Is Urged BY Bryan In the
COmmoner.
WOULD NOT PERMIT VESSELS
Bearing Citizens Of This
Country To Get Clear
ance Or Land.
MENACES THE NATIONS PEACE

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 14.-W. ].
Bryan calls on Congress to enact
without delay a law which will pre-
vent American clearance or entry of
belligerent ships that carry Ameri-
can passengers.
Further, until such law is in eff
feet, he would restrain Americans
from travelling on such ships. A
signed editorial appearing in the
present issue of the Commoner con-
tains Mr.. Bryan's opinion of the
sinking of the Persia 1t says:
THE sinking of the Persia, which
has brought to our overburdened
President new embarrassment,
and to the lingo press a new oppor-
tunity to shed their red ink on i'm
aginary battlelields. calls for imme-
diate action by Congress-not a dec
laration of war, but a measure of
protection against war.
American citizens should not be
permitted to travel on belligerent
ships. Why should an American,
by his foolhardiness, drag his coun-
try into war or even to the verge of
diplomatic break? If he has no
consideration for his own safety or
for his Governments welfare, he
should be restrained by law.
What would we think of q citi-
Zen who, in time of riot, insisted on
mingling with the mob while the'
Mayor was trying to restore order?
Little attention would be paid to his
right to walk the streets at such Il
time.
"And so to-day, when the world
is in a riot, when Europe is a slau-
ghter house, and when the blood of
the slain reddens the sea beyond the
three-mile limit-this is no time for
Americans to talk about the ASSET
tion of rights in such a way IS to
menace the Nations peace. 1t is time
to consider duty to country and to
fellow citizens. And, since some are
either too blind or too unpat-
riOtic to do this, it is the duty of
Congress to act, and to act at once,
before new complications arise.
"The Captain of belligerent YES
sci may at any moment forfeit the
lives of many passengers by trying
to escape, of by making resistance.
Why should American citizens be
permitted to take such risks,
when they risk their Nations peace
as well as their own lives? This
nation is not seeking a cause for
war; then why permit few citizens
to supply material for sensational
papers?
"Belligerent ships should be de-
MED clearance or entry if they car
ry American passengers. That will
keep this country out of any con-
troversy that may hereafter be raised
by submarine warfare. But to make
certainty doubly sure, clearance and
entry should be denied to the pas
senger ships of neutral countries
including our own-if they carry
with passengers. Pas
sengers are entitled to the entire at
tention of the ships officers at
time like this. The thoughts of the
officers should not be diverted from
care of passengers to care of contra
band cargo.
Congress should act at once!"

Half the Cars Sold Here
Last Year
WERE PURCHASED BY FARMERS
Total Direct Expenditure For
Upkeep Last Year Was
$577,00O.0OO.
OVER 2,OOO,OOO CARS IN USE

Fully one-half of the cars sold in
the United States during the last
year were bought by farmers. In
the four years from 1911 to 1914
the number of cars registered liz the
grain States. Illinois, Iowa, Missou-
ri, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Kansas and Oklaho-
ma, increased from 10000 to 500
600 and one half are said to be own
ed by farmers, who paid $250.000.-
600 for them. There are 10000 au-
tcmobile dealers garages, repair
shops and charging stations in the
country. More than 100000 mo-
tor cars were registered in various
States in July, 1915.
The total direct expenditures for
gasoline, oil, tires. insurance, &c,
is estimated at S577, 100000 annual
ly. Six thousand persons, it is esti-
mated, made the trip from east of
the Mississippi to California last
SulhhhSl. AlioNluS an average en-
penditure of $40 a day. and 35 days
for the trip, they spent $4,000 900.
Tourists in New England alone, ac-
cording to the Hotel Mems Associa-
ton, spent $6,0OO,OOO during the
year. The money paid for upkeep
each year about equals the amount
spent for new cars. Together the
sums are said to exceed $1,000,00O,-
600.
Manufacturers believe that the de-
mand for popular-priced touring
cars will continue to increase. With
each $25 decrease in price has come
a greater demand, 1t is believed
that there are 100000 persons in
the United States with incomes of
$1,000 or over, of whom 1925, 900
have incomes of $500 or over. All
of the latter class, the manufacture
ers think, can afford to maintain a
low-priced automobile and within
few years they expect to develop an
automobile whose first cost and
price of upkeep will be within the
reach of a 1.0Q0 income. In re-
gard to the development of the mar
ket for commercial vehicles some of
them are not so confident. They do
not believe that a commercial vehic-
lie sufficiently cheap and simple for
use in small towns or on farms. has
been developed. The field of thei
commercial car is thought to be. in
big cities and towns, but the aitua-
lion may be changed at any time by
the development of car with the
qualities demanded.
