AUTOMOBILE LAWS.

Several bills before the legislature concern the further regulating of the speed of automobiles upon the high ways of cities and towns of the state. for the protection of children and to insure greater safety for any who may be in the highway on foot or in vehicles. Speeding is one of the evils and the Thoms bill seeks to prohibit the speed of autos beyond thirty miles an hour. Much can be said both in favor and against the passage of a law with such a restriction. The de- nand for greater restrictions lies at the door of the auto driver himself It is the conduct of the needless driver which brings disfavor upon the auto drivers as a class and is con stantly bringing before the legisla- ture bills for new regulations.
 By the present law concerning mo- tor vehicles and their operation upon the highways much is left to the judg- ment of the operator. He becomes the judge of the speed that can be safely made and it's regulation depends upon his view of it with the under standing that he will be held respon- EibIe. Under such conditions the trou- ble comes from the fact that he is not in control of all conditions and there by as a speeder he becomes a menace Do others. Much of the fault with the existing law is due to the lack of enforcement If such is weak ness with the present regulations which are less rigid than the proposed from any new law. It is apparently case of securing better enforcemen of the present laws, with improve ment of minor defects.

Solving the Problem.

MT. Editor: As to the solution of that problem propounded by Inquirer, I think if MT. Troland had read it with any care he would have seen that did same question, one solved by arithme- tic, the other by algebra. All this diff ference of opinion rises from a differ ence on one point. I think almost any one will agree with me that to sell any article so as to make profit of 10 per cent. is to get $1.10 for every dollar laid out. MT. Troland does not think so, and therein lies all the diff ference I have been engaged in the pedagogic art" ten years of my life, and I believe I was rather noted for q persistency in explaining to dull scho!- ars until I made them understand. 1 propose now to write solution of both questions, solving both by algebra. ing as I would to beginners, so that any one can understand, whether they have any knowledge of algebra or not. We are required to get the selling price of the article. If the dealer wishes to make 10 per cent. profit on the cost after the expenses of the business are paid, the selling price must be sufficient to cover the cost
 the 10 per cent. profit thereon, which would amount to $1.10. and the ex- penses. that is. the sum of these will equal the selling price We will let X equal the selling price. Then as the expenses of the business are p per cent, that Is 22-1ooths of the selling price, 22-1o0ths X will equal the ex- penses. We will reduce this fraction to lowest terms by dividing both nu
 merator and denominator by and we have 11-50ths x. Then we have th. equation X equals $1.10 plus 1150 Y. We wish. for convenience, to change the fra ction to a whole number and SC we multiply it by 50. as. if a frac-
 ton be multiplied by it's denomfnatcr,

AMBASSADOR TO GREAT BRITAIN

If ex-President Charles W. Eliot of Harvard university will accept he will be the next ambassador to Great Bri- tain from this country. In offering him the post President Wilson, as in his first selection. shows a rare dis crimination as to merit and ability. He likewise gives to New England the most important post in the diplomatic corps, a position which requires men of the highest integrity and judgment standing of the problems between the nations.
 In Dr. Eliot the administration would have a sympathetic represen- tative; one who is in thorough accord with the policies of the president, and Aone who has stood by him in his advo- cacy of certain important changes in the conduct of the government He is by two years the senior of Richard ". Olney who but recently declined the appointment but he Is unquestion- a Div at seventy nine q man of much vfgor and one of powerful influences. He must be recognized ss an excel lent choice. if he IS willing to give up the closing years of his life to the duties of the ambassadorship. There are many important questions for set tlament between this country and Great Britain. the handling of which requires our best diplomat. Dr. Eliot is well versed in international affairs and his appointment if accepted will be without the semblance Of reward f0x his nalitcl service

Hanover is in Spraeue.

MT Editor: The item which appear ed in your issue of March 19 headed District Attorney Whitman was born in Hanover is absolutely correct. On the following day you published a statement purporting to come from Town Clerk Cote to the effect that Attorney Whitman was born in Sprague, not in Hanover" Following out such weak logic as this, then, Rev. John Whitman, father of the New York attorney, lived and had pas torate in Sprague, not in Hanover. What is the matter with Clerk Core that he seems to know so little about the geography of his own town?

