The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1916-10-06

Recently number of other designers
have applied to other cars a similar
thought by throwing out the ancient
impression of the dash and drawing
a beautiful, natural straight line from
radiator to cowl edge.
There is every reason in efficiency,
in appearance, in naturalness and in
cidentally in cost to believe that from
now. on the straight flowing line will
continue. Before very many years
car with the ugly curves in the cowl
representing the idea dash will look
as strange to US as one of the occas-
ional antiques which one sees in the
country with a rear door entrance.
The dash has passed and with it the
last remaining vestige of horse
vehicle design in America.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1916-10-06

hood begins and where the cowl ends.
This break in the line, inartistic and
costly represents all that is left of the
dash and shows how difficult it is to
get rid of a subconscious idea until
you can dig it out into the light and
recognize it for what it is.
Several years ago the writer in
working out the design of car which
has since become well known and sold
in great quantities, conceived the
starting idea of eliminating the dash
entirely.
In other words a straight line was
of the radiator to the upper rear cor
ner of the cowl. The design was not
then used, but in designing the super
structure of the Briscoe 4-24, this
idea was again taken up and adopted.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1916-10-06

Wood or sheet metal hoods were then
designed to cover these tanks and
pipes and the first hood had its birth.
The single cylinder Cadillac was
probably the second car made in COM
mercial quantities and the first model
of this car has a sort of double dash
which comes to point at the top,
wide at the bottom, with a hole cut in
the lower part of the front in which
a chunky radiator was inserted.
The writer had the honor of work
ing out with the early Cadillac design
ers on the first Cadillac hood, which
was practically horizontal and with
an ornamental opening in front for a
flat vertical radiator so that the whole
effect, through a make-believe, was a
suggestion of the present design.
Soon after that the original Maxwell
Briscoe came out with a brand new
and surprising novelty, namely a
motor in front under the hood. 1t
was a llOilLOHIctl lllOIOl SCI CIOSSWlSc
in the frame necessitating numerous
humps and eXcrescences in the hood
in order to cover the various pro-
jections on the motor. Very soon
after this the four cylinder vertical
motor became standard, bringing into
use more gracefully designed hood
with radiator in front.
1t is curious to note how the idea
of the old horse vehicle dash had it's
roots deeply ingrained in the subcon-
seriousness of the designer. In spite
OF the fact that the motor car with
the advent of the vertical motor has
no more use for a dash than it has for
whip socket or a tongue, the YES
tiges of the dash have remained
almost to this day in every motor car.
"A partition between the motor and
front seat is necessary, but this is
merely a partition and has ceased to
be dash. To the rear of this par
tition has been carried the cowl for
the purpose of protecting the instru-
ments as well as the passengers feet.
Thus there has also been a sort of
a reverse curve from the cowl to the
hood distinctly marking where the

"REMINISCENCES OF
EARLY AUTOMOBILES
Kidding the Motor Car of
last fcatrue inherited
from horse drawn
carriages

The first motor cars built were
merely buggies with the motor swung
under them. The force of tradition
and subconscious point of view is so
strong that the designer in planning
his automobile body could not think
of anything except his previous con-
ception of vehicles, which was a
buggy or carriage.
buggy as developed from long expert
ence is protecting shield in front
which serves to keep the mud off the
passengers and the horses tail from
switching about their legs. This was
called the dash.
Now one of the essentials of the
Pictures of the first automobiles
show in every case the typical buggy
dash. 1t would even be reasonable to
look for the whip socket on the first
automobile designs.
The first motor car to be made in
large quantities was the Curved dash"
Oldsmobile. This represented the
first step of the designer in getting
away from the buggy dash. AS the
conventional straight buggy dash
gave a dumpy appearance to the car
the original Oldsmobile designer con-
ceived the idea Of bringing the dash
around on the curve to present a more
swan-like appearance. Possibly also
this design with its tiller steering arm
first suggested the boat idea, which
has so strongly influenced body de-
signs ever since.
The next step was lengthening the
wheel base, which created a space in
front of the dash. AS the motor still
occupied its original position down
in the bowels of the vehicle under the
body, this space in front was at first
filled up with various tanks and nat
.urally the radiator was placed there.

WHY HUGHES is NEEDED IN
THIS TREMENDOUS CRISIS.

Against Mr.. Wilson's combina-
ton of grace in elocution with
futility in action; against his
record of words unbacked by
deeds or betrayed by deeds, we
set Mr.. Hughes rugged and un-
compromising straightforward
ness of character and action in
every office he has held. We put
the man who thinks and speaks
directly, and whose words have
always been made good, against
the man whose adroit and facile
elocution is used TO conceal his
plans or his want Of plans. The
next four years may well be
years of tremendous national
strain. Which of the two men
do you, the American people,
wish at the helm during those
!. four years; the man who has
i been actually tried and found .
wanting, or the man whose
whole career In public office is
guarantee of his power and
good faith? But one answer is
possible; and 1t must be given by
the American people throughout
the United States.-From speech
Of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, de-
livered at Lewiston, Maine, In
behalf Of Charles +. Hughes.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1916-10-06
EMPTY PHRASES INSTEAD
OF CONCRETE ACTION.

