A DIVINE COVENANT.

God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order OF COM
panionship, civilization has lowered
to its greatest heights. In this rela-
tionship, God has blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years of progress, she now
proposes to provoke God TO decoy
man by asking for suffrage, thereby
by amending an agreement to which
she was not party.
Woman, remember that the Israelite
scorned a divine covenant, and as a
result wandered forty years in the
wilderness without Cod Likewise
man should remember that it is a
dangerous thing to debase woman by
law. Rome tried lowering woman's
standard and an outraged civilization
tore the clothes off the backs Of the
human race and turned them out to
roam in the world naked and un-
ashamed.

THE BATTLE Of
THE TIRES

agricultural and COMMERCIAL Press servioel
IL is Interesting TO watch the forces
OF civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises 10
be the liveliest contest Of the Twen'
tieth Century.
The struggle Ia silent one and
there are no war correspondents TO
write vivid descriptions of the con-
nict but the results are more far
reaching 10 present and future gen
erations than the war OF Europe.
The rubber tire has been maneuyer.
ing for point OF attack for several
years and has captured a few unim-
portant positions In trafle. but Il has
now pitched a decisive battle with
It's iron competitor by hurllng a mil.
lion "jitneys" az 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 Il is compelled to re-
treat, its doom Ia sealed. but II II wins
the battle Il viii revolutionize the
transportation methods OF this nation.
II the rubber tire eonquers the
street trafho It's next struggle is with
the railroads OF the country. and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
Of this earth is on, for iron is the un.
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 Il was 1869
before the golden spike was driven
At Promontory Point which bound
the country together with bands OF
steel. II took the iron tire fifty-hve
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 a stubborn metal and
II 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, II may rebound
10 the factory stunned beyond recov-
cry.
The rubber tire first made its ap-
pearanee on the bicycle. but II proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. II has always been
too much inclined 10 revel In luxury
20 be taken seriously as a utility ma
chine and its reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy trafic
performance.
But 20 those who care TO wait into
dreamland. Il is enchanting to note
that there will be a marvellous differ
ence between a 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? II will traverse the con-
tinent with a net work OF Macadam

frisco Railway Notes

II is proposed by officials of the
Frisco Railroad TO make every town
along the line a recruiting station
for the Frisco.
Nothing could be more desirable
than that everyone in the Frisco
service should have been reared in
It's territory, and, with this object
in view every possible effort, con-
sistent with fair play to those who
are OF have been IN service, will be
made TO give positions to applicants
who live along the line.
At the same time, the officials
realize that the Frisco has neither
the time nor the money TO set as a
training school for raw recruits,
neither has 1t opportunity TO discov-
er the natural bent of applicants
for positions, but TO further its
plan, it is proposed to have the
superintendents and those under
them deliver short talks upon the
different branches Of railroad ser.
vice at the schools at points on their
divisions or whenever opportunity
affords.
The talks will be upon all
branches of railroad service and will
be given as often as desired. 1t is
believed that, with this information,
the scboolboy will have an oppor-
tunity, not only to learn something
about railroad service, but 10 dis
cover his natural bent.
1t may be that his railroad know
ledge Is confined to mechanics or
operation, whereas, if he had a
glimpse of traffic, be would dis
cover that 1t appealed to him as of
greater interest and he could be
guided accordingly.
The FRISCO Man, the magazine of
the Frisco railroad, will at an early
date, begin the publication of a
short catechism on everything IN
the railroad service from locomo.
tives to tariffs.
These will be placed at the dispo-
sal of the superintendents of the
different divisions who will give
them to the boys who may be inter.
ested.
1t is believed by doing this that
the number of raw recruits will be
greatly reduced, the work of select
ION will be lessened, and the time
lost n fitting round pegs in square
holes will be diminished; that the
Frisco will gain the services of new
employees who will have some know
ledge of railroad service, and will
also be a further gamer IN the fact
that those who are employed live in
and are acquainted with It's terri
