 Lecky. the English historian, says of Washington:
 l In civil as in military life Washing ton was pre- eminent among his con tempOraries for the clearness and soundness of his judgment. for his perfect moderation and self control, for the quiet dignity and the indomitable firmness with which he pursued every path which he had deliberately chosen Of all the great men In history he wal the most invariably judicious, and there Is scarcely a rash word or ac- tion or judgment recorded of him Those who knew him we'll noticed that he had keen sensibllities and strong passions, but his power of self-com- mand never failed him. and no act oi his public life can be traced to per sonal caprice; ambition or resentment In the despondency of long continued failure. in the elation of sudden suc- cess. at times when his soldiers were deserting by hundreds. and when malignant plots were formed against | his reputation, amid the constant quarrels. rivalries and jealousies of his subordinates. in the dark hour of ma - ! .i-.~--. ,nsrarIrude. and in the midst of the most universal and intoxicating fiattery, he was always the same calm, wise. just and single minded man. pursuing the course which he believed to be right. without fear or favor or fanaticism, equally free from the passions that spring from interest. and from the passions that spring from imagination.

FEAR TARIFF REDUCTION
Lower Duty on Foreign Cars
Is Plea of Importers.

No one group of business men in the
country Is more interested in the m
auguration OF President elect Wilson than
the American automobile manufacturers.
OF this class the New York dealers arc
perhaps more concerned than any other
section OF tho industry's selling agents.
for the reason that a majority of foreign
built cars sold in the United States find
market here.
That the automobile men have reason
to be apprehensive lies in the possibility
OF big reduction in the duty on for
eign automobiles. II is known that the
importers are working for reduction Of
import duty from Is TO 25 per cent. Be
cause big percentage OF all imported
foreign cars are sold in New York City
local automobile men, particularly the
dealers in the higher priced American
cars, arc more interested than any one
else, save, perhaps. the makers of the
cars.
There is more real trade competition,
and under far greater handicap. at
tached to the automobile business in New
York than any other business In the coun-
try" SAYS W. G. Poertner, one of the
representative automobile dealers in the
New York trade.
ITO lower the duty on foreign cars
would mean that all the American cars
selling at 5000 and upward would auto
maticslly have added to the number II
its competitors eight or ten foreign cars.
In my opinion, the New YORK market
or. In fact. the American market-cannot
possibly stand one more car than is now
being made and sold

against the suggested legislation.
Secretary Claude T.. Holgate of the
Newark Motor Club in his call has direct
cd attention TO some of Commissioner
Lippincott's recommendation which he
says motorists should oppose. 1t would
seem to the layman, he asserts, that the
commissioner Is trying to make name

clares the efforts are directed along the
wrong lines. He saws the commissioner
is either jumping at conclusions or Is i'll

pose't them. With regard TO the suggested
increase in license fees Secretary IIogate
says:
The commissioner says ne wants To
bring the license standard up to a higher
basis, so that II will conform TO that OF
New York and Pennsylvania. The mo-
torist Of New Jersey is already compelled
to pay considerably more than what his
brother autoist pays IN New York for
similar privileges. Take the average car
say. 20 horsepower. and valued around
$500. as an example. In Nov Jersey the

as they were. This is no longer true ana
the figures recently compiled in various
cities prove it. The statement OF orc
Chicago department store head Is inter-
esting and important in this regard.
His firm now operates fifteen gasolen,
trucks and three clectrics, the Chicaro,n
says. The first was purchased in July
1908. and at that time the deal was re-
garded very much as an experiment To.
day, with two parcel wagons doing IN.
work il formerly required twelve horses
TO accomplish and with the single truck
making three trips to the two possible

venturesome about it.
While the change from the horse TO ,hs

far been gradual, the statement contin.

how investing in trucks, not suspiciously
as heretofore but with confidence tina,
they will effect saving over present
transportation cost. and an increase IN

for increased business.
The firm in question purchased lis
trucks with calculation that they would
last three years, thus allowing a depre.
citation OF 80 l-3 per cent a year. Now

naming for the allotted time OF the first

THIS is the whole secret Of the success OF
the motor truck. The vehicles are being

gone all over.
THE doctor called us on the telephone
and explained his troubles. We asked him
to run the car In and let MS start him
right again. on examination We found
that some one had removed the spring
from the carburetor. and In It's place had
inserted a very crude coil OF stove pipe
wire. The rods that open and close the
valves had been adjusted so that not
more than half OF the new gas could
enter the cylinders or half OF the exhaust
gases escape. and the intake pipe had

screws which hold Il against the cylin-

Buick Reserve Power Is
Acknowledged Wherever
Motor Cars Are Run

Buick endurance is largely due to re-
serve power and reserve power is the
result of correct design, good mate
rails, careful workmanship and the
knowledge we have gained by expert
ence during the last nine years, while
building lll,o0O Buick Cars in our
own shops, the largest automobile fac
tory in the world.
Buick Cars climb nearly all the hills
on high gear, and easily develop fifty
miles per hour speed Other moderate
price cars change gears when any real
hills are encountered, and strain to do
forty miles per hour speed. This
steady drain on their vitality dooms
them to short life.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1913-02-02
Reserve Power

If Buick Cars which are more Hex
ible are only required to travel as far
and as fast, they do the work much
easier, change gears less and use less
gas. This explains why Buick Cars
give satisfactory service for thousands
of miles after other moderate price cars
are worn out, and why they give as
much power after two or three years
use as 90 per cent of the moderate
priced cars give when new.
