the most popular attachments for auto
mobiles has been invented by Clarence
Christen of this city and Walter Mott,

Safety First Light" and is something
entirely new in the automobile world.

was down from Cresco, Monday, and
was demonstrating the lights on his car
to . number of our people.
The lights are similar to any other
automobile lights. but are 80 arranged

any direction the lights turn with the
front wheels and show the roadway or
ground in q perfect manner. 1t works

Secretary Bryan Resigns.

The resignation on Friday of Sec
retary of State Bryan came as dis
tinct surprise to all. 1t resulted from q
difference of opinion between MIR.
Bryan and President Wilson governing
the special note to be transmitted to
Germany concerning the Lusitania in
cident.
Mr.. Bryan in his resignation gave as
his reason that President Wilson had
prepared for transmission to Germany
a note in which he could not conscien-
tiously join, as he deemed it a violation
of his obligation to his country and un-
fair to the cause nearest his heart, the
prevention of war. MIR. Bryan voiced
his satisfaction with the pleasant rela-
tions existing between himself and the
president, and expressed his good
wishes for the success of the admins
tration.
The President, in accepting Mr..
Bryan's resignation, stated that in
practically every matter of public
policy they had agreed, that Mr..
Bryan's support of the administration
had been always loyal, and that now
they were not separated in the object
to be attained, but only in the method
of seeking it.
No one questions the sincerity of
either Mr.. Bryan or President Wilson,
but in this instance two men of intel
lect and devotion to duty have differed
on matters of public policy, and Mr..
Bryan has wisely concluded to resign
rather than do what his conscience
forbade him or to embarass the admin
istration by remaining where his views
could not accord with those who are in
charge of the affairs of the nation.

Electric Shock Fatal to Boy.

Allen Wines, the l3 year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Justin Wines, met an ac-
cidental death Sunday afternoon by
coming into contact with the powerful
electric current which supplies Waukon
from the plant at the power dam. He
caused the fatality himself by securing
q piece of wire and touching a feed
wire at the transformer station at the
west edge of town. The building con-
tanning the electrical apparatus burned
down few weeks ago and pending the
the erection of q new structure two
transformers for reducing the voltage
coming into town were set up nearby

The Wines boy and companion,
Robert Estep, were on their way for a
stroll in the country. As they passed
the apparatus the former said he pro-
posed getting shock. His compan-
ion warned him away and read the dan
ger sign TO him. But the other per-
sisted and whitfield off. the insulation

ting he touched feed wire and was
instantly knocked down. Death was
not instantantaneous, for he sprang to
his feet and screamed to his companion
that he was dying, then staggered
across the road and fell lifeless. The
commotion attracted the attention of AL
Simon, nearby, who hurried to the
scene and with several others carried
the limp form to the Wines home.
