CURB NEEDLESS MOTOR DANGER.

With summer about to claim the at

They are curious to see what world
records will be broken, if the various
classes Of honors will witness any
great reduction in time, whether the
achievement be that Of driving a car
the fastest mile or making the best
time in world girdling trial.
With all the extravagant efforts be-
ing made with both money and brains,
and consequent risk to bones, to In
crease the going ability of the mod
ern auto, it is doubtful whether there
is as much conservative care used in
keeping it within its proper bounds Of
power as should be the case in it's more
common use, on street and road.
Whenever an automobile in a city
like MarshalltoWn exceeds the speed
which caution would dictate it is par
ticularly noticeable for the reason that
this is the metropolis of an agricul-
tural section and the Mecca for many
farmers with good old nags that are
not so used to the automobile as they
are to the locomotive. They can stand
the snort and scream of the iron mon

rails, but the hum and honk of the
auto are strange.

when it comes to making a short turn
and most of the designs have much
to accomplish in this direction. With
the advent of the hot season and the
consequent increase in travel, on dry
country roads, the meeting Of the nag
and its nemesis Is sure to be more
frequent and the need for care on the
part Of both driver and the engineer Of
the machine will be greater Every one

PAGEANT OF THE PLow HORSE.

An innovation In which the morse
figures as the central attraction and
which is apparently becoming i'm
mensely popular in many leading cities
of this country as well as in those Of
Europe, is the commercial horse par
ade. At Columbus, Ohio, recently, an
exhibition OF this nature was held in
which $50 superb work horses and liz
vehicles formed a pageant which was
an event in the history OF the city.
Two professors Of the Ohio Agricul-
tural college were among the judges,
the parade being patronized by the
leading commercial houses OF Column
bus, the Buckeye Transfer and Storage
company forming the rear guard Of the
imposing spectacle with twelve-horse
team. Not only the commercial
houses but the municipal departments
Of the city were represented with their
best turn-outs and whips. There were
no prizes distributed. but the best
horses and drivers We're recognized
with medals and ribbons appropriate
to the occasion.
Each Of the metropolitan cities Of the
country has its organized horse show
association which holds an annual ex-
hibition that is fast becoming star
feature of the seasons entertainment,
and not only professional horsemen
and others specially interested from q
financial standpoint attend these gath
erings, but also representatives Of the
wealth, beauty and fashion of the city,
even to society leaders, come to pay
tribute to mans noblest, friend, the
horse.
Everyone is familiar with the pre-
diction so freely and frequently made,

THE ALDRICH SUB TREAsURY."
oSioux City Tribune)
IT is true, as The Tribune has been
reminded, that the Aldrich currency
scheme is not identical with the sub
treasury plan OF the farmers alliance
and the populists Of the two preceding
decades. But the difference is not in
principle but in detail. Aldrich attains
the same end by indirection that the
populists sought ito get ito directly.
The sub treasury scheme Of the all
lance and populists contemplated the
advance to the producer directly by
the government on pledge of his pro-
duce. The farmer or planter would de-
posit his grain or cotton in the gov
eminent warehouse, receive his GER
tificate of deposit, cash 1t in at the
nearest depository of public funds at
80 per cent of its market value, and
sign an q eree~ent TO pay / per cent
on it upon redemption.
Instead of dealing directly with the
farmer, Aldrich and his associates,
with their characteristic preference for
special privilege and special interests.
