passenger automobile is not big enough Either a larger one should be procured or else, the board should purchase more of the seven passenger kind. Also. we think it would have been better to specify a higher horse power. It may be that sometime an honor man may want to make a get away faster than a 40 h. p. can carry him. However this is a step in the right direction. It leaves no doubt that the board of control is on the right track and that it realizes that the convicts need something more than the coddling they have been re- ceiving for the last four months, They need travel for as Bacon has it: Travel maketh a man broad"
 Some captious, narrow minded tax payers, we suppose, will find fault with the board; they may think that an automobile of such dimensions and capacity for speed is not necessary to the conduct of the business of the prison. Our only criticism is of the diliatoriness of the board in this res pect. The prison ought to have had an automobile long ago. It ought to have had one when Miss Kate Bar nard was a guest of the institution and when the convicts who escorted her about the country were put to the humiliation of employing a horse and buggy. a means of conveyance not of the spirit of rsle times and which did not cOmport with the dignity and high aims of the institution at Florence. We are glad that at last, the board of control seen it's duty and done it."

THE RESPECT DUE A PRESIDENT
Clancy Had His Own Ideas on This
 Subject

J. Sullivan a Chicago attorney who was called upon recently at the ban quet of the Notre Dame alumnae held at the University club. said:
 Clancy was working for the Illi- rois Central as sWitchman at the same time that MT Fish, a strict dis ciplinarian and a dignified man, was serving the same company as presi- dent. One day Clancy entered the office of the president. his pipe in his mouth, his hat tilted on the side of his head. and he thus addressed the head of the road;
 MT Fish. 1 am a switchman for your road and 1 want a pass to St Louis
 MT. Fish looked at Clancy disap provingly Now. look here. Clancy he said. I'm going to give you the pass, all right; but don't you think you ought to come in here a little more respectfully? Suppose you come back for the pass in an hour and come back with your hat in your hand and your pipe in your pocket
 Tn an hour Clancy came back, fire in his eye. and the following cOllo- quy occurred:
 MT CIancy-Good morning. Is this Mir Fish. president of the Illi- nOis Central railroad company?
 MT F'ish-It is. and I think you are Mr Clancy of the operating de- partment What can I do for you, MT Clancy?
 MT Clancy-YOu can go straight to blue blazes. I've got a pass over the Wabash. .'t-Chicago Tribune
