HUMMOCK8 IN FAVOR.
FIRST Applied by PennsyIvnnia to
Check Speeding.

From the Albany Journal
Construction Of hummocks IN roads
Travelled by automobiists to prevent
reckless speeding. which is an idea thar
was first applied by the Pennsylvania
Railroad, may be adopted in other parts
Of the country.
The Pennsylvania found itself greatly
hampered in the operation Of its trains
by automobnists who took dangerous
chances in attempting 70 cross its tracks
just ahead Of moving trains. Il became
frequently necessary to reduce the speed
Of trains when automobiles were seen
approaching crossing at racing speed.
Thus time was lost and schedules we're
disturbed.
Then II occurred to some one in the en-
ploy Of the company 10 construct hum
mocks in roads crossing the tracks about
thirty feet distant from the latter. They
were made OF earth, about two feet wide
at the base. tapering. and about efgaf
inches in height While an automobile
coming 10 one Of these at moderate speed
crosses II without unpleasant results TO
its occupants, one driven at high speed

the mechanism. Automobiles soon an
knew OF those hummOcks and their ef-
fects, and now they approach railroad
crossings along the Pennsylvania lines
at moderate speed
In Kansas City there Is under consid-
Grafton the question Of adopting the hum
mock device TO make the roadwavs IN
the parks and the boulevards safe from
speeding autOmObllisfs
OF course. the hummocks disngure tho
roadways. and cause some Inconvenience
TO innocent drivers and occupants OF
automobiles and vehicles. but accidents
due to reckless driving have been SO nu-
merous that the creation Of a lesser evil

CONDITIONS AND THEORIES.

II After all has been said and dono,
the facts still remain that in Flor
enoe there are no evil conditions that
do not prevail in the most prohibited
town in Colorado or in any other
state IL Is also fact that II the
voters of + lorence should decide by
their ballot on next Tuesday that an
ordinance prohibiting tho snloons
should be made, this ordinance would
not remedy any evil that exists IN
the city. There is little use, we
think, in discussing the matter furtll-
er, because everyone who is acquaint-
ed with Florence conditions knows
full we'll that the awful things we arc
told are happening DO not occur in
this city.
| We are facing conditions and not
theories, and we are to vots on
practical business question: in which
is involved no part of the theories
aud imaginatiops of what might
occur should Florence people let
loose all holds and 90 reeling alopg
the street in drunken debauchsry,
and all our boys going to insane
asylums and penitentiaries. The
vision of our building fence around
| this tract of land, that is not larger
than many Of the farms surrounding
| the city, helping improve conditions
in some other city or town is the
sheerest moonshiue. 1t certainly
could not be beneficial to the extent
of Thousands of dollars which some.
body in this city would have to make
up If Florence should lose the revenue
from the saloons
That it would help solve financial
troubles in williamsburg, Rockvale,
Goal Greek and other places more or
less distant from Florence, there is
no doubt IL is true that the belief
that there is mere possibility of this
city going dry has already increased
the value of saloon property in the
camps. prominent real estate
dealer told US that the price of one
saloon in the camps has beou incrcas-
ed several hundred dollars, aud the
sale has been completed on condi-
tion that Florence becomes anti
saloon territory: and If it should
not vote prohibition. then the sale
is to not take place.
Wdo not know what more con-
elusive evidence could be had to
prove that our loss Is to bo others
gain, nor that those who know best
believe that such an ordinance here
would not change the appetite nor
ability to buy drink to appsase that
appetite of any resident of the town.
We believe that ninety par cent OF
the people who are pushing this
prohibition proposition know verv
little about the saloons. and that
their presence in this town in no.
wise binders or concerns them. |

simply illustrates that often times wo

VIC start out to fight something that
has no tangible reality.
Since no wrongs that prohi bitiop

actress that has ever visited this city,
will appear in her new play, Under
