PEDDLER WHO LEADS AN ARMY

Should the rebellion inaugurRted by
Emiliano Zapata result in the over
throw of the Madero government,
there would be added to Mexico's his
tory a chapter that is unique in this
country.
Previous revolutions have received
their impetus from men of high intel
ngence and usually of culture. Ia
pata's most advanced point in the So
cial plane was that of an itinerant
merchant. a peddler. Officially his
name has been written on the rec
ords of his country, prior to the Ma
dero revolution, as that of a private

more entry, that recording his deser-
ton from the army.
Those unacquainted with Zapata
frequently make the mistake OF styl-
ing him an illiterate. That is not true.
He can read and write, and has the
rudiments of common school educa-
ton. Added to that, he possesses a
shrewdness which, combined with a

Good Roads.

There is one sids to the good-road
question which is a good thing, and
one which few farmers seem to think
of. and that Is the market side. WHY
does the price of farm butter and
eggs climb skyward in the towns
every spring? Because OF the short
supply These things pile up in the
homes OF farmers because they can
not get them to town. Good roads
would make an even market all the
year around and would add very large.

RECORD HISTORY OF INDIANS

The American Indian is approach
ling, if indeed he has not already
reached, the last stage of his native
existence. Recent reports from Sit
ka, of the rayages of pulmonary dis
eases among the Indians in Alaska,
where they are leading the lives led
by their fathers, indicate that the In
dian will disappear from the CONT
nent unless he adopts the white mans
civilization, and adapts himself to 1t.
In either case the records of his own
civilization will be lost unless the
government takes immediate steps
toward aiding the Modern Historic
Records association, or some other
body engaged in similar work in
preserving some records of the cul-
ture, arts, industries and domestic
and social organizations, the customs,
games and pastimes, work and play
of the primitive settlers of America.

Indian fighters, army officers and
scientists are. securing valuable vol

WHAT AN UPSETTING of prices the arrival
of the Flanders "4' Motorcycle has occasioned.
Why, the other makers seem, to be in a panic.
IT'S FUNNY, TOO, when you recall the unkind
y things they said about the Flanders q when
we first advertised it and stated the price.
Of COURSE THEY SAID a frst7class four
. horsepower motorcycle could not be made Tor
$175,T even with battery ignition. And a mag

WIsHW WE COULD print all the things
thew said in their frantic efforts to discredit the
Flanders "4'' and justify their own prices

machines of same power and less quality.
,,oU WILL REMEMBER they all said the
only way it could be done was to make the
machine out of poor materials and throw them
together. They not only admitted, they pro-
tested. thew could not duplicate the Flanders
90" at the price-or anywhere near it.
THAT WAS BEFORE we had begun to ship
Flanders sa4's', to our dealers and customers.
They felt safe in making such statements-for
though they knew in their hearts that TINS
concern could not afford to turn out a second
grade ~articleA-they had no idea what a sensa-
ton it was going to create.
50 THEY LAID TRAPS for thernselves-and
Z now we are driving them right into them.

they would have to use poor material and
poorer work in the making to meet the price

NOW IT, DOESN'T REALLY MATTER, but
= are we to assume that what they said was true
and that they are now making punk machines
to meet Flanders "4' in competition-or that
they told fbs about it? h~ " 81
FRANKLY WE DON'T BELIEVE they are
making them any worse-sone things are

justify US in building that many. ,
HERE'S A POINT YOU HADN'T NOTICED
perhaps: Other makers did not drop their
prices until we had actually begun to make
deliveries. Do you know why? There were
two reasons. +
FIRST: OUR AID CREATED a tremendous de-
mand which we were as yet unable to supply.
The other makers saw that and to
supply some of it at high prices. And they did.
Then they began to think it was going to con-
tinue.
SECOND: THEY HOPED that when this ma
chine did appear it would not be up to all our
claims-and would give them a new lease OF

The Western Union Telegraph Com

lines of the Western and Atlantic the
Georgia and the Central of Georgia rail-
roads following condemnation proceed
ings granted by the Fulton superior court.
came to a stop today when the supreme
court reversed Judge Bells decision on
the Western and Atlantic's appeal
The Fulton court had denied the rail
roads an injunction against the Western
Union, on the grounds that the n. c. and
ST. L.. as 1essees of the Western and At
antic, had waived its right to stop con
demnation through its contract with the
state
The supreme court held that the rail
road had the choice of routes over its
own right ofway, and, while the West
ern Union could erect telegraph lines. it
had failed to show good cause why il
should be allowed to condemn both sides
of the Western and Atlantic rght-of-
way.
The decision affects injunction suits
brought by the Georgia and the Central
