popular orator that he affected intoxi-

such as Burns and Poe, have not suf-
feed to obscure either the general
lnumor, or their own genius. To make
merry with ones friends-even the ex-
travagances of unguarded gayety-has
ever been a venial offense; and. for
the very obvious reason, that occasional
conviviality is one thing, whilst alco-
holism is quite another thing.

CUTTING OUT THE MUFFLER.

ICedar Rap ids Daily Republican,
There is much complaint, and 1t
comes from all parts Of the city, that
automobile men and motorcycle men
go up and down the streets with their
mufflers cut out, to the annoyance OF
all. If one person, it is fifty who have
asked that these matters be brought
anew to the police.
But the police have their hands full
when it comes to interceptinS all
these noisy fools with cars and cycles.
These men commit their offenses
against decency when they are beyond
the police lines, especially in the out
lying residence districts. They are
for the most part men who can not
be reasoned with and who have nc
regard for the rights of others. The
other day there was funeral service
held on lawn, and past that solemn
assembly they dashed with their muf-
hers open. There was only one man
seen among them all who had re-
spect enough for such service tc
turn. so as to avoid going past the
residence affected, while the services
were in progress. With men so lack
! ing In the decencies of life, it is ilarG

/ heavy fines are the only things the5
will ever feel.
