TO OUR NAPOLEON

Now we understand why Victory medals are to be struck off. A spe- cial dispatch to the New York Sun contains this gripping information:
 Washington, June 26.-Newton D. Baker, secretary of war, will decorate himself with a Victory medal as soon as these war emblems are ready to be issued. Announcement that Mr. Baker will receive the second medal to be issued was made by the war department today. President Wilson will receive the first"
 AS there is no one who can properly perform the act of decorating the sec retary of war except himself he will do the honOrs. Of course the Presi- dent might offciate, introducing the ceremony he learned in France. He chest of the modest, blushing secre- tary and then kiss him on both SAASS1A1 that, all circumstances considered, the secretary should not only be decorat- de but kissed
 That was a fine thought of the sec retary's to put the President first and himself second among the heroes of the great war All of us remember the intrepid actions of the secretary when he was in France; how he crawled from communicating trench to support trench and from support trench to the front line trench and gaZed through a periscope at the fero- cious enemy. Not so many remember that historic scene when the president of France hooked military medal, a croix de guerre and the medal of Le- zion of Honor on the secretary's left hand breast pocket and said:
 "It was you who won the war; you who sent us over so many American seventy-fves and such a swarm of air planes; you who made so many mag nlfcent threats that the enemy wilted, turned pale and ran for the Rhine"
 Could anything be more appropri- ate by way of official recognition than the Victory medal for the little sec retary. If we may not ascribe the victor to him, to whom may we as cribe it. Surely no one would be so

SHOULD HAVE TEMPORARY
 JUDGE

It does seem that there should be some provision made for the trial of important cases during the absence from the division of the district judge. This is the situation which confronts the Third division at this time. The judge is absent, undergoing treatment for illness. His absence, from the time of his departure until his re- turn, will probably extend to half a year. We all, of course, deeply sym pathize with the district judge because of his illness. We all hope for his speedy recovery. But the business of the court, which is so highly impur- tant, should not be hindered or de- 1ayed on account of the illness of the district judge. Provision should be made for the appointment of a tempo rary judge, to serve during the ab- sence from the district, from any cause whatsoever, of the regular iu- dicial officer. This would prevent any delay III the adjudication of important cases. There are half a dozen impor- tant cases in this community that should be tried immediately, but in the circumstances their trial is unnec- essarily deferred because of the en- forced absence of a court of compe- tent jurisdiction. It is a situation that should be corrected, and one that might easily be remedied by the ap- pointment of a temporary judge. We make this statement solely in the in- terests of good government We have the utmost confidence in and respect for our district judge, and have no wish to see him replaced because of his illness. This should not be neces- sary, if our suggestion were adopted. Nothing should be allowed to interfere with the operations of the district court.-Anchorage Times.

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS

An effort is to be made by the Ne mana Commercial Club to induce the postoffice department to route Interior Alaska mail during the coming winter by way of the new Broad Pass trail, which is now approaching the Interior rapidly from the end of steel in the Anchorage division of the government railroad.-Nenana News
 Possibly the visit of Colonel D. c. Jackling to this section will have some relative change in the steamer service of the Admiral line. Colonel Jackling recognizes the growing busi- ness, and his recommendations for better service will be acted upon by President Alexander, if such a rec ommendation is made-Seward Gate way.
 There are some of us who believe that oil is native to this part of Alaska, and we are patiently awaiting the day when the congress shall pass law permitting development. It is ridiculous state of affairs that these oil lands should so long remain tied up. By presidential order issued in 1906, oil lands in Alaska were with drawn from private entry and location, and to this day they remain with draWn-Anchorage Times.

unfeeling as to say that anyone did his bit more gloriously than our Ma poleonic secretary. Was he not the man behind the man behind the gun and then some? And when duty called, did he not sail across the sea, land amid the swamps of Brest, rush madly to the front when the armies had begun to waver before the as s2ults of the Hun, take one peek at the foe and then turn right around again and come home? Did he or did he not?
 Oh, Victory, instead of allowing Newton to pin a medal on himself, thou shouldst come down from thy eX- alted place, take the little secretary by the hand and place him beside thee on the very armchair of thy throne. For is not Newton but another name for Victory? Is it or is it not?

