The Auto Speed Craze.

1t seems to be the case in many COM
munities, notably in the large cities
and their environs, that the speed
mania had got into the brains Of court
officials and the police as we'll as the
drivers Of automobiles. When a high
speeding auto driver is arrested the
| question Of his liability turns on his
rate of speed. If it cannot be proved
that he exceeded a fixed rate he goes
free.
Now, the question for the public is
not the rate Of speed, but the menace
to life and limb, and that may be pres
ent when the machine is going ten
miles an hour and absent when it is
flying along at the rate Of a mile a
minute. The speed should be adjusted
to the nature and conditions Of the
traffic and use of the highway and
should not be such as to endanger the
life or limb Of any person or the safe
ty of any property. In other words,
the rate of speed is of small moment
to the public, but the amount Of dan
ger involved is of vital Importance.
There is one simple way to enforce
this idea. The license of a railway or
stationary engineer or a steamboat
pilot who is reckless or incompetent is
revoked. The reckless motorist should
be deposed. He not only should be
made to smart for impairing life and
limb, but for endangering life and
limb. No special danger signal is need
ed to warn him. His signal is a thor
oughfare ahead occupied by pedes-
TRANS or vehicles or both.

COCK FIGHTING AN ISSUE
Secretary Taft May Pc Called up'n to
Settle Serious Cuban Question.
SUSPENSION OF. SPORT HURTS BUSINESS
since Laborers Cannot Bet on Fight"
They VIII Not work Full Time,
Thus Curtaning Pro-
duction.

WASHINGTON, March Gone OF the
questions that probably will confront Sec
rotary Taft upon his arrival In Cuba In
the course OF a few weeks will be the
propriety and policy OF abrogating Governor
General Woods decree forbidding COCK
fighting in Cuba. An overwhelming ma
jority of the Cubans themselves demand the
right TO fight their chickens as they have
done for several years, even since the APP
plication of the Wood decree, though the
sport has been necessarily conducted
clandestinely. 1t was the arrest OF num-
Der OF prominent Cubans. including at
least one presidential candidate, for at
tending a cock fight, that brought on the
crisis and caused Governor Magoon to
promise that he would consider the petitions
that were presented, asking for the Alb
rogation OF the decree. Nearly all the
planters prefer cock fighting, according to
those who have recently been In Cuba.
When the sport nourished. the Cuban
laborer worked four days a week to sup
port his family Another days wages he
set apart for the lottery and the last Of
the secular days he worked in order that
he might secure funds to back his favorfte
cock In the pit Now that the lottery and
cock hghting have been stopped the laborers
and farm hands simply stop work for the
last two days OF the week having no In
centtve TO continue. This practice Is said
to have really Injurious effect upon the
development OF the island industry and to
have considerably curtailed production.
Probably Secretary Taft viii adopt the
expedient OF permitting cock lighting out

cities just as he did in the Philippines 20

Christian Science bill provides those of this
faith who care for the sick must conform
to the same regulations as physicians IN
reporting the existence Of contagious dis
eases. Davis of Cass argued that the pres
ent law compelled them to do this and a
result of his statement he and McMullen
of Gage had very spirited and at times
personal debate in which each accused the
other of not knowing what he was talking
about and each accused the other OF not
knowing anything about Christian Science
and a whole lot more things. McMullen
made the statement that the Christian Sci
-ence healer did not recognize disease and
this inspired Davis to yell that the state
ment Is uBtrue.'' Davis moved an amend
ment to exclude Scientists from the provi-
sions Of the bill, but this was defeated
and the measure was recommended for
