New York, Dec. 1.-THE London

there is nothing very sensational about
it The mercantile agency week end

We assume that small market this
morning and Monday, pending the pos

BUSINESS ORGANIZATION
SHUTS OUT BEGINNERS
Wilson Says This Is the Defect
of Modern Conditions.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S,-Woodrow
Wilson says he would like to take
census of business men as to whether
they think the organization of busi-
ness in this country is satisfactory
or not.
He believes that "if they could vote
secretly they would vote oyerwhelm-
ingly that it was meant to shut out
beginners, to prevent new entries in
the race, to prevent the building up
Of competitive enterprise that would
Interfere with the great monopolies
which the great trusts have built up"
Above everything else, he says, the
country needs "a body of laws, which
will look after the men who are on
the make, rather than the men who
are already made. Because the men
who are already made are not going
to live indefinitely, and they are not
always kind enough to leave sons as
able and honest as they are"

The report declares that pelagic

Suspension of land killing" the re-
port says, can do only harm to the
herd and to the subsidiary life upon

MOTOR DELIVERY
WAGONS NEEDED
Recent Storm Proved Superior.
ity of Mechanical Power
Over Horses Efforts.

Outside Of all questions of eIesuli.
ness and speed the motor delivery
vehicle is the only vehicle for winter
weather conditions. and within few
years it is safe to predict that this
method of transportation will be uni
versally adopted by merchants and
express companies
One thing this weeks snowstorm
again demonstrated is that motor
trucks and delivery wagons are abb
solutely essential when the streets
are covered with ice and snow.
While the horse-drawn wagons
were blocked or struggling in the
drifts the day of the storm the elec-
trio and gasoline-propelled motor We
hicles were going about their work
as If nothing had happened. and as a
result most of the belated Christmas
shopping deliveries were made by
motor vehicles.
Not only this. but it was noticeable
that almost all of the street-car de-
lays were due to horse-drawn vehicles,
which, following the line of least re-
sistance. kept to the car tracks where
the snow ploughs and sWeepers had
removed the heaviest part of the
snow As result, all traffic, except
the motor trucks, which blazed a trail
of their own. had to follow.
Storms lire that of Tuesday COM
ing when delivery systems are al
ready oxertaxed, serve to turn atten-
tion more strongly toward the COM
ing motor truck show, to be held in
New York from January 20 to %.
Business men will be eager to inspect
the many new models of gasoline and
electric delivery wagons and trucks
to be displayed in Grand Central Pal
ace and Madison Square Garden by
about seventy leading manufacturers.
Light delivery wagons of $50 to
1000 pounds capacity will be offered
at prices as low as $3.50 or less, which
is no more than good team and
wagon costs.
