WILSON A PROGRESSIVE
BEFORE PARTY WAS BORN

Eighteen months before the
birth of the Progressive Party,
Woodrow Wilson, then Cover
nor of New Jersey, gave this
definition of a Progressive and
so classified himself in an ad-
dress before the Kansas Society
of New York, January 20, 1911:
"By Radical understand
one who goes too far, by
Conservative one who does
not 90 far enough; by Re-
dictionary one who won't
go at all. ! suppose ! must
be a Progressive, which
take to be one who insists
on recognizing new facts,
adjusting policies to facts
and circumstances as they
arise.'
Under Democratic influences
during the six-year period since
standpatlsm was overthrown in
the House of Representatives In
1910, ninety per cent Of the pro-
gram of reform advocated by
the Progressive Party has been
enacted into law. Invisible

When asked about various rumors, and especially one that was current last week in automobile circles, to the ef- feet that the Rec Motor Truck com pany had just received an order for 1000 trucks from one of the belliger- ent nations, Sales Manager R. c. Rueschaw replied: We not only did not accept the order but we are not looking for business from those coun- tries at this time.
 "We feel that good business policy dictates that we take care of our home trade before going after the other, and with our present factory facilities we find it absolutely impossible to catch up with the domestic demand for motor trucks.
 "The truck business has gone by leaps and bounds during the last year and it seems as if at least this branch of the automobile industry, to the de- velopment of which we have all look eG forward, is finally coming into it's own.
 Why, we ship more motor trucks in week now than we used to ship in year and still the orders come faster than we can make the trucks.
 Undoubtedly the European demand worked beneficially for the truck busi- ness in two ways
 Tn the first place, it enabled many manufacturers to go into the truck business on a larger scale than ever before, and the performance of Amer ican trucks in Europe demonstrated as nothing else could, their sturdiness and reliability

ANDERSON LOOKS FOR BE BUSINESS
 FOR YEAR OF 1916
The Studebaker Distributor Says This Year Will Be a Record Breaker in
 Birmingham

Joe Anderson of the Anderson Motor company, distributors for the Stude- baker, in reviewing the business for the year of 1915 said:
 'The year of 1915 has been looked on by a great many automobile dealers as one of the worst in the history of the business during the past year than 1 anticipated. I am free to confess that [ may not have had as prosperous year had it not been for the Studebaker Cor poration introducing some wonderful models at the lowest prices Upon the announcement by the Studebaker corpora tion of it's six-cyinder, seven-passenger car at price less than $11OO I knew that 1 would not have a great deal Of trouble selling this popular model.
 From the automobile factorys s stand point this has not been bad year. The allies have bought thousands of automo- piles of all types for use on the battle fields in Europe. This, with the gradual adjustment of the United States, to the changed conditions forced on us by the European war, helped all to weather the bad times until light of brighter day appeared on the horizon.
 With the coming of 1916 there will be more business for the automobile dealers all over the country, especially in Bir- mngham, where all the industries are running full time. I look for the year of 1916 to be the most prosperous for the automobile men in the history of the business"

had been hesitating for a long time about discarding the slow, expensive horse equipment and installing motor trucks finally made the plunge.
 Tt is interesting to note that even the largest houses usually go into the business gingerly-buying one or two at first, and after carefully trying them out, ordering d whole fleet of them.
 Look at any of the metropolitan dailies and you will see advertisements indicating that various large concerns are cleaning out their entire horse equipment
 ''In many cases you will notice that they are offering to rent one-half or three quarters of the old stables. This is more significant than may ap pear on the surface. It indicates that the truck equipment is sufficient to do all the work that was formerly done by the horses and actually occupies only one-third to one-half of the space that was required for the horses.
 '"The incest part of the truck busl- ness is the repeat order feature and that is what we Reo folk are now rev. cling in. It is poor day when we do not receive an order for fleet of trucks, ranging anywhere from five to <), from some concern to whom a year or so ago we sold one or two trucks.

 "Already we are wondering whether even this big addition to our plants will enable us to catch up with the domestic demand; so you see we are moi out after foreign business"

The property holders on the First ave- nue road in West End had to pay the city it's assessment on the wretched road built by it few years ago. It IS an utter im possibility for anyone to ride over the road with the finest springs that are made without getting a headache, unless one happens to be content to jog along at a rate of two miles hour. How long are the people going to sit idle and see money wasted on the most promtive type of roads?
 Some of the property holders who did not possess the wherewithal to pay the city for something that did the property holders no good, had their homes sold at public outcry. No use to blame the city, it had to collect what was paid by It to the people who built the road according to contract, but it is time to take steps to prevent such an infamous occurrence in road building in the future.

"Ice Is EOOd'

From the St. Joseph Gazette.
 Of course "ice is food in Kansas" as the attorney general of that state an nounces in a recent ruling on the sub ject. Ice is food everywhere else in America, too, as anybody knows who has seen the small boy or girl glee- fully grab d splinter and convert it into an all-d day sucker while it lasted.
 There is a peculiar joy in eating ice Really, nothing else in the line of food consuming quite compares to it. There are refreshments which bite back, and some with a delicious thrill-to say nothing of a few which possess kick that is a caution. But ice is all this, yet different. You cant eat 1t very rapidly, although you feel the neces- sity of doing so because it is melting in your eager grasp. It chills While It delights-you squeal with happiness while you shriek with frigidity and in the same breath. And as you munch your little chunk of congelation, some body else slips a silver down your back so that you are iced within and With out, like a modern theatre with cool ing system. And as you flip your frag- ment from one grimy paw to the other, meanwhile trying to wriggle away from the avalanche coursing down your back. the bliss you experience is of the kind so aptly described as "something different"
 Yes. ice is food It always has been since boys and girls came across the first shattered piece in the street where the iceman of Eden or those carly Chaldean cities or somewhere else in long ago made history, had been chopping off } cents worth for an economical customer And it always will be food, we ween until the in ventiveness of a more modern age makes humanity self-icing by birth. and spells a lot of fun that we Of this age recall so happily.

The longshoremen OF Cordova
