THE LOW PRICED AUTOMOBILE.

tt @W7NHIS SUMMER any man who can afford to I keep. a horse and carriage e 10 have an automobile. Reasonably comfort able machines capable of good honest work can be had for but little more than a good team costs. And gasoline and tires need not cost as much as hay and oats.
 But the purchase of lasn automobile is an extravagance for q great many men, because they demand relatively higher degree of com- fort in the machine than they formerly expect- ed with the horse,
 few years ago man might have been satisfied with lazy old beast approaching su- perannuation. His buggy would be second hand, rckety in the j'ints, with a rattle that could be heard 300 yards away. Yet today the same man is discontented with an automobile costing less than thousand dollars
 This is one of the many signs of the de- cline of the pioneer spirit Discomfort is dread led more and more, The slight jo1ting one gets from 8 low priced machine, it's inability to climb hills at ashigh rate of speed, are too annoying for these paInpered times

AUTOMOBILE SPEEDS TOO HIGH

 TW-NHE NATURALIZATION of automobile kill
 ings raises question regarding the wisdom of the speed feature of the Connecticut automobile law. The law permits 25 miles ah hour, and more under certain conditions.
 The effect upon automobilists may be ob- served on the road between Bridgeport and New York Over the Greenwich line New York laws previl, and on the New York side of the line au- tomobiles move at a reasonable and relatively safe speed. But the instant the New York mum Der crosses into Greenwich the car begins to hit itsup' and keeps hitting it all the way to the Massachusetts line
 There is a direct relation between exces- sive. speed and killings The question was argued in the Connecticut legislature a year ago, Democratic House Leader Thoms and the Repre- sentatives from Bridgeport leading the argument for a1oVver speed limit.
 The low limit in experience means speed traps and occasional injustice to automobiles. But there are worse evils than speed traps, and greater good than their avoidance. It is worth omething to make life safer.

PREPARATION FOR BUSINESS.

F A BUSINESS man has an important puf-
 chase to make, he looks in the market news or his trade paper to see what the prices are and what the chances are that the mar ket will rise or fall. Then he is in position to know how far he can bargain with salesman.
 One of the principal reasons why house. hold buying used to be unscentific was that it was conducted without this preliminary pre- parafion. A customer went into store, and if she saw something she liked, she bought it on the spot. But very likely the store next door money
 This principle is so thoroughly realized to- day, that most people turn to the newspaper ad- vertising before making purchases of any inn- portanee
 Market and trHde conditions change so ra- pidly. that it is not enough for a customer to have general intelligence about shopping. The good purchase of today is the. bad one of to- morrow The news of the stores needs to be followed from week to week in the newspaper advertising.

ticuIar Christian cur' with his life.
 Besides instructing the troops of the Sultan in the science of warfare. the Kaid frequently led them in battle against the rebeIlfous tribes of the iu- terior, and his bravery on such occa- sions was what won the admiration oe his Mohammedan followers. They believed that the Kaid was under the special protection of Allah, be- cause of his many narrow escapes. When Nulai died ssKaid" MacLeaa became the real ruler of Morocco, al- though Mulai's son was the nominal head of the government. In 1901 the Ikaid was knighted, and decorated for, his services to the British government.
 One of the most thrilling of the Kaid's experiences was his capture in July, 1907, by the bandit Raisuli. For seven months he was held a prisoner by Raisuh, and subjected to the most cruel treatment, but was released when almost dead of starvation on the payment of a ransom of $100, ,0OO. It was during the Katdss captivity that Mulai Hafld had himself pro- claimed Sultan. The Kaid divorced his first wife in 1905. and last Septem- Der he married a. daughter of tine late Sir Harry Prendergast, who dethroned Therbaw and annexed Burma

sKaid'' MacIean, 6S Today, Most Adventurous of the Famous Clan.

