THE FINEST CARRIAGE.

IN the hen year, ago column Of the Times, yesterday
reference was made to local citizen who Mad departed
Tor the east to purchase fine automobile Before starting
on ms trip he remarked that the thought the automobile
was the proper carriage now
At that time the motor was something OF a curos-
liy IN this city Now have several thousand, the
amount Of money nycsst in Oklahoma City automobiles
probably reaches several million dollars and the industry
is yet new.
In the United States it said that more than 100000
automobiles arc in use Just how many being operated
in 1901 when the Oklahoma City man decided to become
motors is not known but cars were few and lar be
tween.
No industry has shown the growth that can compare
with the development OF the automobile business And
no man darcs predict what the gain will be in the nest

one OF the characters is convict In the dialogue
of one act the former prisoner talking to police officer
says something like TIN, "lou officers OF the law are keen
to watch two conyicts who may be talking together on
corner You feel certain ,nat the two men are
plotting crime You cannot comprehend that the two
men talk OF the bright sunshine the delight Of being
free and tho pleasure OF again walking with fellow men
All policemen do not hold to that view Some OF them
do since they eager protect the people who keep
them in public position Very likely there are few cx
trcme and 1t is known that every police officer in the
land IS ready to help up If that indicates
desire to be part ot a law abiding citizenship.
Prison methods of today unlike those OF the past
decade The idea IS TO make MEN Of the unfortunate
fellows who find their through the great gates and into
the enclosures behind grim gray walls. While there may
be many unworthy among the inmates OF the penal nS-
