That is an opinion which la based on the result of their first activities in that direction and It Is not tbe re sult of any sentimental or biased statements. It Is a fact that Is patent to those who look a bit beyond th 1 horizon of today, and view with far-aight the things that may expected.Tholr unfitness for this duty is not to be considered derogatory to the cause, beoause they have not been prepared for its coming, nor have they taken tbe time or the en- ergy to make ready to discuss and decide on intricate problems of 'gov ernment. They will prepare, how ever, Just as they have.done to en ter the world of business, and the competition will be keen. It will bring about a revolution of ideas and opinions that cannot harm ths government, of which we are a part.

Seventeen Thousand Cars Made and Shipped in Ono Month by That Concern.—An Enormous • Business. It is always astonishing to figure up the amount of money that each year la expended for luxuries and comforts by the people of the Un ited States. The figures startle and convince one beyond a shadow of doubt that this not only is an age of invention and progress, but one of comfort and magnificence for many. The Wall Street Journal has figured out, in a recent issue, the cost of production and the number of autos shipped out by the Ford manufacturing plant alone, and it la a very unusual figure. That statement 4s interesting and la as follows: The Ford Motor Co., easily takes precedence as the largest American automobile concern. It if estimat ed that its gross income in Jan- nary was nearly $10,000,000, oi double the gross receipts, for in- stance, of the Grand Trunk Rail- way in that month and larger than the combined income of the New Haven and Boston & Maine roads. 'The Ford Motor Company has to tal net assets of $25,000,000, em ployers over 18,000 people and its dally pay-roll is between $30,001) and $35,000. Raw materials on hand average $7,000,000, and every car completed is shipped out on the same day it is finished. To handle its 1913 production, the company requires 1,000,000 lamps, 800,000 wheels, 90,000 tons of steel, hides from 400,000 cattle, bristles from 6,000,000 hogs and 800,000 tires. In the windshields, there are 2,000,000 square feet of glass. During January the Ford Com pany built and shipped 17,601 cars and by the end of February had made and shipped 56,000 cars against 17,555 cars for the same five months of the 1912 year. "The Ford Company has been built from an original cash capital of $28,000 until this year net profits will probaly exceed $15,000,000. Hf.iry Ford himself is said to have more actual cash on deposit than any single individual in the United States. He hit the automobile in dustry right and has made money practically all in the last five years."

ATLANTA PHYS TOO MUCH For All It Buys, Believes Mayor Woodward, Discussing the Re. ported Four Hundred Dol lar Graft. Atlanta, March 21.—Mayor Wood ward and his friends believe they see In the charge that Fire Chief Cummings accepted $400 from fire apparatus agent, the key to the enigma of why Atlanta has been forced to |>ay more than any other American city ror practically every thing she has bought in recent years. They don't mean that they think the fire chief has done any big grafting; they don’t charge that he ever got anything except this spe cific $400; but they believe that other city officials and employes have been dragging down in many in stances the same kind of petty graft on various purchases and con tracts, amounting to small' sums individually, but In the aggregate robbing the tax payers of thou sands. When Mayor Woodward first went into office, he was frank to express his suspicions that there petty graft going on. The spe eifle charge aganlBt the fire chief confirms him In the belief. Other Investigations are In progress about to be Instituted, and other charges. It Is believed, will follow. In the meantime, Chief Cummings continues to denounce as. a liar the agent R. E. Davidson, who says he slipped the chief the $400. New York, March 21.—W. A. Hall, President of a magazine com pany, was robbed In a subway here yesterday of forty-five thousand dollars in negotiable securities.

APPLEBAUMS DEFENSE Atlanta, March 21.—The first de fense of Mrs. Applebaum will be neither self-defense nor Insanity, Her lawyers will endeavor to show, by the evidence Itself, that Apple baum committed suicide. They claim that tbe direction of the wound and the stains oa the gar ments will corroborate this theory. The detectives say the circumstan tial evidence will accomplish the direct opposite result, and that be fore the trial Is over, the actual shooting will be so firmly fixed on Mrs. Applebaum that she will not be able to deny it.
