We stand lor a better town and a belter county. And a better Stat*. We are publishing elsewhere in this Issue an address to the people by Senator Tillman. He wau's the people to get together and to forget factional lines. Now, we certainly are with the senator in this matter but in our opinion he has adopted a mighty poor way in bringing such about. You can scarcely get people to come together by calling them ugly tames and telling them that you aud those who agree with you are right and ali other fel ivv?? are muug uuu mm. iiieir icauers and those they have trusted and supported are thoroughly bad and deserve and have his "scorn and cono-Mpt." We want to see the people get together, but as we see it, there must be mutual concession. No other policy will bring about the brave days of old "W hen the rich man loves the poor muu And the poor man loved the great; When none was for a faction, And ad were for the State." This is our ideal and one for which we think all should strive.

MOTOKS IX WAK. Peoria Firm Furnishes Big Protected Trucks to Lugiaud. Washington, Sept. ,9.?The British "Tanks" the armored motor cars used in recent assaults on German trenches in Northern France so successfully as to attract world-wide attention, were built for the most part in Peoria, Ills., as caterpillar tract- j ors, designed many years before the war began, to meet some of the difficult problems of modern farming. Except for the armor, their machine guns and their crews, thousands like them are in use today in the United States in plowing, diggiug ditches and other labors less heroic than wax*. M. M. Baker, vice-president of the Holt Manufacturing Co., explained here today that it was machines made by his company at its l'eoria plant that had hurdled German trenches, walked through forests and crawled over shell craters in the face of Intense rifle and machine gun lire. "It is hrue," said Mr. Ihik. r. "that these tractosv can go ahead over most anything. They can straddle a trench, go through a swamp. x*o.; over logs, or climb through shell craters like a car or a juggernaut. It looks uueanny to see them crawl nlong the ground just like a hughe caterpillar. In a thick forest if the. encountered trees they ccould not brush out of their way they cou easily be used t'* **-proot thorn and clear their own paths."
