The avowed purpose is to bring the automobile within the reach of all. This is a noble pur- pose but to the casual observer it would seem that a ride in a machine bought on’ that plan heads one un- pleasantly near the poorhouse. This is not said at all in dispar- agement of the company advertising its ability to place machines on a monthly payment basis. There is no doubt of its integrity or its ability to do so. In truth any company that can afford to pay for a double page of advertising in the weekly mention- ed above must be financially strong and commercially able. It will with- out doubt keep any agreement it may make with a purchaser. But what about the purchaser? Will he be able to do as much? Can a man who is apparently unable to save up a thousand dollars to buy a car, afford to get one on nothing but the bare hope that he will be able to do better financially in the future than in the past. Remember, too, that the man who owns a car has expenses that the pedestrian never dreamed of. Im- agine the man who up to this time has been able to save little or noth- ing, now beginning to pay from $25 to $50 a month on the upkeep of his car and at the same time laying aside something to meet that monthly pay- ment! If he can do this the car has certainly performed wonders for him and we will be forced to. admit that our misgivings are groundless. Deferred payments have their mer- its and for the man who is buying a home on monthly installments we have nothing but the highest com- mendation. For him it is an inspira- tion to save and at the end has some- thing permanent and which he may, if he chooses, reconvert into-all he paitd-for it. But with an automobile the situation is entirely different. Each: day the luxury that he has purchased decreases rapidly in value. It is not. an uncommon thing to be offered a second hand machine, worth $2,000 new, for $500 at the end of the third- season. This knowledge should make a would-be purchaser of an automobile on time hesitate long enough so that his common sense might get the better of his wild de- sire tobe in style and own a car. It must be admitted that the propo- sition to;get a machine on such easy terms is: alluring, but after all isn’t it agood: deal like. going- after the pot-of:-gald at-the. end:-of the rain- he intimates that the crown for:the third time would be acceptable, will the Republicans the next day dare to nominate anyone else and again make a three-party election of it with the certainty of Wilson win- ning in that event? It may be a bitter pill for the Re- publicans to swallow—being coerced to nominate a man whether they want him or not—but when one's health and even life is at stake a pleasant face must be assumed and the medicine taken with good grace. Last time, as Roosevelt avers, they forced him out of the Republican nomination by clever politics; now he may turn the tables on them and force them to take him. At that the medicine may prove beneficial for the patient and for the country at large. The colonel may at this time be the best man to sit in the chair, even though it will be his third sitting, but on the whole the people would a little rather have an opportunity to express their free will. Perhaps though we wrong the man with the Big Stick. Perhaps he will refuse the Progressive nomination. Perhaps he will state to them the ex- act terms and conditions upon which he will accept the nomination just as he has dictated his terms to the rest of the world. Perhaps he will tell them to await the action of the Republican party. Perhaps he will tell them that now that Justice Hughes has intimated that he will run there is no necessity of Mr. Roosevelt’s saving the country. Per- haps we are all wrong and Henry Ford will be the nominee at the Re- publican convention. Perhaps! It will be a great convention—there 1s no doubt of that. ST. PAUL OPENS BIG BIRD HOUSE CONTEST (By United Press) St. Paul, Minn., April 10.—When John Burrough, New York bird au- thority, pressed a button in New York at four o’clock this afternoon, he opened St. Paul’s great second an- nual municipal bird house exhibit. Because of its novelty as a means of civic advertising, the annual bird house exhibit has attracted unusual attention from various parts of the nation. Various moving picture concerns filmed the exhibit. Business men had offered one' thousand prizes to boys making the best bird houses. Competitien was keen, “St. Paul, city of song birds and flowers,” is the slogan of the exhibit.

CROIX' CANAL KILLED BY BAKER ‘Washington, April 10.—An unfa- vorable report on the proposed St. Croix waterway from Lake Superior to St. Paul, the estimated cost of which was placed at $7,815,000, was submitted to commissioners today by Secretary of War Baker. The report is based on findings of the chief of engineers, the board of engineers of rivers and harbors and a special board which made an in- vestigation and survey of two routes which has been proposed between Lake Superior and the Mississippi river at St. Paul, each report being unfavorable. Two principal grounds of objection were named by the various bodies reporting on the subject: First, an insufficient water supply for success- ful operation of the proposed water- way, and, second, too large a cost of operation in proportion to the esti- mated freight, in view of all condi- itions of transportation. WILD BOB BURMAN KILLED IN RACE Corona, Cal., April 10.—Bob Bur- man of Detroit, noted automobile racer, his mechanician, Eric Schroed- er of Chicago, and a track guard are dead as a result of the overturning of Burman’s car in the Corona road race here Saturday. Five spectators were injured, sev- eral seriously. The accident happened on the back stretch of the ninety-seventh lap. A wheel flew off Burman’s car and the machine crashed through the fence into the crowd. Schroeder was hurl- ed eighty feet. The guard, W. H. Speer, was struck by the catapulting car and almost instantly killed. The race was won by Eddie O'Don- nell, who covered the 301 miles in 3 hours, 29 minutes, 52 seconds.
