SEEMS QUEER

On Sunday, October 13, there were
5000 Socialist meetings in this coun
try. Why meet on Sunday? The So
cialist party is a political party only
as a means to an end. 1t is much
more; it is an economic party to see
that the workers get justice and all
they create.
The capitalists do not hesitate to
employ men on Sundays to run their
trains, street cars, etc., and the
workers cannot take a day off to
rest from the so-called week days
without, in many instances, losing
their jobs and are compelled to use
Sunday for their meetings, while the
capitalists go joy, riding.
4 The means justifies the end. 'Tis
more than pulling the OK out of the
ditch; it is pulling millions of hui
man beings out of the slough of de-
spond, giving them new hopes, and
a square deal in all things. It is
therefore a moral force second to
no organization in existence today.
1t will give to all children the OPP
portunity to get a college education;
therefore it is greater than any in
stitutfon of learning.
1t will make the living of a life de-
scribed by the Nazarene a possibility,
hence it will do more than any church
is doing today. Then why not rest
on Sunday? Ea

Omcious Little Officials.

A railroad attorney. travelling on a

ductor to file telegram at an approach
ing station, and was CURLY advised to
attend to his own business. AS the train
came to stop he sought to leave the
car. but found the vestibule doors locked
it was too late for him to accomplish
his desired purpose and an important con-
nectiOn was missed. Meeting the con-
ductor, he informed him of his status
with the road and roundly rated the man
for his surliness:
why didn't you tell me who you
were?" was the reply. II would gladly

insulted and inconvenienced by minor
employees who Overestimate the extent OF
their authority. All men who pay ar

The used car problem is a proposition
which is bothering not only the dealers

in the United States. In New York city
the matter is just now receiving serious
attention II, as it is claimed, 100000

the-dealers will be unable to handle the
situation and II will then be put sQuarely
up to the manufacturer.
In a statement issued few days ago
by the Automobile Dealers Association of
New York it said:
In the last few years a situation
has arisen among the dealers in auto
mobiles which has assumed an enor-
mouse growth. that is. the taking in trade
of secondhand cars as part payment for
new ones. This situation is caused
primarily by two conditions: First, the
enormous output of certain manufacture
ers, and second, the desire of the dealer
TO retain his old customers. The customer
who has an old car to trade in. realizing
this latter condition, usually works upon

tain.
But the automobile can smash a ira
dition just as easy as a fence or a tele-

universal grasp of modern progress is
the fact that motor cars are already
being adopted by the clergy even in the

Costs Seven Cents Per Mile.

The total average cost Of operation and
maintenance Of gasoline machines ranges
from about $3.50 per day for a one-ton
truck to $3.50 a day for ten-ton truck.
The average for electric vehicles is APP
proximately two-thirds Of these figures,
but their mileage is proportionately less
1t costs little more than $3.50 a day to
keep and use a one-horse outfit. and 50 50
a day for a two-horse team, but a horse
or team cannot average more than fifteen
miles a day. against from fifty miles for
a five-ton motor truck to 100 or more for
a one-ton truck
The actual cost per ton mile OF hauling
with horses in the city is from IA to IS
cents with double team, and from %
to 35 cents with single horse. The cost
per ton-mile with motor trucks all items
of overhead expense included, is from
about cents for a fye-ton truck to H.
cents for a. one-ton truck. In department.
store work with electric vehicles the
cost of delivery varies from about 4
cents to 10 cents per package.
The lower cost of doing work with
power wagons is, however, only one OF
the principal advantages realized from
their use. Their increased speed and
mileage capabilities enable a store to
reach out into new territory too far to
be served by horse delivery and to gain
new customers by the quicker service.
They are more dependable and regular
than horses in bad winter weather and
during the midsummer season.
