RIGHTS OF THE ROAD.

Automobile drivers contend tha'
intentional or unconscious misunder-
standing Of the rules Of the road by
the drivers Of horse-drawn vehicles
makes collisions oftentimes almost
impossible to avert. For instance, the
driver Of a horse-drawn vehicle pro-
ceedIhg at walk in a certain direc-
ton or Of a slowly running power
driven vehicle for that matter, must
on warning draw If possible over to
the right hand side Of the road IN or
der to let a vehicle approaching from
The rear pass to the left. This rule OF
the road has been passed upon BY tne
courts, and very recently by the New
York court Of appeals. This court mas
ruled, however. that IL there be sur
ficient space at the left for the APP
preaching vehicle to pass on that sac
without danger Of colliding, the front
vehicle has the superior right OF way
If there be not sufficient room for
the rear vehicle to pass to the left,
however, the front vehicle must pass
over to the right on notice being CIV
en-, either at the time or as soon as
practicable.

DISTRESSING IRE THINGS.

one Of the distressing things In
Kansas right now is the attitude TAX
en- by SO many newspapers OF oppos"
ing every reform movement. Why
be against advancement? Why OPP
pose everything the people want2Why
ridicule all reforms and every idea
that might make the world betterF
Clay Center Times.
Another distressing thing Is that
a whole lot Of sensible persons refuse
to be stampeded by every self-ap-
pointed Reformer who comes along
and bankers for office. He says
the people" want this or that when
really he wants office and dishes up
a lot Of glucose and rot which ne
feeds to them in the expectation
that they will in return give him a
lob This unkind attitude OF the
average citizen in asking for some
reason for following off self-styled
Reformers and in puncturing their
bags Of political gas is painful but
Il Is good horse sense.

REcKLEss DRIVING.

The accident SATURDAY night EN-
phasizes the danger from reckless
automobile driving. No one is to
blame except the motorists themsel-
YES for the feeling against them.
The motor road hog is Just as bad as
any other road hog and he may cause
great deal more damage. The
driver who pursues his way on the
theory that he is entitled to all the
road deserves punishment and II an
accident happens the law will give
1t to him. With the large number
of cars on the road drivers should
exercise more care. This one rule
will save much trouble:
When you are meeting a car or
team commence to turn out far
enough ahead SO that the person
facing you can know what you in
tend to do-and always give the
share Of the road. II you expect
courtesy you must give 1t.
A number Of persons in Abilene
and vicinity are threatening arrest
of drivers who do not give the road
and such case would cost money.
Had the driver Saturday night
given the road as he should it would
have saved him about $500 in cold
cash.

THE sooop SHOWED METHOD.

mn gAOOA tNAN0 Y - 49,
The enormous increase in state
taxes is sought to be justified by in
crease in population and by large ex-
penditures for buildings for the in
sance, the feeble-minded, the dumb
and the blind. But our population
is only little larger than II was
twenty years ago, and the unfortu-
nate should not be charged with
the increased taxes because the most
Of the buildings referred to as an ex-
cuse for boosting taxes were built and
paid for under the unreformed and
unbusiness-like administration OF
Governors Stanley, Bailey and Hoch.
The Wichita Beacon gives the real
reason for the increase in the state
tax rate, in the face Of an immense
increase in assessments: state
taxes increased because the last Leg
islature used scoop shovel instead
of stopping to count the money given
to all purposes.
II scoop shovel methods are busi-
ness methods, then we have a sure
enough business administration, but
an increase of a million dollars IN
state taxes in one year seems rather
stiff, even for a scoop shovel admin
istration. -Leavenworth Post.

On one occasion when STOPPING to
pick up an article weighing not
more than three pounds was taken
with a twinge in my back which
was so severe that it took all my
strength and l was laid up for three
weeks suffering intense pains if |
tried to move. In cold or damp
weather my kidneys would become
very much disordered and the secre-
tons would be very irregular, por-
fuse and frequent and accompanied
with much pain in passing. Some
months ago I learned of Doan's Kid
ney Pills and procured a box. This
remedy has put new strength into
my back, the secretions have been
regulated and I am feeling better in
every way. Doan's Kidney Pills
have my hearty recommendation"

of the idioms. One day a friend whom

Cleveland, and he said Eyes"

The baron took the correction in al

ess, rather dignified woman, asked
him if he liked sugar and cream in his
coffee. Then the baron shocked the
assembled guests by replying with
great gusto, Sure, Mike"
