Looking Ahead.

In little things we must look ahead
and think OF the future. Perhaps the
little deed Of kindness. the loving word.
smile, or the wrong act, idle word or an
cry frown, may not affect our lives nor
the lives of anyone else today. Let us
not think OF the present, but looking in
to the hereafter, see what the influnce
will be there.
1t is more subtitle and, so to speak,
higher affairs than these that the wis
dom OF looking ahead asserts itself.
When Esau, coming in weary and
spent from the hunting field, sold to the
crafty Jacob for mess of pottage the
oirthright which belonged to the elder
brother, he simply did what hosts of
men have been doing ever since. He
did not look ahea I, but acted on the i'm
pulse of the moment. For temporary
pleasure, an apparent present advantage
he bartered his heaven bestowed right to
dignity, consideration and manhood.
And yet today, many of us, to crafty
ourselves for the present, indulge in
some pleasure which perhaps may be
our ruin. 1t is done without thought
for the future.
In Esau was exemplified the fatal
weakness which is the besetting danger
of strength. Not one of us who forgets
TO look ahead when accepting some COM
promise with conscience or venturing
into some doubtful path is the least no.
bier or wiser than Esau.
Let US look even farther, yea, beyond
this transient life to the eternity beyond
and, looking above in thoughtfulness
and prayer, prepare ourselves for
The beautiful home over there
Where flowers eternal bloom,
And loved ones watching land so fair
For others to join them soon.

Much Needed Law.

One of the most important measures
that should be passed by the Kentucky
Legislature is corrupt practice act. We
have had many evidences in recent years
of the necessity of such a law. Judge
Benton, at Winchester, was handicap
ped in the prosecution of bribery in
elections by our very deficient laws on
this subject. At Bowling Green and at
other places attempts have been made
by the courts to stop bribery in cleo
lions. In nearly every contested cleo
tion case during the past year, including
those for judicial offices. corruption was
shown. The use of money in elections
has grown to such an alarming proper
ton that in some sections of the State
men of means have been bankrupted in
running for Office by the large sums of
money they have been forced to spend to
secure office.
Under the laws of Kentucky man
can be convicted of murder or house
breaking. or any other felony, on the
testimony of one witness, while for bri-
berry it requires two witnesses. If one
witness can convict man of murder,
certainly one witness should be suffi-
cient to convict of bribery.
The corrupt practice act should make
the punishment for buying votes very
much greater than for selling votes. a
fine of S25 should be the limit for selling,
while the fine for buying should be $500
and Jail sentence.
Another provision which would aid in
bringing about clean elections would be-
a provision which would prevent any
citizen from qualifying for office when
it is shown that he either directly or in-
directly used money to secure the Of
fee.
A stringent corrupt practice act would
be one of the best and most useful laws
that the Kentucky Legislature could
pass when its meets in its regular SEES
sion. -Elizabethtow News.

Tears.

If every wish were granted,
If every hope came true,

A lovely blossom grew;
If every day were sunny,
And every one were wise,
There'd be no sweet in honey,
There'd be no joys to prize.
Ii we knew that tomorrow
Would be just like today,
With not one touch of sorrow,
No care TO spoil the play;
No doubt and no misgiving,
No hearl-acheS and no fears,
Then vain were all our living
We'd crave the Joy of tears.
We'd sigh for secret sorrow,
We'd long TO feel the rain,
And we should yearn to borrow
The blessedness of pain.

That came and quickly fed
Adown the years we treasure,
The tears that we have shed.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES
FOR TAXICAB SERVICE
Predicted that Gas Driven Cabs Will
Find Rival in Field Very

So far there has been no great develop
ment in the use of electric vehicles for
taxicab service in this country. but there
are substantial reasons to believe that
this field will be successfully invaded by
the electric vehicle in the early future.
1t is of interest to know that in Berlin
there are more than 60O electric taxicabs
as compared with 100 gas-driven cabs
and 800 horse-driven cabs.
The electric cabs are regarded with
favor by the municipal authorities owing
to their speed. convenience, and clean
illness. They can make twenty-five miles
an hour The rumor to the effect that
Berlin would not license any more gaso-
line cabs led to an inquiry by the execu-
tive secretary OF the Electric Vehicle As
ISOLATION Of America, and the director of
police In Berlin wrote A. Jackson Mar
shall under date of July Is, as follows:
In reply to your inquiry Of June y
beg to inform you that it is not intended
here to license electric cabs exclusively
in the future. However. the number of
gasoline driven cabs has been limited,
but within this limit gas-driven cars may
be set into operation. This ordinance in
the first place has not been promoted ex-
clusively from considerations of public
health. 1t will eventually help the intro
duction of electric cabs and at the same
time prevent the introduction into pub
lie circulation of a number of gasoline
driven cabs in excess of public neces-
sity."
To some people such extensive use of
electric vehicles for taxicab service will
come as surprise, because in this coun-
try the gasoline propelled vehicle in this
class of service is general.
However. the experience Of European
cities in the successful operation of cleo
trio taxicabs is appreciated. and before
long the electric taxicab with all of its
comfort, and economy will
be a familiar sight in the cities OF this
country.
