ALREADY COMMITTED.

The Columbia State is rather rough
on its Charleston contemporaries, be-
cause, as it claims. they have not
taken any positive stand on the ques-
ton of city government by commits
sion. 1t is even disposed to be irrev-
erent in its attitude towards the News
and Courier; but If the Assistant Edi-
tor Of the State will think about it a
minute he will recollect that the News
and Courier took its stand in favor OF
commission government more than
two years ago and that he helped it
to take 1t. The stand was made, as
he will recollect, at the instance of the
late George a. Wagner, one of the
best men In the State That was long
before the Assistant Editor played the
part assigned to him by the Hon. Ben
jamin Hagood. and long before Colum-
bia ever dreamed of changing its mu-
nicipal habit.

MORE TIRE rRounLE.

Automobile enthusiasts are much
disturbed over the tire question, and
see in 1t a great menace to the future
OF motoring. The large increase In
the demand for rubber tires during the
last few years has exceeded the pro-
duction OF crude rubber and manu-
facturers are having great difficulty
in getting rubber with which to make
tire castings. There is much competi-
ton in the rubber fields, and this has
creasing the cost OF the crude pro-
duct. A tire casing 36x4 inches, which
cost s44.65 with the inner tube a few
months ago. Is now selling for S4ss0,
net. and will probably bring larger
price before fall. How to get out of the
difficulty without putting the cost OF
automobiles beyond the reach of tho
average man is the problem conrront-
ing the manufacturers.
AS we pointed out some time ago,
pneumatic rubber tires are necessary
to protect the delicate engines of tho
car against shocks which the springs
do not break. George Westinghouse
to be sure, says that he is going to
make spring that will not REQUIRE
pneumatic tires, and IL he do so he will
have solved the problem, but until he
perfect the spring the automobile
makers cannot hope to dispense with
pneumatic tires.
Here is fine opportunity for some
skilful inventor. A man who could max q
a tire that would be pneumatic, and yet
would not be made of rubber, could
make fortune, and possibly save the
automobile business during the next
rev years. Such thing is not
impossible as 1t may seem at first sight
OF course pneumatic inner tubes will
have to remain. but the requirements
Tor outer tubes are not very exacting.
Ihey might be made by blending the
ruDoer with some cheaper product, so
that the tire might be as tough az
rubber, might have all the other nee.
essary qualities and might be even
more durable.
we have no doubt that such a tire

cunFnw FOR AuroMoB1brsrs.

An ordinance will be introduced at
the meeting OF the Common Council
next Monday night, providing that the
automobiles in this town shall be fur
inished with uniform signal horns.
This is a move In the right direction.
1t will relieve the public from a per-
feet Babel OF noise and inure to the
safety of pedestrians. 1t is exactly the
thing that the municipal authorities
should require.
We would like to propose one
amendment. and that is.that curfew BIO
used in Richmond for the automobile
people. Far back in the Middle Ages
the ringing Of a bell at night was the
signal for the cessation of all outdoor
life. The custom existed as a general
police regulation, and tho custom
should be established here as to the
automobiles for the public benefit.
Tho old curfew bell used to ring at
eight o'clock in the evening. We
would make the automobile currew
eleven o'clock at night. This would

pie time for all the riding that would
be good for their health and all the
enjoyment they could reasonably ex-
pect from touring and 1t would at
the same time give the quiet people
who live in much frequented thorough
fares the chance TO live and die in
peace. 1t is an outrageous thing that
the peace of the whole town should be
disturbed for the qualification OF those
who run machines. and eleven o'clock
curfew for the autonlobilists would not
hurt them and would help everybody
else in town. We think that every one
should get all the pleasure out of this
life that he can, but we do not believe
that anybody has the right to punish
his neighbor for the sake OF his own
personal pleasure.
Let the auto-horn ordinance pass
by all means, but let it be amended so
that the whole town shall not be kept
awake all night because the automo-
bilists think they are enjoying them
selves.

LONG LIFE AND NOISE,

We wish DR.. Charles Fl. Hughes, al

because we need such man

and crusader as we'll. with a deep

just +written very vigorous protest
to the chief of police in st. Louis de-
handing that something be done 10
reduce the unnecessary noise in that
city. He wants 'revelry and unbr,-
died motor car lunacy stopped and
asks why the motor car should go
through the streets roaring like a
lion, Wheeling like an estimate ar
shrieking like an infant with the
collie"
We admire DR. Hughess forcible
Smiles, but we are glad that he has
something substantial on which 10
base his opposition TO the noise ar

scientists OF the country he expresses
MS candid opinion that the noises Of

sleep No one in crowded section of
streets these days gets as much sleep
as he should have"
This is very true, bur Dir. Hughes
might have added that unnecessary
noise always has a disastrous effect
upon The nerves Of the people. A man
can get used to most noises or to
some noise OF an unusual character.
but no man can stand the eeaseless dill,
