NOW TO LESSEN THE NUMBER
 OF AUTOMOBILE FATALITIES

 X A JTOMOBILE killings are too frequent. k N They imply general, more than a par ticular negligence. There is a carelessness in which eve rybody shares garages and d,owpers of machines, to the extent that braking power is not maintained at it's highest efficiency The authorities and the public, to the extent that traffic rules are not strictly enforced. Drivers |of automobiles and teams, who trust too much to luck, and not enough to caution. Pedes- trians who step suddenly from sidewalks onto travelled thoronghfares occupied by swift nov ing vehicles.
 The accident at Roundhouse switch is one which may or may not have been avoidable. Only the evidence can show. If the car by which the woman was killed was properly lighted and at a reasonable speed the blame would seem to De with the victim If the contrary was the case the blame was with 1.-the driver
 This factSsis certain The highways are loccupied by traffic that moves swiftly It should move strictly according to the best rules that can be devised for safety of life and limb, and drivers must be held to accountability for observance ofsthose rules.
 E Turning corners improperly, passing stand ling trolley cars at any pace within which the automobile cannot be stopped within 8 foot of |nleyenent, passing other V vehlcles, at dangerous Ipoints on the road all things the authorities should prevent not after somebody is killed, but before 1 4 small penalty inflicted for. the violation of rllIe may save the infIiction Of large penalty because somebody has been killed.
 The laws relating to use Of the highways lights on vehicles and on trolley cars should be stringenfIy enforced
 l Finall Y, pedestrians should exercise caution Iof the greatest before stepping from sidewalk into the highway especially at other places than where crosswalk ks are located.
 No puni ent inf icted upon the driver oi an autonobae can give back life or limb to the lvienm. The lesson of modern traffic is, Care care and more care, iIpon the part of everybody.

 Dunstan, serene in his piety and faith, was not in the least afraid of his visitor, who according to all ac- counts. looked very much like an or dinary man save that he had horns a tail, and cloven hoofs. The black smith inquired of His Satanic males ty the occasion of the dubious honor he had paid him, and the Prince of Evil replied that he had been travel ing so long and so far that his hoofs had become sore and tender. and he desired to have horseshoes put on them. Dunstan agreed to do the Jop. and he made 1t as painful as possible for Old Nick. The devil beloved and reared fl, rage, but DurStan was very strong, azzd refused to let go of
 his hoofs until the Evil One had promised that he would never enter any house where horseshoe was nailed above the door. nor rnoiest any person who carried horseshoe

 This legend accounts fully for the
 good fortune that is supposed to at

 promise given by the Author of al
 Evil It was nearly a thousand years kago that the devil entered into that
 compact, which is long time for
 even the best Of folks to remember 2
 promise. It follows that we are con- fronted by two alternatives: Either the devil has sreligiouslys kept come pact. entered into under compuplsion, fr7. ,,zs1r1v Ter, certurfes and Is thus a person of his word and therefore not nearly So black as he has been paint either ts1at, or he has failed | to live up to his promise. in which case the horseshoe has no magical virtue whatever above that possessed | by any other piece Of metal.
 Students of ancient forms and ob- jects Of worship have given quite 2 different explanation of the orisfn os 1 the veneration of the horseshoe- Ac- cordi1g to this theory, which is well authenticated. enbIems of the gener- al shape or the horseshoe formed aT | important part Of the worship of the ancient Egs ptiaHs.

BECkER,S SECOND TRIAL


 rW~H HE evidence against Becker seems at this
 distances to be stronger than that pre- sented against him in his first trial. His own press agent, Pitt, has turned states evidence and has recited facts strongly corroborating the story told by Jack Rose The wives of the gun men. who lied at the first trial in the hope of saving their husbands. are now witnesses for the state and have no special incentive to per jury There is every reason to suppose the stor- fes these witnesses tell Of the relations between Becker and the gunmen are truthful The jury is of course the judge. II sees the witnesses, hears what they have to say. and is in a better position to know just what the truth is than anybody else can be- except the principals in The crime.
 The gunmen are dead by legal execution They were not the principals in the murder of Hosentha1, but they obeyed the orders of some body else If Becker is not that somebody else, he is the victim of very unfortunate set of cir cums stances.

Festival of St. Dunstan.

All intelligent people know that a horseshoe nailed over 8 door will keep out evil and bring good fortune: chat a miniature horseshoe worn as a watch charm or suspended from a chain around the neck is infinitely lucky and that floral horseshoe should form a part of the decorations for wedding festivities. if the Newly weds are to live happily forever af- ter The efficacy of the horseshoe is we'll known and can no more be doubted than can the 1uck-bring ing qualities of the right hind foot of rabbit caught in a graveyard at midnight during the dark of the moon" The infideI who is skeptical of the powers of the horseaoe would deny the effectiveness of the horse chestnut as a cure for rheumatism or the ability of a maidstone to prevent hydrophobia.
 While only a few iconoclasts will deny the luck of the horseshoe, not many of even the most ardent devotees of that charm know how or why il gained it's magical properties It was St. Dunstan, the blacksmith, and the patron of all smiths and Smiths. who made the horseshoe lucky, and his festival, which falls today. should enjoy a wide observance.
 St. Dunstan was ansAnglo-Saxon ec- clesiastic who lived in the tenth cen tury. He entered the Renedictfne Or der at an early age, and when not en- gagged in religious duties he was eTn- ployed as blacksnnitla. One day hs was toiling away at the forge, think

! WILL NOT DEPRIVE
 MEXIGANS OF FRUITS OF WAR

T F the reports giving the substance of Presi- L dent Wilson's conf erence with the Amer i6an mediation commissioners can be relied up o1i it is far from the purpos Of this gov to come to such an arraneement in Mexico as will strip the Mexican people of the material re- wards of the war they have been fl ghting.
 Everybody familiar with the subject knows the rebels are not in the field because they pre- fer lighting to peace nor for the puTpose of acl aniring wealth by the methods of bandits.
 The land of Mexico has been nnfairl y cen- tralized into the hands of few families and companies, and the great body of the people arc erit1eut any rightsin the soil
 The Carranza rebel lion is an expres ssion of ihe demand or the exican peons for land to till, without which they are little better than serfs.
 The presidents deter rnlination to keep the American forces in Vera Cruz until the whole Mexican question is settled is taken with the sanction and approval of the nation, and is $ course more likely to bring about an early and permanent peace than any other that might st present be suggested.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
Ledion Of Honor.


 The first decorations of the Legion of Honor, the famous French order of merit, were conferred in 1902 upon military and civil officers who had distinguished themselves under the Consulate. The order was founded liz years ago to-day.s May 19. 1902. by Napoleon, when he was first consul It consisted of various grades. as grand crosses, grand officers, commanders, officers and Iegionaries, and was re- ward for services or merit. The or der was confirmed by Louis XVIII, when the Boufbpns were returned to the throne century ago, and it has been continued, with necessary changes in the constitution, through the reigns of Charles x. Louis Phil- Ippe, Napoleon III, and the second and third republics. Many Ameri- cans and British subjects, and other Foreigners. have received the decora- tions of the Legion of Honor, and in France it is said by Will Payne that .scourtesy, frock coats and badges of the Legion of Honor seem to be uni versaI in higher French of1ciaIdoIn.p During the uprising of the commun- ists in 1871 the palace and offices of the Legion of Honor were burned, and among the French socialists of to-day tfs order Is denounced as snobbish and aristocratic.
