AUTOMOBILES AND STREETS

Civilization moves i'll a mysterious way its wonders to perform. We are now told that the automobile is greatly to influence the future of cities, tending to make them more beautiful, more comfortable, and more sanitary.
 We have already been shown how the auto mobile is to revolutionize the roads of the coun- try. If we permit ourselves to believe all we hear in respect to that, the next decade will see the finest system of highways throughout these United States that any land ever knew in any time. Not only are city folks enthusiastic for these good roads, it is explained, but the farmer
 once thought to be the automobiles one un- compromising and irreconcilable foe-has waXed glad in it's promise of the future. and halls the ''honk -honk' of an approaching ma chine nowadays even more gladly than he was wont to harken to the lowing of the old fashion ed cows as they ambed down the big road at eventde in the yesteryears to be milked.
 But now, so runneth the plea of the inter- estng and always resourceful automobiIist the festive benzine buggy is going to force cities to widen their streets wherever possible and certainly provide for wider average streets in future planning. This because broader thor oughfares will operate to greater safety, con venence, and comfort i'll the matter of automo- bile running Wider streets, 1t is cleverly point ed out, mean better ventiation; better venta- tion means better sanitatary conditions better sanitary conditions mean better health and all because of the automobile. C. E. D. It certain ly reads attractively enough
 And while we may assimilate the inforna- tion along with few grains of salt, considering its source, and so forth yet we doubt not there is much of truth. pitE, and moment in it. Bless ings come wrapped in remarkable disguses now and then, and it may he that we are on the eve of an era when even the most ardent auto mobile nonadmirer will be forced to admit that it may serve some good purpose to the public at large, after all

2 THE UNIFORM AND THE LAW

The military authorities have every reason to be gratitied with the tendency of the state legislatures to enact laws which aim to protect the uniform of the army and navy, which is also the uniform of the National Guard in all essential particulars, and it is wise to include the garb of the state soldiery in the provisions which are made to save the badge of authority from disrespect. It is difficult for those who re- spect the uniform to realize that it is necessary to have legislation eXacting that public senti- ment; but it seems to be necessary, and in the absence of federal statutes it is well to have state laws. It may be doubted by some whether public respect amounts to much when it is com pelled by legislation, but the outward mani festation of disrespect will at least be prohibit ed. This is as true of the flag as it is of the uniform
 Legislation which has been enacted so far is a prohibition of the wearing of the uniform on the part of those who are not entitled to 1t as an official apparel. It does not attempt to require theater managers, hotel keepers, and restau- rant owners to admit to their places of enter tainment or refreshment men who are dressed as soldiers, sailors and marines That is an other problem which probably cannot be reach ed by law, An American who runs theater or a hotel must decide for himself who shall be ad- mitted to his establishment and there is no way by which punishment can be meted out be- cause the distinction is made against the person who wears any sort of uniform The simplest way to overcome that periodical difficulty is to permit enlisted men of the army, navy and

THE REFUGE OF ANARCHY

Curious paradox as it may seem, no one will deplore the anarchist crime in London, the kill ing of member of the British government by a Hindoo anarchist more than the anarchists themselves. London, handy to all the capitals of Europe easy to reach and easy to get away from has for many years been the leading re- sort of the anarchists of the world. Here the Russian nihilist, the Irish Fenian, the Armen- ian revolutionist, the German agitatorall the people rightly or wrongly dissatisfied with their own governments found haven and free dom, not only to push their peculiar propagan da but even to organize their campaigns of crime
 Because of the freedom of the laws of Eng
 land which have guaranteed these, anarchists have been careful, even among themselves to maintain such good behavior as would prevent any extreme measures being taken against them. It is estimated by the London police that there are now resident in London over 5000 an archists of various natonaties and so long as they confine their energies to talk or the pub lication of anarchistic documents they are not disturbed
 The anarchists may well fear for the license they have hitherto enjoyed. The brutal assas- sination of last week has stirred the English people deeply, and it is highly probable that the government will be made to take stringent police precautions against recurrence of such crimes. Under England's immigration laws it is difficult matter to regulate the ingoing and outcomng of the direputables, but by working in accord with the police of France, Germany, and Russia, much might, and doubtless will, be accomplished to stop the pernicious activity of the criminals.

marine corps to dress in civilian garb when they are not on duty. They are thus as inconspicu- ous as the ordinary citizen, and may go wher- ever their lncllnatonS, means and personal bearing entitle them to go The military au- thorties in this respect have the remedy in their own hands. They should allow soldiers, sailors, and marines to dress in way which does not attract attention, and which does not make the wearers of the uniform the objects of embarrassing attention. That will do more than any volume of law to bring about greatly desired result
