WANT GuDDEN TOUR HERE
Grand Forks Automobile Club Adopts
Active Steps in Bringing Event
to This District.

Grand Forks automobile owners
are keen over the question of securing
the Glidden tour for this seton OF
the northwest. and at the meeting OF
the Grand Forks Automobile club
Thursday evening President F. H.
Haverland was authorized to appoint
a representative to attend the meet
ing which will be held in the twin
cities soon when the route will be
determined. =
The Grand Forks automobile men
are working with the auto clubs of
several other cities in the northwest.
the purpose being to attract the at
tention of the Glidden managers to
this district.
In the operation Of the Minnesota
Automobile clubs tour through the
states OF Minnesota. North Dakota
and into Montana. the attention of
the automobile men to this section
was. attracted, and was directly re-
sponsible for the agitation to bring
the Glidden here.
A committee was also named for
the purpose of comforting with the
Glidden tour management on general
propositions. This committee is com
posed of w. \. Collins, w. l.. Wilder
and Or. L. l.. Eckman.

LOADING PLATFORMS
As SOLUTION Of
PROBLEM
Traction Men and Council
Committee Delegate AID
erman to Probe.

Loading platforms We're suggested
as the solution Of the traction ma
chine problem in this city. and 1t was
|! probably the most satisfactory to all
concerned at the meeting held by the
special committee of the city council
and the traction machine men on
Thursday afternoon.
Ways and means of abolishing the
traction machine traffic in the paved
streets OF the city We're discussed and
many opinions and ideas were VEN
tured. City Engineer Lykken sug-
gested that a special rim be provided
Tor the wheels of the heavy machines
to prevent the Tugs from cutting into
the pavement.
alderman Slisbury was delegated to
visit Fargo to learn what the traction
men in that city are doing. He left
this morning for Fargo and will re-
port at the next meeting of the city
| council.
Stop Exhibition Work.
From what members of the city
council have to say in regard to the
matter it is believed that an ordinance
will be introduced some time in the
near future in which one of the fca-
lures will be the elimination of all
exhibition work on the streets of the
city. Much of this a been done in
the past. but it will be stopped in
the future. said the city engineer this
morning.
The city engineer. in speaking of
the loading platform suggestion, said:
With all exhibition work on the
streets abolished and loadi- plat
forms built by the various companies,
there will be little need for running
the machines over the pavements.
Any of the traction engines will split
the creosoted blocks on the streets
which have that class of paving. caus-
ing the blocks to rot. All of the COM
position pavings of the city show the
signs of having been cut by the Tugs
on the wheels of the heavy ma
chimes"
There would be little difficulty in
the various companies securing load
ding platforms for, with one eXcep-
ton. no new railroad racks would
have to be laid. That exception would
be the construction of a spur track
across Eighth street and would be
necessary to provide loading platform
facilities for the Rumely and Minnc-
apolis %threshing machine companies.
"A loading platform that could be
used jointly by the Duis, Avery. and
Stinson agencies could he constructed
In the rear of the Avery building, and
no new trackage would be necessary.
The Advance Manufacturing company
agency has tracks at the present time
and is the only company in the city
wit ha loading platform. While the
Case company, located as they are,
adjoining the railroad yards Of the
Great Northern would be called upon
to expend but little to erect a plat
FORM"
City Engineer Lykken also stated
that the few engines over the street,
which might be driven in here for re-
pairs or en- route % the farming COM
inunities would not materially injure
the paving, or at least would not cre-
ate the havoc that machines running
e a soft pavement on a hot sum
mer's day would do. when the streets
were Used. not. once but many times.

TAFT's EXCELLENT RECORD.

One OF the arguments advanced
against the reelection Of President
Taft has been hat he fails to strike
the popular imagination" or that he
does not create popular enthusiasm"
Happily for his cause-or for the
cause Of stability of government--the
president is rapidly gaining something
more important than popular enthusi-
srn-o whatever merit there may be
in touching the popular imagination.
1t is evident that large numbers of
men, entire sections of the country,
are realizing more clearly that he is
q dependable man-that his methods
of thought and his courses of action
are those which make for stability, for
equity, FIR the prevalence Of common
sense and justice. The conviction is
growing that this means more than the
mere ch~arlatanry or spectacularity
which evoke quick enthusiasms-and
leave a permanent sense of the inutil-
ity Of torchlight professions and pas
sionate ~partisanship.

of sober endeavor. Failure to achieve
certain ends has always been due to
partisan opposition. The White
House, when he entered it, was a
stormy place between the devil and the
deep sea. His political enemies were
delighted because of the towering diff
ificulties which lay before him. He
has been putting these difficulties
aside. He has succeeded in creating
"a clear line of cleavage in republican
thought. The obstructive forces have
rbeen chased out into the open. There
as now a determined republican party
with definite ramiications-and thit
there was not on the day he went int
Office. He is planning definite pro.
grammes, and 1t seems. highly proba,
Bile that he will be able to enforct
them. A truly progressive spirit un.
derlies them. He represents the NEAR
between two extremes which threaten
cd to annul the best work of the gov
eminent forces. The presidents rec
ord speaks for itself. It is beginning

track. At the point where the acct
dent occurred there is an exceptionally
sharp curve in the track and 1t is to
this fact alone that the accident is
due. Of course, the train crew could
not see the motor a approaching
and Mr.. Gram did not hear the train
In time to get his car off the track;
in fact, had he abandoned his car he
could have saved himself. but in try
ing to get it off the track the car
was struck by the engine Of the ap-
preaching train and demolished. 1t
seems that the motor car was knocked
cornerwise by the engine and it was
this that struck Mr.. Gram, breaking
both legs and three ribs. He was i'm
mediately picked up by the local crew
and taken to the hospital at Beach,
where the broken bones were set and
it is reported that he Is getting along
as well as can be expected. In ad-
dition to the broken bones he was cut
and bruised considerably. No blame
is attached to the train crew, as they,
OF course, were mo- supposed to be
looking out for accidents of this kind.
