The digtinguighed Governor

The distinguished Governor of
Iowa is certainly drawing pretty
fine line when he forbids the exhibi-
ton of moving pictures of the john
son-Ketchel prize fight. His reason
is that the State law forbids pugilistic
encounters or even attending one,
and so "if the fight would not have
been allowed in Iowa, the picture of
it certainly could not be shown here.
Admirable logic! shouts the Boston
Post. Thus in one of Iowa's dry"
counties the bioscopic representation
of man in the act of taking a drink
would be unlawful. AS deer hunting
is forbidden at all times in Iowa, the
familiar Maine films must be tabooed.
So with the whole tribe of bandit and
Wild West offerings. How the NOV
ing picture shows get by this super
conscientious Governor at all is a
marvel,

ION the water wagon is expected
to mean something in the Chicago
Police Department. Chief Steward
has ordered that the new year shall
see an era of sobriety among his men,
and he promises dire things = not
fines, but dismissals-for all who can't
agree with him. The Chicago Tribune
holds with the chief, and says: IAN

cation provides enough disturbance

Hazing Hereditary.

Hazing, like the hereditary family
feud in certain sections of this coun-
try, is continuing evil, because 1t is
handed down from one college gen
Grafton to the next, and each man
who has in his time and turn run the
gantlet wants to pay off the score
and secure his revenge vicariously
upon the person of the trembling
freshman who falls into his clutches.
The class that decides to prescribe
hazing has been punished and now
finds itself deprived Of the chance OF
inficting punishment. And so the
evil tradition persists, merely because
no class can make up its mind to fore
go the precious privilege of melting
out to others the same harsh and
cruel treatment that was their own
portion. Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Auto Lamps That Turn.

The majority of automobile acct
dents are attributed to the inability
of the lamps to illuminate the road
way when running around curves.
An Ohio inventor has designed and
patented a device which makes pos
sihle the turning of the lamps with
the steering apparatus, as shown in
the illustration. The roadway in
front of the automobile is thus as

as on straight road With automo-

customary, the Illuminated stretch

Old Kentish Wedding.

A quaint old English wedding took
place at Trowsley Church, Kent, on
Wednesday afternoon, when Miss
Marjory Nash, daughter of Captain
Nash, late R. H. A., of Trowsley, was
married to Percy Allen.
The bridal carriage consisted of a
gaily decorated farm wagon drawn
by prize team of Shires. Returning
from the church the bridal party was
headed by fiddlers and dancers, and
on arrival at the village green the
inhabitants were given cakes and
cider, and very bright festivities fol-
lowed.-London Daily Graphic.
