The Automobile Problem.

The automobile is an important fac
tor In the development of our modern
life: says the Brattleboro Phoenix.
The world, not such a long time ago
was content to get along with out
steamships, railroads, telegraph and
telephont systems, because It knew
nothing of these things. Now these
are all virtually necessities, and the
automobile is coming into the same
class in providing a quick and easy
means of transportation. 1t brings
the physician to the scenes of acct
dent in time to save life when any
other means OF locomotion would be
futile and in the multitudinous affairs
of the day 1t frequently plays an i'm
portant part The automobile, like
other good things, has brought prob
lem with 1t, and that problem is ade-
quate provision for the public safe
ty.
The daily papers fairly teen with
shocking stories Of automobile acct.
dents. 1t is rare day which does
not see additions to the casualty list,
and for the most part the disasters
are due to reckless driving. The au-
tomobile is simply a powerful engine,
guided frequently by inexperienced
hands over an ordinary roadway at
speed rivaling that of the locomotive
which runs on rails over a specially
prepared roadbed in charge of a
trained engineer. The danger lies
not only to those who ride but to
those who do not get out of their
way. The figures of the Safe Roads
association of Massachusetts, show
ing 62 people killed outright and $50
injured in the Bay state alone in a
year, proves that the problem is one
not to be ignored. In time, with a
more general use of machines, the
automobile. question will work itself
Down 70 a fixed and permanent basis
under uniformity of law The Out.
look, one of the most progressive
magazines Of the country, makes
some suggestions for automobile
regulation which are out of the ordi-
nary, as follows:
1. Making all reckless driving a
penal offense punishable by fine or
imprisonment or both: leaving the
court to determine, under all the
circumstances of the case, whether
the driving was reckless or not 2
A certain normal rate of speed, any
excess of speed raising a legal pre-
sumption that the driving was reck-
less. and throwing the burden OF proof
upon the driver to show that II, was
not 3. For a second offense, the
Imprisonment of the automobile. II

srRoNo HUGHES aENrIMENr
Close Friend Of President Gives Out
Interview.

oyster Bay, Sept. president
.Rooseyelt's attitude in regard to the
IGubernatorial situation in New York
is reflected in an interview given out
by Rev. DR. Ferdinand Q. Inglehart, an
intimate friend of the President and
city superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League and pastor of the New York
Conference of the Methodist Church.
DR.. Inglehart was with the President
for some time and the question of the
denomination OF Governor Hughes was
taken up. 1t is said the President ex.
pressed great surprise at the state
ment made by Timothy L. Woodruff,
which party leaders looked upon as
def to the President and said he
had not thought the state leader
would do such thing.
After the conference DR.. Inglehart
said that he was delighted to find
that the views he held and those
which the President holds were in
perfect harmony on the question OF
the denomination OF Governor
Hughes.
"The President" said DR.. Inglehart
told me that he had no disposition tC
denomination upon the leaders of the
Republican party, but he did moi
hesitate to say that he thought II
would be political wisdom to place
Governor Hughes at the head of the
ticket again this coming election"
DR.. lnglehart said there was NJ
doubt In his mind about the genera
desire of the church people through
out the state for the denomination o
Governor Hughes.
Some votes would be lost by the re
Nomination of Governor Hughes tn
doctor admitted, but he believed tina
where two or three would be los
dozens would be gained CONTINUING
he said:
There is little doubt that revol
from the Republican ranks will be dis
astrous If Governor Hughes shall nc
be nominated, as the feeling on tn
question is so deep that the revol
against the ticket will be calamitoui
ITO turn down a man like Cove
nor Hughes, who has not only stat
but national reputation for politics
integrity, would, in my judgment,
political folly. 1t seems TO me tina
there is a large stick of dynamite !
this political camp which, withou
most careful handling, is in imminen
danger of exploding. There are sple
did men in the Republican party, an
one of whom would make a goo
Governor, but no man, however abb
or virtuous, would be accepted as
substitute for Governor Hughes nov
that the issue has been drawn so dis
tinctly.
I'VE do not believe the Republica
leaders. many of whom are person
of good judgment and high mora
ideals. will commit the colossa blur
der of turning him down. We ar
strengthened in these convictions b
the interview have just had with tn
President, who is political leader

"settina the River on Fire."

In old English times, when each
family was obliged to sift its own -four,
it sometimes happened that an ener-
getic man would turn his sieve so rap
idly as to causc 1t to catch fire. The
style Of sieve. used in those days was
called a ''temse," and it became a cus
tomary saying that 4 lazy man would
lever set the tense on fire. Now, 1t
happens that the name Of the river
Thames is pronounced like the name
of this old -four sieve, and after many
years. when the old fashioned tense
was forgotten, it was thought that set
ting the tense on fire meant setting
the river on fire, and that Is why to-
day we say that q stupid person will

Humor ane Philosophy
BY DUNCAN NJ. SMITH
FORGET IT SOMETIMES.

You can make your labor double
II 0 worry over it,
Carrying the burden with you
After other folks have quit,
Laying it as a companion
On the pillow by your head
When you really should forget It
AS you nestle down in bed.
Worrying, dear little children.
Will not get you anywhere.
Nor will it the PAGES quicken
or the staid and ancient mare.
1t. When you have missed connections
viii not make the train delay,
Nor will it the bill collector
From the doorstep chase away.
Worrying won't buy the baby
Shoes to warm It's little feet.
Worrying will never purchase
A supply of things to eat.
Worrying will not unaided
Prove a remedy for corns,
Nor present you a dilemma
Minus such a thing as horns.
Nor can worrying exactly
BE as an amusement classed.
There are other joys that truly
Have it very far surpassed.
But perhaps, defending worry,
You may argue it Is cheap.
But that doesn't make it lovely
Cut 1T out and go to sleep!
