 It was more dramatically proved on the Cincinnati speedway when an Essex stock chassis set the worlds long distance endurance record of 3,037 miles in so hours. The same car, in three separate tests, travelled 5,870 miles at an average speed above mile a minute. Another stock Essex set the worlds 24-hour road mark of l,O61 miles over snow- covered Iowa roads.
 It is specially suited for salesmen, inspectors and others who must cover wide territory. quickly and frequently. Though not large, the Essex is commodious. There is plenty of room for passengers, and special arrangements for carrying sample cases, unseen, and even a trunk if desired.
 Come see the Essex Roadster. Ride in it. Try it's paces. Whether you want it for busi- ness or pleasure, you will appreciate why Essex in its first year set new worlds sales record.

 where romance holds full sway.
 The gradual decline of romance in the
 rubber industry has been noted by Her man NJ Haase. rubber expert of the E. F. Goodrich Rubber Company. Haase
 has handled crude rubber for more than twenty years, and can tell by merely locsN- ing at a piece of rubber exactly where it came from.

 During the past summer. the city of Walla WaIa, Wash, entertained ?. 191 | llotor car parties in the free camping grounds set aside for their use by the l municipality. It is claimed that these l tourists spent about hfty-thousand dol | lars a month with the citys merchants and that forty-six parties located perma- nently in the city or the immediate | lvicinity.
 At Springville, Arizona, 6osS cars registered during the past season. Nc estimate is given s-s to the amount the lmunity, but it is fe to say that it was at least a hundred thousand dollars.

SAFETY FIRST IS
 RULE OF THE DAY Accidents Are Fewer Be- cause People Are Learn ing to Be Careful

Automobile accidents continue to get on the front pages of the newspapers, t~lt the fact remains that the ratio of these mishaps to the number of cars and pe- destrians grow less each year.
 And the reason for it is the attention people are paving to the safety first movement, which is one of the big things of the age" says W. E. Mcclure of the Mcclure Motor Company
 Education has rooted out carelessness to an extent. When you are out on pop ular and crowded highway you see com paratively few attractions of the rules. Driving which reminds one of the wild west boys in the films is becoming scarce, the owners of cars having learned that it aces not pay Some of them have learned this a an expense and others have caught the spirit of equal rights, which means safety.

REFLECT FITZGERALD

There is no doubt as to where Mayor
Fitzgerald stands on the municipal owner
ship of the street railway system and it's
his ambition to make Of it gigantic sue
cess. If he is reelected he will continue to
keep men at the head of the SYSTEM who
will be just as enthusiastic of it's success
as is the mayor. Mayor Fitzgerald favors
the municipal ownership of public utilities
and has proven his worth along those lines
the years he has served the city as council
man and mayor. The voters know exactly
where he stands on the subject and are TAX
ing no chances in voting for his reelection.
Speaking further concerning the street
railway system, has been previously
pointed out in these columns, the City of
Seattle still enjoys a five cent fare while
other cities are charging from six to eight
cents fare Let's grant for the sake OF ar
grment that the street car system OF Sc
attic IS losing $4,000 per month which
amoun,s to $48, 900 per year Now, to OFF,
set that loss the street car patrons save in
the course of year in the neighborhood Of
two million dollars by paying five cent
instead of a six or seven cent fare. 10
invest $4,000 and make million dollars
from the investment seems to us to be
magnificent business proposition. With &.
B. Fitzgerald continued as mayor OF Sc
attic this million dollar saving will be OF
an annual occurrence to the street pat
rons But no figures have as yet been sub
mitted proving that the system is losing
$4,000 or any dollars per year, yea, not
only not losing but the system is making
more than $4,000 per year after every
item of expense has been counted off. And
again, do not overlook the fact that the
street car employees of Seattle are being
paid the highest wages Of any street car
employees of any city in the United States
and perhaps the entire world. Suppose you
beat Mr.. Fitzgerald for the nomination,
then you will Of course have for your next
mayor Hugh M. Caldwell, who is not quite
certain of what course he will persue with
the street railway system He may place
man at it's head who will begin at once to
Systematically disrupt it and soon have it
in about the same condition as did Super
intendent Arms have the city electric light
plant and to save it from total destruction
Mayor Gill was recalled and Geo. Diling
elected, who Immediately removed Arms
and appointed Ross, who has perfected the
plant and made Of it a financial success.
Seattle does not want to be forced to re-
call Hugh Caldwell to save the street car
system from being financially wrecked and
therefore you and each Of you, who are
qualified voters should vote for the re-elec
ton of c.. B. Fitzgerald for mayor Of Sc
attle
During the present municipal campaign
Hugh M. Caldwell has attacked about every
person Of any public prominence, who is
supporting Fitzgerald for mayor, which re-
minds us Of the poisonous snakes OF the
South, that 90 blind every year from the

first to the eighth of August, and in that
blind condition they strike at every move
ment that comes near them. Now it ap-
pears to us that Major Caldwell has gone
blind on the subject of being mayor of Sc
attic and is striking at every body, who does
not believe, as he does, as to his fitness for
the place.
