The process of reversal often begins
in this world. History is always COR

Before the judge was a prisoner,

The wide awake physician recog-
nizes that wrong thinking produces
and prolongs disease: but few of them
are ready to recognize that right
thinking will make an end of disease.
This is what a physician has to say
upon this subject: TT Is wrong think
ing that induces habits. The greater
part Of disease Is the product of bad
habits; consequently 1t Is reasonable
to infer that disease is the direct pro-
duct OF wrong thinking. But this Is
a long way from the assumption that
by thinking alone one can Danish dis
ease" Hence, you see. right thinking
does not produce good habits. and IL
IL does, good habits cannot overcome
what bad habits have wrought. How
does thIa strike you? To think this,
by the same authority. Is the worst

Gus or absolutely wrong. This med

It is Impossible TO think crooked and
act straight, or to act crooked and
think straight, Then 1t must be inn
possible II one thinks straight to go
crooked, or II one is going straight,
to think crooked. But to wander along
this logical path Is to be the crooked
est thinker OF all. You see his straight
thinking makes q very crooked line.

Enforce the Speed Law

The present speed law in effect
on Roanoke Avenue IS all right =
it is a perfectly good law in every
respect, but it must have been
framed simply as an amusement
or recreation to while away an
idle hour, as it were by the
legislative body which enacted
it. To the best of our knowledge
and belief it is obeyed by about
ten per cent of the ears that
operate in this community.
On last Sunday afternoon a
Weldon car moved majestically
down Roanoke Avenue, crowded
at that time with pedestrians,
through the town limits Of Roa-
noke Rapids at a speed conserva-
lively estimated at not less than
twenty miles an hour. Clouds
of dust were thrown up, yet
this violation of the speed limit
seemed to attract no attention
whatever This is only one in
stance. All the recklessly driven
ears do not come from Weldon
we DO not hesitate to state as our
opinion that the carefully driven
cars in this community are the
rather than the rule.
Something should be done
about it. 1t strikes us that the
fines that could be collected for
violations Of this ordinance would
more than pay for the additional
