responsible. But the reckless auto
mobile driver is responsible to no one
except so far as his respect for the
rights for others pertain. He IS
bound by no rules that would make II
expensive for himself or others eX-
cept for the damage to his car and his
own person. If he causes disaster
and loss of property and life nine
times out of ten there is no redress
for the innocent victims because, quite
likely, all his own worldly effects are
tied up in his engine of destruction.
No doubt one of the first restrictions
by law in this regard will be toward
greater care in the granting of Ii
censes and in time, no doubt. no car
will be allowed on the public streets
or highways except in charge Of a
skilled operator who has passed mus
ter as safe and sane, and free from
the taint of Intoxicating liquors.

How to Quit Smoking.

'''t. iApblS fpSt-llSpatcn.)
Do not light the first cigar less than
half an hour after breakfast The more
difficult this delay may be. the more
need there is for a cure. The remainder
of the day smoke the same as usual. II
IS only the first c'oar with which we are
dealing. Keep this up for a week then
lengthen the interval to an hour for an
other week, then make it one and half
hours, two. two and a half, and so on.
If you have an ''all gone" sensation. a
longing for something-and- d-don't-know-
What-sort of feeling, eat an orange. or
apple, or almost any kind of fruit. but
dont smoke until the time is up, The
nerves being deprived of their morning
stlmulant are crying for nourishment.
Wfich nature is Fastening to supply
through increased appetite to supply di-
Sestlon. BY the time the first cigar is
entirely eliminated, the cure is effected
with no serious arrangement of the heart
or digestive apparatus. 1t now requires
only moderate will power to make the
cure permanent.

Some Automobile Evils.

owners of automobiles throughout
the country are rapidly bringing upon
themselves some rigid restrictions
which they will not enjoy, says Popu-
lar Mechanics. Reform legislation is
always slow in coming and for that
reason generally goes further than is
necessary. The writer goes on to
point out among the things that
should be remeded, the annoyances
due to unnecessary use of horns.
whistles and exhaust. and says that
many drivers seem to have a mania
for making all the noise they can. 1t
is pointed out also that the smoke
nuisance is unnecessary and offensive
and that it also can be prevented, as is
shown in European cities where heavy
fines are imposed for violation. The
result is. a smoking car is seldom
seen. for other. drivers Immediately
call the offenders attention to his car.
OF course reckless driving is always
open to consideration and to reStrc-
tive Legislation. Within the next few
years drastic action will be taken by
aw-making bodies. as a result of the
devilmay- acts of few persons
who are allowed to have the control
of automobiles. A forty horse power
machine is an engine of destruction
in the hands of a careless operator
That they are suffered TO so largely
dominate the traffic of our highways
shows the liberation of the people. of
new ideas. and their recognition that
time will regulate the evils thereof.
None but skilled men who have
served apprenticeship and won their
licenses are allowed to operate loco

highways of their own. That an al

some immature boy or girl, or. still
worse. some half intoxicated man

Electric cars go down our streets
to a track, controlled by

the companies who own the cars. and

Our Peripatetic Presidents.

One of the things which seems to SO
with our presidency. nowadays. is the
peripatetic habit Ii must be ac-
ouired i'm these whirlwind campaigns
I'm which the candidate goes tearing
from one end of the country to the
other. shouting to the people from the
rear platforms of trains and building
IN a taste for travel which he cannot
overcome after he reaches the White
House. II seems next to impossible
to keep Roosevelt and Taft within the
limit Of several states for any lengthy
reriod. Mckinley had become an eX-
tensive traveller and visited many sec
tions of the country during his ad-
ministration but he had no Panama or
Alaska trips to make and. unfortu-
nately. he did not live to become an
ex-President so that he could dash
away to Darkest Africa, or to the in

"Recoenizine" the New Republic

The deliberate manner in which the
great powers of the world are proceed
ing with respect to Portugal suggests
that the heads of nations are uncer
claim that he is at Gibraltar for his
health may be safely accepted as true,
but his persistent claim that he has
not abdicated and that his flight must
not be regarded as such is quite anoth
er matter. If Portugal were of equal
importance in the worlds affairs to the
United States or England. or France or
Germany the uncertainty of the out
come existing there would be distinct
ly embarrassing to the rest Of the
world. Now it makes little difference
if a waiting policy of recognition is
on a provisional basis.
If the Rraga regime demonstrates it's
ability to exist as an exponent Of the
popular Portuguese will. then it will be
given full recognition as a valid agen-
cy through which treaties may be ar
ranged. The demand of certain news
papers for immediate recognition of
the republican movement in Portugal
is Of the Indifferent order which, reck-
less OF consequences, would have the
United States the first to adopt the
new condition of things. The concur
rent Judgment of the foreign offices in
both hemispheres should dictate action
toward the new republic. The United
States should not be premature in its
anxiety to welcome a new sister.
A writer in the Boston Transcript
says:
There are as a matter of fact. for
the United States, as for other Pow
ers, three possible courses of action:
% to extend immediate and full
recognition; lD to withhold recog-
milton absolutely; and C) to main
tain relations with the new Govern
1t would appear that the more impor-
tant Powers are likely to hit upon the
aforementioned course. Germany, in
deed, has already done so; likewise
Great Britain (the rumored recognition
by the British Government being re-
peatedly denied) and the United States.
Mir Gage, the American minister at
Lisbon, together with our consuls and
subordinate diplomatic agents in Por-
tugal, have been instructed to transact
any necessary business with the re-
sponsible officials of the Braga regime,
making it clearly understood, however,
that this does not signify any formal
recognition of the new Government. SO
far as the United States is concerned,
the policy thus adopted is likely to be
maintained for some time"
