TWENTY YEARS or AUTOS

The twenty-second anniversary OF
the first sale of motor vehicles in the
United States will come in April Of
this year. The automobile, which
was conceived IN Europe, has found
Its greatest development here. Mcny
OF the American pioneers are still
living and reaping the benefits OF
their early sacrifices and efforts. Fiji
tv years ago the automobile was the
experiment Of A few intrepid invent
ors. 1t vas c!sssed by the public
with the faucie3 Of Jules Verne, won
derful but impractical.
Surprising az II may seem, the au-
tomobile is the pr0genitor of the To-
connective. The first automobile was
built and tried fifty years before the
first railroad track was laid.
Captain Nicholas Joseph Gugnot is
credited with having constructed, in
1853, the first motor propelled road
vehicle that actually ran. The ma
chine was clumsy, over balanced and
difficult to steer. 1t was partly
wrecked on one Of its first trips and
never rebuilt.
In 1887 Oliver Evans, of Philadel-
phia, built the first American auto
mobile, but this machine also proved
heavy and hard to handle. In 1881,
Walter Hancock, an Englishman,
built steam car and called 1t the
Infant" This car made regular
trips between London and Stratford
and In 1882 the distance was extend
ed to Brighton. This vehicle carried
eleven passengers at an average
speed Of nine miles an hour.
In America. Charles =, Duryea and
Elwood Haynes, were the first to
build gasoline cars that would run.
This was some time in 1892.
To Alexander Winton goes the
credit of selling the first American
automobile. In April 1898 he sold
one-cylinder winton automobile to
Robert Allison OF Port Carbon, Pa.
Allison ran the car two years and
at the solicitation of the Winton
company, sold it back to them and
they still have It in their possession.
All these vehicles were of the
horseless type. It was not until
1902 that the ear based on the En-
ropean Panhard and Levasor type
was introduced.
The history Of the motor truck an
tedates the passenger automobile.
Gugot's first venture was a machine
to haul artillery. The passenger car
came as such only after the the ex-
periments Of Daimler and Benz In
1885.

COMMENTS ON THE
STATE SENATORSHIP

H. j. Hoogenakker, editor of the
Audubon Republican, and quite
competent man in other ways as
we'll. was in Perry Friday meeting
old friends and making new ones,
and otherwise fixing up political
fences in furtherance of his candi-
dacy for the republican nomination
for state senator.
The senatorship this year goes by
common consent to Audubon county,
and two men from Audubon are af-
ter the place. Their opposition is
that each is determined he will get
the place for himself.
Mr.. Hoogenakker is exceptionally
well qualified for the place. II
would be natural, all other things
being equal, for the newspapers to
espouse his candidacy, for he is one
of them. But at that he is a good
newspaper mana mighty good one
and that is the fairest assurance
possible that he would be a good
senator. He has the capacity for
serving the people of the district ac-
ceptably, and the experience thus
far had with newspaper men in the
state legislature has been highly
satisfactory, even il some profess
sional politician has not been par
ticularly well pleased.-Perry Trib-
une.
The candidacy of H. J. Hoogenak-
ker of Audubon for state senator
from this district to succeed Hon. ].
w. Foster is meeting with approval
from many sources. That Mr..
Hoogenakker is well qualified for the
position he seeks there can be no
question. He is an Iowa product,
having been born and raised in this
state. He has been in the newspa-
per business for over 20 years; has
always been located in agricultural
communities and has kept in touch
with>the agricultural interests. He
was in business in Guthrie Center for
two years, and is we'll known to
many in this county. There Is a
growing sentiment against so many
lawyers and bankers in the Iowa
legislature. The Gazette hopes to
see H. j. Hoogenakker nominated
for senator from this district, be-
lieving that he is the man for the
place.-Bagley Gazette.
Last week we carried an article to
the effect that Henry j. Hoogenakker
editor of the Audubon Republican,
would be a candidate for state sem
ator from this district, namely the
Dallas Guthrie Audubon district.
Hardly had the paper gotten of the
press when Mr.. Hoogenakker made
his appearance i'm Dallas county on
a trip to acquaint himself with the
people and tell them OF his wants.
He came from Perry to this place
Friday afternoon and met large
number OF the local republicans.
Mr.. Hoogenakker, as we stated
last week, win make a formidable
candidate at the primaries. He is
exceptionally well qualified for the
position to which he aspires, and
those who have looked up refer
ences in regard to him are profuse
in taking their stand for him. He
met with very great success at Perry
and there seems to be no question but
that he will carry Dallas county o.