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
AN EASTER SALUTATiON.e

Christians of the Greek church on Easter morning greet each other with i the words The Lord is riseni" The ! customary answer is. '' He is risen in deed" Beautiful salutations surely! ]! It is fitting that the great event of the day commentaries be made subject of universal felicitation. l So gracious a custom is worthy of emulation. What sublimer hope do we cherish than that empha sized by the day of resurrection? The glory of it should surely be reflected in radiant faces and joyful speech. Of old in the gray dawn the risen Lord met the two Marys with the sal utation, All hail." It was the chal- lenge of conqueror and the greeting of a friend It sounded the keynote of gladness and triumph with which Easter should be celebrated to the end of time.
 Into this high and hopeful mood the day should lead us. Since it last dawn ed many of the sons of men have have i known prostrating bereavement They i have come from Gods acre dazed and crushed. They have found life straight companionships. Few there be who have lived in any world of noble friends ships but must yearn for the touch of vanished hand and the sound of a voice that is still.
 We need to dwell with that immort- al hope of which the day bears witness After a thousand Easters have come and gone since that first one our sentially pagan. Men talk and act as though life ended in the cemetery, as though the blessed dead were captives of the grave.
 scene that in itself is an Easter ser mon. The children Tyityl and Mityl come to the graveyard. The little girl asks tinnorously, Do the dead i've h cIoh houses?" And then in terror she begins to cry while her brother tries to com fort her.
 As they stand there a transforma ton occurs. The crosses begin to tot ter, the mounds open, the slabs lift. The sombre place begins to change be- fore their eyes into a fairy garden full of loyliness and fragrance,
 Dew sparkles, flowers bloom out in riot of color, wind murmurs in the trees. Bees hum and birds awake to fill the place with their songs of sunshine and life.
 Puzzled, the children look about for some traces of graves or those who live in them. Where are the dead? ?'' they ask. And then at length the truth dawns upon them, a truth the saddened heart of humanity needs to remember the cemetery is empty after all. Why there are no dead!" the children exclain.
 It is just that that Easter is teaching Us.
 Life is real, life Is earnest
 And the grave is not it's goal.
 Dust thou art, to dust returnest

The tHaw. hawi haw." of the man of the street may not have a heavenly sound, but it is starting now vibration for him. Haven't you noticed how glee quickens the spirit of a man--how he holds his sides or slaps his knees when he is convulsed with laughter. It was Charles Lamb who discovered that "a laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market" Thackery decided that a good laugh is sunshine in the house. I do like these who laugh. even if the horse-laugh and the vacant mind are said to have been permanently welded. An internal shaking is what most of us need, and should get oftener.

SAFETY FOR RULERS.

l Long is the list of public men who | have been slain by the bullet of an 1 assassin, murdered not because of | personal enmity but because they held a position at the head of their eoun- I try or high in the affairs of nation. Even longer is the list of attempts which have been made upon the lives | of public officials. by anarchists, mad l men or cranks. This tendency of op- 1 position to government is increasing to such an extent that the strongest measures should be taken to check it even to placing under surveillance such persons as are known to have expressed desire or determination to seek the end of those at the head of government. Such men as the assassin of King George of Greece are a detri- ment to society, dangerous person to be at large. His attitude to the sovereign whose death he later caused was known. He had permitted his hatred to grow and encouraged 1t with his associations and readings.
 Too much liberty is given men of
 his type and with the recollection that it was but a dozen years ago that our beloved President Mckinley was shot down by one of similar char acteristics and only last summer a fanatic with like intentions made an unsuccessful assault upon ex-President Roosevelt. it is apparent that repub- lies s well as monarchies stand in like position. Denouncement of such acts and execution do not check them. The need is to seek out and place un- der control such men as guard to the countries and their rulers and a protection to themselves from their own insane ideas. In this all could cooperate with the best results.
 HELPING PRISONERS.
 Every state feels the importance of doing it's full duty to it's prisoners. While they are serving time as a pun ishment for their misdeeds it Is pos sible to bring to bear good influences which will have greater effect upon the future life of the convict than the actual punishment. The import ance of exerting all such influence possible cannot be too strongly con sidered. From that the best results can be obtained in the parole system.
 In Massac achusetts the need of more of such work is felt because of the number of paroled prisoners who are returned. The Boston Post looks at it sensibly when it says: The great problem for the state to solve with paroled men, as well as with all men released from jail or prison, is how to start them anew in life. That is not for their own account merely but for the good of society. morally and financially. It costs money to main tain prisoners; it costs more to send them back again. Some will return, of course, from innate depravfey, but some go back because of the harsh handicap of the prison stigma and the inability to support themselves honestly. They must be helped be- fore they come out'
 A western governor believes that the prisoner simply needs to be made to understand that he has as good a chance as anyone. He is putting his plan into practice with good results Making prisoners realize that they can yet become good citizens and that the public is interested in their be- coming such goes a long way in many instances towards reformation.
