The recent reported gold strike
near Florence calls to mind the
fact that these boom camps are
started every spring. The Cham
bcr of Congress at Florence states
that it is a mineralized belt, but
that there is not, as yet, any proof
of the fabulous richness that news
reports give it. Although some
fairly good assays have been had
there is no authority for claiming
that the new camp will prove a
permanent one as vet.

A MODERN CRIME.


nality in some eastern cities re-
Gently is the attacks made upon
automobiles. Scarcely day
passes but that the eastern papers
contain accounts Of violent assaults
Of this kind and there are certain
streets and quarters of the larger
cities of the east where there is
serious danger for any one who
attempts passage in a motor car
The original cause Of these at
tacks, in which sticks and stones
are the usual weapons and which
have. had fatal results in some
cases. is undoubtedly tile wanton
disregard Of life and the rights of
the road as shown by some auto
mobilists. Horses have been
frightened, valuable animals and
cherished pets have been killed,
children have been inju' ed or have
had narrow escapes and in general
automobiles have shown an utter
indifference to the safety and the
rights Of those whom they con-
temptuously designated as clod-
hoppers or some similar term. In
case of accident the only thought
of sucl, sutomobilists has been tu
get away from the scene IS quickly
as possible and in. many cases their
victims have undergone additional
suffering as a result Of their refusal
to lend a helping hand to those
whom they have injured.
1t would be obviously unfair to
make such charges against all
automobilists. But every one
knows that they are true against
too many, even though there are
Others who are scrupulous in their
regard for the welfare and CON-
fort Of those whom they encounter
on the road.
Possibly too the newspaper para.
graphers and the cartoonists have
done something to intensity the
feeling against the cl'auffenrs and
to create a belief among tI,eignoran:
and unreasonable that all Of them
are equally offensive and equally
dangerous.
Add to this foundation Of pre-
iudicc and reasonable animosity
the enmity that is felt among GER
tain people toward tile rich merely
because they are rich, and there is
sufficient explanation Of the stone
throwing and other forms Of attack
upon automobiles and their &c.
cupants.
Yet whatever excuse may exist
for sucll crimes they are crimes
none the less and they should be
severely punished and suppressed.
And even more sternly the clnauffers
should be taught lesson that they
do not have an exclusive right on
the public highways and they
should be l.. Id to strict account

when the farmer i've or even ten miles
