PROHIBITS AUTOS
ON RIVERSIDE WAY
Park Board Resclnds Its Action
Allowing Them on That
IhOroughfare

By vote of two to one the board oP
park commissioners yesterday rescind-
ed its former action allowing automo-
lilies to use Riverside driveway, from
Summit to Marshall, and instructed
Supt Nussbaumer to engage a man to
guard the drive.
Commissioners Aberle and Topping
voted in favor Of the revocation. and
president Wheelock against it, Com
missioners Hamm and Earl being abb
sent. The board but recently voted to
permit the use of the driveway to au-
tomobiles, since which there have been
many complaints that the speed limit
has been exceeded and that the head
lights brighten horses.
Mr.. Aberle thought that it would be
good policy for the board to prohibit
the use Of the driveway by autos, at
least until it is properly lighted. He
reared that accidents would occur. and
that II such was the case the park
board would be blamed by the public.
Mr.. Topping believed that the drive
way should be reserved for the use Of
teams for the present, it having be-
come evident that the automobile
drivers would abuse the privileges
granted them. He referred to the re-
cent accident to E. A. Young to show
that the driveway is not suited to au-
tomobile driving.
Thinks 1t Unfair to Autos
President Wheelock thought that as
most of the vehicles noticed on the
streets are automobiles it would be uu-
fair to deny them the use of a drive
way such as the one under consider
alton. He commended that during the
period when the board denied autos
the use Of the driveway they had gone
through at a much more rapid gait
than since doing this to escape arrest
Tor using prohibited driveway.
Supt. NuSsbaumer said that SO far
as his knowledge extended he be-
neved that the auto driver had been
moderately careful since they were
given the use Of the driveway.
On motion of President Wheelock a
resolution was passed asking the
board of public works to make provi-
sion for the installatio- If twelve in
candescent lamps on the driveway.
the lights to be located by Supt. Nuss-
banner, it being agreed that if the
lights can be secured the use of the
driveway by automobiles will be per-
mitted.

But why are these things thus? Ev-
cry time a fellow who is considered

city he gets interviewed in some man

going to vote in his precinct, county
and district, when the chances are
that he hasn't been ten miles from
home in year. and doesn't know any
more about the political situation than
some of the men who do the politics

these stunts.-Brown's Valley Tribune.

The monopolies that own the party
will take care of that. This policy is
assured, whatever the platform may

the truth? The fact that stands out
paramount in this connection is that
for even the slightest relief from ex-
listing tariff burdens the country must
turn to the Democratic party as its
only hope. Let that be understood by
the advocates of tariff reform every
where.

HEAD THEM OFF

The majority of the board of county
commissioners yesterday rounded out
the unenviable record Of that unique
body in a very characteristic way. 1t
has been it's custom to squander the
funds at its command for road i'm
provement on patchwork repairs in
various parts of the district, of no use
whatever to the highways and valu-
able only as patronage to be peddled
out for political ends. The members
who are responsible for this became
alarmed at the progress of the move
ment to demand that road improve
ment money be expended on actual
road improvements; on permanent
highways instead of on perpetuating
mudholes and bitches. Therefore they
formed a combination and rushed
through their grab before it was too
late.
The county attorney should leave no
measure untried to prevent this bold
plan from being carried out. AS r h e
G b has said from the beginning Of
its good roads campaign, dating back
now some nine months, there is little
hope except through the reconstruct
ton of the county board. The existing
body has not majority of men who
place public interests higher than their
petty personal ends. But in the mean
time we believe it to be possible to
prevent them from doing their worst.
There is reason to think that the
blanket appropriation made, destined
for the fantastic thing. called road re-
pair, consisting of driblets of cash
spent here and there for little jobs, is
not within the letter or meaning of the
law. If we are correct in that assump-
ton, the full authority of the county
attorneys Office should be exerted to
cheekmate what is perhaps the boldest
and most reckless of the many in
stances in which the county commits
sioners have defied public opinion. The
members guilty of this act are beyond
the sting of reproach. They long ago
sealed their own fate, and are Tow
bent uPen making the most of the OPP
portunitfes remaining to them. Their
activities should be suppressed as far
as the most rigid Interpretation and
enforcement of the law can do it.

INTERNATIONAL OPERA BoUFFE


When that jolly potentate, the sui
tan Of Morocco, receives from the
hands of the villain comedian. Raisuli.
the hero comedian, Perdicaris, the cur
tain will ring down on the most enter
tanning bit of opera bouffe the world
has enjoyed for some time. In the
leading role, Perdicaris has been salts
factory throughout; in the language of
the lady novelist, he has never per-
mitted anybody to forget that he is a
perfect gentleman. And his gift of
comedy has made the fun of the show.
BY taking his pen in hand to throw
bouquets at the villain, he showed that
he not only had the perception to ap-
preciate a delicate situation, but the
humor to relieve and even embellish it.
And Raisuli too, has dressed and
looked the part. The most picturesque
villains are the Oriental villains. Raj
suli had the good taste to choose his
birthplace wisely. He would delight
the heart Of Lord Byron, were that
poet alive in this century. But the
best thing about this Morocco. bandit
is that his villainy has not been mark
ed enough to turn the comic into the
serious. He will be alive and on the
stage when the curtain rings down on
his ensemble picture of rejoicing sui
tan, Perdicaris and Marley, dancing
American sailors and French soldiers
and much Oriental scenery. The audi
ence will not be made uncomfortable
by the thought that somewhere out be-
hind the scenes his body lies, or should
lie, stiff and stark tse~
Altogether, the opera bouffe has been
an amusing one, the costumes appro-
pirate, the scenery attractive. the cast
efficient and the action rapid. It is
probable that the audience would soon
tire of this style of amusement, it being
a bit strenuous for the present pro-
sale age, were if often repeated. Al
ready it has been treated to two. the
one in which Miss Stone starred and
now this one with Perdicaris PLAYING
the stellar role. The next one may find
the audience in revolt against SO de-
termined an effort to revive the me-
dieval, and after such a revolt il is not
likely that this particular kind of in
ternational opera bouffe will be put on
again. But this time, certainly. the
audience was in a mood to be amused
by it, and. fortunately, no unpleasant
contretemps occurred to change its hu-
NOR. 1t will return to other occupa.-
tons in happy frame Of mind, with
the Stars pangled Banner" ringing
In its ears and with pleasant thoughts
for the sultan, Raisuli, Perdicaris and
the chorus of sailors and soldiers to
whose efforts are due the success Of
this international opera bouffe.

CITY MAY ADD SIX LOTS
TO ITS FAIRGROUNDS
Park Board Recommends Trade by
Which This Can BE Accomplished

A resolution was passed yesterday
by the board of park commissioners
recommending that the city trade six
lots that it owns at Gaultier and
Thomas streets for six lots at Gaultier
and Lafond, the idea being to add the
lots to be acquired to the Como avenue
public Fairgrounds.
It was claimed that the property
owners will be glad to make the trade.
as the lots they now own are SO close
to the Scheffer school and just across
the street from the Fairgrounds that
they are not likely to be used for resi-
dence purposes.
The consent of the city council and
the mayor will be necessary before
the trade con be made, but the nego-
tiations have progressed to the extent
that the owners Of the property have
agreed.
