MOTORISTS. SLOW UP!

The officers Of Abilene are mighty
generous In their regulation OF
motor car and motorcycle driving
too generous, for some day there
may be an accident that all will de-
plore. The streets of the business
section of Abilene are cut into short
blocks; they are none too wide for
the great amount of traffic. The
county now has something like 1000
cars; Abilene has over 200. Many
women and girls are driving; many
new owners are driving. The speed
limit in the business section is 10
miles an hour and probably every
car owner has exceeded 1t at times
and many do all the time. Yet it is
not too slow for safety.
Slow the pace. When on the coun-
try road with clear way you can
injure no one but yourself and pas
sengers If an accident happens, but
when you come to the business sec
ton slow down. In the residence sec
ton be careful-the Riddles are
playing on the pavements.
Keep far to the right and turn
wide corners. Don't cut close to the
left hand side-it may save smash
ing several hundred dollars out Of
your car and may prevent a fatal
accident.
From the Eicholtz alley on the
west to the postoffice on the east,
from Fourth street on the north to
First street on the south, go slow,
very slow and be safe.
The officers ought to enforce the
speed limit in town regardless OF
persons for 1t means safety. A few
fines would make the drivers more
careful. Abilene has been more for
tunate han most towns in this &C
cident 'ecord but as cars increase
In number the danger increases.
Slow the pace. Be careful. Safety
first!

We notice that Professor Yoder
of Enterprise has bought a motor
car. If the school teachers are to
use cars there is scarcely anybody
left who is out of it. The farmers
own them by the thousand, editors
got in the game early, doctors all
use them as part Of their bust
ness, ministers are driving them,
bankers and lawyers of course have
them. With the school teachers in
the list it is about unanimous so
far as the professions are concerned
and at the rate prices are coming
down even the laboring man will
soon have his motor for a pleasure
carriage.
Here is some good sense by Judge
c. A. Smart of Ottawa: 'If l had a
boy and found him to be exposed to
that malignant malady, idleness. l
would prescribe for him work, and
IL the malady continued after a
short treatment, would prescribe
more work. 1t is not always the
boys fault that he does not work.
Sometimes the parents do not try
to develop the boy. Every boy has a
right to mother love plus some good
hard common sense. l know a boy
whose mother placed him on a pill
low when he was born and she has
never rolled him off. He is 80 years
old, hasn't a bad habit in the world,
but he was never taught to work.
That's mother devotion minus good
Judgment" Judge Smart has raised
several handsome and capable girls
and 1t is evident that he would
have Just as good success with sons
10 with daughters.

Foss Comes Back

Boston, April 20.-Close friends
of Eugene N. Foss said today that
unless he changed his mind in the
next thirty days the three times
governor of Massachusetts would be
a candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor in the
forthcoming primary.
They said he would make a fight
in the primaries for a straight out
national prohibition plank in the
next Republican platform, equal
suffrage, a powerful navy and an
adequate army and a progressive
Republican leadership in state and
nation" Mr.. Foss was last elected
governor by the Democrats, having
left the Republican party.

GOOD OLD SUMMER TIME
Tramps Again Begin to Take the
Freight Trains

Atchison, April 20.-Seventy-two
tramps who took possession of part
of a Missouri Pacific freight train
out of Kansas City, and rode as
far as Atchison, were induced to
get off in Atchison by Sheriff
TrimbIe and police officers. The
men made no disturbance, and no
arrests were made. The tramps
marched on up the tracks on the
right of way to Omaha, only stop
ping to get a drink of water. They
marched in military formation, and
apparently under the command of
three of their number.
But they did not march far. On
the Shannon hill west of Atchison
they boarded the same freight train
and were riding boldly in sight of
the train crew when the train pass
ed through Shannon. The men said
they were on their way to Omaha
to get work.

CRAZED MAN GIVES SHERIFF
CHASE ACROSS THIS COUNTY

Charles Sandberg, Saline coun-
ty man who escaped from the state
hospital at Topeka six months ago,
was captured Sunday at Gypsum
City by Sheriff Anderson of Saline
county. Sandberg is insane. After
his escape from the institution at
Topeka he returned to Salina and
lived with a brother, until his sud-.
den disappearance was reported.
Last Saturday Sheriff Anderson re-
ceived word that Sandberg was seen
near New Cambria. The sheriff gave
chase in an automobile and follow
ed Sandberg to the east part of
Dickinson county, where the hunted
man hid in underbrush and escaped
detection. A general call was sent
out and on Sunday Sandberg was

votes and everywhere the Republi-
cans have gained. The president
had received assurance from his
party leaders in every city where
an election was held that Democra-
tic victory was assured. Even now
Mr.. Wilson's political advisers as
sure him that the results are not
significant Of general political SEN
timent but were the product of
purely local conditions. The Repub-
licans, however, are convinced that
such victories as electing Repub-
lican mayor of Chicago by plural
fly of 100000, and the entire Re-
publican ticket in st. Louis by a
of over $4,000 constitute
merely a forerunner of a Republican
next year.

The rehearsals for the big musi-
cal comedy, "A Day at Coney Isle, .

8 o'clock for both chorus and cast.
The play will be given May 3 and

garten work next fall, the expenses
for this year must be met by the
kindergarten association, and the
receipts Of the coming play will go

Mrs. Carolyn staley who staged
the Dickinson County Fair" last
year, will arrive in the city to meet
the committees Monday and the
work will be started at lively rate.

characters win be used in chorus

be sufficient to accommodate the
crowds.

THE RATE HEARING

The rate hearing at Topeka has
demonstrated that the utilities COM
mission intends to get at the bot
tom Of things before making a rul-
ing. Senator Bristow has been es-
pecially we'll qualified to investi-
gate and he has brought out some
facts that ought to have a bearing
on the matter. For instance, 1t ap-
pears from the printed reports that
the railroads in making their show
ing Of the receipts for passenger
fares for Kansas were not giving the
state credit on any part of inter-
state traffic. II a passenger bought
ticket from Abilene to Kansas City
Mo-, for 1881, none Of this would
be credited to the Kansas receipts
because one mile Of It was in Mis-
souri,. While 1929 was Kansas busl-
ness and 2 cents Missouri business
this state did not get credit. Mr..
Bristow very properly argued that
the Kansas business should be cred
tied to this state. 1t seems only COM
mon sense. II the railroads get
raise in passenger fares 1t must be
on a showing of actual loss and the
immense business to Kansas City
cannot be cut out simply because
the station is one mile over the state
line.

Declare

New York. April 20.-At a din
ner here, welcoming them home
from their recent mission in japan
as representatives OF the Federal
Council OF the Churches OF Christ
the unjust suspicious entertained
in America, DR.. Smaller Mathews of
the University of Chicago and DR..
Sidney L. Gulick expressed the me-
cessity In this country of better
understanding of the japanese in
order to allay what they describe as
for the motives Of Japan.
The situation as regards China
furnishes supreme opportunity for
the United States and Japan to
show the meaning not only of their
friendship for each other. but for
China as we'll, Doctor Mathews de-
elared. 1t is difficult, at present, he
said, to hold an unqualified convic-
ton that Japan's plans toward
China are magnanimously in the in
terests of China, and herein "the
United States and Japan have an
opportunity to demonstrate the
power Of diplomacy based upon the
giving of Justice"
Doctor Mathews. discussing the
demands made upon China by jap
an, said IL Japan's only purpose was
to build up an Asiatic Monroe Doc
trine, the American people can
hardly fail to sympathize with her,
particularly as we recall her need
for territory in which to expand"
