JOY RIDERS-AND GLOOM.

Most people enjoy automobile riding, and some
automobile joy-riding. It is true that Of late the
excessive hot weather in Raleigh and throughout
the State has been rather inducive to some
people to stay up later than usual, and one of
the easiest ways to become cooled these hot
nights is to whiz through the streets in au.
tomobiles.
However, while these autoists are riding around
and thoroughly enjoying themselves, it is no rea-
son, nor consistent, that they should do it in the
noisiest possible manner. Those who are not so
fortunate as to own a machine or secure rides in
others, have no other alternative but to retire at
some reasonable hour, and probably struggle an
hour or two, to at least find that sweet sleep
which comes to the tired and weary.
For instance, imagine the one who stays at
home after supper, and tries to enjoy reading
some book or paper, between periods of tanning
and fighting away the pesky flies, finally in self
defense retires in order to try to sleep and
awake in the morning as refreshed as possible
in such weather as this; and after having rolled
and tossed for a couple Of hours, is finally for
tunate enough to fall into a light slumber: All
the worries of this earth are suddenly forgotten,
and beautiful things are beginning to shape
themselves into dreams:
When, suddenly, as if the roof OF the house is
tumbing down, by comes an automobile, filled
with j%oyriders, ~whooping and yelling, or singing
hilariously. Not only one person is probably
awakened from his light sleep, but many Of

trail along which the joyriders pass most fire.
quently. Or, as the case may be, the machine is
filled with noisy youngsters, all trying to talk
at once and be heard above the buzz, Clank and
honk-honk of the automobile. All this is bad
enough, but only think how much worse it is
when sick people are disturbed in such a man
ner, or those made invalids for life, who enjoy
none of the pleasures We get daily.

have been put down, especially parts Of Hills

ADLAI E..

Full of years and honors Adlai Ewing Steven
son was approaching the seventy-Iinth annVer-
sary Of his birth when he "iell on sleep IN Chi-
cago on Saturday night after an illness OF three
months.
Vice-President Of the United States during the
second administration OF President Cleveland, ne
has filed a large place in the public he OF the
country. A native of Kentucky he began his
legal career, in which he obtained eminence, IN
Bloomington, Illinois, holding high political othce
from time to time. Twice he was elected a mem
Der of the United States House of Representa-
tives, this in 1874 and 1876, previously having
been a master in chancery and district attorney
in Illinois, four years IN each position. Durlng
President Clevelands first term MIR. Stevenson
was First Assistant Post1nasterGenera Nlce-Pres-
ident 1893 to 1897, in 1900 he was the Democratic
no1ninee for Vice President on the ticket with
William !. Bryan. In 1908 he was the Demo
cratic nominee for Governor of Illinois, but was
defeated.
Adlai Ewing Stevenson was a Democrat of
Democrats. AS early as 1864 be was a Presiden-
tial Elector on the Democratic ticket and can
vassed Illinois for Mcclellan. AS First Assistant

the successful campaign of 1882 when he be-
came Vice President. He was ever on guard for
Democracy.
Mr.. Stevenson was a man who lived close to
the people. He was a democrat IN all things,
and his simple, unostentatious way as Vice-Presi-
dent emphasized his idea of life. He was a man
who made. warm friends and held them. His
personality was marked, his sense of humor great.
He was a home man" his domestic life being
an ideal one. His friendships did not grow cold
but were of the faithful kind, and men could
count on him. Urged by friends in 1896 to be-
come a candidate for President, and to express
his views on monetary questions, these opposing
President Clevelands views, he declined to do
SO, as he was a member Of Mr.. Cleveland's Off
Gal family.
This country loses a good man and true in the
death of Adlai E. Stevenson. 1t has received
value from his long life, which was one of service.
There is genuine grief among a great host of
people because of his death, for he was a man
whose life gripped mankind to him.

1t of course should get into politics, is there in
fact already, and all who believe in standing bv
solemn treaties should get behind the political
leader who advises such a course. The circun-

is un-American to stand by a treaty will not
fool any except those who want to be fooled.