A mighty man is AaeIean-aIthough he sometimes calls himself Mclean or Maclaine. Originally a Scotchmans and still frequently to be encountered in the land of heather, he is equally at home on all continents and all seass. In Canada, the United States and Australia. he has become man of influence, and he has written his name in the history of all these coun- tries. He is the editor Of great news papers, educator, Jurist, financfer, ad- venturers philosopher, explorer. sci enlist. Presbyterian, and prominent in many other professions, trades aIfz varied activities. And what a Mac lean does he does well-trust him for that.
 Of all the members of this nuner- ous and wandering clan, however, the most adventurous is that distinguished soldier who achi eyed fame as 'NThe Kai d ''@2 General Sir Harry Aubrey de MacIean, K. c. M. G., c. M e. The story of his adventurous life, which began sixty-six years ago today. June Is. 1842, sounds like red-gored and two listed fiction. He was the son of Andrew Mclean, surgeon-general of the British army, and descended from that immortal clan of Highland chief tains who once Iorded it over large sections of Scotland. As a lad he entered the British army, serving in the Sixty-ninth Foot. While on miIi- tary duty in Gibraltar he visited Mo rocco and there met the then Sultan Mulai-el-Hassa Mu1ey was very much impressed by the soldierly bear ing of the Scotchman, and offered him job as instructor in the Moofish army, with the rank of colonel in the Sultan's Rodyguards MacLean accept ed-no MacLean could refuse such an opportunity for adventure-and for thirty years the. Kaid was prom inent in Moroccan affairs He quick Iy rose to be the ommander-in-chief of the Sultan's army, and for thirty years wie1ded an influence second only to that of the Sultan himself. An fin ddeI' Presbyterian, he ruled with rod of iron an army of about 5O,000 fa- naticaI Christian-hating MosIems. There was not man among them who did not consider that the sIayinR of t'giaour'' was a virtuous act which would be rewarded by Allah with an extra number of houris in Paradise. yet the Kaid was looked upon as an exception, and every dusky Moorish soldier would have protected that par

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
Tenth Anniversary of the
 :" General Slocum" Disaster.


 One of the most pathetic tragedies of modern times is that which is an- nualIy comm emm orated on the ff- teenth of June by the Organization of the General Slocum Survivors. It was ten years ago today that the with a large party of Lutheran Sun day school excursi onists on board, caught on fire while passing through East River. In the narrow stretch of water known by the grim name of Hell Gate, with the shores near at around her. the doomed ship burned like ofl-soaked finder, and before any organized attempts at rescue could be made the General S1ocum was a char. red hulk, filled with corpses. Of the 1.031 persons who were consumed in that roaring furnace or were drown ed, the great majority were children and young people, and this added to the horror of the disaster.
 In the number of lives lost the des- the most terrible marine disaster of modern times, with the sole exception of the Titanic wreck. The recent sinking of the Empress of Ireland in the St. Aawr tragic as it was, claimed ia lesser number of victims than the General Slocum holocaust.
 It is best for the writer of today to draw a veil over the nameless hor- TOTS of that day a decade ago. Sub sequent inquiries proved that the Gen. eral Slocum, which was used as an excursion steamer in the waters around New York, was far from sea- worthy. The vessel was built in 1891, and Capt. William H. Van Schaicl was her first and only commander. and in charge on June Is, 1904, when the Siocum was chartered to convey the members Of St. Marks German c74v1dav sfsF4r1f11s an fIaaif. nual outing. It was a gay and happy crowd, largely composed of children and their mothers, which set out on that holiday trip which was destined to have so tragic a termination. When the fire was discovered Captain Van Schaich made no effort to beach the vessel at once. but tried to reach North Brother Island, where the bleaching of the flaming vessel would have been attended with less loss to property It was fatal error of Judgment and Captain Van Schaick was afterward indicted on a charge of criminal negligence, and was con- victed and sentenced to ten years in prison The Organization of the Gen. eral SIocum Survivors, which tn- cIudes also the relatives of the vic- tirns. bitterly opposed the release of the aged mariner, but in 1911 he was paro1ed, and the following year he re- ceived a full pardon from President Taft.
 After the fire the hull of the Gen eral SIocun1 was rebuilt and trans formed Into a coal barge. It was all most impossible to get men to work on the barge, which had been re- christened Maryland, . and many sailors asserted that the vessel was haunted by the ghosts of it's victims. Along the waterfront the: barge was known as a 'shoodoo sfip,'' and this superstitious belief was apparently Justified by the frequent accidents in which the barge was Involved. The end of the General Slocum came early in 1912, when she sunk off Corson' $ Island, N. J., below Atlantic City, and was blown mp by the federal aut1ori- ties as a danger to shipping.

SOLICITING BUSINESS.

