MOTOR TRUCK
RISE GRADUAL
Production Never Forced,
Giving Ample Time For
Large Improvements

The motor truck was not forced.
No extraordinary demand required
that manufacturers entering this
field of manufacturing, hurry their
production to stupendous proper
tions, as was the case with the pas
senger car makers, who found a
demand upon them long before their
product had reached its point of per-
fection. Truck makers developed
their trucks, made vehicles in small
quantities, and increased production
as fast as the demand required.
They found no great and pressing
necessity for hurrying. and did not
do so. w. B. Hurlburt, president of

Predictions Being Fulfilled.

No astonishment need be created by
the announcement at a ministerial con-
ference at Portsmouth, in this state, by
a visitor from Washington, that after
the liquor prohibition fight has been
won it was the intention Of that partic-
ular church to launch drive for the ex-
tirpation Of the nicotine evil'. Tobac-
co is to follow alcohol into banishment.
1t is taken as accepted that the machin-
cry of the National Government is to be
used. Congress is to be raked and be-
deviled until it submits a Federal
amendment prohibiting the growing or
Importation of tobacco, and in turn each
Legislature will be raked and bedeviled
until it is adopted and made the law of
the land.
1t has been fashionable to sneer at
the prediction that these regulators Of
their brothers conduct would strike at
the use of tobacco Indeed, those who
made it were, in the pleasant and emin-
emily fair manner so characteristic of
reformers, charged with aiding and
abetting the liquor traffic and denounc-
ed in language used mainly by rowdy
victims of that traffic. Already the
familiar symptoms of fanaticism are
making their appearance. Users of to-
bacco are being informed that they are
immoral and their indulgence is sinful.
There has already been formed ma
tional anti-tobacco association apd
literature has been created, the contri-
butors being clergymen and physicians.
Frightful examples of the terrible eff
feet of nicotine upon the human sys-
tenn, whose frightfulness suggests in
vention, are being collected, and lectur-
ers are preparing addresses calculated
to produce in the popular mind fears
that the safety of the race is being i'm
periled. This established and reli-
gious cast given the movement, the rest
Of the task is easy. The way will then
be cleared for the next sumptuary prop
aganda. Cincinnati Enquirer, editor

Another Kind of Prohibition.

The Rev. Frank Waring, prohibition
leader, delivered an address in Ports
mouth, Ohio, last week. He said that
as soon as the fight for prohibition is
over a campaign against nicotine will
be started and carried on with the same
determination that has marked the
fight for prohibition. Incidentally he
condemned the policy Of the Govern
ment in allowing American tobacco
companies to send cigarettes in huge
quantities to the boys overseas.
The reverend gentleman's address,
according to the newspapers, is Wash
ington, d. c. That is some thousands
Of miles from the battle line. In France
and Flanders there is mud and cold and
sudden death, and there tobacco pro-
vides one of the few real comforts our
soldiers have in time of stress and dan
ger
The Reverend Mr.. Waring would
stop shipments of cigarettes to the men
in khaki. His talk would all be only
laughable if the past ten years had not
shown that such men and such senti-
ments, by constant hammering, NAV at

Glass in a street can easily do a
thousand dollars worth of damage In
one day, in these times of very high
cost of automobile tires, and the uni
versal use of the gasoline buggies.
Complaint has been made that one
of the women street car operators
threw quantity of glass into the
middle of Nineteenth street near
Main the other day. 1t came from a
car window accidentally broken.
man living near that corner saw
1T and went out and carefully swept
up the glass and threw it In the back
of a lot far from any possibility of
its doing any damage.
Keokuk streets are reasonably free
from glass as rule, due partly to
Commissioner Hickey having the
street gangs sweep up all they OBJ
erve anywhere. But glass in a resi-
dence street is apt not to be found
by a city employee and is particularly
invisible there, so that it is about
as bad as bomb.

Edward w. McMsnus, Jack Hardin
and John w. Hobbs Appointed
to Distribute That Seiz-
ed in keokuk.

Liquor siezed from bootleggers and
from others transgressing federal laws
in the southern district OF the state
will no longer be poured out after the
cases are disposed Of in the federal
court in Keokuk. Judge Martin j..
Wade Of the United States court has
issued an order that such liquor shall
be saved and given to hospitals for
/ medical purposes In the different d.
| visions of the southern district OF the
state.
| For some time this disposition OF
such liquors has troubled Judge
Wade These are times of conserva-
ton. end feeling that the liquor need
not be wasted but should be utilized
In the hospitals where It Is badly
NEEDED the Judge sent out tie order.
n. F.. Reed of Ottowa, United States
marshal will make an inventory OF
the souther Iowa district These COM
missions will make allotments of all
liquors reported by the marshal and
will give such aIlotments to the hos.
pitfalls. There are six divisions In the
southern district.
These VIII Distribute Liquor.
Three commissioners have been ap-
pointed for each division. The com.
missioners for the eastern division
which includes Keokuk, are q. w Nc
JManus, A. j. Harden, and John w.
Hobbs.
Hospitals in the eastern division
are located in Burlington, Mt. Pleas
ant, Ft Madison, KeokulS and Iowa
City.
These institutions will receive the
allotnents of liquor for medical use
when the new order is carried out. The
amount Of liquor seized by the fed
eral authorities varies. Sometimes
two pints are hauled in, sometimes a
gallon, and occasionally several bar
rels
Only wine or whisky, however, will
be sent the hospitals. Beer is taboo.
Includes All Of It.
The order of Judge Wade, while
applicable only to cases in the fed
eral court, actually will include all
the whisky and wine seized by the
state officers and city police.
The offense Is always transporta-
ton across state line, in the Keo-
kuk cases, and the defendants are
always turned over to United States
Commissioner John e. Craig after
the state court gets through with
them.
The seized booze also Is turned
over to Thomas P. Gray, deputy
United States marshal here, in the
end. This brings it under the Judge
Wade order. and Chief Hennemann
said this morning that hereafter 1t
will all be sent to the federal court
officers, if seized by the city police.
There are two big barrels of good
! whisky now reposing in Chief Hen
nemann's office, awaiting court de-
termination Of its fate, and it is ex-
! pected that this will be among the
| first lots of liquor to go to hos2i-
tals-enough to stock them all for
| a considerable time.
