COURTEOUS IN DEMEAN0R
Says Attention Should Be Paid to
Horse Drawn Vehicles.
TOO MUCH GREASE IN CURVES
Maj. Sylvester Declares Law-Abid-
ing Motorists Desire to Live
Within the Requirements.

Maj. Richard Sylvester superintendent
of police. has issued a circular to the
| members of the police force respecting
their duties In reference to the enforce
ment of the laws relating to the handling
of automobiles and other vehicles. While
in Buffalo, n. Y, last week, attending
the annual convention of the Interna-
tional Association Of Chiefs of Police,
Maj. Sylvester had occasion to pay at
tention to vehicular traffic.
The superintendent of police, in speak
ing of the automobile. remarks that it's
movements and appearance are alarming
to many who are unfamiliar with its
mechanism and ready control, and that
the Individual who conducts it is capa-
BILE of exercising the same care that
can be afforded by the person who drives
the horse and controls the running of
the modern trolley car Fatalities and
accidents follow in each Of these classes,
as we'll as in all others. He adds:
New Element for Supervision.
"The introduction of the motor vehicle
means a new element for supervision
under reasonable restraint, and the po-
lice are charged with the enforcement of
such laws and regulations as may be
placed in effect to control it.
1T is important that proper provision
should be maintained to insure qualified
and reliable conduct. that the limit Of
speed on direct. intersecting and other
public courses should be such as will
hold the vehicle within bounds of safety
to itself and the public, that appliances
for signal and not too glaring lights
should be carried that means of identi-
fication should be attached, insanitary
and nauseating emissions of smoke be
prevented, and rules of the road apply
that would place it on a fair perambulat-
ing basis with other vehicles. 1t is by
all means desirable that the laws and
regulations for traffic In all cities and on
all public roads should be as uniform
as possible, and the municipality should
advise by warning signs where differing
speed regulations begin and end. The
motor vehicle in the hands Of Indifferent
and irresponsible chauffeurs is the one
that causes trouble for all concerned.

conducted throughout the south in
behalf of good roads, newspapers,

mobile owners are enthusiastically
cooperating. The campaign has now
reached point where the desire for
good roads has become almost a mania
and motorists In all parts of the south
are making tours to educate the users of
the road to the Importance OF better pub
Tic highways. The arrival of the scout
cars of the New York Herald and the
Atlanta Journal last week caused re-
newed activity in automobile circles, and
the slogan. Pull for good roads" could
be heard In every direction. The pri-
mary object in sending out scout cars

York city and Atlanta was to determine
the best route for an endurance contest
for automobiles next fall. The secondary
object was to arouse interest all along
the line in road Improvement.
The tourists expressed themselves as
highly pleased with the reception given
them in the National Capital. and the
last words OF President Taft as they
left the White House, II wish you the
best of luck in your work for good
roads," were most encoura ging to the

The Spirit Of Work.
From the Atlantic.

The amount of work which each man
accomplishes during the day depends
upon other factors than the mere hours
Of labor. and the most important of these
factors is the spirit in which the work IS
done. The spirit OF the days work will
depend upon the personal relation which
exists between the Office and the work
shop. If the emp oyer is known To be in
terested In the welfare of his men. they
will be. more truly than otherwise, MS
retainers. more jealous for the prosperity
OF his business: but If his relation TO them
is that OF a taskmaster. they viii be his
slaves merely. and quite capable OF any
treachery. The effort OF the employer
who would gain the loyal service OF his
men must be to preserve in every posi-
BILE way the individuality of the en-
ploye, 10 emphasize his manhood, and

from interchange Of knowledge concern
ing motor vehicles on the part OF those

with the enforcement OF the law. The

ness, improved roads throughout the
country and for pleasure.
1t was the expression of Congress that
reasonable regulations should be enacted
for the government and control OF all
kinds OF vehicular traffic In the District
of Columbia and ii is believed that the
laws relating TO the movement of vehi-
cles were not intended to make travel a
hardship, except SO far as Indifferent or
irresponsible persons might make IL SO
for themselves, but. to insure a proper
enforcement of all requirements. as here
tofore directed and in order to insure
uniformity OF action members of the
force will observe that the laws relatinf
to turning corners, crossing at intersect-
ing streets at certain prescribed locations
where pedestrians congregate, in the
parks, on the streets within the fire linn
its and in the suburbs beyond. for all of
which places distinct rates Of speed are
prescribed, is enforced. There are times
when the good. law-abiding citizen may.
through inability to control to a fraction,
place himself at the mercy of the police
technically when discretion would
prompt warning, and when the rear
light, unobserved, would be jolted out
and the warm lamp would indicate that
it had been burning and where warning
against repetition would serve a good pur-
pose.
Persecution Is Prohibited.
AT times there is possibility Of a few
drops Of oil escaping, when a suggestion
might remedy the situation. but where
layers, pools or puddles of oil are al
lowed to waste on the streets. the regu-
lation should be invoked. In the vicinity
of hotels and other public places motor
vehicle stands should be kept free from
leaking oil at all times. because 1t is a
special privilege. and there follows ac-
cumulation. Excess Of grease on car
curves should be regarded as a clear vio-
lation of the regulations and appropriate
action should be taken.
"A respectful. calm. courteous demeanor
should mark the attention OF members
of the force in all cases, and an avoid
ance be had OF anything having the ap-
pearance of persecution. That same close
attention should be accorded to vehicles
moved by animals is given the vehicles
moved by other power. Careless, reck-
less. inattentive drivers are causes for
complaint and frequently responsible for
accidents and injuries"

 Arizona is free from the disease, but if it once got a foothold here the whole territory would be quar- Iantined, and to prevent such a disaster to the local cattle. men 1t is necessary to be very strict in the inspection of all cattle that from this time on come out of the fever ridden state of Sonora.-Bisbee Review.
