SPEEDING AUTOIST FINED
Police Say They Will Hereafter
Enforce the City Ordinance

After lying peacefully undisturbed
for many months, the ordinance re-
gulating the speed of motor-driven
vehicles on the city streets to eight
miles per hour, has been revived and
was yesterday applied to the case of
one Mcmillan, who works for Mr.. w.
w. Gibbs, and who therefore, be it
known, was violating the speed ordi-
nance in a Brush Runabout. True to
the gospel of his employer, Mcmillan
claimed the machine was making 80
miles at the time of observation.
Most anybody else would have fallen
back on the defense that is wasn't in
the Brush to exceed the legal limit.
Before Justice Glasgow, few
minutes later, the young man was
fined $500 and costs, Mr.. White
sell, of the same concern, agreeing
to stand for the amount until Mr..
Gibbs returns from New York.
The activity of the police lasted
long enought to issue one other
summons for similar offence which
will be tried in police court this
morning. 1t is limited that enforce
ment of the regulations governing
speed will be more vigorously push
ed from now on. The minimum fine
in such cases is ten dollars.

BON-BONS CAUSE MISHAP
Occupants Have Narrow Escape
When Auto Goes Into Ditch

A box of bOn-bons was responsible
for an accident Tuesday night which
might have resulted more disastrous
ly for Mrs. Thomas Kinney and her
Young son who were returning to
their home on the Churchville Pike
in Mrs. Kinney's Maxwell runabout.
When opposite the home of Mr.. b.
F. Smith, about mile and half
from town, Mrs. Kinney relaxed her
grip on the steering wheel for a
moment to give the little boy piece
of candy and, before she realized
what was the matter, the runabout
had swerved and gone straight into
a five foot ditch at the side of the
road, the engine stopping as the
sturdy little machine attempted to
climb up and out of the ravlne.
Mrs. Kinney managed to remain in
the car but her son was thrown out
and one arm injured. The little
Maxwell got off with slightly bent
axle and broken lamp. Had the
the machine gone into the gulley at
an angle instead of in the way it did,
it is very likely that it would have
turned turtle and crushed the occu-
pants.

WILL BRING TURNER HERE
Rockingham Young Man Caused
Big Collision on Highway

An attendant from the Western
State Hospital will very probably go
to Harrisonburg today to take in
custody William Turner who was on
Tuesday committed to that institu-
ton by a commission in lunacy at
his home near Timberville, and who
is now confined in the Rockingham
county jail.
On June 16, Turner incensed the
citizens of the Plains district by
running a traction engine into a rock
crusher belonging to the road board.
For this offence, he was confined in
the county Jail until July II.
While his actions for some time
had convinced his physicians that
his mind was unsound, the family.
until Tuesday, objected to having a
commission sit on the case. Tnh mans
memory seems to be entirely blank
He cannot be engaged in conversa-
ton and seems to take no interest
whatever in events transpiring
around him. Before his confinement
in Jail, it is said that his mind was
sound, although the theory that he
was temporarily insane, when he
committed the offence of running the
traction engine into the crusher, is
advanced by some.
The unfortunate man is a son OF
John Turner of Timberville. Nc
cause has been assigned for his de

PRESIDENT SIGNS
RECIPROCITY BILL
First Engrossed in House and
Senate, Then Hurried to White
House Without Delay

Washington, July 26.-Recipro-
city is now law in the United Safes.
Presidnt Taft at $3.50 O'Clock this
afternoon signed the trade treaty
with Canada and ended legislative
fight that has continued through
two Congresses.
AS soon as the House met today
the engrossed bill providing for
close commercial relations between
this country and the Dominion was
placed before Speaker Champ Clark
and his signature affixed. 1t then
went to the Senate Then it was
hurried to the White House.
With Little Ceremony
There was little ceremony in the
Executive Offices at the time the act
was signed. The President was sur
rounded by Secretary Knox, his Office
force, a, few visitors, and the news
paper men. Just as he touched his
pen to. the parchment, half a dozen
photographers snapped their ma
chines- In another instant the ap-
prOval of the Executive was given
and the act of Congress became a
statute, of the United States.
When it was over the President re-
ceived congratulations all over again
for the success Of the first original
policy of his Administration.

