the petition will be guilty of an act
of disloyalty
To one who knows the reasonable
attitude of the average saloon toward
law and government, such statements
are taken as exhibitions of the ex-
tremity to which the liquor people are
put to defend their nefarious business.
The Dry Chicago Federation asserts
that no greater service may be rend-
cred by any un-enlisted citizen of the
United States, than by promoting the
agitation against the saloons as the
great source OF social corruption.

Quincy Arrests

A statement by Chief of Police Mel

of arrests for drunkenness during
May, June, July, August and Septem-
Der, 1917, compared with the same
months in 1916 shows reduction of
little more than IL per cent
During 1917 the saloons were closed
on Sunday. This is doubtless re-

The Peoria Star says: "The future
of the saloon depends upon the man
ner in which those remaining are
conducted. AS matter of fact if the
saloon men had cleaned house 10
years ago there would not now be any
saloon question. If the saloon as an
institution is to be allowed to exist it
must be on the basis of decency and
responsibility. And the men who
should be first to put it on that
basis should be the saloon men them
selves. They are on the ground and
they know the conditions. If they
will not do it they have no business
in charge of saloon" No human
power can make the saloon good. 1t
is doomed to die.

Hupmobile Dealers Are
Optimistic as to Future

The motorcar business on the
Pacific coast is in a thriving condi-
tion according to reports sent into
the Hupmobile factory by Sales
Manager j. e. Fields. Mr.. Fields is
on a months trip through the West
and has already visited Kansas City,
Los Angeles. San Francisco Port
land and Seattle. Dealer conven-
tions were held at each of these large
distributing centers and Mr.. Fields
was able to gain first-hand informa-
ton from Hupmobile dealers in re-
gard to the business outlook.
The entire Pacific coast is hungry
for motorcarS," said Mr.. Fields. All
winter the western dealers have been
unable to get automobiles on account
of the freight car situation. AS re-
suit they are hundreds of orders be-
hind for immediate delivery. The
whole country suffered from the
freight car situation but the West
felt it more on account of the long
haul and the inability of railroads to
furnish western freight equipment
LAS a result of this situation, a big
supply of cars will be necessary to
meet the requirements along the Pa
cific coast. L find business is con-
tinuing along normal lines and
everybody feels that the prosperity

Studebaker Is Pilot
Car of Club Tour

When the Associated Advertising

Club will step to the front and re-
ceive the unique honors of having
come all the way from the coast by

from various other corners of the

That the "On-to-St Louis" cara

a Series IS Studebaker Six was

the long string of motors, posting

The pilot car, or Studebaker six,

Motor Cars Active in
Recruiting Of Army

When it comes to matters mill
tary, little Nisalia. Cal, is not only
patriotic but strictly modern. A
short time ago the recruiting officers
in that town were informed that
machine gun company was needed
in hurry by the Second California
Infantry.
A rapid-fire recruiting campaign
produced. the men in twenty-four
hours and then a dozen businessmen
of Nisalia, who own Dodge Brothers
motorcars, offered to set the new
recruits at the Preside at San Fran
cisco in record time.
This was the first attempt at NOV
ing troops long distances by motor
in the San Joaquin Valley and it was
watched with much interest by mill
tary men.
The 230-mile run was made in
eight and one-half hours, with an
average speed of 81 miles an hour
The first half of the trip was COM
pleted with a S5-mile average, but
rain and slippery roads cut the ave-
rage to 27 before the ferry at Oak
land was reached
While the number of men moved
in this particular instance was small,
the run demonstrated that the num-
Der of troops it would be possible to
rush to given point would depend
wholly on the number of motorcars
available.
The only delay reported on the en-
tire trip was occasioned by five pune
lures. The performance of the
Dodge Brothers cars aroused high
praise from the officers who accom-
panied the recruits on the trip.
