The stalwarts and reactionaries are
in absolute control Of the republican
party. Penrose of Pennsylvania, who
will be chairman of the senate commit
tee on finance, dictated the naming Of
Gillett of Massachusetts, typical east
ern high tariff republican, for speak
er, and in this he was assisted by
Hays, the national chairman. The as
sumption of progressiveness on the part
of the Minnesota congressman who sup
ported Gillett is the purest buncombe,
and intended for dust throwing. In the
intense desire to find campaign issues,
and alarmed by the growing tendencies
towards progress industrially and polit-
ically, the republican leadership has
gone back to the forces which control
led it for years. The revolt of 1912 has
spent itself.

Tried to Bribe

By Associated Press.

Berlin, May 24.-An alleged at
tempt to bribe prince and princess
of Montenegro with $15,000,000 to
100000 in order to induce the
princess to intercede with the Grand
Duke Nikolaievitch of Russia for a
separate peace between Germany and
Russia, featured the close of the
trial yesterday of Captain Count Nay
haus on a charge of treason.
The bribery evidence was con-
tanned in a deposition made by Min
lister Erzberger. Erzberger testified
that he became convinced during the
war that Nayhaus was intensely
anxious to serve his Fatherland in
some capacity. Questioned by Nay
haus how this might best be done,
Erzberger said he told Nayhaus to
try to bring about a separate peace
with one of Germany's enemies, pre-
ferably Russia. Anyone who could
do that, Erzberger told him, would
earn the gratitude of the Father
land,

the first place. the selection of tires
is often to blame for subsequent
difficulties. The correct adoption or
tires, whether demountable or de-
tachable or both, to tire, whether
straight-side or clincher, should also
be studied. Sometimes an inner tube
is partly ruined from deterioration
before it ever gets out on the road.
Lubrication, again, is often too fre-
quent and improperly done. Even
the question of imitation is not so
simple as it may at first seem. AS
for abuses. unnecessary exposure TO
the effect of oil and grease, an all
too common overlooking of machine
or tire, the sudden setting of brakes,
the disregarding of cuts and bruises,
the thoughtless attempt to wear
down the steel car tracks-these are
only few of the mistakes of which
many of us are heedlessly guilty.
Starting next week. then, with a
short description of tire types, there
will appear each week an article
dealing with some one aspect of the
proper care of tires. Remarks Will
be made on oversize tires, the pro-
per application of tires, and the
dangers of misapplication. The care
and usage of inner tubes and the
Importance and use of flaps will also
be discussed. There will be articles
on rims, tire filters. wheel irregular
tiles, snag wear, and other topics
which have to do with the every
day troubles of the tire user.

There is no doubt in my mind that
people in general pay too little at
tention to their tires. Tires, like the
engine or any other part OF a car,
require a certain amount of attenlon
IL the owner expects to get the pest
results. There have been very many
refinements in the construction OF
tires in the last few years, ana the
product that is built with quahty as
a basic principle OF its manufacture
is very dependable. Because this Is
so, the motorist frequently places so
much confidence in his tire equip
ment that he is apt to overlook, so
far as his castings are concerned, the
frequent inspection and attention
which he gives to the rest OF his car.
The problem is to get man inter-
ested before the accident befalls. AS
a rule we are disposed to wait until
our machines or tires let out a howl
before attending to them. After the
bridge falls, SO to speak. we appoint
a committee to determine what the
trouble must have been. After
score of unfortunates have been
burned to death in some old build
ings, we institute an inquiry as TO
why preventive measures were not
taken earlier. The remedy lies In
treating ones property right at the
right time and in constant inspection.
A variety of points may come to
our notice in this connection. In

The demolition of the wall will
