About Speeding.

The motoring populace has a tend
ency to speed up just for the en-
joyment of it when in business thor
oughfares and in the more travelled
districts. Several accidents have
nearly occurred only in the past week
from this practice of running too fast
and the amateur drivers OF machines
have escaped with clean records on a
number of occasions only by a hairs
breadth.
The section of the state law says
in regard to the time an automobile
should make while in different sec
tons OF town or country:
no person or persons shall use.
operate or drive any automobile, loco
mobile or other vehicle not propelled
by muscular power in any city or

Regarding Lights, Signals, Etc.
There are number Of autos the
police report that have not tail lights
on them for use after night, and there
are several who have entirely neglect
ed their front lights at times. This
is something the police do not intend
To overlook IN future and the offend
ers will be dealt with. The ordinance
with reference TO lights, signals, etc,
says:
Every motor vehicle while in use
on public highway shall be provided
with good and efficient brakes and
also with a suitable bell, horn or other
signal and be so constructed as TO

BICYCLE RIDERS, Too
Riding on Sidewalk will be Counted .
Misdemeanor and Fines will
be Melted
Out

So much for the dog question
fTuesday evenings issue. Now the
automobiles. the owners of buzz wag-
ons and the bicycle riders OF the city.
The number of automobiles in Keo-
knk has increased more than fifty per
cent in the past year and in Keokuk
at the present time there are at least
two hundred joy ride machines which
are credit to hustling community
and beauty spots on the thoroughfare,
SO long as there is some uniformity
about their use on the public streets.
The police have been troubled dur
ing the past several months with
some, though by no means all, the
owners of autos. The greatest COM
plant the officers and walking citi-
Gems have to make against the driv-
ers of these machines is the speed
they attain while using their gaso-
inc vehicles. The next complaint in
order of size is perhaps the manner
in which careless drivers keep to the
right and left of the thoroughfare,
the chief of police saying this morn
ing that many Of the autoists run
their machines on either side and any
where along the main streets or resi-
dence district thoroughfares without
regard to the law pertaining to this.
For instance, the driver of an automo-
bile going down Main street toward
the river many times will keep on
the left when the right side is the
proper avenue for him to take. Com
ing up Main from the river, many
drivers take the right course when
the left is the proper one to run.

there were half thousand men and
boys about him. They chsered him on

The boy said that he discovered the

The Clinehins Argument.

A young man representing a well
known make of motorcar had called.
discussed intelligently the points Of
the automobile he was endeavoring to
sell, had given fawless demonstra-
ton
But the prospective amateur motor
list before mortgaging his house still
wanted to be thoroughly convinced,
and so he said: What you say about
your car may be all right. The en-.
CINE runs very nicely, and it looks
good to me, but tell me one thing
have you ever sold any Of these cars
to your own personal friends?'
The salesman smiled. Have l.?
Why, three months ago was engaged
to girl, and sold one of these iden-
teal cars to my prospective father-in-
lawv'
did you marry the girl?"
Eyes, indeed! I've now got the girl

car, and just as their bows met she
jumped the track, sheered to port and
knocked the plaintiff off and ran over
