TIL: BATTLE O

Horticultural and Commercial Press SeryiceI
It is interesting to watch the forces
Of civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest of the Twen-;
tieth Century.
The struggle Is q silent one and
there are no war correspondents to,
write vivid descriptions of the con-
aict but the results are more far.
reaching to present and future gem
erations than the war Of Europe. !,
The rubber tire has been maneuyers
ing for point of attack for several
years and has captured few unim-
portant positions in traffic, but it has
now pitched decisive battle with
it's iron competitor by hurting mil
lion tjitneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result of the
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. II it is compelled to re-
treat its doom is sealed, but if it wins
the battle it will reyolutionize the
transportation methods of this nation
II the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic its next struggle is with
the railroads Of the country, and then
the create csbattle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
of this earth is on, for iron is the I'm.
disputed master in transportation, and
is fortified behind billions of dollars,
and millions of men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1914, but it was 1859
before the golden spike was driven
at Pronontory Point. which bound
the country together with bands of
STEEL 1t took the iron tire fifty-fiye
years to creep from ocean to ocean,
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like.
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys.
ses. The roadbed was already pre-
pared and therein lies the power of
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
! But iron is stubborn metal and
it has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the wormWood
of defeat, and when rubber hurls its
full force against this monarch OF
the Mineral Kingdom, it may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recoy-
cry.
The rubber tire first made it's ap-
pearance on the bicycle, but 1t proved
frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. 1t has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as utility ma
chine and its reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to watt into
dreamland, it is enchanting to note
that there will be marvellous differ
ence between rubber, and an iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every mans door,
why a city? It Will-trayerse the con-
tinent with net work OF Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boule-
ward built by Napoleon. It will par
alyze the law making bodies OF this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on?

FEDERAL INDUSTRIAL
COMMISSION
BY Peter Radford.

The recent Investigation OF the
United States Commission of Indus
trial Relations brought together the
extremes of society and has given the
public an opportunity to view the rep
resentatives of distinct classes, side
by side, and to study their views In
parallel columns.
Capital and labor have always been
gIaring at each other over CULTS OF
misunderstanding and if the Federal
Industrial Commission attempts to
bridge the chasm, it will render the
public distinct service.
The farmer has been sitting on the
fence watching capital and labor fight
for many years and incidentally furn-
fishing the sinews of war and it Is
quite gratifying to find them talking
with, instead Of about, each other.
When honest men smile and look into
each others souls, it always makes
the world better and far more salts
factory to the farmer, who In the end,
bears the burden of conflict, than
resolutions, speeches or pamphlets
containing charges and counter
charges.
The love for justice makes the
whole world kin. Understanding is an
arbiter far more powerful than the
mandatesrsf. government, for there Is
no authority quite SO commanding as
an honest conscience; there is no de-.
cree quite SO binding as that of the
Supreme Court of Common Sense and
no sheriff can keep the peace quite SO
perfect as Understanding.
We suppose the time will never
come when capital and labor will not I
be occasionally blinded by the light
ming flashes of avarice or frightened
by the thunder peals of discomfort.
But Understanding is Prince Of
Peace that ever holds out the olive
branch to men who want to do right
A mans income is always a sacred
thing for in it are the hope, ambition
and opportunity of himself, and fam ii
lily, but there is nothing in human Y
heart quite so divine as Justice and
Understanding is it's handmaiden.

NOTHING FROM WEST OR NORTH

LONDON, July with the exception of some artil-
ery exchanges near Aras Labassee and in the Argonne
region very little activity is noted from the western front
todays dispatches. Both sides have apparently decid-
hold each other for the present but the people here
regard as disagreeabe the thought that while Germany
was engaged fully with the Russians the promised ad-
vance in the west was not found possible. Some easi
ness is felt at the rmors of a tremendous westward
movement on the part of the Teutons and Russa Of
fensve power cannot be counted for time the
British people expect that and our French allies must
meet the bunt for some time to come Troops are still
being sent across but in what numbers is not known al
though those numbers must be large Some resessness
is exhibited from time to time in the house Of commons
in the questions asked but the people generally have full
confidence that we can meet the coming avalanche sue

BRYAN SAYS NEWSPAPERS
SHOULD SIGN EDITORIALS
Even Independent Papers, He Says,
Are Biased Unless Columns
Open to All Sides.

SAN FRANCISCO, July Wi
liam Jennings Bryan at the Inter
national Peace congress today deliver
ed an address during which he stated
that he is not for peace at any price
as has been said of him. He declared
that newspapers very often are re-
sponsible for creating a totally diff
ferent impression from the truth
about public men and he suggested
that all newspapers should have their
editorials and news stories signed by
the men who write them so that
everyone might know where exactly
to lay the blame. He further stated
that even newspapers that are inde-
pendent of outside influences are
biased according to the opinions of
the men who write and publish them
and their columns should be open to
both sides of every controversy.

only right. After the game two teams

In Spite of Her Efforts

Harry, her former husband, is still

she has expressed the intention of
escaping to Canada before appearing
in the case. That she will receive a
tremendous grilling from Thaw's at

be fully aware of what is before her.
To show her animus against the de

MUST BUY LOT
OR CLEAR OUT
COMMISSIONER MEARS ISSUES
ORDER THAT VACANT ANCHOR
AGE LOTS MUST REMAIN so.

A letter received from Anchorage
this morning contains a copy of a re-
cent order posted by Commissioner
Mears in which it is stated that after
the sale of town lots at Anchorage no
person will be permitted to occupy
any of the lots remaining unsold. The
order begins by stating that people
must clear off rne ground which is
needed for railroad construction and
for the construction of commissary,
dock sites, etc, and the impression is
given that not only must people move
off the ground now occupied by the
temporary town but that they cannot
hope to get space in the new town.

MORE OF THAT GEDDES STUFF.

OGDEN, July President Tanner
of the Agricultural college testified to-
day in the Geddes- -Eccles case that
Eccles was worried during the Smoot
investigation that Mrs. Geddes would
have asked incriminating questions Of
him while he was on the stand. This
testimony of Tanner is supposed to be
useful in showing that the relations
between Mrs. Geddes and Eccles were
not those of husband and wife. The
case seems to be still far from an
ending.
