Mayor Thompson said:
Apparently as a people, we have
failed to profit by our own exper-
fence. The revolutionary war was
won by sheer audaeity and a renark-
able display OF nerve against tre-
mendous odds. The victory was no
more due to our ability than 10 our
opponents asininity.

both sides, because neither was prepared
for that Irrepressible conflict. Its re-
proach to us that We do not learn from
our own history.

over our alleged neutrality. but we cannot
hide the ugly fact that our people are

our rights in taking this business, but II

"A complication in our situation Is the
powerful and crafty neighbor that has
grown up In our west Some day. not
far distant, demands will be made upon
US from that quarter which we must re-
fuse. Shall we be able TO defend our
position? When that time comes, we
shall have to fight unless our defense is
made impregnable. We invite aggres-
sion by our helplessness."
The conference at its final business ses-
sion adopted resolutions declaring for

Omaha Distributor
For Saxon Car Lands
Seasons Contract

Once more Omaha has scored in
the eyes OF automobile manufac-
lures. This time the score Is in
giving the Omaha distributor, w. L.
Kiily Of the. Noyes-Killy Motor COM
pany, the FIRST distributor contract
written by the Saxon factory for the
1917 season. There are over ,OOO
distributing organizations handling
the Saxon throughout the United
States, and it is rather significant
that the Omaha distributor was given
the first audience with the man who
writes the contracts.
In speaking Of the work OF the sales
manager for the Saxon Motor COM
pany Mr.. Killy was quite enthusias-
tic. 1.-THE day OF contracting hit and
miss is over" said Mr.. Killy. THE
sales manager Of today has a world o.
tabulated information regarding each
section OF the country, and it is his
Job to know how many cars shouie
be sold in given territory. These
figures are based upon the wealth OF
community, the number OF farms, tht
per capita wealth OF the communit,
and the number OF cars sold in thu
territory in question during the pre-
ceding two years.
There are other basic factors, bu
in the main they are as above. In
stead of dealer telling the factor,
how many cars he can sell, the fac
tory shows the dealer cold figure
which indicate the number of car
which should be sold"

at does look like it," said the REQ
guide" As matter of fact Our sales
department tells US it is one of the
most economical features of our
plant. What seems to be extrava-
giant, in fact really proves to be very
cheap when it comes to selling the
productA-you know we make auto
mobiles to sell, not to keep.
Every REQ motor and every REQ
rear axle, every transmission, and
every chassis-each individual one
is subjected to the most rigid and
precise dynanometer test. Not only
the power of the motor, but the eff
ficiency OF the transmission mech

ed here and accurately recorded by
electrical instruments.
1T is not as extravagant as it looks,
however" continued the REQ man,
for if you will notice from each Of
these dyanometers runs set OF
wires, and if you will come over into
the next room / will show you where
we utilize power that is generated by
REQ motors tours and skies during
their several hours of test" In an ad-
joining room they found two big gen
orators. Here said the REQ man
you will see that we are generating
over $50 horsepower on an average
/ At times, it runs twice that Aside
from the slight loss in the lines, we
put all the power developed by fifty
or 100 motors, as the case may be
that are on the testing blocks, into
our lines and utilizes it to run the
factory. II all the motors were run
! ming to full capacity, of course, we
would generate good deal more, bu
our policy is to run the generator fol

gradually as it limbers up, increase
its speed and power output until We

BIG MOTOR TRUCKS

Increasing Use of Five Ton

lens in improvements.
HEAVIER BASES NEEDED

City Commissioner Jardine, who
has charge of the public improve
ments department, finds that the in
creasing use of the five-ton motor
truck and motor vehicles of slightly
less capacity is presenting new prob
lens in connection with paved thor
oughfares. The common four and
five-inch concrete base. will not stand
the racket, as is evidenced by a Sec
ton Of new pavement on Thirtieth

sioner. & sM t4...
The specifications for the North
Twenty-fourth street job call for a
five-inch base and the additional inch
will be paid for as an extra" All tu-
ture paving and repaving on the prin-
cipal streets will hereafter have heav-
Ter bases, and it is the intention oil
the public improvement department
to see that the dirt foundation is
we'll rolled before the base is laid
The annual expense Of repairing
paved streets is becoming matter oil
serious concern, particularly the as
phalt streets. 1t is being realized that
Il pays in the long run TO have sub.
stantial pavement in the first instance
and this conviction has been growing
on account of the increasing use o.
large automobile trucks. Some o.
these trucks are loaded with five tons
of material, and that is quite loac
for a pavement which was laid undel
the old order of affairs.
Contractors Want Men.

say they cannot get enough men

Lake Forest, with her on the morning
of Wednesday, February 9, last.
Orpet testified that he made the
trip to allay her fears and to explain
a story which had reached Marion
that he was engaged to one Celestia
Youker, but the elaborate efforts
which he made to keep the trip secret,
and his subsequent conflicting state
ments of it to officers Of the law de-
veloped into the most damaging evil
dence against him. 1t led to the
menacing question of Mr.. JoSlyn.
reiterated again and again-"Why?
Why? Why? Why did you come!
You brought no relief; you brought
no medicine; you brought no tender
ness-no words of love! Why did
you come"
On February 8, Orpet at Madison
left three letters, post-dated February
9, with his friend Otto Peterson to be
mailed on the latter date. One was
dated to be mailed on the latter
date. One was to his mother, one
to Marion, and the third to Mar on's
friend Josephine Davis. They were
worded to make it appear that the
writer was in Madison on February g,
the day he kept his tryst in the woods
with Marion, and she came to her
death.
Reason For Alibi Letters.
Orpet explained on the stand that
the alibi letters, as they came to be
known, were written so that if by &C
cident he were seen at Lake Forest
and word of the fact reached Marion S
parents, who objected to him, or his
own parents, who expected him to
remain faithful to college duties at
Madison, they would accept the let
tiers as conclusive evidence to the con-
trary The letter to Josephine was to
corroborate that to Marion. Jo-
sephine testified that she never re-
ceived it.
On the afternoon of the 9th, in a
dark overcoat which he said he had
borrowed to wear with a dress suit to
a party which he expected to attend
on the 18th, carrying the bottle of
molasses and water in his pocket. and
leaving behind him the alibi letters
and bed rumpled to deceive his land
lady, the student proceeded by way OF
Milwaukee, where he spent a hall
hour or so between trains, to Lake
Forest. Arriving there he arranged
by telephone to meet Marion on her
way to school the next morning
walked about for a while to make GER
tain that his parents had retired, and
entered the Mccormick garage where
he spent the night on a cot
In the morning he and Marion
met and walked through the snow
into the woods, Orpet testified thai
there was little conversation, and he
could recollect only the purport of it
He offered her the medicine" ant
she refused it. He started to leave
but she called him back and asked
if he was going to write to her any
more. He said there seemed to be nc
use Of it, and started away again.