interested to see the stand that would
be taken. All doubt vanished when
on Saturday night the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, Mr.. Lloyd-George said
that he would make great sacrifices to
preserve peace, shut if situation were
to be forced upon US in which peace
could only be preserved by the sur
render of the great and benificent po-
sition that Great Britain has won by
centuries of heroism and achievement
by allowing Great Britain to be
treated, where her interests were vital
ly affected, as if she were of no ac-
count in the cabinet of nations-then
1 say emphatically that peace at that
price would be humiliation intoler-
able for great country like ours to
endure"
This means but one thing-France,
Spain and Great Britain arrayed on
one side with Germany and perchance
her allies Austria-Hungary and Italy
on the other, would convulse Europe.
The chances are that Russia, as the
ally OF France, would become involv-
ed and that the slum bering volcano in
the Balkans would burst forth. Con-
ceivably our interests in Liberia may
involve US in the storm, but as it
stands, the | outlook for universal
peace is poor.

PLAN NEW SENSATION
Jones and Glass Now Busy Pre-
pairing Fresh Ammunition Supply

Through a change made yesterday
former Governor A. J. Montague will
speak in Staunton on Thursday Au-
gust 10, instead of on August II, as
previously announced.
New campaign material of what is
expected to be a sensational nature
will be launched by Representative
William A. Jones in his speech at
Manassas on Monday, August Z, and
by Representative Carter Glass at
Lawrenceville on Monday, July 81.
This is the present intention of these
two candidates for the United States
Senate.
Manager C. B. Garrett, of Vir-
ginia Democratic League, said yes
terday that both of the leagues can
didates have some matter which will
prove of good deal of interest to
the public. Mr.. Jones, he said, will
hardly be able to prepare his new
shot until after his return from the
southwest, and therefore it may be
expected at the Manassas speech.
Mr.. Glass has also a new section of
his speech in preparation, with the
intention of presenting it first to
the voters of Brunswick county.
The nature of the developments
have not been divulged.

WHERE WE STAND

AS the time approaches for the vote
on the question of License or No
License to be taken, the interest nat
urally grows in intensity and the Man.
agement of this paper has been asked
why the paper does not take a decided
stand one way or the other on this
very important issue. AS TO any such
inquiries that have come or may come
from sources, unfriendly to the paper,
we shall pay no attention whatever,
and in fact, care absolutely nothing
about them, but when the inquiries
come from our friends, we feel that it
would be discourleous to ignore them.
Briefly, our reasons for keeping
GLANDS off, are as follows:
In the first place, it is ''family af-
fair" brother against brother, and we
have friends on both sides.
In the second place, the paper is in
the last analysis, a business PROPOSE
tion, catering to the community as a
whole and is expected to represent, to
a large degree, the sentiment of the
entire community, not any particular
creed or fraction thereof. A great
many of our valued friends believe
strongly in the No License law, and a
great many of them, for reasons salts
factory to themselves, do not believe
in it. We are perfectly willing to
concede to any one or all of them the
right to have and exercise his or their
own opinion in this matter.
In the third place, there are finan-
cially interested in this paper several
responsible citizens Of Staunton, who
do not believe in "Local Option"
while on the other hand, several of
those interested do believe in it, be-
cause in their opinion, it is, while not
perfect remedy, by any means, the
best solution now offered for the elm
ination of the drink evil from our
community. 1t would be manifestly
unfair to any of those interested in the
paper, to coerce them into a partisan
stand in what is really a ''family
squabble."
This paper under the present manage
ment has persistently and consistent
ly refused to do anything that could,
in any way be considered as endorsing,
or supporting the liquor traffic simply
because those in control of its policy
could not conscientiously do otner-
wise, and that attitude towards the
liquor question will be maintained.
On the other, however, for the rea-
sons hereinbefore set out we shall not
undertake to criticise those Of our fel-
low citizens who dc not agree with US,
but shall pursue the even tenor of our
way exercising our Individual rights
in the present controversy and accord
ing to every other man the same pri-
vilege.
