AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION.

A number of states now have laws
requiring the drivers of vehicles of all
kinds (however propelled) to display
lights after dark. Wagons and car
riages must show lights both in front
and in the back. An ordinance to this
effect should be speedily passed by
the council of Moscow. 1t is matter
for wonder that a terrible accident
streets, and our good fortune in escap-
ing such catastrophe up to this time
is due not to any sensible precautions
we have taken to avert it but to the
sort of FOOLS luck that sometimes pur-
sues the most unworthy. Our streets
in general are very poorly lighted.
And in the blackness of night an I'M
lighted vehicle is a distinct menace to
pedestrians and to those who are rid
ing in other conveyances
In this connection it should be mem
toned that the authorities should see
to it that the common rules of the
road are more closely observed by
those who drive. Many irresponsible
drivers fail to turn to the right in
meeting an approaching vehicle; many
others in attempting to pass a vehicle
going in the same direction as their
own fail to pass it on the right; many
turn corners too sharply and swing
in toward the wrong curb.
We observe daily that the horses
on delivery wagons are driven through
alleys at top speed and constantly
endanger the lives of pedestrians who,
unable to see the approaching wagon
around the corner of a building, are
often forced to pull up short, narrow
ly avoiding escaping being knocked
over by a fast trotting horse. The
city police might be reminded that it
is their duty to safeguard those on
foot and to arrest any who are guilty
of violations of the traffic laws

A Go-TO-CHURCH SUNDAY.

The Go-to-Church Sunday which
has been suggested for Moscow
might be made a memorable and
popular occasion if the services
were held in the city park. To breathe
the spicy and cheerful air of the out
door world and to observe with CRATE
full and reverent eyes the manifold
wonders of the resurrection of nature
in flowers, grass, and trees would of
themselves induce a mood of worship
and would invest services conducted
amid such appropriate and inspiring
surroundings with a sweet and beauti-
full solemnity. There could be no lack
of fitness in the substitution of a
grassy knoll for a pulpit; and the
decorous assembling there of hun
dreds of persons to lift their voices
in sacred song and praise would be
for the day worthy dedication.

FEARING THE WORST.

The streams of water now being
used to wash off the pavement are eX-
posing innumerable depressions and
cracks in the urface. That the COM
pany who furnished it have not much
confidence in their own top dressing is
shown by the fact that they are wash
ing it off as fast as they can. 1t is
to be hoped that the serious defects
of the pavement are confined to the
surface and that the lower layers will
not prove so universally unsatisfac-
tory and so little able to endure the
test of a few short months.

is the original, more sensible. and
more economical form, but its use by
many persons has been abandoned
for the entirely improper "preventa-
tive" The syllable ia" is superfluous
and was perhaps first inserted through
ignorance or, possibly, a mistaken
idea of superior elegance. The diction
aries, since they record but do not de-
termine usage, will, of course, print
the word; but its employment can not
be recommended to those who feel
any concern for the purity of the Ian
guage.

WASHINGTON, May '5.-Drawings

years been accused of introducing into

DIVISION OF LABOR.

The proper division of labor is an
important economic problem. Some
persons solve it to the complete sat

the daily paper the job of furnishing
them and their enterprises with I'M
limited free publicity and by giving
to some other print shop the job of
getting out the only printed matter for
which they spend nickel.

THE CLAFLIN FAILURE.
COLORADO Springs Gazette. }

Announcement of the $35, 100000
failure of the Fl. B. Claflin company
of New York puts dampener on
the presidents speech predicting a
big business boom. Mr.. Wilson has
been somewhat busy of late explain
ing the reasons for the prevalent
business depression. He attributes 1t
to psychological causes" and to at
tacks made on business. He thinks
his antitrust program embracing
three bills soon to be pushed through
congress will prove panacea and
prosperity will again prevail.
Perhaps 1t will, though whether II
will come as a consequence OF the
antitrust measures is open to ques-
tion. The condition which Just now
promises most for the restoration of
prosperity is the bountiful harvest.
The doctors at Washington may or
may not be able to. prescribe an ef-
fective remedy for the country's busi-
ness ills, but wheat crop such as
is now being harvested is always a
restorative, especially when supple
mented by large yields of other farm
products.
or course, If normal conditions are
restored, Mr.. Wilson's administration
will promptly claim the credit. That

political game. But it is noteworthy
that thus far the administration has
accomplished little or nothing in this
direction. The tariff bill is an i'm
provement over its predecessor, and
the currency bill is admitted even
by its opponents to be $50 per cent
good" But although both are now
in effect there has been no noticeable
recovery from the business depress-
ion which began to affect the coun-
try soon after the advent of the new
administration.
To just what extent these cond1-
tions are responsible for the Claflin
failure would be hard to say. Press
reports say that over-eXtended credit
caused the crash, the worst of its
kind in the history of the country
In every case of the kind there are
causes inseparable from the conduct
of the concern itself, and only re-
motely related, if at all, to general
business conditions throughout the
country. This was especially true of
the recent Siegel failure in New
York. Such an occurrence is deplor-
able, but 1t is not necessarily an in
