Once More the Auto.

The Indianapolis auto races cost the
first day four lives, the third day three
lives. Others may be added from the
list of injured. The daily general
average of deaths on the road is mean
while kept up. So hazardous an occu-
patton as ballooning and aeroplane in
vention has been by comparison with
automobiling singularly free from IA
tai accident The submarine boat in
the navies of the world has no such
CHASTITY record, even in proportion to
the number using it, as the fast auto.
A post in a powder mill is safer.
Yet the automobile should be a
beneficent invention. Properly used.
it is safer than horse-drawn vehicle.
1t can be guided more accurately and
stopped more quickly. 1t knows Meth
er fright nor fatigue. OF proper weight
and speed and when unprovided with
spikes or chains. it does not destroy
the roads. For trucking. for use as a
farm wagon, for omnibus work and as
a pleasure vehicle the automobile
should be invaluable.
Such use OF it already is made: but
the speed maniacs who destroy the
roads, who try to kill bridge tenders
and policemen and who do in so many
cases kill themselves and others have
badly hurt a great industry. Neither
on track nor road has the high power
auto any legitimate function. 1t is an
express engine running wild without

Prudent men who use autos for pleas.
ure or business are at the mercy OF
the maniacS.
The simplest plan of preventing
auto speeding is to permit no auto
within the state. on track or road
which is structurally capable of ex
ceeding the speed limit If this or
other effective steps be taken, il
careless driving were effectively pun
ished. if manufacturers were to devote
to making autoing safe and pleasant
the energy they now expend on max
ing it fast, hazardous and hideous. the
business would prosper as it has never
yet done and the auto be hailed as q
blessing and not a scourge.

Cooke an Ideal Candidate.

Edwardsville Intelligencer: There
is solid satisfaction as wen as SEN
timent in the nomination by the demo
Gratis of the fourth district of George
A. Cooke of Aledo as their candidate
for the supreme bench. to succeed the
late Judge Guy c. Scott. The senti-
ment lies in the fact that they were
both from the same region, the same
community, and were law partners.
associated together for some time in
a bond which led each to respect and
appreciate the other.
The solid satisfaction is express
ible in many ways. having largely TO
do with Mr. Cooks personality. his
qualities and attainments. He halls
from Mercer county, up in the north
western portion of the state, where
the Mississippi. after its westward
turn around Rock Island county,

graphically, the democratic candidate
is located most acceptably to pre-
serve the location balance that is
considered desirable by so many.
AS a man Mr.. Cooke possesses the
regard. the esteem and the admira-
, ton of his associates. neighbors and
acquaintances Clean cut, honest and
frank in his communications with
those about him, he is of the moral
| fiber essentially necessary for a
Judge. no matter what the legal lore
a man possesses George A. Cooke
besides having the judicial tempera-
ment. has with it a knowledge of law,
i not only the essentials of pleading
and practice, but he has a grasp of
| fundamentals. a knowledge of con-
F., stitutional holdings. of the basic prin-
! ciples underlying the code.
Thus we'll equipped there is no
question that Mr. Cookies neighbors
and friends of the fourth district will
embrace the opportunity on Septem-
/ Der % to elevate him to the highest
| judicial position in the state.

Presidents Right to Privacy.

After one of the most trying times
succeeding his Inauguration that any
of our chief executives has known.
President Taft has gone TO Beverly to
enjoy a few weeks vacation and rest
before he begins an arduous passage
over the country. In all literalness he
should be allowed to enjoy" his stay
at his summer home.
But if he is besieged by placemen
and office-seekers, and to some extent
by curious people eager TO look at the
president of the United States, his
vacation will be broken and he will
not be able to get the repose he must
require. 1t would seem that ordinary
breeding would suggest to anybody the
Improperly of intruding upon the re-
tirement of gentleman. even if he
happens to be the head of this nation
when he wants to be alone.
If the job hunters and axe grinders
will not leave him alone for the next
three or four weeks, the president
would be well within his personal
rights if he served notice on the whole
mob of them that a visit to Beverly
will be sufficient to bring no TO
the undesired callers application for
anything.

"corroborative evidence" clause Of the
state law.
Alabama's scheme is to make the
possession of United States certificates
primary and presumptive, not cor
roborative evidence. This involves an
attack on the revenue raising laws of
the United States, an attack absolute
ly unmasked and vital. With such a
statute on the books of every state
nearly $7,000,O00 of revenue would be
taken from the United States in spec
ial tax certificates alone; and the col
lection of s156.O0O000 altogether from
taxes on spirits would be seriously
menaced.
Whether such state law is consti-
iutional or not will be settled, not by
Alabama bur by the nations supreme
court That is the really significant
fact

The Court Will Decide.

A bill passed by the lower house of
the Alabama legislature proposes to
legalize the arrest of any person pos
sessing United States license for the
sale of liquor without the formality of
securing any other evidence or even
OF alleging any specific act in viola
lion of the state law, says the Brook
iyn Eagle. An old issue is thus fornN
lated in a shape for logic to tackle
IL freely. We have no doubt that if
Inc bill becomes law, the logicians
on the bench of the United States su-
preme court will do their duty.
Maine made the possession of fed.
eral license certificates corroborative
evidence of violation of her LIQUOR law

was thwarted. The federal courts
however, did not interfere with tn
