POINT OUT BETTER WAY
Observer Notices a Few Things in Regard to the Wisdom of
 Professional Critics

MT. Editor.-Often we pick up a certain local paper, edited by an ex-menber of the Legislature, and notice many criticism, rebukes and jokes concerning the present legis- lature.
 There never was, nor never will be a legislature which will do its work just to suit every one of us. But we think every one should be consistent and considerate in criti- ciSing the acts of public officials. Why should one whose acts as an official were not entirely above criticism, pour out such an abund- anee of severe criticisms, jokes, and burlesques upon the present legislature, after having served one term as a member of a former session and very diligently sought a second term?
 Why should any one preach about how others should act, when their own actions do not justify their position?
 have heard men talk about the necessity of good roads, but when 1t came to helping, either in labor or funds, they would find fault with some one in charge, or take exception to the manner in which the work was to be done.
 I have heard men talk about the necessity of better schools but, for very frivilous excuse, keep their children out of school for an entire session and not attend the annual school election; and, there after, talk about the school board and the teachers.
 In fact, you will find men stand back and refuse to take part in various public enterprises because they are afraid it will add laurels to the work of some more public spirited citizen or official. You will find some men willing to see an enterprise fail because there is some one interested in the success of the project whom they don't like" Such is common among men who put personal preferences and individual feeling above the good of their country.
 We are responsible for the con. ditions of politics because we will sit for an hour and listen to VI tuperation and personal abuse be ing handed out by some dema. gogue, and will get up and walk out of meeting when sound minded man gets up and begins tt discuss real facts and questions o1

The young man who was before the

charged with operating motorcycle
on North Alfred street at an unlawful
speed has withdrawn his appeal and
paid the fine imposed. The accused

ance before the Corporation Court.
Since the recent arrests Of parties for
violating speed laws by automobiles
and automobiles and motorcyclists
there has been diminuition in the
recklessness heretofore so often appar-
ent, and it is hoped that in the interest
of public safety all who desire to en-

ercise the care necessary for the pro-
lection of life and limb to themselves
and others. The police force ia de-
termined to arrest all persons who may
in future be seen violating the law, and

over automobiles and motorcycles
