HIS MOTHER CAME FIRST

: While the mobilization OF a
certain Illinois regiment was
under way women in the persons
of relatives and friends OF the
guardsmen focked to the camp
in such numbers that necessary
work was hampered. There
upon, it is reported, the colonel
issued orders that only one
woman should be allowed to visit
each member of the regiment.
One of the guardsmen, not yet
knowing of the order, approach
ed the camp in company with
his mother. a sister and his
finance. The guard stopped the
party and sternly asked who the
women we're. When told ne
answered:
'You can take in only one.
It's up to you to choose. ;"
The young man looked for a
moment at the three and then
said, Mother.
When war is in the air human
ity gets down to fundamentals,
and when this is done mother
will never get the worst OF 1t.
We do not believe that the young
guardsmen will make a worse
husband than if he had chosen
his sweetheart. A man who can
appreciate his mother may be
expected to take good care OF
his wife. Rochester Democrat

SURPRISING AUTOMOBILE
FIGURES

There, is reason for optimism in
the automobile industry. The
estimates of the men in the trade
show that on January 1. next
there will be one motor-car for
every Is Of the inhabitants of the
United States. These figures
however are made less impressive
by comparison with the record of
January this year when there was
one automobile for so few as
every A Of the population. tits
assumed by the statisticians that
1,500, 900 cars will be built during
1916, and by adding these to the
total number is brought up to
3,945, 664, or practically one for
every Is inhabitants.
The amount invested in auto
mobiles is enormous, $4,000, 900,
900 estimated. And it is prob
able that in a year or two the cars
in daily use will represent much
more than 100000 900, for
prices are being lowered while
quality is improved. Manufac-
turers believe that the CAPACITY
of the country is IL, 900, 900 auto
mobiles. This may seem high,
but perhaps the popularity of the
motor driven conveyances has
not been overestimated. In any
event. the people appear to be
able and willing to use many more
cars than are now running. The
exceptional combination of utility
and pleasure makes a strong
appeal. Providence Journal.

A Republican national victory
would mean reactionary Senate
with the reactionary Fairbanks
as its presiding officer. 1t would
mean that the important chair,
manships will be held by Penrose,
Smoot, Gallinger and that bunch.
They would have absolute control
OF the government. What say
the Progressives? Some of their
leaders may be reconciled to such
a possibility. but hardly the
honest masses Of the betrayed
organizations.
