SAFETY IN THE STREETS.

In spite of all that is said about
careful driving of automobiles, every
few days one reads of children, and
sometimes older people, who are run
over in the streets. In large cities
heavy truck wagons are also cause
of much fatal injury.
Various agencies are at work to
compel drivers to maintain due vigi-
lance. But laws and regulations are
difficult to enforce. There are all
kinds of human tyes at the steering
wheel. Officers of the law do not
always want to see too much.
Tht street is not the safe place it
used to be. Before motors became
numerous the public highway was a
kind of common playground. Driv-
ers of horses waited tolerantly while
the kidlets reluctantly suspended
their baseball game.
The hoofs of an approaching horse
gave warning long before carriage
was near. Now the motor slips up
from behind with swift and deadly
speed. While you are looking to the
right the machine has lodged out
from some side street on the left.
Every child ought to be carefully
warned of the dangers of the street
On streets where there is any consid
cradle traffic he should never cross
without looking both ways.
Many accidents could be saved i
people were not in such a hurry
Some persons seem to dislike to show
, reasonable caution. 1t takes but
few seconds for motor to pass, Will,
a broken leg would mean a month OIL
your back.
The manenr in which some motor
lists expect every one to make wa!
for them is irritating. Still human
nature is at it is. One must adap
oneself to modern conditions.
II the pedestrian gets too wrath,
over the arrogance of his automobil
ing friends he may very REASONABLY
reflect that 1t is much easier for hin
to stop than it is to bring a heav,
machine to a standstill. That, how
ever, does not excuse the motorists
who should never run at a spee'
which he cannot check in time to pre-
vent injury.

Royalty Makes
Strange BedfelOws

Unless he has been removed quiet
ly from his position in the last few
days, a German prince will rule the
fleets of England sent against the
German navy.
And an English prince, who went
to school at Eton, on whose play
fields Wellington said English bat
ties were won, will lead a German
army against his English kin
And in the palace of Peterhof,
German princess wearing a Russian
crown may live to hear the guns of
an army led by her own brother
laundering under her windows.
During the last century the nations
of Europe have exchanged many
princes and princesses in matrimony
to cement offensive and defensive al
| liances. Now the whole fabric of Sc
curity built on the sacrifice of royal
hearts has tumbled down. In Lon
don, Berlin, Vienna and St. Peters
burg are scores of royal applicants
dividing between the land of their
birth and the land of their adoption
their prayers to the god of battles.
In the great and stunning shock of
the war all little shocks are merged
and lost. This revelation of the film
siness of matrimonial bonds between
the reigning houses of great nations
is only little shock. But in England
the situation provoked is the most
curious.
Prince Louis of Battenberg is a
full admiral of the British navy and
first sea lord of the admiralty, one
of the little group Of men in whose
hands repose the conduct and destiny
of England's fleets in war. And
Prince Louis is a German born and
German bred. His wife is German
also, sister of the Grand Duke of
Hesse, who holds a command as gen.
eral in the Germany army and would
lead German troops against his sis
ter's England
And still more curiously entan-
Cling, Prince Louis of Battenberg,
England's first sea lord, is brother
in-law of Prince Henry of Prussia,
the ranking officer of the German
navy, and the man who naturally
would lead it into battle against the
English.
The Duchess of Connaught and the
Duchess OF Albany, daughter-in-law
of the late Queen Victoria and sisters
of King Edward, are German prin-
cesses, German born and German
: bred. And Prince Christian OF
. Schleswig Holstein, son-in-law Of
Queen Victoria, and now a natural
lied Englishman and an English gen
, eral, who may lead an army corps
into Belgium, was German until he
married an English princess.
In Germany the widowed Duchess
, of Saxe-C e-Coburg-Gotha, who makes
r her headquarters at Coburg, is ;
= Russian through and through. She
, is the only daughter of Car Alexan
der II, while the similarly widowed
l Grand Duchess Anastasia Of Mecklen
: burg-Schwerin, mother of the Ger
= man crown prince, is daughter o
D the late Grand Duke Michael Michael
aivitch of Russia.
8 The reigning duke of Saxe-Coburg
. Gotha, sovereign of one of the Ger
man Independent states forming {
s part of the German empire, is gen
: eral of the German army. Yet h
e passed the first sixteen years of hi
v life as a prince of the reigning hous'

x mother, Queen Victoria, and was

HOW ABOUT SPO PEGS LOST
LIFE?

