CARELESS AUTO DRIVING.
rThe Humboldt Republican,

This week little child was run
down on the streets of Humboldt by a
careless autoist, and death may result.
In spite of the best care the little one
will probably be disfgured for life,
and may be blind in one eye. The
autoist whose carelessness caused the
accident will doubtless be called upon
to pay in dollars and cents the cash
outlay for physicians and care, but
who will compute this paltry sum
against the real damage done. Sup
pose it had been your baby or mine,
what would your feelings have been
Car the punishment be too strong?
Can the example be too glaring?
But the young man, while totally at
fault. is no more at fault than dozens
of other auto drivers in Humboldt
county every day that are prone to
underestimate the power of the forces
they handle. Too many men (and wom-
en- and boys and girls) are driving
autos today who have no business in
the drivers seat They have no concep-
ton of the power they handle. They
do not realize the weight and force of
their autos. They are guiding a ma
chine that will crush the life out OF any
ordinary thing that opposes it. With
its 1900 to 5000 Wounds Of weight, and
It's ten-horse to sixty-horse power it is
capable to battering down and crush
ing to death any animal that inhabits
North America. Yet autoists will
guide these machines down our main
travelled highways at speed any
where between ten and fifty miles an
hour, and think nothing of it. Because
they have not met with an accident,
they in their ignorance believe they
never will. They are good men, these
drivers. and would rot for the world
kill you or your child. but they are
handling forces they do not even COM
prehend. They have lots to learn.
And like the fool, some Of them will
learn only by experience.
But the provoking part Of it is that
these fool drivers consider the careful
drivers milk and water chaps. The
man who is careful of your right and
mine is poo hooed at, declared to lack
nerve. Yet he is the very man who
has the nerve. He has the nerve to
control his desire to travel fast in an
unsafe place, and he has the nerve to
stand the chaff Of the fools while he is
running an auto as it should be run.

INCOME TAX AND LIQUOR

Those prohibitionists who want to
see an income tax established il the
hope that the government then would
have SO much money that il wouldn't
know what to do. and, in the dilemma,
would quit taxing the manufacture Of
beer and whisky. and thereby Incl
den-ally rob the liquor business of the
advantages against onslaught enjoyed
by il as a revenue producer, are likely
10 meet the proposition in the road,
headed the other way.
The wave of prohibition that has
been. sweeping over the United States
in the last few years cost the govern
ment s7.s41,e7S42 in revenue during
the ascal year ended With June 80. last.
The loss is figured from com parison
with ne returns from spirits and fer
1nentea liquors in the fiscal years pre-
ceding.
SO, forgetting not that an income
tax will come about. if ever, only after
a long delay, and possibly only in some
great crisis, and considering this
march of prohibition, it may not be 100
wild guess that sooner will it come to
pass thar there will be no liquor bus
iness TO tax than that there will be no
need TO tax the liquor business. In
which event the income tax would
present itself as a logical effect of pro-
hibition instead OF going before as a
contributing cause Of liquors down
fall.
To work both ends against the mid
die would seem 70 be the cue for the
p-onibitionists.

THE INSURGENTS.
Esprit Lake Beacon.l

1t is observed that the condemnation
visited upon the insurgents is wholly
based upon party argument. Here in
Iowa, at least, no paper of standing is
going to the people in defense of the
spirit and purpose of the Cannon AID
rich revision. Republican votes against
this program are cast upon the ground
that this revision is inconsistent with
the pledges of the party last year, and
contrary to the moral contract upon
which Taft and the congress won at
the polls. This is feebly denied if
denied at all. Most of the critics have
more or less vigorously denounced this
program in detail. They would have
had our representatives support it, not
because it is right as public policy or
honest as party policy, but because the
| party caucus SO ordered.
| It is the candid opinion of this paper
that when the republican party is saved
from this folly it will be $50 as by fire."
and not because Of so much of regular
| ity but because these senators and rep
resentatives spoke for a better republic
canism based on the enduring founda-
ton of civic righteousness. Does any
body not joined to the idols of avarice
and narrow ambition believe Taft and
a republican congress would have won
last year II the curtain which wells
futurity could have arisen and dis
closed the congressional proceedings
now within common knowledge? Is it
sane to assume that we can elect a re-
publican administration in three years
upon this record Of sacrifice of the gen.
eral welfare to special interest? What

independence to make the party solid
in its surrender to the gods of greed.
the idols of organized selfshness. If
this record must go to the people as
evidence of pledges redeemed, as guar
anty Of future fidelity? The republican
party must win its victories in spite
of this record, and in that day no fac
tor will be SO vital to success as the
influence of this protest Of insurgency
in its effect upon public confidence
Then the stone which the builders of
regularity rejected will become the
head of the corner of republican char
acter which will make popular en-
dorsement possible.
! But these men have sacrificed Iowa
influence with the administration, say
the carping critics Influence sat Wash
ington is too often held to mean the
ability to pull out jobs for Iowa people
Too much have statesmen been meas
ured by this standard and too much
of principle has been sacrificed that
men might be spoiled as citizens by
sharing in the spoils of office. Iowa
can stand all such loss Of influence
when 1t is to be saved only as its rep
} resentatives shall crook the pregnant
hinges OF the knee that thrift may fol-

The real joker in tariff legislation
was Nelson Aldrich, nominally of

Senator Stone hit a cigaret smoking

siezed and destroyed 100000 coffin
nails. See how things work together.
But Senator Stone destroyed certain
amount of red liquor-as soon as he
could secure chaser. There's a hint
for Minnesota.
Dolliver says that when the people
find out what's in the tariff bill there'll
be trouble and plenty of it. And who
more fit than Dolliver to be there
when the trouble begins?

These are the church for me.

And the paeanS Of the bee;
The rustling prayer

OF the leaves on the kindly trees;
The light divine
OF the soft sunshine
And the woodland harrnonies;
The sturdy strength
OF the mountain length

The fresh clean thrill

AS il runs a-whispering by;
The perfumed scent
OF the meadows blent
With the pine of the balsam boughs:

And the elder blows
And tie grain in the trimming

And the glory of God above,

And the dales and rills.
And taught them 10 sing his love.