NNE OF THE recent progressive steps in && the religious world has been what is called the Every Member campaign. It is based 0n the idea that there are a great many people Ele attend church who would be willing tol gise to the work Of the church. if their contri buttons were solicited
 Most churches have not been conducted in q business like way. Regular and thorough SO hciting of subscriptions is very rare. As the result of the new idea referred to, many churches that always used to have 8 deficit have been put on 8 prosperous financial basis: Tn one church of about 300 members known toa the writer, about 25 new subscribers were se-7 lcnred by this kind of a campaign with in creases of contributions from about 75 others, snd total gain in revenl1es of $1s5OO
 It is not oftellsssssiat the churches can teach a lesson in business efficiency to the business man Yet here is a case in point Many mer- chants are conducting their business with lack of enterprise which is just as marked as are often run
 1t goes to show that if you want financial support for any kind of propositions you have got to get out and hustle for it. The business man has no force of unpaid workers, which like a body of church adherents can get out from house to house and solicit help But the news. paper furnishes the means by which he can. tell his story to the entire public
 The mere fact that he appears in the pub lie prints with story of his business spreads abroad the opinion that he is pusner The public values enterprise. It will pass by the old timer, and go down in some side street to- hunt out the man who shows initiative If in addition the merchant can talk coIlvfncingly about his goods, and give the idea that he really has bargains, there will be trouble aoout his success.

TREASURE HOUSE
OF RESOURCES


 The daily Mexican news tells of death. Restitution, and paralyzed in- dustary. Our people do not realize what a reservoir of resources and wealth is tied up as the result of hu- man folly
 The original resources of the United States are to an extent depleted and squandered. Land is high and food Of all kinds will eventually cost much more money than today. Mexicoss idle land can feed millions and her mines and forests can set industry in motion.
 Mexico is a natural field for the en- terprfse of American business men If order can be restored. a great deal of this wealth will 1egftimately How into the United States The proflts of mines. forests. and fields will be spent here. This is possible without exploiting the Mexican people, or de- nytng them their fair share Of the product.
 Tn one church in Guadaloupe, the altar vessels, railings, candelabra, etc, include 50 tons in silver. This Is but a slight suggestion of the abundance of the precious metals. Rich as are these treasures, it is said the country would be four times as wealthy today had it's fields instead of it's mines been developed.
 The ASaSt1nS or the IoreSg6s Dy this profligate race is almost unbelievable. The nonadic tribes of Guerrero are accustomed to burn over rich lands yearly to obtain fields for their sIckly gardens. The next year they move into some new locality, and destroy more of these wonderful trees for the same temporary purpose. A great tree will often be cut by the 16exfcans to get 9 single board.
 Mexican civilization has had many fine aspects, and there must be ele- ments of stability that at last will as- sert themselves Irritating and cost ly as is the present turmoil, there will be rich reward if peace can again be restored. A country that for many years under Diaz had a regu- lar treasury surplus ought to be a valuable neighbor.

INVITING CENsURE
-.--.-.--------.

ww THEN PUBLIC BUSINESS involving the WV expenditure of money is done in q manner which invites. public criticism, and so as to cause inquiry to the motives of the per- sons responsible the question occurs, as to why anybody should be willing to place himself in such a difficult position.
 Men naturally desire to be thought honest and competent They wish for public approval. They hope for public approbation
 It requires powerful motives to get normal men to do things that are likely to disgrace them. This is especially true of men who make business of politics. To such public favor is as the breath of life When they lose it much is lost, and after a time, all-
 These are considerations that obtain with respect to the Warrenite contracts, which have been made in open and disgraceful defiance of the custom of communities in spending large sums of public money
 What motives lead Mayor Wilson and the director of public works to do such thing bringing upon themselves just indignation?
 Warrenite is word familiar in legislative investigations. It figured in the Senate investi- gafion year ago. It figured in investigations in New York, and largely in the speeches of John A. Hennessy, who engaged so effectively in the exposure of the paving gratis of New York state.
 The question was not new in Bridgeport Just such a hasty contract was severely criticis- ed then. The excuse for that contract was that the city desired to take advantage of the similar wo1K being done by the state.

 This newspapers has many times shown that its against sound policy for city to deal in pa tented pavements, for the reason that the way to competition and low price is closed thereby.
 It is the duty of the paving commissioners to do the duty which the law has confided to them.
 They were created to have charge of paving expenditures. They should take charge, should open the way to competition and give Bridge port the best pavement at the best price.
