STANDARDIZATION ONLY
FAIR TO MOTORISTS
Maxwell Official Tells Why 1917 Cars
viii Not Be Changed.

Because, it is not fair to owners of
previous models, is one of the several
reasons given by the Maxwell Motor
Company for announcing that the
Maxwell car will not be changed, that
tie Maxwell car for the 1917 ssasor
will be exactly the same as the pres
ent car.
Owners are beginning to realize
that it is altogether unnecessary and
not justified at all, to buy new car
every year or so just because the de-
signing engineer happened to have
some new ideas that he believed would
attract few more, buyers" This is
the statement Of Walter E. Flanders,
President of the Maxwell Company.
He adds further: "The public wants
value, with good appearance, of
course, but they realize today that
freakishness in design does not mean
scrvice-value.
'"They realize that designing in
motor cars can be standardized Just
as we'll as construction. The well de-
signed motor car of today presents a
| pleasing appearance, and one that
does not tire. might say that it is
ideal, and there can be no good reason
for changing it, thereby rendering the
former models obsolete, or undesirable
from the standpoint of the particular
buyer.
"out of one hundred thousand
owners, we have had no more than you
can count on the fingers of your hands
offer any criticism on the Maxwell de-
sign. They are satisfied, and they are
pleased all the more when they know
that their cars are the same as will be
sold next year and the year following.
"Of course, we will occasionally add
new refnements, and features which
will be developed from time to time.
But these will not in any way consti-
tute radical changes in the car

WOULD KNOCK HIGH
CONVENTION HERE

Atlanta, Ca, July 1.-The nom
mating convention will be abolished as
an unnecessary appendage of the DEM
ocratic primaries of Georgia if the leg
islature passes a bill introduced by
Representative, of Muscogee, as
substitute for a bill which a committee
of the house has prepared as a SUD
stitute for his original bill to reform
the primary laws of the state.
The committee substitute is agreed
to by Representative Neill and practi-
cally all of its provisions are embodied
in the substitute which he has pre-
pared, while his new bill embodies nu-
merous features not contained in the
committee substitute.
Nominating conventions in Georgia
have been pretty much the same sort
of performance they have been in
ether states. They constitute a per-
fectly efficient piece of machinery for
nominating candidate other than the
one the people voted for. A nominal
ing convention is always controlled by
1.-THE professional politicians, and they
have habit of choosing their candi-
date without regard to the way the
votes were cast.
In the primary reform bills nov
pending before the legislature, the
county unit rule is required in all
primaries for state house officials ard
United States senators; the second
Wednesday in September is fixed as
the date for holding all such primar-
les and the unit vote af the counties
- lVd Gu " D6 COUSOl1udJ6u W1J0lQ
fifteen days after the primary.
The candidate receiving the major.
ity of county unit votes is automati-
cally made the nominee of the prinl-
airy. Where two candidates tie for
the popular vote of a county, the unit
vote of that county is to be equally d.
vided between them in the consolida-
ton. Where a candidate fails to re-
ceive a majority of county unit votes
there shall be a second primary on
the first Wednesday in October in
which only the two leading candidates
are eligible to participate.

AUTOS WILL Do FULL
PART FOR THE WAR

Automobiles are going to play a
most important part in the war now
pending between this country and
Mexico. Already they are being
used very extensively for transport
ing troops and conveying supplies into
the interior 1t is very gratifying to
note that the manufacturers stand
ready to aid the government in every
way possible, it being stated that the
automobile manufacturers of the Unit
ed States are prepared to furnish the
government on short notice nine hur-
bred motor trucks and one thousand
passenger automobiles a day, says
Alfred Reeves, general manager of
the national automobile chamber Of
commerce.
Mr.. Reeves says this information
was given to the war department at a
recent melting of the advisory board
to the general staff of the army. The
automobile manufacturers were told
that this offer should be sufficient to
meet any emergency.
80 far as the automobile makers
are concerned they stand ready to
stop shipping anywhere to take care
of our country's needs" said NJ.
Reeves. "This means that any part Of
production runningI to fifteen hun
dred thousand motor vehicles year
can be diverted to the use Of the
United States. I do not think that
any demands the war department may
make on us Will interfere with the
ability Of the, industry to take care Of
private requirements.

