Permission for coasting on streets

sideration. More stringent rules should

dangers of coasting on certain hills and
the comparative safety of others might
be impressed upon children, with ex-

we are too apt to seriously consider af-
ter accidents happen, rather than to
act upon when they may be prevented.

WILSON AND NEWSPAPERS.
IDes Moines Capital.1

We regret exceedingly 10 note the
chilling manner in which both Presi
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan are
wont to refer to the newspapers in
these trying times. III an address de-
livered at Washington few days ago,
the president is reported to have said:
IF I believed all that have read in
the newspapers / should not under
stand anybody. l have met many men
whose horns dropped away the mo-
ment was permitted To examine their
character"
And here is Secretary Bryan, in an
impetuous outburst, excIaiming:
The trouble is that the newspapers
of this country are owned by men who
can not write them. The man who has
money enough TO own newspaper
Very seldom can do his own writing:
most Cf the papers are edited by men
who do not own them, but have 10 ac-
cept the ideas OF those who do own
them 1t Will take years after l get
out of this office to catch up with
some of the newspapers that 1 want

There was never president in all

consideration than Pres ident Wilson.
Republican newspapers have WED with
each other in according him enthusiast
tic support wherever possible. and
even when compelled 10 differ with him
IN matters of governmental policy have
with an almost marvellous unanimity
hastened to acknowledge the integrity
OF his purpose.
Secretary Bryan has been given more
free advertising by the daily and week
IL press than any other man in
America-not even excepting Theodore
Roosevelt-and he has been treated
kindly when the impulse TO denounce
hrs economic theories without let or
hiudranCe was the strongest
AS the owner OF the esteemed Ne
braska CoInnloner. even though others
may do most OF the writing therefor,
SIR Bryan should be able TO take a
broader ana more charitable view OF
the journalistic vineyard with which
ne is himself more or less identified.

have had reason 10 complain If they
had neld the position they now hold