Spo Pee, the Indian, was impris-
oned for "a years. He was pardoned
as an act of grace, by the president
of the United States.
But what shall we do about this
mans lost life? For as a matter of
fact we put Spo Pee into prison and
then forgot him. He was really i'm
prisoned because he was poor and
friendless. Had a man of standing
and influence killed a man belonging
to a poor and outcast race or class
under the same circumstances he
would not have been convicted, and
IL convicted he would have been par
doned long ago-as Charles w. Morse
was pardoned.
What right have we to put people
in prison and forget them?
A South Dakota town marshal a
few years ago put a drunken tramp
into town caboose, locke dthe door
and forgot all about him. There
came blizzard, the poor fellow was
frozen-I believe he lost his feet and
hands, and was so weakened that he
died.
Even though the man was an out
cast, the people were shocked at the
cruel neglect with it's tragic conse-
quences. When we forget man for
ever, when we allow him to spend all
the remainder of his life in the spir-
itual cold and darkness of the living
death of a prison, there is no public
outcry, because nobody knows.
How many Spo Pees are there in
our prisons?
Ought there not to be some agency
for seeking them out and doing them
| justice?
Spo Pee may have been guilty, but
men are frequently liberated from our
prisons because it has been discov'
cred they are innocent of the crimes
for which they have been convicted
They are then "pardoned." Pardoned
for what? Rather ought the govern
ment which has wronged them seek
pardon of the wronged. But we dc
nothing for such victims of our in
stitutions save to liberate them into
world for the battles of which they
are untitled. We turn out these pool
, frozen souls, robbed of hands ant
, feet, withour kind permission tC
work.
Satan must bow his head in humil
, ity when he notes how superior il
cruelty to his dewltry are the naked
stupidities of man.
In really civilized nations such mel
are remunerated, so far as remunera
f ton can be given, for the wrong
done them; but in our unfair land w
Y pardon" an innocent man for tn
a wrongs we have done him, and max
e him no amends.
! We should reinstate the case i
court and allow the tribunal whicI
= condemned him to record the fact o
Y its shame, in lieu of him.
\ We should then pay him for hi
{ lost time, and if he has been unfitte
for labor by our injustice, we shoul
v pension him. In short, we should tr
: to do him justice.
v If we try, we may get some goo
n out of the case of poor old Spo Pee

We happened into home the other
night, and over the parlor door saw
the legend worked in letters of red,
What Is Home Without Mother?"
Across the room was another brief

the matter with God Bless Our
Dad? He gets up early, lights the
fire, boils an egg and wipes the dew
off the lawn with his boots white
many mother is sleeping. He makes
the weekly hand-out to the butcher,
the milkman and the baker, and his
little pile is badly diminished before
he has been home an hour.

The Claflin failure opened the eyes
OF a lot Of country banks that had

money locally, on the theory that
they wanted liquid assets. The thir-

Young men, and often young wom-
en-, as we'll as older persons, perform
acts which become legitimate items
for publication and then rush to the
newspaper office and beg the editor
not to notice their escapades, The
next day they condemn the same pa
per for not having published another
party doing the same thing they were
guilty Of, forgetting apparently their
late visit to the printing office.

"Is your father rich?" someone
asked five-year-old girl and the lit
tie one replied confidentially: "Why,
of course! He's got me-" And she
was right, too. for the father of a

is richer than some millionaires
whose money cannot buy them the
love of single heart

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
To Boom Your Town.

To Boom Your Town.
Talk about it.
Write about it.
Elect good men to office.
Be friendly to everybody.
Keep your sidewalks in good repair.
If a poor man starts a project, help
him.
If rich man starts a project, en-
courage him.
Sell all you can and buy all you
can at home.
Don't talk the town down to
strangers.
If you are rich, invest in some
thing; employ somebody.
If project to improve the town
comes up, don't hoot-investigate.
Don't let your personal antipathies
get away with your business judg-
ment.
Follow the men who have the vim
and energy to go ahead-and "saw
wood"
Be courteous to strangers who
come among you so they will go away
with good impressions.
If you don't like your town we'll
enough to speak well of it, get out
of it and make room for better men.
Always cheer on the man who goes
for improvements. Your portion OF
the cost will be nothing but that
which is right.
Do not kick at any proposed i'm
provements because they are not at
your door, or for fear that your tax
will be raised fifty cents.
Don't be afraid to stick your hand
down in your pocket for money to
help a public enterprise. You owe
something to the community for being
so kind as to patronize you.
Don't! Don't!! Don't!!! Fol
heavens sake don't think your ideas
are the only correct ones as to what
improvements are needed and how
they should be obtained. We hearC
an old man say once that his name
was written down on every paper thai
came around with the word temper
ance" on it. Let your name be writ
ten donw to every paper that ha
improvement on it.

Since July money orders may be
cashed at any office regardless of
what office drawn on, but must be
presented within thirty days. A con-
templated change is in new tele-
phone postal card, which has your
telephone number on and the post
master calls you up and tells You of
the contents and it is then delivered
in the regular way. 1t is an entering
wedge for the postal telegraph.

Why is it, it is often asked, that
people in small towns can find no
better business than prying into other
peoples business and then eXaggerat-
ing the truth in regard to the same?
People who pretend to be Christians,
who attend church regularly, who in
the sight of their neighbors are gen.
erous and charitable, yet who, with
out the slightest provocation, pick up
some little mistake, or more, often,
at nothing, will so scandalize one as
to ruin his or her reputation for life.

No, the deadest man on earth is
not numbered in Father Times har-
vest. You cannot find his tombstone
in the cemetery, neither does mossy
mound hark his lowly bed. His last
resting place was on cracker box
in the grovery, and there he will re-
main dead to everything good, dead
to all activity, dead to friendship and
dead to his home ties until Gabriel
shall awaken him to more active
life in future world.
