Regulating the Auto.

Rural communities have exhausted
the armory of weapons against auto
mobilists, and with varying success.
The mutual feeling aroused by the
warfare has not been favorable to the
spirit of Christian affection. 1t has
remained for Middleboro, Mass, to
adopt the gentle measure. 1t is to be
hoped the result will justify the
means, and that Middleboro will be a
safe leader in the middle way between
the Scylla Of auto traps and the
Charybdis Of lightning flights of devil
wagons" In Middleboro, says the
Troy Times, the Automobile club has
asked permission to take the matter
IN hand and to meet out-oftown chauf-
feurs with a red flag and card.
Halted by the flag, the chauffeur is
handed the card, which bears these
words: "The selectmen of Middleboro
are going to stop fast driving through
this town. Before resorting to several
permanent traps they have kindly
given the Middleboro Automobile club
permission to try and regulate this
traffic. Won't you personally help us
when going through by running not
faster than IL miles an hour? You
can go through the town at 12 miles
an hour in five minutes; if you go fast
you cannot go in less than two and a
half minutes. Will you not do your
part in helping to make traps unnec.
essary in Middleboro?" II Middleboro
can make the rural constable and the
driver OF the "chug chug'' vehicle
walk together in peace, it will deserve
the rewards attending at least one OF
the beatitudes.

A Matter Of Honor.


The-regulations introduced by Secre
tary of the Treasury Cortelyou appear
to work to everybody's satisfaction.
Under the new system passengers are
put upon their honor in declaring the
nature and value Of their possessions,
while ample time is given to prepare
and sign the formal declarations to the
customs authorities, and there is no
long delay and tiresome searching of
personal effects upon landing. The
new system was in full force and ef-
feet when the American line steamer
New York arrived at the city after
The ship had big load of passengers,
and there was much delight over the
changed arrangements One passen-
ger thus enthusiastically expressed

sengers in the saloon and forcing
them to feel as if they were undesira-
BILE citizens by an inquisition that was
not only unpleasant to them but also
to the acting deputy collectors asking
the questions. You cannot fancy what
a relief it was to be able to come up
the bay out on the deck of the steam
ship instead of in the close saloon.
Sometimes we never got glimpse Of
the city until we were almost in dock,
and sometimes We never got Whit Of

you in making this innovation, says
the Troy Times, has given new proof
of his realization Of public needs. By
the change thus wrought he has swept
away all cause for complaint that the
government is unduly exacting and In.

Strenuous College Presidents.

The old ideal Of college president
u seldom realized nowadays except in
some small and backward institution.
He was rather aged and always vener.
able. His aspect was spiritual. His
vision was fixed upon the eternal veri.
ties. He was prone to deep abstrac.
ton. He was always a doctor OF
divinity. He had cloistral air and q
cloistral voice. and he was at home
only when talking on philosophy,
theology and metaphysics. The hu.
manities and the classes were his
realm and the realm of his institution.
All that has changed. declares Current
Literature. The university president
Of to-day is "a good MIXER" as the
politicians say. He has the air of q
man Of AFFAIRS. He may be venerable,
but he doesn't pride himself on the
fact and he doesn't care to look 80.
He is no longer Of necessity a preach.

classical sense.