julius Rosenwald, president of

"The loan must be financed before

Arizona republican., 1919-10-19

Member of the National Automobile Dealers association are being urged to support the Eyer bill which aims at the heart of the auto theft game. It pro- vides heavy penalties for transporting stolen car from one state to another. According to auto men it will serve to break up the large organized gangs which have been operating in various sections of the country for some time.
 Following is a copy of the letter which has been sent out to all mem bers asking their cooperation:
 ''The Dyer bill, H. R. s2o3, the Motor Vehicle Theft bill has been passed by the house of representatives of congress 200 to 40. The bill has gone to the sen ate. It provides a fine of $5,000 and up to five years in federal prison for transporting a stolen automobile from one state to another. Twenty eight million dollars worth of automobiles were stolen in 21 large cities of the United States in 1918. The Dyer bill

FRANKLIN TEST FUR TIRE LIE
 AGAIN SHOWS STARTLING RESULT

When cars running two years be- fore their records of service from the original sets of tires are completed, they can naturally be expected to re- veal exceptional mileage. This circum- stance proved to be the case with the Franklin car.
 In a national investigation among owners of series Franklin cars, just completed, the average of 14,5o0 miles to the set of tires has been established, fully twice the mileage commonly de- livered by the average car.
 Not until now were reports obtain able on tires that had worn out, in spite of the fact that series Frank lins have been in service since 1916. From experience 1t could have esti- mated that tire performance on those cars would exceed by wide margin tho previous five-year average of 10,- 900 miles, but 1t was decided to wait for the actual facts.
 Like all Franklin information the new national average of tire mileage was piled up by a great body of facts far removed from special cases that occur only here and there. The re- ports include cars of every current type-open and closed. They represent every condition of running, in practi- cally every part of the country.
 Of all the tires reported, only per cent have been worn out and discarded, and then, as the figures show, only after two seasons service in almost every instance. Quite a contrast be- tween this record of Franklin cars and the all-too-common tire renewals wen during the first year, on the aver age car.
 In not a few cases, tires exceeded the 10000 mile mark. More than 1G per cent more than 1s,0o0 miles. The best record reached by a single cal gave 26,s40 miles for the front tires and 26,s40 miles for the rear tires Even those tires that are still running have registered an average of 12,05( miles to date and owners say they art good for an average of 4.059 miles more.
Arizona republican., 1919-10-19

Hand in hand with this long tire life goes tire reliability. Punctures prove to be rarity-an aggregate mileage of 5,260,63S tire miles with only 630 punctures. Or, to put the result another way, every set reported averaged only one puncture in 4,141.2 miles of travel.
 Blowouts are almost unheard of. Each tire simply lasts it's natural life.
 Such are the facts that demonstrate the fallacy of the spart tire bugaboo- provided the car is Franklin. It is an infrequent occurrence for Frank lin owners to carry spare tires; if at all, only about the time the ties are ready to be discarded.
 This record of satisfactory perfor r- nance naturally rises the question Is it the tire or the car?
 Good tires go on the Franklin, just as good tires go on other cars-but the mileage is not the same in both cases. The answer always gets back to the car itself.
 A car can abuse its tires. a cdr can also protect it's tires. The Franklin is the latter kind of car. The reasons are apparent:
 1. The light total weight of the car.
 2. The light weight of parts not supported by the springs (unsprung weight.)
 8. Large tires in proportion to car weight.
 4. The residence, or shock-absorb- ing quality of Franklin construction.
 In effect, these vital principles oi automobile design amount to this: Franklin tires are not called upon tC carry the heavy and unnecessary | weight, or are they subjected to tht unyielding, pounding shocks, imposed upon tires on rigid, heavy cars. The sound facts behind this actua, owners average of 14,500 miles per SC of tires, not only bear out the day-b! day statement of Franklin perform ance, but also furnish additional evi dence that Franklin cars deliver fire quently more than it quoted for them
