object. there viii never be any seu.i-

There is one great drawback 70 the
many beautiful features OF Washington.
according 10 DR.. Herbert S Archer. OF
San Francisco. who IS at the Arlington.
and that IS the automobile oil. noise. and
8 odor nuisance
II Washington Is g model city. as Il
4 s supposed TO be. from every point OF
7 view. said Dr. Archer. why do not the
( powers that be draft an ordnance OF
I police regulation prohibiting speeding. the
\ expulsion af Objectionable fumes and
I OdOrs. the spilnng II OI or grease. and
[ the rekiug OF unnecessary noise with
auto horns and otherwise2
The automobiles Of this CITY can. a.
least be smelled II they cannot be heard.
I have never been IN t,-vn where tie
. auto drivers are accorded 50 much in

line seems 70 have its own way. Some
thing should be done 20 stop these nEis-
aaces and make Washington what It was
intended 20 be by its sOunder-a model
city IN every respect
Let the Washington city authorities

OF the city the noisy auto. the smelling

Prohibition is bad. according TO Michael

abandoned" said Mr. Moran, because q

tinctions. and unjust IN its applicartSA
TN the first place, Il IS mistaken IN its
method OF attempting 20 build up human
character and human society. It Is pur-
suing IN its grossest form the mistake OF
the hermits OF the Middle Ages WHO tried

themselves from the sight and sound and
possibility OF evil One admires theiE
Iearnestness. bur weeps over their errors.
Some OF these saints Of the Middle ages
went so far as 20 practice self-nutIlatior
in the struggle for purity and spiritual
power The whole method works uPor
the line Of spiritual eraaseulauon rather
than upon the line Of spiritual power.
The average American being too busy

take the trouble 20 discipline himself
or train The rising generation IN the true
principles OF life. has fallen back upo1
the easy method Of enactment OF many
laws. and the reliance upon multitude:

helped any by that method. L Is th'
sign Of a decadent. moral. and spiritual
force.
Temperance can never be built Up OF
intemperance and loose, moral distinction;
and unfair play. When We have go
