TR|UMP H
OWNERS ARE NOW
FREE FROM PETTY ANNOY
ANCE OF NEW YORK POLICE.
SPEED FIENDS HAPPY.
(Herald Special }

New York, Aug. 27-The passing of
the new Inferior Courts Act by the
state legislature of New York was a
great triumph for the automobile
owning class. 1t was a master-stroke
which freed them from the petty an
noyance of being arrested and hauled
to prison when they were caught in
the act of violating the speed ordi-
nances. The average automobilist
does not care a rap for riding IN an
auto unless he can go at top speed
and as the police authorities under
constant pressure by the common
herd, not owning autos, persisted in
arresting speeders whenever they
could, automobiling had almost ceased
to be a pleasure. But the new law
will give the desired relief and in the
future speed fiends can give them
selves up to their favorlte amusement
without fear of landing in some jail.
All they have to do is to obtain one
of those identity cards which the
new law provides for. If they have
one of these cards in their pocket
they cannot be arrested for violating
the speed or any other ordinance. The
officer who should stop them may
only examine the card, take the num-
Der and hand the violator a summons
to appear in court. The autoist may
continue his mad race and need not
even appear in court, but send. his
lawyer instead. Under the law these
cards are to be issued only to persons
of good character" but, of course, the |
ownership of an auto is considered |
prima facie evidence of good charac-
ter" Every applicant for a card must
be vouched for by three citizens and
it is characteristic of the source of
The law that it expressly provides that
40 keeper of a liquor saloon shall be
accepted as voucher for any applicant.
Strange to say, this provision does not
prevent saloon keepers from obtaining
IDENTIFY cards. This seems rather
as these cards are only
ssued to persons of good character"
md there seems to be no logical rea-
;on in excluding a person of good
haracter" from vouching for another
,erson of good character"

WHY THEY FAIL.
Most Pile Remedies Miss the Cause
of Piles.

Disagreeable treatment with oint-
ments or suppositories usually fails
to cure piles and cutting them off
won't remove the cause. Such treat
ment only moderates the outside eff
fects of the disease and fails to rem
edy the inside cause. The up-to-date
doctors now use internal medicine, to
free the circulation in the lower bow
ell, and so remove the disease.

first and only guaranteed internal

cures any kind of piles. Sold by Brat

CHerald Specially

Winnipeg, Man, Aug. 27.-Next
week the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail
way will celebrate its fifth anniver'
sary of the beginning of its construc-
ton by opening the government Sec
Stion between Winnipeg and Superior
Junction, $50 miles. The great pro-
ject of a national railway was started
in September, 1905, when Sir Wilfrid
Laurier turned the first sod at Fort
William. At about the same time
actual construction was commenced
on the prairie section west of Winni-
peg. Since then thousands of men
have been at work, with the result
that the great project, which means
so much to western Canada, is rapid
ly nearing completion.
The line from Winnipeg to Edmon-
ton was opened year ago. The COM
pletion of the Superior Junction
branch will allow the road to be
operated from Fort William through
to Edmonton, about HOO miles. This
will enable the new transcontinental
line to move this years grain crop
next month
The placing of Edmonton, which is
in the heart of the great wheat belt,
in direct communication with Fort
William the great grain outlet for
western Canada, marks another epoch
of western development and has deep
significance to both cities. Edmonton
appears destined to become the great
railroad center of Alberta and will
rapidly take its place among the great
cities of the west 1t is probable the
opening of the new line will be appro-
