MOTORISTS WIN
LEGAL VICTORY
Supreme Court Holds Towns
Responsible for Damages
Caused by Distractions.

Another Supreme Court, this time
in the Keystone State, has decided
that townships, municipalities. coun-
ties or states maintaining water bars
in public highways r responsible to
sutomobilists or their cars. caused
by contact with these unnecessary
distractions.
This is a sweeping victory for mo-
toIists, as it is believed there is not
the slightest doubt about other states,
as well as United States courts, sus-
taining the Pennsylvania decision. 1t
is indirect line with the opinion of
the corporation counsel of the city of
New York, who recently notified
Mayor Gaynor that the city could be
held for damages aused through an
order of the park commissioners in
directing motorists over a given
portion of highway, to-wit, Coney
Island boulevard between Kings
highway and Twenty-second street.
The Mayor at once directed the COM
missioners to rescind their order.
To Make Test Case.
The Touring Club of America has
been urging a test case such as has
just been decided in Pennsylvania,
ard the club now proposes that an
should be brought against the
toll road companies in New England
with a view to showing that if in ac-
cordance with the precedent estab-
lished by the courts regarding water
bars in public highways the local gov
can be held for damages,
il is also true that companies oper-
ating toll roads can likewise be held
for damages caused to cars and mo-
florists through water bars on these
private roads.
The same action would apply to
owners of large estates who have,
and opened. in return for the privi-
lege. roads through their property at
the same time attempting to prevent
fest driving by introducing danger
Gus water bars.
Club Would Remove Obstacles.
In many cases obstinate owners
have refused the clubs representa-
tives permission to remove trees Ut
bushes and afterward serious acct
dents have occurred at the ross
ings where permission was denied to
make them safe without the slight
csi expense to the property owners.
It will be greatly to the interest of
property on whose estates
these dangerous distractions appear
to either remove them Immediately
or give the touring clubs representa-
tives permission to do so.

THOMPSON HEADS ASSN IN
MOTORDROME PLAN HERE
Thoroughly Familiar with
Methods of Auto Racing.

Announcement is made at the of1ces
of the Metropolitan Motor Speedway
Association in the L. S. Tire building.
New York, that Jefferson De Mont
Thompson has been elected president
of the association, which is building
the new two-mile motordrome on the
Newark meadows, neal Newark.
Mr.. Thompson, who has been in
terested in the proposition of building
a motordrome for some months, IS
beyond all doubt a wise choice to be
placed at the helm of the new enter
prise, for he is thoroughly familiar
with automobile racing and its his
tory. He has always been connect
ed with 1t in its sporting side, how
ever. and not the commercial. In
staging the early Vanderbilt Cup
races his influence was a big asset
and during 1906-'07-'0S. he was chair
man of the Vanderbilt Cup Commits
sion. Much of the heavy work, ar
ranging the 1906 and 1908 Cup races
fell Upon his shoulders. For several
years he was chairman of the Amer
lean Automobile Association Racing
Board and was on the original plan
and scope committee of the Long
Island Motor Parkway. of which he
was treasurer and a director.
Cooperating with General Manager
and Vice-President A. r. Parding-
ton, Fred j. Wagner and their asso-
ciates, Mr.. Thompson possessing such
broad knowledge of the sport, will be
of immense value to the association
and his influence will insure racing
of the highest class. His extensive
European connections will be of big
assistance in drawing the star foreign
pilots and fastest European machines
to this country for the opening meet
at the Speedway on July A, 1913.

Announcing The Marmon Six

In announcing the Marmon Six we will say
that so far as any test can be applied it is a
proven cara car that will live up to the repu-
tation of the Marmon name.
During the years the Marmon Six has been
under development and test-in the shop, in
road service and in many of the worlds riost
important races-we believe we have overlooked
nothing that would add to the quality and capa-
biity of the car or that would enhance the
safety, the comfort or the convenience of its
user.
Its mechanical superiority and durability,
its even balance, its ease on tires, the efficiency
Of its fabrication, its power and smoothness of
operation, have been proven by such tests as the
winning of the 200-mile Wheeler-Scheble Con-
test on May 30, 1910, and the First 50o-Mile
International Sweepstakes race, May 80, 1911.
In these contests a Marmonl Six was pitted
against the largest and most representative
field of European and American cars ever en-
tered in any race, and in both events the Mar
mon won.
Among its many new and exclusive features
is the fabrication by means of the Marn1on
system of automobile force feed, delivering oil
not only through the hollow crank shaft, tut
also to the cam shaft bearings through hollow

ENFoRcEs SPEED LAW

Another Jersey coast resort is
rigidly enforcing the speed law. The
chief of police of Belmar is arrest
ing all automobilists exceeding a
speed of twelve miles per hour. Ac-
cording to the touring department of
the Automobile Club of America, he
is generally located in front of the
Belmar Pavilion. on Ocean avenue

New Jerseys famous shore boule-
ward.

