The word "tinkering'' is often used in
connection with tariff revision, and it
is apt: there is apparently more ''tink-
ering" with this bill than with any
preceding one The Mckinley and
Dingley tariffs were simply dictated
throughout by the protected interests;
this one will be, too, mostly, but there
must be an appearance. a pretense Of
much modification, for this was party
pledged, and, what is more import
ant. the masses of the people are not
to be deceived as easily as they were
90 or q years ago. In some few little
spots, and in one or two big ones, es-
pecially lumber, the interests may De
offered up as a sop-sacrifice to public
demand, but if so, this will be the
beginning of the end of a protective
tariff Standpat for the gang through
out is the only consistent policy, and
that would beat the party as soon as
the people could get at it. Revision up
wards instead of downwards would be
a good thing for the country, ulti-
mately, for then, at the first opportun-

THE AUTOMOBILE TOUGH.

Following a number of automobile
fatalities for which reckless chauffeurs
were wholly responsible, and the de-
liberate running down and mangling of
one little lad by a member of this
savage minded fraternity, the Automo-
bile club of America has turned its or
ganized attention to the apprehension
and punishment of those miscreants
From what appears in the New York
papers respecting the movement there
is great public indignation anent these
outrages. and automobile owners are as
deeply concerned as anyone else. 1t
appears, in fact, that the Automobile
club of America is to take the lnitla-
tive and to lend every assistance pos
sible to the squelching of the sport
properly designated as the automobile
tough.
What is happening in New York is
of interest to every city in the country
The automobile tough. like the street.
corner hoodlum, has no sole and partic-
ular habitat. He is to be found every
where and deserves the same drastic
treatment wherever found. He creates
prejudice against AUTOMOBILES and brings
discredit upon respectable people who
own and run them. Following the ex-
ample OF motorists in New York, those
people may check him if they so choose
and by all means they should so choose
Every one realizes that the motor
car has come to stay. That it is fast
becoming an everyday utility. and, like
other utilities. must be confined to
its legitimate use. Respectable owners
and operators are as deeply interested
in that legitimate use as anyone else
Like all other people, they condemn
that use which makes the automobile
a menace to the public safety. AS vim
dicating their own good citizenship
they can undertake nothing more to
the purpose than the suppression OF
this automobile tough

may use it during school months or
during vacation. In Chicago and New
York it is found that where the school
children are provided with limited
play ground, they invariably indulge
in such games as will require the least

children is another feature that is COM

by the school physician. In the rura.
