Later War News

While there is prospect of peace between the allies and the Germans, gratified a tendency toward accord in the accounts by the belgerents of proceedings along the battle front In the earlier days of the struggle, the nightly stories emanating from Paris and printed in London, with slight conservative reservations, and the news from Berlin, via the Sayvile, Long Isand wireless station, divergent that they seemed tt relate to wholly different engagements in the localities. The German statements it was afterward learned, generally true but they did not forth all the truth The French generally found to be eXaggeration of French advantages and tonnS down of French reverses all the senderest foundation of truth
 Now the vivacity of the French correspondents has been modified Unnecessary, and sometimes recognizing that German matters of news, and that there is strategic gain in cealing from the enemy what he already knows. So reformed have the methods of the belg- erents become that accounts by both sides of the Various engagements may be recognized as reat- ing to the engagements Though the accounts dc always, and for that matter, seldom 'jbe,' it is evident that both making concessions and struggling toward the truth. We hope that this be approach to general accord that will lead peace.
 But in the eastern theater of there is no such accord yet. Reports of events divergent and left to believe that the Germans, the Russians the Austrians, all of them, still valiant and implacape liars

ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcH1

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Work on the details of the war revenue bill was continued today by the senate
 finance subcommittee and prepara-
 tions were made for consideration of
 the measures by the full committee l tomorrow. No general changes were ! considered. the sub-committees con ! fining their discussion to the details
 Of the measure.
 1 The proposed tax on gasoline was i eliminated the sub committee consid-
 ering that section Of the bill substitut- 1 ing instead a tax of p cents per horsepower on automobiles and a 1 selling tax on manufacturers of $1 per horsepower.
 1 Numerous amendments, proposing additional items of taxation or alter 1 house, were considered.
 ! The National Association of Overs and Cleaners presented to the commit 1 tee today a vigorous protest against
 the proposed tax of cents a gallon
 on gasoline.
 The protest stated that 75 per cent. i of all the gasoline used in the United i States is consumed in the mechanical
 and industrial arts and less than 25 1 Der cent. by automobiles. The amount
 of gasoline used in the dry cleaning and dyeing establishments of the | United States is estimated at moro
 than 1OO,OO0,O0O gallons per year.
 Attacks upon the conference report
 on the Clayton antitrust bill were continued in the senate today by 1 Senators Reed, Weeks and Borah.
 Senator Chiffon, one of the conferees,
 defended the report. Senator Weeks declared the leasing system employed
 by the United Shoe Machinery com pany, one of the concerns against i which the tying clause of the Clay
 ton bill is directed. is a boon to small manufacturers who would be unable to maintain their business if forced to buy machines which they rent under the United company's plan.
 He said Louis D. Brandeis, who was 1 instrumental in the reshaping of the i Clayton bill before the senate com
 mittee, was the attorney who attend ! ed to the legal problem of the or ganization of the United Shoe Ma
 chinery company. MT Brandeis he
 added, appeared before the Massa
 chusetts legislature for the company | in opposition to legislation designed ] to outlaw the tying clause" of the
 lease which he himself drew October 15 was agreed upon today
 by democratic leaders as a tentative ] date for the adjournment of congress. and the senate steering committee
 quickly framed legislative program designed to conclude pending legisla-
 tion by that date.

Vaccination

Vaccination is a method of cheat ing small pox out of it's just results by spelling the territory in advance.
 Small pox is produced by a most undesirable microbe which sprawls through the human system and lmesses it up in scandalous manner A man who is entertaining a case of small poX. moreover usually distri butes samples among his neighbors in an open handed, generous manner which makes the disease spread fas CT than a new dance.
 A hundred years ago small poX was iexceedingly fatal and even when it did not kill it's victim it left him with a face looking like a pianola record When small poX got into a community in those days it usually weeded out the population in a sys Itematic manner, leaving just enough ito start a new Commercial club and l begin business on a small scale. Soft hearted historians curse the white man for eradicating the noble cop per tinted Indian-at which small pOX smiles sarcastically-for it has wiped out many tribes single-handed without the use of rum, famine or land lagents
 More than a century ago Dr. Jen- ner discovered that if little virus from a cow who was entertaining small pox germs was injected into a human arm, that arm would have a case of small pox ali by itself; and | ha p arm would be immune henceforth. It is rather hard on the arm, which sWells up into red globe rather more painful than a sore tooth but it is a great relief to the complexion and the sick arm was neither dangerous nor contagious.
 Millions of people got vaccinated after Jenner's discovery was tested land the world was full of pensve men and women who yelled mournfully whenever anything touched their arms. |Today vaccination is compulsory Tn lmost places and many people wish it's good effects could be extended to oth- CT contagious like love, extravaganza land tangoitis.
 There are some nobly free souls lwho protest against vaccination with ltheir whole might and assert their in- ialienablc right to have small pox if they want it. They also declare that vaccination doesn't do any good. How ever. it must be admitted that when lvaccinaton came in small pox went out and has never returned except in a dejected and toothless form.
 People should be allowed to go un- lvaccinated and treat themselves to small pox whenever they please-but

