THE MORAL.
rGrinnell Register].


There has been a bad accident In the
city caused by the fast running OF an
automobile Perhaps 1t would be well
to paint In lurid colors all the shocking
details of the accident and hold up TO
the eyes of the scorcher the fate that
rides al his side when he prefers reck-
iessness to prudence. But it would not
be bit OF use. 1t might have little
effect today and tomorrow. possibly
Saturday but by Sunday afternoon it
would he entirely forgotten.
We do not need to VERY much abeut

thousands of dollars mile in perfect

From Two Points Of View.

Waiting for train a MoorsetoWn, n.
J., the other day were two young WON :
en- and man, fashionabiy attired and
evidently on a holiday. AT the ticket
window were New Jersey farmer and
his wife. While they waited sweet
young girl entered like a gentle April
breeze thru an open window.
AS the girl gIided out of the door
again the young man turned to his
companion and said:
isn't Miss Berry a beautiful girl
Her complexion is as soft as a rose
petal
Jest then the old farmer turned to
his wife and remarked:
"Marie, did you took note o. that ere
girl? Amt she got purity hide, eh?"-

the speed law they have. OF course
people will get killed with more or less
frequency and. unfortunately, is apt
to be the innocent bystander.
1t is not the slightest use to ap-
peal to the reckless driver. He will
have to be taught sense in some other
way. He must be kept from criminal
negligence. as men are held back from
other criminal acts, by the stern force
OF the law.
The law is ample and utterly disre-
garded. No one makes the slightest
attempt to comply with it except for a
few days after a bad accident. 1t needs
to be enforced all the time.
The scorcher needs compulsion. not
moral persuasion. The final solution Is
with those who are commissioned TO
enforce the law.
The wonder is. not that the accidents
occur but that they are not multiplied
many fold.

In memory Of Gutenberg.

A literary memorial to the memory
of Gutenberg, the founder Of the print
ing Industry, is about to be published,
after ten years of strenuous labor on
the part of the artistic, scientific and
publishing industries Of Germany. It
takes the form Of new edition Of the
so-called forty-two line Gutenberg edi-
ton of the Bible. This work Is still
not only one Of the greatest monu-
ments of the printers art, but also
marks the close of the first period Of
the Gutenberg era. Gutenberg's forty.
two line Bible contains nearly 1900
pages, some hundred Of which are
decor rated & miniatures in color and

A MELON OR A LEMON

The road between Randalia and Fay

body knew how dry he was as he look

"a patch of nice ripe watermelons!

one teeny little melon. especially con-
sidering the probability that there

story that the farmer was accom- panied
by an impromptu posse consisting Of

also a bull dog with an unsocial dis

exaggeration. Anyhow the fifty cents

WHY % THEY DO lTf

Why does a man spend six years OF
~ congressmans salary TO be noml-
mated for congress? That is what Jo-
seph c. Sibley did IN Pennsylvania.
Some rich men are willing 70 spend
big money for distinction. Some even
purchase titles OF nobility from foreign
governments which have that KIND OF
curio on sale. They confuse honoT
with distinction and are badly fuddled
as to the definition OF the latter word
But few, even of the grossly rich are
willing 70 buy the empty honor OF a
congressional nomination. openly and
in rhe sight OF men at 5000 year.
But Mr.. Sibley did it. He paid the
money for it after he had been once in
congress and had secured the empty
privilege OF being addressed as hon.
The suspicion IS that Mr.. Sioleys eX-
penditure was IN the nature o. an IN

Exceeded Expectations,

When the Grand Central station
was built at New York city, In 1871.
Commodore Vanderbilt reflected COM
placently that 1t would do for about
all time. A 100000 enlargement Of
Office room was made in 1928. The
waiting rooms and baggage rooms
were rebuilt in 1900. Now the whole
structure has disappeared to give
place to part of the new $4,000, 900
terminal establishment. 1t Is thus that
man proposes and the metropolitan
traffic disposes.

STILL LYING ABOUT THORNE.
Mt Vernon Record.

The Cedar Rapids Republican re-
wives the old fiction that Clifford
Thorne was instrumental in getting
rates on live stock to Chicago lowered.
so as to kill off Iowa packing houses.
There is absolutely no truth in the
statement. Mr.. Thorne, as attorney
for the Corn Belt Meat Producers AS
ISOLATION. was instrumental in having
rates to Chicago equalized That is to
say. the rates for $50 miles in one part
of the state should be no more than for
the same distance in another part of
the state This is exactly what Cedar
Rapids has been fighting for, on ev-
erything but live stock, for years. But
the Sinclair people wanted the rates to
favor them, at the expense of the far
mers. The Interstate Commerce Com
mission equalized the rates, lowering
them at this point two cents on hogs
and one on cattle. Since then the rail-
roads and the packing houses have
been lighting Mr.. Thorne. and the Re-
publican takes up their fight. That is
the whole situation. Mr.. Thorne sue
oeeded in getting a fair deal for the
farmers and because he did so he is
obliged TO stand The fire of the packing
houses and the railroads. But as a
matter of fact, we believe that even
the packing houses will see eventually
that fair play is the best in the long
run.
