 People Too Prosperous to Fight.

 dertaken with the underlying motive
 Of educating the people of the world | to such degree and of making them so prosperous that wars will be ended forever" This was disclosed yesterday as the motive back of the manufacturers desire to extend his operations into every part of the world.
 Mir. Ford believes that "a busy, prosperous people do not stop work to make war; they go to war only when it is necessary to protect their homes or their ideals when these are menaced by some more idle nation."
 "Whn the time comes that every one. everywhere. has a job, and last ing prosperity has been created as result, the people of any natien will be too busy and too happy to even think about war" the manufacturer says. Therefore, it is pointed out by those in close touch with him, he is convinced that world industrial ex- pansion, bringing with 1t prosperity for all peoples in all lands, auto maticaliy will make war impossible.
 The manufacturer is known to be- lieve that the automobile is the agent that will usher in the millennium of world peace.
 When the people of any country get to understand automobiles and use them daily, they will know con more about machinery" he declares. Then, in the course of 8 few years agricultural machinery will appear in that country. Hundreds of bushels of grain will be produced | where only a few were grown before. | In many foreign countries the farm CTS know nothing of machinery Probably they will not know it until | they have learned to use automobiles.
 Machinery will help to make any country prosperous.
 There is another reason why worldwide use of motor cars will help to end war. That is in the in crease of travel on the part of the persons of any country.

To get this whisky to their patrons these criminals do not hesitate to murder the enforce ment agent who attempts 10 stop them.

He learned that liquor was to be transported illegally that night in motor cars along a certain road . way, and he lay in wait to catch the violators. As the bootlegger he sought whirled into view the agent jumped up, and, standing on the side of the road. called upon him to halt.
 The criminal at the wheel turned his speeding machine upon the agent and ran him down.

Senator Walter S Brewer of Jeffer- son introduced in the senate, Friday, a bill abolishing the convict lease system September 30, 1925. Lieuten- ant Governor McDowell referred it to the committee on finance and taxa tion over the appeal of Senator Brow CT, who urged that 1t be permitted to go to the committee on penitentiary and prison punishment.
 The presiding officer informed Sem ator Brewer that since the state reve- nue was involved he considered it proper that the finance and taxation committee should handle the bill. The lieutenant governor invited the Jef- ferson senator to appeal from the rul- Ing of the chair if he cared to do so, but Senator Brewer declined.
 T asked that the bill go to the committee on penitentiary and prison punishment in order that it might be known whether or not the admins tration regarded anti-convict lease bills as revenue measures" sad Sen ator Brewer.

Gibson has been on the scene of action from the beginning, and has been actively op- posed to the bills sponsored by the citizens committee.
 Opponents or the anti convict lease bills have been working through members of the legislature who are known to be in favor of continuing the system and of the financial policy of the administration, which has been to the effect that the state cannot af- ford the loss of the revenue which is now being placed in the state treas ury yearly by the contracting of the labor of convicts to private interests.
