START SOMETHING.

In another column OF this pa
ner will! be found an article from
the versatile pen Of James A.
inc of Maxville, who is one OF
Sharp county's most progressive
and thoughtful citizens. The
matter discussed in this space by
Mr., Line is of Importance, and
ouoht to be of interest, to every
citizen of the county.
r. is a matter Of fact that many,
very many, good, substantial
men have moved from this coun-
tv within the pact few years.
These men have taken with them,
in very large number OF cases,
considerable sums of money,
which. while earned here, when
taken away not only lessons the

What is to be done in order to

What is to be done to attract

Railway Magnate Hartman who lately seems to be fond of being inter viewed, says he favors government supervision and regulation but 1t must he adds, be combined with protec- tion." He would not, however, have regulation by government extend to the issuance of railroad securities, for 1t is none of the peoples business, to put 1t bluntIy, how much securities and in what form they are issued so long as the railroad is run in the interest of the people and so long as it gives the greatest possible unit of service that lies within it'' MT. Hartman does not desire any governmental interference with the wa tering of stock or with the rake-off of the promoters of combinations-such is the plain meaning of his objection. He asserts that such procedures are
 none of the peoples business" He is very much in error. AS the peo-
 pie must pay, in passenger and freight
 rates, dividends upon watered capital, it is very much their business wheth- CT or not there shall be governmental regulation of the issuance of railroad securities.

The New Jersey Legislature has adopted a modification of the Connec- ticut automobile law as to the speed limit. It is raised to twenty-five miles an hour in the open country, but with the qualification that a motor vehicle shall not be driven 'at any speed greater than is reasonable, having re- gard to the traffic and use of high ways, or so as to endanger the life or limb or to inture the property of any person" In substance, this provision is that automobiles may run 25 miles an hour if road and traffic conditions are favorable and if such speed will not endanger life, limb or property. This is, substantially, the Connecticut law. If observed by autoists or enforced by officers, 1t is an effective measure of safety.

pr. Dobson of Riverton has issued a letter, in which he says: ''No more credit, no more deferred payments, and no more dead-beats will be allowed, nor will any drunks be attended" This is a blaclk-listing of dead-beats and drunk ards--a boycott which does not come under the Supreme Court decision. pr. Dobson is exercising a perfect right, and yet, as the Hartford Times says:
 The dead-beat and the drunkard doubtless constitute an embarrassing financial problem. To defend them is dfnicult; to justify them is impossible. But isn't the rule which Dr. Dobson lays down too rigid and positive? Are there not emergencies and occasions when the doctor must wholly ignore his pocketbook and respond to the calls of humanity? Are there not many times in the career of every Dhysician when the man must be put Sbove the dollar and when even a

The death of MT. Ketcham renders it possibIe for Mayor Lee to fulfil that al- Regod promise to appoint Ex-Mayor Reyuolds to the board of Appraisal of Beredts and Damages. but he may hold that such an appoinAazzsnt. after having denied the promise would be in the nature of confession that the promise was made as alleged and that the denial was insfncere. The former point. advanced by some of the May |or's friends. that he did not desire to become identified in ever so slight de- gree with the twenty-year water con- tract which was signed by Reynolds, 1s not now effective, the Mayor having specifically identified himself with the water company's case at hearings in Hartford.
 There are many aspirants to the va cant office; the Mayor has an oppor- tunity of making one friend and a number of enemies.
