morality. With saloonkeepers as
chaperons. with long intermissions be-
tween dances for the sale of drinks
and not drop OF water available,
with liquor so accessible that 1t is al
most impossible for the victims to
resist, the so-called places of recrea-
ton are veritable hot-beds of vice.
Because the saloonkeeper lives and
thrives by the sale of liquor boys and
girls are being lured into these halls,
demoralized in mind and body and
rendered useless to themselves and to
society. Because the saloonkeeper

society sustains each year vast loss
in efficiency of its members, in large
measure reduces the class from which

Because the saloonkeeper lives and
thrives by the sale of liquor the tax
payer each year is compelled to pay
exorbitant taxes to meet the expenses
of police courts, criminal courts, poor
houses, asylums. jails and peniten-

Again and again we have read of
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by this or that medicine
But Richmond's pertinent question has
always been Has anyone here in Rich
mond been cured?" The word of
stranger living a hundred miles away
may be true, but it cannot have the
same weight with US as the word of our
own citizens, who m we know and re-
spect, aud whose evidence we can so
easily prove.

THE BATTLE Of
The TIRES

agricultural and Commercial Press servicel
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 to
be the liveliest contest of the Tween
tieth Century.
The struggle is a silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con-
fict but the results are more far
reaching to present and future gen.
erations than the war of Europe
The rubber tire has been maneuver-
ing for point of attack for several
years and has captured few unim-
portant positions in traffic, but it has
now pitched a decisive battle with
it's iron competitor by hurting a mil
lion "jitneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result of the
struggle depends the future of the
treat, its doom is sealed, but if it wins
the battle it will revolutionize the
transportation methods of this nation
If the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic its 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 it was 1869
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands of
steel. 1t took the iron tire fifty-five
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
public highway.
But iron is a 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 recov-
cry.
The rubber tire first made it's ap-
pearance on the bicycle, but it proved
frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. 1t has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as a 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 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 city? 1t will traverse the con
tinent with a net work of Macadam
highways as beautiful as-the boule
ward built by Napoleon. 1t will par
alyze the law making bodies of this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on?

your State Agricultural College, are pre-
pared TO furnish information regarding
The construction of simple, practical and

A boW-shot from her boVer-eaves,
He road between the barley-sheaves,
The sun came dazzling thro' the leaves,
And famed upon the brazen greaves
Of bold Sir Lancelot.
A red-cross knight for ever kneepd
To lady in his shield,
That sparkled on the yellow field,
Beside remote ShaloIt
The gemmy bride glitter'd free,
Like to some branch of stars we see
Hung in the golden Galaxy
The bride bells rang merrily
AS he rode down to Camelot:
And from his blazon'd baldric slune
A mighty silver bugle hung,
And as he rode his armor rune,
Beside remote Shalott
All in the blue unclouded weather
Thick-jewelPd shown the saddle leather,
The helmet and the helmet-feather
Burn'd like one burning flame together,
AS he rode down to Camelot
As often thro' the purple night,
Below the starry clusters bright,
Some bearded meteor trailing light,
Moves over still Shalott.
His broad clear brow in sunlight glowd;
On burnish'd hooves his war-horse trode;
From underneath his helmet f1ow'd
His coalblack curls as on he rode,
AS he rode down to Camelot
From the bank and from the river
He f1ash'd into the crystal minor,
'Tirra lirra,' by the river
Sang Sir Lancelot.

An abbot on an ambling pad,
Sometimes curly shepherd-lad,
Or long-hair'd page in crimson clad,
Goes by to tower'd Camelot:
And sometimes thro' the mirror blue

She hath no loyal knight and true,
The Lady of Shalott.
But in her web she still delights
To weave the mirrors magic sights,
For often thro' the silent nights
A funeral, with plumes and lights
And music, went to Camelot:
Or when the moon was overhead,
Came two young lovers lately wed;

In the stormy eastwind straining,
The pale yellow woods were waning.
The broad stream in his banks complaining
Heavily the low sky raining
Over tower'd Camelot;
Down she came and found a boat
Beneath willow left afloat,
And round about the Prov she wrote
The Lady of Shalott.
And down the rivers dim expanse
Like some bold seer in a trance,
Seeing all his own mischance-
With a CLASSY contenance
Did she look to Camelot.
And at the closing of the day
She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore here far away,
The Lady of Shalott.
Lying, robed in snowy white
That loosely flew to left and right
The leaves upon her falling light
Thro' the noises of the night
She floated down to Camelot:
And as the boat-head wound along
The willowy hills and fields among,
They heard her singing her last song,
The Lady of Shalott.
Heard a carol, mournful, holy,
Chanted loudly, chanted lowly,
Till her blood was frozen slowly,
And her eyes were darken'd wholly,
Turn'd to tower'd Camelot
For ere she reach'd upon the tide
The first house by the water-side,
Singing in her song she died,
The Lady of Shalott
Who is this? and what is here?
And in the lighted palace near
Died the sound of royal cheer;
And they cross'd themselves for fear,
All the knights at Camelot:
But Lancelot unused a little space;
He said, She has lovely face,
God in his mercy lend her grace;

On either side the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the void and meet the sky;
And thro the field the road runs by
To manytower'd Camelot;
And up and down the people 60,

Or at the easement seen her stand?
Or is she known in all the land,

Only reapers, reapng early
In among the bearded barley,
Hear song that echoes CHEEKY

And little other care hath she,

Winding down to Camelot
