WOOD BURNING BUSES
NEW PARIS EXPERIMENT

PARIS, Oct. 2s.--Wood burning
autobuses are an interesting feature
Of the Automobile Salon in Paris
this year. They make use OF logs
instead Of high priced gasoline and
are capable Of seating from II to
20 passengers.
The Berliet Company has been
demonstrating them and giving
gratuitous rides to many people
who find the new invention quite
delightful.
Just how long before one will see
them on the regular bus lines, is
still a question.

Industry Is Healthy

According to report made public by the depart
ment Of labor, employment and pay roll totals in
manufacturing industries greater in July than
in the corresponding month of last year. Tajrty
out Of "a separate industries show greater pros
perity than they did in July, 1925.
While it is true that July shows sharp decline
from the June figures, the increase over the same
period Of the previous year would indicate healthy
condition and discount the reports that the decline
from the June figures is justly alarming. Fluctua-
tions bound to occur, but there is no cause for
serious alarm when the average from year to year
shows steady and marked increase.

Crops and Votes

Political goose-bone prophets of other years have
said that q crop failure meant change in admins
tration. Just what the connection between the rul-
ing powers and the golden wheat is, remains mys-
terry to US, but it has been proven fact that short
crops meant short shrift for whoever happened to-
be running for reelection, be he sheriff president
In the light of the relation Of farm prosperity to
political Developments the government crop FORE
east has new significance.
The wheat estimate for August indicates total
yield of S29,O0O,O0O bushels, which is $4,000, 900
bushels more than year ago. The improvement,
however, is confined to districts raising winter
wheat. as in the spring wheat belt the estimated
yield Of 212OOOO0O bushels is 100000 bushels UNI
der last years crop, despite large acreage.
For corn and cotton growers the prospect is less
sanguine than year ago. The estimated corn
yield is Il per cent under the 1925 crop, and the
price is also lower than last years. The cotton
forecast is for 1921 900 bales Coming on top of
last years huge crop, the outlook has sent cotton
down about cents from the level of year ago.
1t should be interesting to watch the way the corn
spring wheat and cotton growers vote on congress-

A Traffic Suggestion

Habit, and lack of information about good, but
less travelled. roads together responsible for a
great part Of the congestion the principal high
ways. Much OF the crowding could be eliminated,
traffic speeded up and road wear equazed by a
system of road education sort of campaign to in
form the public of the various routes that may be
used to reach the same destination.
At the present time the motoring public sticks to
the highway because it knows other way. Proper
posting by means Of large, easily read signs, giving
alternate routes would tend to divert some of
the excess traffic to the less used and, in many
cases, more charming roads
The proper agency to accomplish this result is in
each the individual state since it is the states
interest to avoid all the congestion possible and to
speed up automobile traffic through the main high
way arteries.

Remarkable Record

It's reported that only one passenger lost his life
as the result OF railway accident in Great Britain
the past year. and that one was not killed outright
but died from shock. due his weak state of health
Absorbing to the rules governing official statistics
however, this death had to be reported caused by
the accident, preventing 1925 from figuring in the
same category as 1901 and 1908, when not single
passenger met death in accident on the British
railways, In 1909 there was only one fatality; in
1916, 1919 and 1928 there were three each, and in
1914, six, making total Of only II deaths in the
eight years mentioned.
While it is true that in 1915 there was disaster

Editorial Comment
Peace Must Be Cultivated
(Minneapolis .Journan

This American generation INDUCES the notion that
peace is natural condition. 1t regards war as an
interruption. just disease is interruption of
health. Our American forefathers held no such no.
ton. They gained their foothold this continent
by fighting. They enlarged it by fighting, and what
they had, they held BY fighting by readiness to
fight.
All the peace there is in the world, whether with
in community among states is conquered peace
and whatever peace there is is maintained by eff
fort Peace is artificial condition. as much SO as
any other of the main attributes of civilization and
to maintain peace requires wisdom, foresight, judy
ment, as well force in reserve. Because society
carries big stick, society gets some peace. And
because nations alert for their own protection
yet heedful Of the rights of other nations, they get
some peace.
But the process has been from natural war of man
against man. group against group, city against city,
state against state to artificial peace, first within
community itself. and then among communities.
When the state Of world peace is reached some day,
it will be an elaborate equilibrium of delicate and
complex adjustment. 1t may be stable, but it will
be the most artificial of the creations Of civilization
No man in any community is absolutely safe from
violence. Even in the best protected city q man
may be robbed. beaten or murdered. Similarly,
there is no nation not subject to attack, that
one which does least to invite hostilities.
The lesson of Germany can well be taken to heart
by every nation, to- be careful of it's conduct, aye
Of its manners, if wishes to be left at peace
Peace for any nation requires to be cultivated
If the Germany, left mighty and secure by Bis
marck, could twenty-eight years later come the
most tremendous cropper in modern history, why
anything happen to any state, just as anything
could happen to any man. Maybe the United
States can stand off all the world. Maybe she some
day will be required to prove it.

The Real Test Of Prohibition

Now that the primaries are pretty well over, it
begins to be interesting speculate chances in
the coming election.
Prohibition looms up the biggest issue. 1t is
true that various sections of the country are more
interested in other questions, but prohibition OBJ
viousy appeals pro and con- at least to plurality
Of the voters, as the principal one.
The primaries told only part Of the story. Atlee
Pomcrene's victory over Florence f. Allen in Ohio
seemed to Indicate that Ohio Democrats FREEDOM
nantly wet. The primary majority rolled up by
Senator Frank B. Willis, however. just as plainly
suggested that Ohio Republicans predominantly
dry It remains for the election to reveal the atti-
tude Of Ohios voters, as body. Just SO in other
states where candidates most conspicuously wet
and dry than anything elsewhere the bulk of the
voters will ask first, as he a wet?' us he dry?'
and vote accordingly, regardless of every other is
sue at stake
The outcome will great deal as to 1928.
II prohibition receives strong popular Endorsement
in November of this year, modification will hardly
figure as presidential consideration at the succeed
ing election. If the vets make notable gains this
year. there almost certainly will be conclusive
show down two years hence.
Assuming that there has been growth in wet
sentiment it has been more noticeable in the Demo-
cratic than in the Republican party-not in the SOUTH
but in the doubtfully wet-anddry northern states.
On the further suppostion, then. that the vets do
reasonably well in November, the natural deduction
is that the Democratic presidential nominee in 1928
will be wet, while the Republican nominee, in all
probability, will be for claw enforcement" and let

the prohibition issue to the fore than it has
been since the Eighteenth Amendment was adopted
but it doesn't necessarily follow that the outcome

body knows how long.
