New Auto Speed Law.

According to the new law govern
ing the speed of automobiles, a man
with a good horse can make the driv-
err OF an auto eat his dust. The new
law provides that in passing a horse
conveyance, the speed of an auto
shall not exceed six miles an hour.
So all the driver has to do is to keep
his horse going a little faster than
six miles an hour and the auto will
have TO keep in the background or
take the chances of getting pulled.
But the presumption is that both the
man in the automobile and the man
in the rig drawn by horse will exer-
else their common sense and show
each other the civility that should
exist between man and man.

Transporting Dynamite.

The explosion of car load of dy-
Mantle at Atlanta may throw some
light on the recent Indiana explosion.
In this. case the dynamite was billed
as percussion caps" If dynamite is
allowed to go under a name that
would mislead those who have TO
handle it, or be in the vicinity of it.
The very fact that false billing was
made indicates that it was shipped
either in violation of the law or in
violation of the rules of the road,
and in either case the offenders
should be punished.-Indianapolis

New Idea in Public Schools.

Escanaba, in Michigan, has adopted
a new idea in public schools. 1t ex-
cludes from the public schools boys
who use tobacco, drink intoxicants
and who frequent pool rooms or 9TH
er bid places. Probably the boys are
glad Of it. The city should go step
further and put them into a school
by themselves under teacher with
police powers. Their exclusion from
the public schools is good plan, but
provision should be made for them.

The Rebuke of Radicalism.

Chicago, the most radical city in
the world, the hotbed of isms. has re-
pudiated carpetbag government, pup
pet government, petticoat govern
ment, and pipe dream government. 1t
has rejected Hearst with his imported
and native mudslingers and SANDER
ers, Dunno the mechanical doll, Post
the single taxer with anarchy on the
side, Haley, DeBe--, and the whole
crew of female politicians and other
long haired freaks. Chicago is a rad
ical city and has made radical
change.
The voters of the city have voiced
their protest against the debauchery
of the public schools, the prostitu-
ton of the police department, and the
wrecking of the fire department. They
have set the definite seal of their dis
approval on immediate municipal
ownership of the Dunno variety. They
have shown that they consider turn
ing wheels on commodious cars more
important than mental wheels, prac-
tice more than theory, fact more than
fancy.
The radicalism which has been re-
buked is the spurious kind. The gen
uine radicalism, that deep rooted trust
in the good sense of the plain people
which characterized Abraham Lin
coin has triumphed. The education
of the children so as to fit them to
be good citizens, useful, happy, and
progressive, is more important than
psychological experimentation, and
the protection of young people from
the lures of open vice or from unre-
strained thuggery is more important
than the theories of sociological
cranks. The people have voted So

Thou Shalt Not Kill.

The recent acquittal of two young
Virginians who had murdered the
beti aver of their sister has led an
enthusiastic citizen, who is also a
State senator of that State, to propose
that the "unwritten law under which
they we're cleared be written and
placed on the statute books. The
statesman would perhaps approve of
a modification of the sixth command
ment SC that it shall read: Thou
shalt not kill except where family

Comply with Liquor Law.

The New York Central Railroad
company has determined to comply
with the law requiring railroads that
sell liquor on dining and buffet cars
to pay license fee of $1,000 for each
road and has taken out licenses for
the Big Four for the Michigan Cen
trail and for the Lake Shore. 1t is
understood that other railroad lines
will do likewise. Several of the small
er roads are doubtful if it will pay to
carry liquor at such prices for IL
censes, but the companies admit that
it may result in loss CT patronage il
they fail TO do so. = -

AlL-HIGH SCHOOL
TEAM FINALLY PICKED

The All-High School base ball team which
is to play the freshmen team of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania next Saturday at
Franklin Field was yesterday announced
by Coach James Sprigman.
1t has been remarked that Mr.. Sprigman's
selections have been of the best Judgment
and that the material is strong and should
give the Pennsylvania boys considerable
trouble. The majority of the players were
selected from the western outfit this team
having five of It's representatives in the
lineup. Teck Is second with four repre-
sentatives and Central has one in line,
while no player on either Eastern or Bust
ness could furnish enough all around base
ball to qualify.
The job of selecting players was not an
easy matter for Mr.: Sprigman, especially
at this time of the year, when the boys of
the different teams have not been out on
the field enough to give the coach line on
their ability.
1t was given out that two pitchers will

it, but said In confirmation that he believed

to wait until the ball Is almost up to him
