The rubber tire has becn maneuver-

years and has captured a few unim-

now pitched a decisive battle with

pared and therein lies the power of
the rubber tire over that of iroli. for
government builds and maintains the

But iron is a stubborn metal and
it has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the wormwood
of defeat. and when rubber hurls its
‘rull force against this monarch of
jthe Mineral Kingdom. it may rebound

pearance on the bicycle. but it proved
‘a frivolous servant and was dismissed
ifor incompetency. it has always been

But to those who care to waft into

Ithat there will be a marvelous differ-

cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every man's door.
why a city? It will traverse the con-
tinent with a net work of Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boule-
vard built by Napoleon. it will pur-
alyzo the law making bodies of this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate

The recent investigation of the
United States Commission of Indus-
ttrlal Relations brought together the
extremes of society and has given the
'public an opportunity to view the rep-
resentatives of distinct classes, side
by side. and to study their views in
1parallel columns.
3 Capital and labor have always been
glaring at each other over gulls of
misunderstanding and if the Federal
'lndusirinl Commission attempts to
,bridge the chasm, it will render the
public a distinct service.
, The farmer has been sitting on the
gfence watching capital and labor fight
ifor many years and incidentally furn-
tishlng the sinews of war and it is
{quite gratifying to find them talking
lwith, instead of about, each other.
{When honest men smile and look into
leach other's souls, it always makes
'lthe world better and far more satis-
(factory to the farmer. who in the end.
ibears the burden of conflict, than
lresolutions. speeches or pamphlets
icontaining charges and counter-
charges.
The love for Justice makes the
. ’ Iwhols world kin. Understanding is an
. xarbiter far more powerful than the
,mandatesof gaverninent. for there is
lno authority quite so commanding as
‘an honest conscience; there. is no do
one quite so binding as that of the
gaupreme Court of Common Sense and
sheriff can keep the peace quite so
We suppose the time will never

Colonel Vincent M. King last night
issued the following statement, in
connection with the order to moon

“There is little likelihood that the
Coast Artillery companies of Connec-

ico. The Coast Artillery corps handle
heavy artillery and are trained for
coast defense work.
"However," he continued. “the coast
artillery companies could move with

equipment is all packed and the men
