OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM
THE EXCHANGES

I of persons killed by automobiles in
these twenty-five cities alone was
considerably more than twice the to-
tai number of railway passengers
killed.
1t is apparent, even from these in
adequate statistics of automobile
fatalities, that there is something
radically wrong in the traffic regula-
lions of the larger cities, or In their
enforcement. The sacrifice of human
life is too heavy toll to pay for the
advantages of the modern automobile
Railway managers are now being held
to strict accountability for prevent
able accidents, and the time is not far
distant when the reckless use of the
automobile must be checked

From the Springfield Republican.
The dishonest advertiser is being at
tackled from all sides nowadays, and
the idea grows that telling lies in
order to sell goods is not very far
from stealing. This is the way the
great majority of advertisers feel
about it; If some of them transgress
it is because they feel driven into IL
by the practises of the less scrupu>
lous, and they would welcome a
square deal for all. In some of the
Western States the lawmakers are
taking advanced ground in this mat
ter, and we note the fine of $50 just
imposed upon q storekeeper at Ever
EFT, Wash, for selling fountain pens
that had not formed a part of a
stock advertised as having belonged
to another dealer. Misrepresentation
of this kind has become much too
common in retail trade. In some
cases no great harm is done; the
goods sold are worth what is asked
for them, and the Misrepresentation
is simply way of exciting the in
terest and expectation of the public
But too often under such cover
some wretched trash is worked off
Against impositions of this sort the
public is fairly entitled to protection
The booth Reconciliation.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The public reconciliation and hand
shaking between Bramwell Booth,
head of the Salvation Army, and Bal
lington Booth, head of the Volun-
teers of America, may or may not be
a forecast of a union of forces be-
tween two great religious bodies, each
pursuing the same objects, but it is
certainly a dramatic event i'm the re-
ligious history of this country.
Eighteen years ago the break came
between the late General Booth and
his son Ballington, who, with his
wife, Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth,
had headed the Salvation Army work
in America. Their followers COM
planned of too much interference from
London. Ballington agreed with them
and chose to start new organization,

lines The difference was not per-
sonal in origin. 1t became personal.
almost inevitably, with the growth of
the Volunteers.
Now the Booth family is at peace.
The work in both it's phases will go
on with or without union. In our
Judgment formal union is not nearly
so important as the Christian fellow
ship that makes possible wholesome
collaboration.

By combining operations in this
