thing, how much would it
take to swing Texas into the Dem
ocratic column.

Newspapers Governed by New Law

Washington. Sept. &c. -Attor-
ney General Wickersham today
sent the postmaster general his
written opinion on certain phases
of the new federal law requiring
daily and weekly newspapers to
present to the postmaster general
semi-annual statements of circu-
lation. ownership, their stocks
and bonds and other information
under the penalty Of denial of
the use of the mails.
The attorney general upholds
the postmaster generals con-
struction that it is immaterial
whether the subscriptions are in
dividual or in bulk and that the
provision of the law covers the
number of copies of the publica-
ton distributed to certain paid
subscribers by any means.
Wickersham's opinion prepared
at the direction of Mr.. Taft, does
not touch upon the constitution
atty of the law which is a part
of the postoffice appropriation
bill enacted at the last session of
congress.
The attorney general holds
that ut is immaterial whether
or not subscriptions are individu-
al or in bulk. The statement
should include the average num-
Der of copies of each issue of
such publication sod or distribu-
ted to all persons who have sub
scribed. Second, in my opinion,
the provision covers the number
of copies of such publication dis
tributed to such paid subscribers
by any means. whether by mails
or otherwise"
Wickersham writes: THE
provision is highly penal in it's
nature as the consequence of the
failure to comply with it is pun
ishable by denying to the publ
cation the privilege of the
mails" Wickersham says:
Subscriptions are clearly
those who have by agreement un-
dertaken to receive and pay Tor
the publication for some specified
period Of time as distinguished
from casual purchasers who come
under no obligation to take and
pay for the publication in adj
vance of it's delivery" Hitch
cock said copies of forms which
publishers must fill out are being
mailed to one hundred and twen-
ty thousand editors.
