IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

The agitation over the NOISY auto.
mobile horns and motorcycle whistles
reminds one of the .fussy man, who,
when at the age OF 40 was unable to
afford a conveyance, but was contin-
ually grumbling over the bicyclists,
vehicles and autos that compelled him
to move out Of the way when he was
crossing the streets. A few years af-
forwards this same young man pur-
chased a bicycle. Then he was al
ways complaining because the peo-
pie in the streets did not hurry to
the side and give him more room.
Likewise he complained because the
vehicles compelled him to turn out of
the road for them. Bicycling becom-
ing tiresome, he purchased a horse
and rig, but again he annoyed because
first the bicyclists were always in the
road: the autos gave him no rest cith-
er in town or in the country, and the
motorcycles bothered his horse. etc.
So, Mr.. Grumble decided to invest in
an auto. After he had driven over all
the streets, being compelled to keep

happened to be crossing the street,
looking neither to the right or left.
and not conscious of the city life"
but saunterinE along in the middle of
the road as II he had two weeks In
which to get across to the other side,
Mr.. Grumble decided to take a spin
through the country. There he was
hampered again by the bicycles, car
riages. and principally farmers who
wouldn't get to one side and let his
auto by. being unmindful of the days
when he walked, rode a bicycle and
drove horse and he too, was then dis
satisfied because he had to get down n
a ditch or gully to let a pedestrian,
hay wagons. threshing machines, We
hicles and autos pass. The same thing
exists now with the public. Those
who walk or drive horse seem not
to realize how dificult it is for an
auto to obtain the right of way. Far
better is 1t to have a loud and noisy
horn on a motorcycle or automobile
than a weak and ineffective one.
Nothing is thought OF the shrill whis-
ties OF a train, or interurban car, and
little attention is paid to them, and
as we have gotten used to the loud
train whistles, they are not put un-
der surveillance as are now the auto
horns. Simply because one auto has
. low and unsophisticated horn does It
needs follow that all should have the
same? Because one man has his house
painted red does OF mean everyone
else should do likewise7 II We ever

who are crying against the loud horns

tomobiles and they will get in the
band wagon and contend that others
on the highways have no right to ex-
list and the horns and whistles aren't
nearly loud enough to gain the atten-
ton Of the slow moving public who
have to walk
1t must be remembered there are
more chances for defense as it is now,

ever runs into pedestrian. he's GER
tainly going to remember whether or
not the driver blew the horn. and the
opportunity will never present itself
to enable the injured one to say why

Therefore we ought to be thankful
the automobiles have horns, because
the town surely needs something to
stir up these quiet citizens who are SO
easily shocked at the mere passing Of
a thing so small as a Gabriel
"Klaxson," Nightingale or Blue
Ribbon horn. However the agitation
furnishes good reading matter for the
newspapers.

To dusty council rooms. to stand

Where leafy forests still endure
And breezes toss the blossoms frail,

And hope must camp upon his trail
No more the politician wears
A look of somber, studious gloom,
O'erburdened with a nations cares,
Which in his generous heart find

He holds q serious interview,
Which lasts for but little while,
And says no word when it is through,
And nothing does-except to smile.
