AutO Regulation Needed.

Whether automobiles are to be regarded
in the light of road vehicles come to stay, or
whether as fad which will 60 out of fash
ion in a short while, the great majority rec.
ognize the fact that their use on the public
highways is not sufficiently regulated with
reference to the great majority who bavc
long standing claims to the same privilege.
Considering the comparatively few autos
in use in the country, the accidents directly
due to them are frightfully numerous, to the
extent that it may well be asked whether the
pleasures and privileges CT the few do not
uniustly cncroach on the necessities as well
as the privileges of the many, out OF all just
proportion.
We think that it is possible for the legis.
lature to enact a law which will be just To
all parties interested Evidently, it would
be foolish to attempt to prevent the use of
our public roads 10 the auto, as some favor,
but surely there should he rigid regulation
of their speed, especially through towns and
on the roads when passing teams. 1t would

and property of those less favored (?) than

the way or take consequences.

Gasoline Cars instead of
TrOIllys.

Gasoline as q motive power is no longer
an experiment. The speed and endurance
of the ordinary automobile is sufficient proof
of this. Moreover the utilizing of gasoline
instead of electric motors in the operation of
rapid transit cars between local and subur-
ban points, has been recently put to practi-
cal commercial use by the Union Pacific
Railway company.
In an interview had with the president
and manager of trolley company who had
intended equipping their II mile road with
electricity, said that they would install the
gasoline motor cars instead which IN their
line of road would mean saving Of $4,000
to 100000 In construction alone, and the
cost OF operation reduced fully one fourth
If this be true, then there is no reason why
the railroad between here and Frederick
cannot be equipped with these motor cars
and likewise save at least $4,000. Let this
matter be thoroughly investigated by our
railroad people who are going to build this
line of road

(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT

IRON OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE
Saturday, October 7, 1905.
Secretary Shaw's suggestion that the
Treasury deficit showed signs of dis
appearing has created a great deal OF
interest. 1t is true that in the last
month there has been slight improve
ment in the financial situation. 1t is
no longer likely that the Spanish war
taxes will have to be reimrosed to meet
the emergency, but it is quite possible
that there may be small tax on coffee
at the coming session of Congress- 1t
is said that tax of three cents pound
on the coffee imported into this coun-
try would raise $30,000,00O a year and
that would do a good deal in balancing
the income and expenditure. 1t would
also be in line with the Republican
policy of protection as the island pos
session now under the control of the
United States would be quite able to
supply the home demand If they were
given the requisite encouragement. 1t
is also suggested that the imposition OF
the import tax might not cost the con-
sumer anything as Brazil might remit
her export tax with a view to saving
her great market in this country.
Secretary Wilson made suggestion
at the cabinet meeting this week that
met with the approval Of the President
and of the other members Of the cabi-
net. 1t was to pay the cost OF the
meat inspection over which there has
been so much discussion by making the
packers pay small fee on each carcass
so inspected. This fee would pay for
the inspection and also for the meat
labels which now cost the government
about $65,O00 annually. The secre-
tary said that the money thus earned
would pay for the additional inspectors
needed to carry on the work in all the
packing houses that asked for them,
and while it would be no great burden
on the individual packers, it would DO
away with all the talk Of favorism that
has been so freely INDUCED in.

Wounds, Bruises and Burns.

By applying an antiseptic dressing
to wounds, bruises, burns and like in
iuries before inflammation sets in, they
may be healed without maturation and
in about one-third the time required
by the old treatment. This is the
greatest discovery and triumph Of
modern surgery. Chamberlain's Pain
Balm acts on this same principle. 1t
is an antiseptic and when applied to
such injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also allays the pain and
soreness and prevents any danger OF
blood poisoning. Keep a bottle OF
Pain Balm in your home and it will
save you time and money, not to men
ton the inconvenience and suffering
such injuries entail. For sale at Wa

The possibilities of the road from here to
Frederick are greater than those of the F. &
NJ. from the fact that it will traverse a very
thlckly populated country, and have num-
bers OF villages as feeders, such as Yellow
Springs, Charlesville, Mountaindale, Lewis,
town, Utica and Catoctin, and when it
reaches here it will draw from such other
places as Creagerstown, Graceham, Frank
linville, Deerfield. Sabillasvile, Foxvile and
Garfield. This is something the F. 81 NJ.
never had and never will have.
Then taking the road from here to En-
mitsburg, it will strike all that very thickly
settled country between here and the Col
lege and then the two institutions, Mt. ST.
Mary's and Mt. ST. Joseph's will contribute
much to the road from this and outside of
Emmitsburg itself We hope our Emmits-
burg people will respond to the efforts be
ing made, as our interests are mutual aud
the benefits to be obtained are equal. We
have in mind ultimately, the two objective
points, Washington and Gettysburg, but let
us build from Frederick to Emmllsburg, and
the balance will take care Of itself.
