Accidents in the Street.

Summer is a season of accidents
In the winter children usually keep
indoors. In summer they are not sat
isfied to play on the sidewalks and
yards, but delight in romping in the
streets. Boys play ball in the streets,
regardless of the danger Girls who
use roller skates are frequently seen
skating in the streets.
Safety first should be the warning
of all parel- is.
There is no excuse for this. Mem
phis is more advanced than any city of
the South when it comes to parks and
Fairgrounds. Patriotic Memphis peo-
pie have contributed literally to the
worthy work of maintaining these
Fairgrounds. They are widely scat
tered and afford every opportunity for
healthy exercise for the children.
There are tennis courts for the older
boys and girls and numerous baseball
diamonds.
Yet, with all of these advantages;
the average child loves to play in the
street. To dodge a swiftly moving
automobile seems to give them great
pleasure. Only days ago an auto
mobile moving rapidly on Madison
Avenue, near Cooper Street ran over
a small boy who was tossing a ball to
companion player. Fortunately he
was not injured, but it was not due to-
any effort on his part to protect him
self. The driver of the car was not
to blame, for had the boy remained
still he would have escaped. He dodg-
ed, naturally, and in the wrong di-
rection. The accident was unavoid-
able. Had the boy played ball in the
open 'ot across the street there would
have been no accident. "fV "a
Parents are to blame for this. They
too frequently send their children, out
to play and do not know where they
so or what they do until they return
home at mealtimes. In the school
rooms during the winter the youngster
is busily occupied. In the vacation
season of summer he is constantly in
danger.
Ceaselessly and "ealously the city
authorities and privately organized
bodies are engaged in studying the
welfare of the child. Let the parents
come to the rescue and instruct their
children not to play in the streets

is the individual who has grasped this
truth and made it part Of his phiios-

Staid old Mississippi, which is
"agin" female suffrage tooth and toe
nail, will let down the bars at Wood
men Springs, July 20, at a political
rally, when Mrs. Margaret Thompson
will meet Miss Plunkett in joint de-
bate as candidates for State Librarian.
While this isn't exactly women voting,
but it is a great concession, especial
ly in conservative Mississippi
But to hear joint debate between
two women is we'll worth hearing, and
without Doubt a huge crowd will be
present at Woodmen Springs July %.
To use baseball term, there is go
ing to be some "pep" in that debate.
Mrs. Thompson is one of the leading
suffragists in the State and besides,
her hair is that color which is be-
lieved to accompany a mercurial tenn
permanent
Her opponent, Miss Plunkett, has
held the Office Of Librarian for many
years, and experts assert that she is
among the shrewdest politicians that
foregather at the Capital. Anyway,
she figured in a recent celebrated case
in this State, proved herself more than
a match for SEINE Of the lawyers not
ed for their skill in badgering wit
nesses on cross-examination.
So this joint debate promises to be
a case in which Greek meets Creek

The Need Of a County Fair.

One Of the greatest weaknesses Of
country life heretofore has been the
absence Of public recognition Of
worthy effort. The farmer or stock
man or school teacher might set a
worthy example for his fellows, but
public notice would not be directed to
it nor public recognition given as an
incentive for other like endeavors.
Anything that brings our country peo-
pie together does good, and If il brings
them together for the purpose Of re-
eOgnizing and honoring worthy effort,
it IS doubly useful.
Tbs is why the county school COM
meneement is worth so much. And this
is why every coanty should have a
county fair. With a county com
nencement in the spring and a cOun-
ty fair in the. fan. It vii be hard to
Keen any county from catching the

Legislative Notes.

The arm0ry bill which went to the

cause the governor didn t like its cum
limited = features is in q fair way to
be killed III the house. 1t is said by
those who have examined 1t closely
that the bill is either loosely drawn or
contains what looks like ''joker. -
The amendment would allow So, 900 to
be contracted on one armory, which is
not the spirit of the bill, as has been
generally understood. The bin went
through without debate or apparently
much consideration and ought to be