MUCH INTEREST IN
THE REVIVAL MEETINGS

Much interest is being manifested
in the revival meetings at the M. =.

forward and all indications point to
a successful revival. Rev. Shenton

Some people do not buy their
New Edisons until they have
saved up the full price out of
their spare cash. This makes
music a luxury. Mr.. Edison
says it is a necessity. Prac-

agree that good music is neces-
sary to make "your house a

to dwell. +"

A THoRoUGHBRED FOR SURE

We met Fred Sievers In town yes
terday and he was feeling so excep-
tionally fine that we asked him IL he
had sold some more of his pure bred
Poland Chinas at fabulous price.
No, he said. ut is better than that, "
why he said, 1--WE had a seven pound
boy come to our house this morning,
and am here to tell you that he is a
dandy and thoroughbred through
and through"
We don't know of anything on
earth that would make a fellow feel
any more like a millionaire than to
be the father of a newly born SON.
so no one will blame Fred for being
so happy, in fact all unite In extend
ing congratulations. Mrs. Sievers
and the new son are doing nicely, all
Of which will be pleasing news to
the friends of the family.

him three times for the Presidency with

"Cox's nomination would make the
Democratic party the leader Of the law

ton, if such thing were possible. would
turn the White House over to those who
defy government and hold law in con-
tempt. There is no chance of his cleo

Democrat be willing to support man
whose nomination would insult the con-
science of the nation? After disgracing

PLATFORMS AS FLY CATCHERS

Students Of polite literature are await
ing the appearance of the Democratic
campaign book for complete collection
CT the war epigrams of Woodrow Wilson.
Those to which we shall refer here there
fore, are sobiect to revision on the APP
pearance of the volume.
There was one which ran, "Peace With
out Victory" In the immutable working
out of events, It's purport got somewhat
twisted, so that we now have, instead of
peace Without Victory, "VictOry With
out Peace"
Then there was "self determination"
from which, in the shuttle of events at
Paris, Ireland, Egypt, India. Shantung
and Korea were left out altogether An
other group became manufactures, man
datory being state which has secured
"self" determination through the deter
animation of somebody else.
"Open covenants openly arrived at" re-
call how the Versailles treaty was made
by three men sitting in closely guarded
chamber about whose deliberations not
single word has ever been published.
Also Freedom of the Seas" The hui
NOR of this appealed even to Mr. Wilson,
remarked: "The joke is on me-" the

ing joke on the people of the United
States. ssSFSiS lice
There are lot more, which escapes us
just now, but one stands out clearly from
away back in those days when Woodrow
first was beginning to reign.
political platforms" said Mr. Wilson.
"are molasses to catch flies with"
We, fellow citizens, were the flies. And
we got beautifully caught. Wilson and
Cox have now spread another mess of
molasses. Are we going to be caught
again?
The American people are fully iusti-
fled in resenting the many brutal outrag-
e. perpetrated by Mexicans upon Ameri-
cans both along the border and in the
interior of Mexico. Also, they are war
ranred in becoming impatient at the tar
diness of Mexican authorities in stopping
these outrages. But, to be entirely fair,
It must be admitted that the MeXicans
have good reason to feel resentful toward
the United States because of the negli-
gence of our government in preventing
revolution schemes to be Matched here.
Practically all the Mexican revolutions
of Importance started in many years,
were incubated in this country, the great
er part of them in San Antonio. And al
though the United States government
has been fully cognizant of these plot
tings, it has done comparatively nothing
to prevent them, thouh they have been in
positive violation Of the neutrality laws.