Not once has President Wilson
squarely placed before the Am
erican people the question which
Abraham Lincoln put before the
American people in 1860; what
Is our duty? Not once has he
appealed to moral idealism, to
the stern enthusiasm of strong
men for the right. On the con-
trary, he has employed every
Evolutionary device. to lull to
sleep our sense Of duty, to make
US content with words instead
Of deeds, to make our moral
idealism and enthusiasm evap-
crate in empty phrases instead
Of being reduced to concrete
action.-From the speech Of Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, delivered at
Lewiston, Maine, in behalf Of
Charles e. Hughes.

THE NEUTRALITY
OF PONTIUS PLATE.

But as soon as the need for
deeds arose, Mr.. Wilson forgot
all about 1.-The principle he held
dear" He promptly announced
that we SHOULD be neutral in
fact as well as in name, in thought
as well as in action" between
the small, weak, unoffending ma
ton and the'large, strong nation
which was rObbing it of its SOW
ereignty and independence. Such
neutrality has been compared to
the neutrality of Pontius PLATE.
This is unjust to Pontius PLATE,
who at least gently urged mod

dore Roosevelt, delivered at

Editorial Comments.

The Democrats continue TO Ignore
Mr.. Hughes speeches to the extent
that all they do is to sputter and gasp.
Let it be conceded there are really
strong grounds for the opinion that
President Wilson may carry Texas
next November. If these indications
are taken at their full worth, some
enthusiasts will soon be going out to
bet that the tide will sweep on until
Mississippi and Alabama are also en-
rolled in the Democratic column.
Many big Democrats willing and
ready TO speak for Wilson are care
full that their money shall not say any
thing Oh his side.
President Wilson says he is utter
ly Indifferent as to his reelection.
Perhaps that explains good many
things nobody has heretofore been
able to understand.
Help me, CasSius, or l sink y For
"Cassius" read Congress"
The notion seems to be that the
Democratic national chairman is claim
ing more than he will get, but not any
more than he will need.
AS further evidence that he Is warm
hearted and intensely human, Mr..
Hughes likes apple pie.
No man is going to be elected-or
re-elected-to high office by votes
gained from States rights declara-
lions this late In the game. The
States rights question was settled
some fifty years ago to the evident
satisfaction Of considerable major
ity.-Kansas City Star.
Adequate preparedness is not mill
tarism. 1t Is the essential assurance
OF security. II is a necessary safe
guard of peace" Candidate Hughes
has left nothing to be said on this
subject. He has snuffed out counter
argument at the very outset.
Are we Americans a nation Of
bunglars?" asks the New York Sun.
1t would be very harsh to answer
this i'm the affirmative-and, anyway,
we elect Democratic president only
every once in a while.
Charles +. Hughes cannot get so far
away from Washington that the men
in charge of the chariot Of government
there do not feel the jolting of his
criticisms. In fact, the Democratic
leaders at the capital city show symp-
toms of sea-sickness from the way III
which the ex-justice Of the Supreme
court has shaken them up. Mr..
Hughes is pursuing the only proper
method which is first TO take the
deadwood out Of the way so that the
path to righteous and propitious gov
ernment may be made clear.

No, the Democratic party will not
be saved by the European war. II
you would know what our condition
will be when the war ends, think Of
what our condition was before that
war began, if you think these nations
are so impoverished that they cannot
again turn to work. Those millions
of men now fighting are better able
TO work than ever before in their
lives. Their factories are
there; their plants are there; they
know themselves better than ever be-
fore. They are better disciplined,
more alert, keener, stronger, better
physically than ever before, in the
main, and they are ready TO turn
great national energies into the pur-
suits OF peace to pay their war bills,
to produce up to the limit, TO send
their goods throughout the world.

If you are going to have the basis
for prosperity in this country; if you
are going to protect the American
wage scale; if you are going to have
American enterprise able to meet the
competition which will follow the end
ing Of this war, you must have an
honestly devised, wisely framed tariff
law to protect American industry.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1916-10-06

Then came the Underwood tariff
bill itself. What was the result? En-
terprise halted and there was con-
traction of trade throughout the land,
and America, instead of going ahead,
stopped. That is what happened.
Three hundred thousand were unem-
ployed in tile City Of New York.
There was not q city in this land
where the jobless man anxious and
able to work did not walk the street.
They were fed by our charitable or

utmost limit to provide for those for
whom American enterprise could no
longer make provision. 1t was sad
spectacle. Americans have not for
gotten II. 1t is not forgotten here
or anywhere. 1t cannot be forgotten.
1t is too recent.
