FORWARD-LOOKING AUTO
MOBILES

The National Automobile Show
which is being held in New York
marks the twenty-ffth year in the
progress of this great industry. 1t
is thus a sort of "silver jubilee an.
niversary." 1t might be thought
that there is matter enough for
jubilation in the achievements of
the past. The registration Of pass
enger cars and commercial vehf-
cles for 1924 shows a total of IL,
1901 For an estimated popula-
ton of 100000, this would mean
car or a truck for every 6.42 per-
sons, With production for the
year of about 3,58O,0OO cars, it
might be thought that the satura-
ton point had been reached. But
no thought of that kind finds lodg-
ment in the mind Of the manufac-
turers or, it may be added, of the
general public.
All the talk is of a still greater
expansion of business in 1925. New
models and improvements in the
old machines are heard Of on all
sides. Probably more cars than
over before will be replaced or
scrapped during the coming year.
If the signs of great prosperity are
not misleading, there will be an
immense increase of purchasing
power in the United States, and
again vast sums will be laid out
in acquiring automobiles. So far
as can now be seen, there is every
indication that, despite all the
thfckening difficulties about roads
and traffic problems, the automo-
bile is destined to go on. conquer

er there are itching palms held up
for the profits OF commercial inter-
course.
AS a nation, America is looked
upon as the perennial Santa Claus
from whom to ask is almost tanta-
mount to receiving. 1t needs but a
cursory glance at the stupendous
sums Americans spend in Injuries
and harmless designations of amuse
ment to appreciate their spend
thrift nature as individuals.
1t is therefore. as surprising as
it is gratifying that official Stats
tics show that the savings depos-

That is to say, they reach the tre-
mendous aggregate of almost $21,
O00,0OO,000. They have increased
during the past twelve years from
about $50 per cent, from $8,425, 900
to $2O,873.0OO,o0O.
In 1912 there were 1854, ZIG
depositors in the savings banks and
similar institutions; today there
are 38,867,e94. The per capita
savings in 1912 were $50. Today
they are $183. Further analysis of
the situation shows that most of
this savings came during and since
the war. Thrift, therefore, must
be added to the list Of American

I.YNCHINCS ON DECLINE
In the south lyrlchings are on the

In the south lynchings are on the
decline.
According to Major Motion, prin-
cipaI of Tuskogee institute, lynch
ings during 1924 set a new low fig
ure being 16 for the whole country
as compared with SO in 1923. Does
this mean that the south is half
awake to the enormity Of this
crime? If so, why doesn't it go the
whole hog and get awake all over?
asks the New York Herald. Sixteen
lynchings, although an improve
ment over SO lynchings, are still
16 lynchings too many. Further
more, 16 lynchings, if communities
shoulder their responsibilities can
be reduced to no lynchings in 1925.
1t is absurd to think of lynchings
as something inevitable, the fren-
zied outbursts of human nature
tortured past endurance. Some OF
the proyocations listed in the Mo-
tor report are disgustingly trivial.
Lynchings take place because com
munities think they are the thing
to do. Such communities are To-
Gated almost exclusively in the
south; all the reported lynchings
save one took place in southern
states, and all the victims were
negroes. Communities so obsessed,
it is obvious, are not civilized;
they are not even half civilized.

THE WORLD NEEDS THE
WOODS !"

Although there is nothing new in
the plea to save nature from ex-
ploiters by Dr. Charles D. Walcott
of the Smithsonian Institution, the
truths which he re- emphasized can
not be too often repeated. "The
world needs the woods" was the
cry of John Muir nearly forty years
ago when he saw the terrible hay-
oc wrought in the California
Sierras by the lumbermen and the
sheepherders. He lived to see part
of the forest remnants saved, and
some of the finest scenic spots
made into national parks and mon
uments. But the warfare has con-
tinued ever since in those areas
that have not been protected by
Federal or State authorities. AS
Dr. Walcott put it:
"The whole philosophy of ex
ploitation has been based on the
theory of making the maximum
profits for the exploiter rather than
ON the ideal Of the greatest SER
vice and lasting benefit to the peo-
pie of the world as whole"
1t is as true today as it was
thirty years ago that, while fur
Their conservation measures are
being deliberately debated, "the
axe and saw" in the words of Muir,
"are insanely busy, chips are fly
ing thick as snowflakes, and every
Summer thousands of acres of
priceless forests, with their under
brush, soil, springs, climate, seen
cry and religion, are vanishing a
way in clouds of smoke, while ex-
cept in the national parks (and
forests) not one forest guard is
employed"
Great improvements have since
been made. Millions of acres of
land are now set aside by states
and the National Government for
forests and for national parks.
Throughout the country the need
/, of conserving is generally under
stood. Anti-waste movements and
fire. prevention campaigns are
having more effect each year, and
the public is slowly realizing that
the old method of reckless de-
struction and consumption of natur
al resources is uneconomic.- New
York Times.

THE MADISON MURDER CASE

1t is obvious that had there been
little more evidence in the Madi-
son murder trial in Baraboo there
would have been a different YER
dict by the Sank county jury Of
three women and nine men. From
the long hours they weighed the
matter it is evident it was on the
border line. If the men were not
guilty, it would not have been
right to send them to Waupun and
on the other hand if they were re-
sponsible for the death Of Police
man Dreger they should pay the
penalty All the evidence was
circumstantial, no one saw the
killing. The officer in his dying
declaration said the shot came
from the direction Of the Coney
Island restaurant yet many others
think he was In error The fact
that one of the accused had q
piece of a gun which belonged to
one Of those supposed to have.
killed Dreger, yet the missing
links in the chain could not be
established. In this connection
there was an objectionable weak
ness on the part of the Madison
police in not obtaining finger
prints from the guns before sew
eraI persons had handled them. A
little work here would have done
much in proving the guilt or limo
cense of the men.
Another error was made in send
ing a policeman alone at night in
the Italian quarter of Madison.
Too many men have been killed
there to think of anything but
sending officers in pairs. 1t came
out in the trial policemen were
given soft drinks or other goods
without compensation. That was
bad and should never be allowed.
Then, too, there has been too
much lawlessness in the Italian
quarter-too many murders, too
much liquor and too many minor
crimes. A long list was read dur
ing the trial. Madison is too inn
portant a city to have permitted
the conditions as brought out in
the testimony. Think of ten bar
rels of wine in one cellar Moon
shine has been sold there for
years without a concerted effort to
stop it. The whirlwind came.
Those Italians who are not nat
uralized should be deported if
they cannot observe the laws of
this country and those who are
citizens should be given something
besides a slap on the wrist.
The trial was fair and there was
doubt all along as to the proof of
guilt of the offenders-sure enough
| the jury failed to find them guilty.
The tria est Dane county and
the Italians no small sum. Prop
erty valued at $4,000 or $1,000 was
decided the law firm by the father
of one of the accused men and
besides this the defendants had to
pay their witnesses,-that was no
small sum. The cost was not
borne by the accused, they did
not have it; it came from the peck
cts of others.