THIS STOPS HAIR
FROM FALLING OUT

Ever count the dead hairs in your
comb and brush? They are natures
warning OF future badness and proof
that the dangerous dandruff germ is
busy on your scalp.
DR.. Sangerbund, the famous Paris
specialist, first discovered that dan
druff and falling hair are caused by
a microbe Then came the discovery
of the value of real Partisan Sage
Qiquid FORM in destroying the dan
druff germ and promptly preventing
the further loss of hair. The effect
of only three days use of Partisan
Sage is simply marvellous, and the
American people have now awakened
TO the fact that they can be quickly
rid of dandruff and save their hair
by using Partisan Sage.
Partisan Sage is sold by English
Drug Co. and good druggists every
where. It's inexpensive, daintily per-
fumed, free from sickness, and will
surely cause hair to grow soft, lus-
trous and really seem twice as album
dant.

Mexican-American Commission Sub
init Agreement For Ratification.

A protocol providing for the condi-
tional withdrawal of the American
troops now in chihuahua. Mexico,
and for the military control of the
border, but with the supplemental
stipulation that United States troops
shall be sent into Mexico in pursuit of
bandits any time the American gov
eminent deems ii necessary, was
signed al Atlantic City Friday by the
joint commission.
One copy was taken by Alberto j.
PAM OF the Mexican commission. who
has started for Queretaro TO submit
IL TO General Carranza for approval.
The other copy was delivered to the
American government by Secretary
of the Interior Lane. chairman OF the
American commission.
II the protocol is ratified by the two
governments. the commission viii
convene again on December s. TO re-
sumo the discussion of other ques-
tions affecting the two countries, es-
pecially those related TO the protee-
tion OF life and property of Ameri-
cans and other foreigners in Mexico.
II ratification by either government is
withheld. the work of the conference
will be declared at an end.
The following is a paraphrase OF
the agreement:
'First-The American troops now
in Chihuahua, commanded by Gen
eral John ]. PerShing. shall be with
drawn within 40 days from the sign
ing OF the protocol by the respective
governments. provided that within
that time the conditions in that part
of Mexico have not become such as
10 endanger the American border. In
such event the time shall be extend
ed.
"Second-The Mexican army shall
patrol the Mexican side of the border
and the American army the American
side, put this shall not preclude CO.
operation between the two forces TO
preserve peace upon the border
"Third-It shall be left TO the COM
handing officers of the armies on the
border OF both nations to enter into
such arrangements for cooperation
in operations against bandits when
ever it is possible.
The right of the American gov
eminent TO send troops across the
border in pursuit of bandits was not
Incorporated in the protocol, but was
made the subject of supplemental
memorandum The Mexicans had
contended earnestly against signing
any agreement in which they appear
ed to sanction what they termed the
violation of their national territory.
1t was the agreement of the Ameri-
cans finally TO content themselves
with stating the attitude of the Unit
ed States in separate memorandum
that induced the Mexieans TO sign
the agreement"

Why Republicans Oppose Him.

