To the Tribune: Some time aso

to mail order houses for goods, and
the figures are accompanied with
the statement that this money wss

Now supposing the Tribune tells
us how much money 10 sent out Of
La Junta every year for automobiles
The auto craze is abroad In III.
land and some people nave II bad
The money that is sent out for AUTO
Is a dead loss to the merchants Of
La Junta. Moreover. many Of them
do not need an auto any more than
a wagon needs five wheels.
The goods that are shipped Into
La Junta from mail order houses do
not Kill or cripple anybody. but the
automobiles d.. TheAe doiefui. toot

anybody but the doctors ard under
takers know men riding around In

or at leas, do not pay them. One
man sends OFF twenty dollars for
goods. his n.ighbor sends off two
thousand dollars for an AUTOMOBILE
Which is tn. best citizen, which

BREAKS ANOTHER
PRECEDENT

Pres. Wilson added another to the
long list of precedents he has brok-
en- ince assuming office. Mar. 4th.
in delivering his message 10 Congress
from the rostrum OF the House of
Representatives. Tuesday, instead Of
sending 1t and having il read by the
clerk.
Some objection to this innovation
was voiced among the staid members
of the Senate. but what at first prom
Used TO CRATE harshly upon senator
ial dignity proved to be such pleas
ant affair thai the carping critics
acquiesced and their voices were lost
in pretty general applause of the re-
yiyal of the ancient custom, out of
use since the time of President John
Adams.
The entire addess of the President
only consumed about fifteen minutes,
and would have been nearly five
minutes shorter save for the introduc-
ton which explained his purpose in
coming before the body.
The preface to the message is as
follows
IL am very glad indeed to have
this opportunity TO address the two
Houses directly and to verify for my
self the impression that the Presi-
dent of the United States is a person.
not a mere department OF the govern
ment hailing Congress from some iso-
lated island of jealous power, sending
messages, not speaking naturally and
with his own voice; that he is a hui
man being trying 10 cooperate with
other human beings In common
service.
After this pleasant experience !
shall feel quito normal to all Of our
dealings with one another"
