it is interesting to watch the forces
of civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest of the Twen¬
tieth Century.
The struggle is a silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con¬
flict but the results are more far
reaching to present and future gen¬
erations than the war of Europe.
1 he rubber tire has been maneuver¬
ing for point of attack for several
years and has captured a few unim¬
portant positions in traffic, but it has
now pitched a decisive battle with
its iron competitor by hurling a mil¬
lion “jitneys” at the street railways
and the battie is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result of the
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. If it is compelled to re¬
treat, its doom is sealed, but if it wins
the battle it will revolutionize the
transportation methods of this nation.
If the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic its next struggle is with
the railroads of the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
of this earth is on, for iron is the un¬
disputed master in transportation, and
is fortified behind billions of dollars,
and millions of men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1814, but it was 1869
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands of
steel. It took the iron tire fifty-five
years to creep from ocean to ocean,
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys¬
ses. The roadbed was already pre¬
pared and therein lies the power of
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
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
full force against this monarch of
the Mineral Kingdom, it may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov¬
ery.
The rubber tire first made its ap¬
pearance on the bicycle, but it proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. It has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as a utility ma¬
chine and its reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to waft into
dreamland, it is enchanting to note
that there will be a marvelous differ¬
ence between a rubber and an iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
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 par¬
alyze the law making bodies of this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on?

FEDERAL INDUSTRIAL
By Peter Radford.
The recent Investigation of the
United States Commission of Indus¬
trial 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
parallel columns. always been
Capital and labor have
glaring at each other over gulfs of
misunderstanding and if the Federal
Industrial Commission attempts to
bridge the chasm, it will render the
public a distinct service.
The farmer has been sitting on the
fence watching capital and labor fight
for many years and incidentally furn¬
ishing the sinews of war and it is
quite gratifying to find them talking
with, instead of about, each other.
When honest men smile and look into
each other’s souls, it always makes
the world better and far more satis¬
factory to the farmer, who in the end,
bears the burden of conflict, than
resolutions, speeches or pamphlets
containing charges and counter¬
charges. the
The love for justice makes
whole world kin. Understanding is an
arbiter far more powerful than the
mandates of government, for there is
no authority quite so commanding as
an honest conscience; there is no de¬
cree quite so binding as that of the
Supreme Court of Common Sense and
no sheriff can keep the peace quite so
perfect as Understanding.
We suppose the time will never
come when capital and labor will not.

ning flashes of avarice or frightened
by the thunder peals of discontent.
But Understanding is a Prince of
Peace that ever holds out the olive
branch to men who want to do right.

thing for in it are the hope, ambition
and opportunity of himself, and fam¬

heart quite so divine as^ Justice and

that enslaved labor of generations yet

from drudgery, ano lifted the human
race into a higher zone of life.
As Nelson organized the English navy
and made England mistress of the sea,
enabling the British Isles to plant her
flag upon every continent washed by
the ocean’s waves, and to make foot¬
stools of the Islands of every water,
Morgan organized a banking system
chat has made America master of the
world’s finances, brought Kings to our
cashier’s windows, the nations of the
earth to our discount desks and placed
under the industries of this nation a
financial system as solid as the Rock
of Gibraltar.
There is no study quite so interest¬
ing as progress; no sound so magic
as the roar of industry and no sight
so inspiring as civilization in action.
A full realization of America’s part in
the great events of the world past,
present and future will thrill every
human heart with pride, patriotism
and faith in Republican institutions.