The discomfort against LaFollette
and the domination of his faction has
two forms of expression: First, that
of the tax payers of the state against
fearful extravaganza that has prevail
ed in all branches of the state govern
ment. The La Folletteites saddled upon
the state a most expensive system for
the conduct of our public affairs.
Not only does it cost enormously to
carry it on but through the laws that
have been enacted vicious interior
ence with the conduct of business has
been established, and there is no prae-
tical benefit coming to the people in
return. The business men of the state
are CALLED and chafed constantly by
the eXactions that are placed upon
them. The other form of discomfort
with La Toilette is political. He OBJ
tanned his election as governor and then
as u. S. Senator by claiming to be
republican and promising honest fealty
to republican principles. His course
in the senate shows that he has had no
intention whatever of carrying out that
romise. He has been persistent op-
ponent of the republican organization
in the senate ever since he took his
seat. He opposed the election of Taft
as bitterly as the most partisan demo-
crat. The republicans of Wisconsin
have been without representation in
the senate so far as he is concerned
ever since he went there. He profess
ed in the earlier days of his course to
be believer in the doctrine of protec-
tive tariff but when the time came to
show his fealty he deserted the repub-
icans and voted for the Wilson Under
wood or free trade tariff law. He has
obtained his present position by false
2pretense as republican. He has new
er worked with the republican party in
anything.
Is it to be wondered at that such dis
regard for all that is square and honor
able in party action should breed wide
spread discomfort? And now he is at
his old game again still fighting the re-
publican party in the senate. He turns
upon the republican governor of the
state and with all his black record be-
hind him, he proposes to go before the
national republican convention as
candidate for the presidency. Was
there ever an example of political
treachery and inconsistency like it?-

WHEN in our wisdom, the United
States went pellmell to the support OF
the conservation movement a few years
ogo, we roade the peculiarly American
mistake of going so far that we locked
up our best water powers, thereby de-
priving them from their industrial
value, which was rad for industry and
commerce. AS a result, the foreign
countries swept ahead of us in produc-
ing cheap fertilizers, and the American
farmer suffered from gradually increas-
ing prices. Cheap fertilizers for the
American farmer are now promised by
two bills now before congress. While
American business enterprise now
stanCs ready to establish water power
industries necessary to nitrate produc-
ton, and thereby eventually cut fertil-
izer prices, they are prevented, be-
cause, as Senator Shields says, our
country is ''bound and chained by ar
chaic laws and conditions created be-
fore the invention of the steam turbine
or the discovery of these new sciences
and industries. Therefore the United
States is paying millions of dollars
year for its nitrates. Chile is receiving
$21 1000 a day as tribute for Uncle
Sans neglect to utilize our own great
resources, and the American farmer is
footing the bill. The development of
the water power industry in Europe.
reached the point where 1900, 900 wat
er horse power was utilized for nitro
gen extraction, before the war, while
the United States with its 61,000,000
horse power available, is not using
single horse power for the above pur-
pose. On the other hand Canada has
been pulling the industry across the
border and on their side of Niagara
Falls there is a great institution, which
was turned away from the United
States, on account of our obsolete laws.

A MILWAUKEE, friend calls our atten-
ton to mistaken view in our editor
ial relating TO the election of supreme
court Judge, where we suggest that we
should elect a democrat at this time,
for the purpose of keeping our court
nonpartisan, is based upon misap-
prehenslon of fact, for four judges,
namely Winslow, Timlin, Siebecker
and Kerwin were all of the democratic
faith at the time of their election to
that forum. ''Why their party faith
should be impugned at this time and
accredited to the opposite party, is be-
yond my comprehension" he writes.
ITO keep the court nonpartisan we
should at this time elect a republican,
that would give the republicans four
justices and the democrats three. I'm
der normal conditions fair-minded men
will concede this a republican state.
This being true the republicans should
have majority of the court. Some
time this political hydrophobia will
subside and there will be sane endeav
or to re-establish representative gov
eminent in Wisconsin, which has been
destroyed by legislative enactment and
judicial construction.

OWING to the shortage of seed corn
caused by unfavorable growing condl-
tions last season, Gov. Phillip Monday
night issued proclamation designat-
ing the week from March q to April l
as seed corn week, and urged that dur
ing such period every corn grower
thoroughly test each ear of his seed
corn and keep for planting only those
ears showing high termination. The
failure of one ear of seed corn, con-
tanning 800 kernels, means loss of 300
ears in crop, or eight bushels, worth
about 81.
