raE CHILD BEHIND.

Look about as you walk along the
street and see how many children you
can count chasing after or riding on
the ends of wagons in the streets. The
odds are heavy that you cannot fall to
see such a sight every time you take
the trouble to look Everybody sees
the sight. and nobody does anything
about II. Would you believe that 1t Is
Just as much against the law for
child to catch behind as 1t is for
stranger from out OF town to stop his
vehicle within ten feet of hydrant.
Let the stranger try 1t on and he soon
finds himself In the clutches of the
law, says the Hartford Courant. But
let a child try 1t on and there he is.
Now the inevitable result of this utter
neglect to enforce a law that makes
for safety is simply to invite peril.
Pretty soon. possibly on another page
of the paper In which this article ap-
pears, there will be an account of an
other automobile accident. Some ex-
citable observers will likely call 1t an
automobile outrage. 1t will be the
story of how an automobile ran over
child that had been playing catch
behind and had jumped of the vehicle
1t was stealing ride on The one
way to prevent these killings for
which drivers are not to blame is to
impress on the children and their par
ents that this business, which the law
forbids. must stop.

KNOCKING our TREATING.

The supreme court OF the state of
Washington has upheld the right OF
the city of Tacoma to enforce an anti
treating ordinance. The court holds
that the power to regulate saloons
means also the power to regulate the
conduct of citizens in saloons. The
court did not consider seriously the
argument that treating is an act OF
hospitality, and that 1t was an indi-
vidual right which could not be
abridged. The court says this argu-
ment has no weight whatever in sup
port of practice which becomes a
menace to morality and order, says
the st. Paul Pioneer Press. 1t holds
that the citizen has no inherent right to
treat another in a saloon which is un-
der the control OF the police power
Whatever the right of the citizen may
be elsewhere. he has no inherent right
even to buy liquor in such place"
1t will be interesting to watch the ef-
feet of the decision. Whether such an
ordinance can be successfully enforced
is open TO question One thing will be
generally admitted. and that is that
with the treating system abolished the
sale of liquor would fall of tremend-
ously. The number OF people who
drink alone is inconsequential The
great bulk of liQuor-drinking is done
under the guise of 'sociability."

Thaw leaned forward and looked in
to the sheriff's face. Way down in his
heart he must have felt relieved. His
face showed it. He was a prisoner
again, and the responsibility of being
free and not knowing what to DO was
lifted. He shook the sheriff's hand
cordially and with no word of protest
or reproaeh climbed into the sheril's
big machine. Under his arm he bore
his cigars.
