The question is now being discussed
whether the automobile craze" will
ever die ont Perhaps it will but it
is not as likely to as the bicycle fad
did. One great feature that the auto
has over the bicycle to keep it to the
front at all times is that its generated
power is not human. In all probabili.

THE oIrY's ONE POOR CHARGE.

II is q very fortunate ana really re-
markablc state of anais that exists in
this city ms far MS having to care for
destitute persons is concerned. II I'M
doubtcdly can be said with all safety
that there Is not another city in the
United states of the size of Newport
Nows that has only one person de-
pendent upon the municipality for
their maintenance. AMl tha; Warwick
county does not have to maintain Il
poor house probably has no equal In
the country where thee is a popua-
ton OF any extent in the county.
That the city and county are 80
we'll off in this respect speaks we'll for
the prosperity of the community and
the thrift of its people. Even in the
thrifty New England villages it is
rare thing not to find cases where
there are not town charges Wen
filled poor houses are established In.
stltutions and are maintained only ut
Il cost OF thousands OF dollars year.
And Yet many of these SELF same New
Englanders regard us in the light of
rshiftloss people Perhaps they can
explain to their own satisfaction how
1t Is possible for a city and county
not to have what they call public
charges ON their hands while they
do have, though they are the thrifty

Many worthless remedies that

This has naturally increased

will reach the most remote

Folk Threatens Legislature

We note from jefferson City
dispatches to the metropolitan
press that Gov. Folk is holding
the Peck resolution for a prohi
bition amendment as a club over
certain members of the legIsla,
ture to force them to pass some
of his pet measures. If such is
the case We think the threat
will fail. Everybody knows
that Gov Folk Is NO prohibit
ZIONIST, and that he would rath.
er see his pet measures defeat
ed than have Institutional
amendment united to the
people. 1t is our opinion that,
while the Democrats are held
responsible for the legislation
now, they would lose nothing
by submitting to the question.
In fact no party in power ever
lost prestige by submitting pop
ular questions to a vote of the
people. The truth is. il there
Is any great demand for the
submission of the question the
legislature should pass the res
oluliou. and let the people vote
on It Tue Governors threats
will hardly scare them. Hunts,
