The United States ha; skinned the
cream of the automobile business. I'm
Gle Sam is motor car maker to the world.
The ability of American mechanics to
fashion a light, serviceable car which
sells at reasonable price, and which can
be made in enormous quantities in the
great American factories by systematized
industrial methods, has given this coun
try great and profitable trade which
has brought much money from abroad.
According to figures compiled by the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, Department of Commerce, forty
million dollars worth of automobiles
and parts were sent out of continental
United States in the fiscal year 1918,
against about one million dollars worth
in 1908, decade earlier
The number OF machines exported to
foreign countries in 1913 was 25, 900 as
against 1000 in 1910, and a little less
than 5000 in 1907, the first year in
which the number was stated in the ex-
port records of the country. The average
price at which they were exported was
about one thous md commercial automo
biles at an average valuation of $1,000
each, and "a, 900 other machines at an
average price OF about 81 900 each
The distribution of American automo-
biles extends to all parts of the world
The figures for the fiscal year 1913 show
exports to seventy-fve countries and col.
onies, and the business is growing with
tremendous rapidity.

Minnesota follows Oho's example IN
opening the way for majority verdicts in
civil cases. By constitutional amend
ment last fall Minnesota authorized the
enactment of laws to permit a civil jury
verdict by three quarter vote and the
law was passed by the recent legislature.
The general extension of this law will
put out of business the "twefth stubborn
juror" whose pride in the infallibility of
his own wisdom leads him to set up his
own convictions against the combined
Judgment of his eleven associates and
thus contributes so frequently to the
laws delay. Vermont would do well to
initiate Ohio and Minnesota in this di-
rectiOn.

fortunately, however, strike OF street

MAYOR sHANK's RESIGNATION.

Moralists are fond of philosophiEing
over the constant struggle between the
powers Of evil and of good for the con-
troll of man, and successful stories have
been written and plays evolved that
have for their central thought this con-
test between evil and good for suprem-
acy over man 8 soul. None Of us are
all good any more than we are all bad
but In the case of the majority of
persons, whether classified as good or
bad, their general tendency is almost
invariably in one Of the two direc-
tions
This is strikingly true Of public Off
eials who have character enough to
remove them from the dead level Of
mediocrity. A quito marked instance
Of public official who has done con-
spicuously good service to his constitu-
ents and followed it with equally as
conspicuous bad service, is afforded by
has just resigned from tho mayoralty
Of Indianapolis. Shank has often been
charged with being a demagogue, but
even the persons making the charge
admitted the quality Of the service he
was giving the city of Indianapolis,
and, in all probability, the accusation
of demagoguery was due In the main
to the methods employed by Shank,
rather than 10 the ends which he sought
TO accomplish. In his capacity of
mayor, Shank forced the saloon men Of
Indianapolis to obey the law. This he
accomplished by variation Of method
suited to each individual case: In some
instances he would suspend licenses for
different periods, and one saloonkeeper
had his license suspended until he was
able to bring a certificate, signed by
tho minister of a church, that the sa-
loon man had become regular attend
ant at his services. Facetious unbe-
levers in indianapolis insisted that
compulsory attendance at church had
as much TO do with the saloon men g
observance Of the law as the suspen.
sion Of their licenses. Whatever the
| controlling force, the saloon men GER
tainly learned TO obey the law and to
heed shank s admoUitions
Shank also broke potato corner,
engineered by indianapolis retailers,
by the importation of sixteen carloads
OF potatoes, which he sold at about
half the retail market price. In other
foodstuffs similarly, he made tho city
competitor of the retailers, with the
result that the cost OF living was ma
