She basked In the brides love as one

and even dimly to understand the
meaning of the tiny coffin that stood
within the narrow room next TO the
chamber In which the young husband
kneeled beside his wife. And the

lips.

stricken mother. nesting against her

Perhaps she did comfort her, for

THE BATTLE Of
THE TIRES

Agricultural ana Commercial Press ssrvicef
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.
there are no war correspondents 70
write vivid descriptions Of the con-
nict 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 4 few unim-
portant positions In trafiic. but it has
now pitched a decisive battle with
its iron competitor by hurting a mil
Hon '.titneys" at the street railways
and the battle In raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result Of the
struggle depends the future Of the
rubber tire. IL II is compelled to re-
treat. Its doom Ia sealed. but IL Il wins
the battle It viii revolutionize the
transportation methods Of this nation.
II the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic Its next struggle In with
the railroads of the country. and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
OF this earth Ii on, for iron Ia the un.
disputed master In transportation. and
In fortified behind billions OF dollars,
and millions OF men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail In 1914. but It was 1863
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point. which bound
the country together with bands Of
steel. 1t took the iron tire fifty-ive
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 Uiys-
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 q stubborn metal and
1t 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 huris its
full force against this monarch Of
the Mineral Kingdom. II may rebound

The rubber tire first made its ap.
pearance on the bicycle. but Il proved
q frivolous servant and was dismissed

But TO those who care to watt into

that there will be a marvellous differ.

dcta was the most restless. Theo-
dota was not her name: IL means
simply Cod given" and names are
useless In heaven, where the souls
recognize each other by thought trans

which she was subsequently to be.

She wandered to and fro. taking no
more pleasure In the quiet contempla-
ton OF joys so unutterably divine that
the most pure and ardent imagination
upon earth fails to begin TO compre-
hend them. She wandered 10 and fro
restlessly, seeking counsel of wiser

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
glaring at each other over CULTS Of
Misunderstanding and II the Federal
Industrial Commission attempts to
bridge the chasm, II will render the
public a distinct service.
The farmer has been sitting on the
fence watching capital and labor fight
for many years and incidentally furn-
ishing the sinews of war and IL In
quite gratifying to find them talking
with. instead Of about, each other.
When honest men smile and look into
each others souls. Il 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 10 IN
arbiter far more powerful than the
mandates Of government. for there is
no authority quite 10 commanding an
an honest conscience; there is no de-
cree quite 90 binding a. that of the
Supreme Court Of Common Sense and
no sheriff can keep the peace quite 30
perfect as Understanding.
We suppose the time win never
come when capital and labor win not
be occasionally blinded by the light
ming flashes Of avarice or frightened
by the thunder peals OF discomfort.
But Understanding In q 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 1t are the hope. ambition
and opportunity Of himself. and fam
lily. but there is nothing In q human
heart quite SO divine as Justice and
Understanding is its handmaiden-
