Especial to The Republican,


 LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25.-lWith cars running at top speed for the final try-out before the Vanderbilt Cup and International Grand Prize races, the daredevil drivers who are to strive for the premier hOnors in auto racing, made circuit after circuit on the Santa Monica course today, per fecting their acquaintance with the tack, and shaking their engines down to their fittest form for the great tests of speed and endurance.
 The Vanderbilt Cup race will be run tomorrow and the International on Saturday. Both events will be contests in which the drivers will flirt with death at every turn. con- tests of speed and endurance. with the victors, according to advance predictions. covering the distance at eighty miles an hour or better.
 At present all interest is centered in the classic Vanderbilt Cup con test. the oldest and most famous rac- ing event of it's kind in the western world. That the event tomorrow will be as exciting and interesting as any of its predecessors appears a celtainty. It will be a wonderful demonstration of ingenious devices constructed for speed, for power, for strength, driven with all the daring and skill of men trained for just such record breaking events. On the eve of the contest the experts refuse even to predict winner, although every man is more than willing to assert that there will be thrills a. rienty for the thousands of spec .ators who gather to witness the hair raising contest.
 That faster time than ever before may be expected in both the Van derblt Cup and International Grand Prize contests is quite probable. for the void. Races have been held over the course since 1909. thirteen con- tests having been staged upon it. Laps have been made as fast as ninety three miles an hour, and the worlds road race record was estab- lished over this course two years ago when Tetzlaff averaged 1872 miles Ter hour
 The course is situated within d half hours ride of this city. Ii skirts the Pacific and winds in and out among the gardens and palms and pepper trees. It is not only one of the fastest but one of the safest auto racing courses in the world There never has been d serious acci- uent on it. There is only one right angle turn, and this has been made as wide as possible
 All of the drivers who will take part in the Vanderbilt Cup contest are pilots of international reputation Ralph De Palma, the present holder of the cup, will defend the trophy He will drive a Mercedes-the same car in which he won the last Van

THE MILITARY CRAZE

In Sweden King Gustafs speech from the throne to the Riksdag showed that the craze for armament has fallen upon that country also. Announcement was made that a special defence tax will be levied on large incomes, and the budget in cludes a reserve for contingent mili- tary needs amounting to near s1, 500,000. And in addition to all this. bill is to be introduced providing for the enfranchisement of women. As the sparks fly upward. York Evening Sun.

This transition is one of confusion simply because it is part one thing and part another, and obviously the way out is forward, not backward. Since suffrage is bound to come, why try to delay it just to keep up the confusion? Why fool away time for any such purpose?

The timorous citizen who is ever
uttering gloomy prophecies that the
huge scale OF expenditure is heading
the city into the shoals of bankruptcy
will be surprised to learn that the
Corporation of the City of New York

owners in its own right within the limits
OF it's jurisdiction, says a writer in

How did the city ever acquire THE

OF the surprised citizen. Three chan
nels may be pointed out whereby the
municipality became the recipient of
this land: original grant. condemna-
ton and outright purchase.