AUTO CO. REPRESENTATIVE
GOES TO PACIFIC COAST

NJ. A. Weissenburger. who for the
last year and a half has been travel
ing in the New England States and
the territory adjacent to New YofT
city, has been transferred by the
Regal. Motor Car Company to the
Pacific coast.
The move Is a distinct recognition
on the part of the Regal Company of
the Importance of the Western terri
tory as a market for automobiles.

cam shafts. The front axle is another new and
distinctive feature first introduced with this
model. The vertical spindle is placed directly
in the centre line of the wheel, making the
surest, safest and easiest steering mechanism
ever devised. 1t permits this car with l45-inch
wheel base to be turned in a ~forty-foot street.
Other original and effective mechanical i'm
provements are incorporated-every one of
which has been tried and proven up TO the
Marmon standard of excellence.
The thorough equipment leaves nothing to
be desired in the way of convenience for the
motorist. 1t includes a cape top, new type wind
shield, self-starter and dynamo electric lighting
system, electric horn, s~peedster with clock,
shock disorders front and rear, power tire pump,
tire carrier, extra demountable rim, coat rail,
foot rest and tool equipment.
The bodies with their graceful, symmetrical
lines, their deep and luxurious uphoistering
and the many reinements, added to the strength
of the Marmon perfected cast aluminium con-
s~truction, are the best examples of the art OF
body design and building. There are seven,
five, four and two-passenger types-the price,
I. o. b. factory, Indianapolis, is $4,000 with full
equipment. Limousine, $6,250; Landaulet,
sc. $50.

Floyd Allen contributed to the press
of the world a rafting good adver-
tisement of Virginia real estate, for
states which convict their criminals
are good states in which to build
homes Of course nobody should be
electrocuted or hanged as an adver-
tisement of real eState-yet it is
true that civilized people prefer to
live where they can have the protec-
ton of the law-Superior Telegram.
People are just as we'll protected
in states where capital punishment
does not exist as where the electric
chair or hanging are in vogue Muir
der is less common in Wisconsin than
in many states where one murder is
punished by another The ends Of
Justice are just as well conserved
where a convicted slayer is placed
where society is protected from him
and where, when an innocent man
is convicted, as sometimes occurs,
there is a chance to rectify the mis-
take. in some measure at least Cap
ital punishment is relic of bar
barism.

That this is a nation of law-break-
ers. as a result of the mad struggle
for power and material success, was
the declaration of Superior pastor
in his Memorial Sunday sermon.
There is much of truth in that state
ment. A great majority OF Amer
lean children are brought up with
little conception of respect for law.
Liberty has been confused with def
ance of authority Law-breaking is
too often condoned. Lawlessness is
more rampant in the United States
than in any other civilized nation.
is the remedy? Rigid enforcement
Murder is far more common and too
frequently goes unpublished. What
is the remedy? Rigid enforcement OF
all laws. If a law is obnoxious, let
it be repealed The man who defies
law is an enemy of society.

SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS

What reason is there in spending
| tens of thousands of dollars each
year in keeping men and boys from
becoming criminals and at the same
time maintaining in every block a
crime producing institution working
every hour in the day and every day
in the week?
Where is the logic in building and
maintaining institutions to restore
criminals to decent manhood and at
the same time permitting thousands
of saloons to continue the work of
making criminals out of decent men?
Where is the wisdom of building
our great educational institutions for
training the heart, brain and hands
of our young men and at the same
time allowing the saloon to exist; an
institution which in every way unfits
these young men for the work for
which they are trained?
Is it not folly to give SO much of
our time and money to lift the stan
dard of citizenship and at the same
time by our votes or by our indiffer-
ence permit saloons to openly, pub
licly, persistently and perniciously
work to lower this standard?
This is the way the Congregational
and Christian World puts it:
1T is not chiefly that the saloon
is a political evil, not chiefly that
drunkenness is abhorrent, not chiefly
that it interferes with work and
business, not altogether that
it makes so much misery for SO
many, but that at last we are seeing
that the saloon and intemperance
are enemies of souls that have in
finite worth, and the destroyer of
bodies that have cost much care.
We are at last seeing how utterly
illogical, even imbecile, it is to
spend thousands of dollars on schools
and churches to produce fine souls,
and thousands of dollars on sanitary
cities and streets and houses and
safeguards to grow healthy young

Items from the Budget of this week in 1902

The Auburn Times, in a recent is
sue, pitched into the papers of Gates
county, claiming they were biased
in describing the many advantages
that county has for intending settlers.
SO far as this paper is concerned it
has never said anything derogatory
to other counties, merely describing
the advantages presented by Gates
county for homes. The Budget sup
posed the many excellent papers pub
lished in Chippewa county were fully
able to take care of it's interests
without calling for outside help.
