Blishtine Effect Of Liquor Traffic.

Is on our homes. 1t accosts and

Petition Rejected.

The Tribune was informed late last
evening that the board of county
commissioners had rejected the petit
ton asking for local option election
this fall, Two members of the board
are said to have shown bias against
the petition, which, it is claimed, had
enough names after all illegal sigma
lures had been eliminated. The drys
are disappointed but leaders are said
to favor getting up new petition at
once, as they believe the temperance
sentiment is too strong to be Ignored.

ENGLISH CYCLE CAR
IS ONLY A TOY

A few months ago Europe, and more
especially England became enthusiast
tic over what was declared 70 be a
first step toward furnishing real COM
petition for American manufactures
of medium priced cars. This move was
the introduction Of the sOCalled cycle
car, a very small, very light autOmO-
bile, manufactured at a low cost Brit
ish trade and newspapers hailed the
new car with JOY, declaring that 1t was
the logical weapon for combating the
american invasion" Of medium
priced automobiles. Some of the more
optimistic saw the complete democrat
iZatiOn Of the American export bust
ness and chuckled gleefully at the
contemplated discOmfOrture of the
United States makers. However. the
proposition seems to have missed fire,
has felt the slightest effect on his tor-
eign trade.
''The cycle car hasn't the ghost
of a show" said an American manufac-
turer recently on his return from a
several months tour of Europe "As
a competitor for the American car, ii
is a joke As compared to the high
grade automobile made in our country,
it is nothing more nor less than
toy. The cycle car wouldn't last
month on American roads and / serl-
ously doubt that il Will be found prac-
teal even on the excellent highways
Of England and the rest Of Europe.
"The average American car Of med
ium price is as superior in strength
and ruggedness to this English product
as a locomotive is to a carriage We
haven't a reason in the world TO feel
uneasy over the cycle car. Our great
advantage in America is that we build
our cars for actual service on some
Of the worst imaginable roads and IN
large numbers