Prouressives and Prohibition

Readers of the telegraphc news of the last two weeks have observed the attitude of the progress sive party in the different states toward the pro hibition question Progressives everywhere have recognized the pressing character of that issue and have not. therefore fooishy tried to ignore it.
 In of the states the question has not yet been directly presented. It is yet in the form of proposition submit it the people The repub- hcans and the democrats afraid to touch 1t in this harmless shape. The progressives in such states, whatever may be their views on pro- hibition, believe that there is question so deli that il be withheld from contact with the people.
 Where the question has already been submitted, as in this state and has been made direct issue, progressives in all have taken affirmative believing that it is one of the forms of the spirit Of the national progressive platform which looks to the greater prosperity and efficiency of the American people.
 In Ohio the issue has been made direct by the submission of anti-prohibiton amendment, de- signed to arrest the spread of prohibition by counties. Tine progressves are opposing this amend ment and have had the endorsement and support Colonel Roosevelt in several speeches within the last week. In Michigan and Maryland the issue is in the form of proposition for submission; in the former state the proposition go to the peo- pie along with other amendments embodying pro- gressive principles Thus the progressives of Mchi- have identified themselves in advance with the prohibition cause.
 is a noticeable fact that the course the party has taken. wherever the question has come up in any form, has not been the result of q suggestion from national headquarters of any conference of progressive leaders ir the different states It may therefore, be regarded the same interpretation by the party in each state of the spirit of the na- tional platform.

 BACK ID TOWN
Popular Manager of O'Neill Auto Company Obtains Maxwell Agency and EX- poets to Make Things Hum-New Car Great

After looking thoroughly through a number of the automobile factories in the east, especially near Detroit, Thomas E. Trent, one of the most popular auto salesmen of Phoenix, re- turned yesterday with the Maxwell agency securely sewed in his pocket and the possibility of other changes in local auto circles that will cause the fans to sit up and take notice. Trent is now the manager of the ONeill Automobile company, with q handsome garage on North Center street and hosts of friends throughout the state.
 He is enthusiastic over the new Maxwell. He says it is modern, ef- ficient, beautiful, wonderful. Its lines are perfect and it's accessories beyond reproach The new Maxwell is com pletely equipped with Gray & Davis starter and light system, same as the big cars. It has stream-line body, three forward sliding gear, cone clutch and handsome finish, and is a light weight car, with a powerful motor. Tire finish block tests proved the motor in a class by itself.
 Three big plants of the Maxwell company are busy turning out 200 ears daily, and dealers are waiting for cars. l. is expected to prove the sensation of the year.
 Trent managed to get a carload for his territory, and they will be here this week. Trent also visited the Dodge plant and went all through it saw engine and parts and all. He visited the Hudson and Chalmers plants. He praised the Chalmers plant highly. They manufacture their car and do not assemble il, like so many
 Trent is glad to get back to Phoe- nix. which looks more like real town than ever. The company will handle Goodrich tires, and many new ac- cessories, and they expect to make things hum.

The Three Parties

We invite a furtier and careful reading of the progressive state platform and a comparison with the worder platforms of the democratic and republican parties Every clause of the progressive platform something every citizen. It pro- poses the improvement of condition, and it describes how it should be improved. It meets an existing and recognized complaint and suggests a remedy. No man, whether democrat republican, will deny that if the proposals of tho progressive platform given effect the state would be the better for it.
 The progressives do not, as the republicans go before the people with the broad assertion that democratic management state and national affairs has been bad in every particular. We must ascrbe to both the national and state administration some good. but many improperly directed motives, that the results have been bad. many democrats only admit but positively assert.
 In this state the party stands squarey on the record of the administration whence cude that in the event of the retention Of the ad- minstration there would be change Such vio- Ettions of the law have been complained of would continue. An endorsement of the administration in November would be authorization by majority Of the voters for further extravaganza in the duct of the states affairs, though democrats admit that there has been woful and unprecedented waste and extravaganza The triumph of the administra- ton would rghtfully be interpreted by it ap- proval of the nefficiency with which the states business has been managed and after that major y could be heard complain
 That everything has not been bad in the handling of the states business in the progressive view shown in the that the progressive party has proposed general overturning. For of the offices which have been admittedly we'll conducted the progressves have put forward no candidates and, in cases, it has endorsed democratic candidates reelection. It had not believed, better to offer.
 The progressive party has proposed nothing but what it conceived to be for the public good. The democratic and republican parties have proposed only those things which will be better for their ganizations Read the platforms again again.
