Thinks on Things
By Young Steady.

1t would seem that nothing IS
properly done until it is overdone.
In the CAGE Of the automobile and
aircraft, man is not satisfied to
bring them to a state of practical
use. but must continue experiments
which daily call for a heavy toll of
human lives. The automobile has
long since passed the experiment
tai stage and is now practical
labor-saving invention used with
advantage in many branches of
commercial enterprise. Not con-
tent with this, they have intro
duced the automobile into the field
of sport with disasterous results.
The number of accidents resulting
from this cause during the past
few months has had tendency TO
decrease the interest in this sort
of so-ca!led sport and has called
forth numerous protests from all
parts of the country.
Referring to the Vanderbilt Cup
race at Long Island recently, in
which four persons were killed and
many injured, The Outlook re-
marks: Life always has been and
probably always will be sacrificed
i'll the experimental stages of new
applications of science and human
needs; but the risk of the motor
race cannot be counted among the
inevitable risks of progress" The
same might apply with equal force
of truth to the aeroplanes, in their
record breaking flights. It cost
one human life to cross the Alps,
via the air route the other day;
several others barely escaped
similar fate in a fool-hardy attempt
to cross the Atlantic by the same
means. Still, it is difficult to see
in what manner science would pro-
fit by either feat. Many other in
cidents might be cited where lives
have recently been sacrificed in an
effort to establish rd-breaking
| fights of distance and altitude.
Truly, these cannot be classed
among the ''inevitable risks Of
progress
The love ofsport and amusement
is strong one and one which will
not down. In the hearts of the
fearless Americans these sports
find favor because of the excite
ment they produce and the risks
they involve. Still, it is consid-
cred brutal by many Of the same
spectators to conduct games Of
science and art in which the risk
to the participant is much less and
where the spectators are always
free from harm.
A fool to-day may be wise man
J tomorrow. Such is the wisdom
| acquired at the University of Ex-
} perience. There the lessons are
many and seldom to our liking;
, the taskmaster i 8 exacting and

quence the failures are many.
Still, all must attend and those
desiring success in this life must

quiriug the greatest number OF

MORE THAN ENOUGH NAMES

Of signers have been procured for
the petition asking the city council
to call special election for the
choice OF an official charter com

such petition must be signed by 20

ly $50 signatures. The committee
in charge of the move for a COM

that there have been from $500 to
1000 names secured. 1t was hoped
that the petition could be prepared
for presentation at last nights

out a police officer was called, be-

walked out with the male help of

fused to obey the call to strike. He
was duly roasted in forcible femin-

this week. II Is the gathering Of
chiefs of police from all parts Of

One of the most interesting ad-

Fred Kohler of Cleveland, Ohio. A
very great number of people
throughout the country are more or
less familiar with the work of this
chief, because of his unique han,
