BILLBOARDS ARE DOOMED.

There should be general rejoicing
over the sweeping decision of the SUI
preme court of Missouri to the effect
that cities may not only regulate the
size and conditions of billboards but
may even legisiate them out of exist
ence altogether. This form Of adver-
Using, says the court specifically. may
not only be regulated and controlled
but may be entirely suppressed for the
public good under the police power Of
the state
Obviously the chief importance of
this decision is that it brings the sub
Ject of billboardS well within the po-
lice power of the state. incidentally it
establishes the constitutionality of the
regulatory ordinance which st. Louis
passed some six years ago. Since the
court has indicated so clearly it's will
ingness to consider total abolition of
billboards it is probable that we shall
hear further from Missouri on that
matter Three or four more decisions
of that sort will have the billboards on
the run.

Paddy Hehir and Joe Fogler are at
each other tonight in a French style
match race, best two in three heats.
Considerable bitterness between these
riders all through the season culmi-
mated Wednesday night in an encoun-
ter in the training quarters.
This aroused the ire Of MacFarlsnd
and he notified Hehir that he would
have to take Gordon Walkers place
against Fogler in the match race to-
night, -,

trying to bully some of us all season

tries anything In this race / certainly
will take my own part

injure another rider. Any man can
knock another off his wheel, as I will
demonstrate to Hehir if it becomes
necessary SUNDAY night.''
MacFarland declares that he will not
have his riders holding grudges against
each other and any time that he finds
there is trouble between two men he
will make them get out aud battle it
out IN r match race on the track. He
has notified all of the riders to this
effect.
