THE SCORCHING MUST STOP
Chicago Will Begin at Once the En-
forcement of Speed Laws.
The Appalling Increase of Acct
dents, Many Resulting Fatally,
Calls Loudly For a Halt.

Chicago. Oct. 11.-Reckless automo-
bile driving is to be stopped by the
authorities of Chicago. Warned by the
appalling increase in accidents, many
of them fatalities, City Electrician Ell
licott will take up with the West park
commissioners the matter of enforcing
the speed limit ordinance, and after
securing their cooperation will draft
so special policemen as a "scorcning
squadron" to arrest the drivers of all
machines that run faster than ten
miles an hour on the west side.
All the park boards have been asked
to cooperate. The South park COM
missioners have agreed to work in
collaboration with the city authorities
n the suppression of mad driving. The
West park boulevard has decided to
take up the matter at it's meeting,
Tuesday, when it will confer with the
city officials. The Lincoln park COM
missioners are expected to come in
later, though the police on the north
shore boulevard system alone have
been extremely active in stopping the
evil.
A list of accidents compiled by Mr..
Ellicott shows that since January,
1904, so mishaps have occurred in Chi
cago. Nearly every one is attributed
to reckless scorching. In some cases
the machines that manned or injured
persons in their course were speeding
at the rate of 80 and 40 miles an hour.
Three fatalities were included In the

Mr.. James Dillon, of Fleming
ton, died at that place Saturday
afternoon from blood poisong,
caused by vaccination.
The above item from a Grafton
paper of late date only goes to con-
vince us what we have all along
claimed in regard to vaccination
that the remedy is worse than the
disease and so far as we are con.
cerned, we win take our chances
with the smallpox every time. We
do not consider it necessary to take
a dose of poison for fear of getting
snake bit, at this season of the year
anyhow They have had great
many cases of smallpox at Grafton
vicinity during theipast two or three
years, and Sc far as we can recall
but one death from il, that of a
woman who was in such poor health
that any disease or illness would
have killed her, so they told ms at
Grafton. Over at Morgantown
they had a big smallpox scare last
winter and many cases Of so called
smallpox and the only death was a
poor fellow who died from vaccine
ton. However We want people to
do just as they please about such an
important matter and decide for
themselves.
