Public Expectoration.

The. mayor OF Memphis the other day
thoushtlessly expectorated on the floor OF
the courthouse in that city in violation or
a municipal ordinance and was promptly
arrested and fined $500. which he cheer
fully paid. He had ordered every police
officer to carry out the rule to the letter
and was one of the first, victims OF this
activity. This was an instructive object
lesson which should be noted in every
city in the United States. Anticipating
ordinances are in force now in majority
of places and are strictly enforced in
practically none of them. Everybody rec
Ognizes the danger of this practice and
the wisdom and justice OF endeavoring by
legal means to check 1t. And yet arrests
for this ofrense are rare. Probably not one
case out of a thousand results in punish
ment. Policemen grow Indifferent and
permit violations of the law to be commit
ted under their eyes without Intervention
or even warming. Any policeman on a
downtown beat in this city. for example,
who is bent upon enforcing this regula-
ton might fill q station house with pris-
oners IL he arrested every violator Of the
rule he caught in the act. The punish
ment of the mayor of Memphis suggests
that it might be we'll for the chief of po-
lice occasionally to order his entire force
to devote a certain day specifically to the
arresting of violators Of the anti-spitting
regulation. A roundup of those who per-
sist in endangering the public health by
indulgence in this thoughtless. insanitary
habit would go far toward teaching
Washington a beneficial lesson and MAX
ing the law a real force for the protec-
ton OF life.

Mr.. Watterson and the Hoosiers.

The tariff plank Of the Indiana demo-
cratic platform continues to be a subject
of curiosity Who prepared it? What
influences secured its adoption? Why at
a time when something ringing and clear
and to the point was expected was such
a deliverance put out?
Here was a former stronghold of the
revenue tariff propaganda. For years
the democratic leaders of the state in
dealing with the subject had taken the
most advanced ground. Soon after the
civil war Mr.. Hendricks gave the cue,
and all of his associates had taken it,
1t is still being taken by men of promi-
nence. Gov. Marshall is as pronounced
a riff-forrevenue-onlyer as the coun
try contains. And yet the Indiana de-
mocracy, at this time of high party hope
is going into action on a sort of tariff
evasion-a trick expression which SPELL
binders on the stump may twist to suit
any old purpose, or no purpose at ALL

The demand of the hour is candidate
for governor He must be a good. clean,
straight man. not too near the machine

word, he should be a man of high re-

Among the names under discussion
is that OF Woodrow Wilson. He finds
time from his duties as an educator to
study current politics, and is very
effective public speaker. Why not put
him up: Why not conjure with name

Motors by the Million.

This may not be the "horseless age.
but 1t Is certainly the day OF the autoHo-
bile Motor cars OF all styles and sraoes
and degrees of costlness are In use IN
every part of the country. How many OF
them are in service it is now Impossible
to ascertain, but the number certain!
passes the million mark. In the state
of New York alone there are more thah
1OOOOO automobiles. licenses to that num-
Der having been issued from the office
of the secretary of state. There are
more than $1,000 licensed chauheurs In
the state. The rush for motor car IL
censes at Albany is beyond all prece-
dent. the lowest number of applications
received in one day being $50. 1t is est'-
mated that the weekly investment in
motors in the state Of New York alone is
over 81, 100000, and it is interesting TO
note that there is a material increase In
the number of poor mems cars, that
is to say, motors Of the cheaper grades
bought for family uses and for pro1es-
sjonai purposes. The city of Greater New
York demands, of course. the largest
share of the licenses, the city OF Bunalo

end this despite the fact that the street
railway service is better than it has ever
been. The truth Is that the people do
not buy automobiles mainly to provide
themselves with means of rapid transit.
but to obtain the special pleasure OF
having individual cars subject to their
own control and yielding them a maxi
mum of comfort with a speed capacity
superior to that of the street railway.
OF course, on the pleasure side OF the
account the motor car is infinitely pref
cradle But for ordinary business pur-
poses 1t is not required in a city, and
the extraordinary increase in the num-
her of machines in use must be regard
ed as an indulgence in luxury which can
mean only that ,ne country is prosper
Gus Mt a rate never before enjoyed.
Another side of the question remains
TO be considered, the industrial effect Of
this enormous annual expenditure in
motor cars \ large army of skilled
Norkinsmen must be kept busy continu-
ally to supply the demand. Exact statis-
ties on this point would be highly in
structive 1t is to be hoped that the
census figures Will throw light upon the
question of how many active plants are
now in existence manufacturing automo-

ployed and how much is paid out an
nually in wages. Judging from the rec
ords of the licensing offices the remark
able prosperity which enables the people
to buy motor cars at the present rate is
being shared in large degree by the less
affiuent members Of society. Indeed, it is
a fact that many of the machines sold
are bought by artisans.
