WILL ENFORCE AUTO LAWS.
Almost anyone who drives an au-
tomobile could be arrested under the
laws of the state of Oregon If the
officers should enforce all the sta
tutes strictly to the letter. There
are some of these laws that seem al
most unnecessary to the driver Of the
auto, but in the interests Of the public
safety they should be observed, and
the local police force announced that
they must be more carefully regarded
in the future. The regulations re-
yarding the use Of lights upon autos
is one especially intended to protect
he public, and 1t is said by the Of
fcers, who are the custodians Of the
public peace and safety, that drivers
must watch out in future or they
will land in court. The law requires
nat not only the head lights be burn
lg after dark, but also that the tail
ghts be burning when Old Sol is of
me Job. II has been a common prac-
ce with a great many auto drivers
- have no rear light, and number
cf near accidents have resulted in
r ,nsequence. SO observe your auto
yhts II you want to escape the
wrath OF outraged justice.

DAY BEFORE HIS BIRTHDAY


Friday was to have been the ninth

X street. South Side. A celebration
of this eventful day had been planned
by the parents and the happy. lads
had been looking forward with keen
anticipation to the day and the cele-
bration. Thursday, the day before
his birthday, John took his sled and
went out to coast upon the hill in
front OF his home. He was sliding
down X street between Twenty-fifth
and Twenty-sixth. A delivery car
piloted by John Hrdleka was going
west from X street. The boy did not
see the machine and the driver of
the machine did not see the youthful
coaster.
Before the lad on the sled or the driver
OF the machine realized the impending
peril the sled crashed into the truck di-
rectly between the front and rear wheels.
The Sund lad was picked up unconscious
and hurried TO the South Side hospital,

George Not Inclined
To Talk Prohibition

hbition question is not getting very far.

govcrnorship nomination. Mr. George has
replied. among other things. saying:
Since this question is essentially non
partisan and both sides in the controversy
are agreed that it will eventually be do
tormincd by the people and not by the
action OF any political party, | fail to see
the pertinency of your action.
III this question be political at all, It
Is such from an economic standpoint only
and to discuss it would have no effect
upon the ultimate result. for am con-
WINGED that the public mind is made up
on this point. and nothing either of us
might say would change their decision.
Furthermore. / have confidence that
the people of Nebras ska unaided by any
suggestion from either you or l, have
sufficient intelligence to decide what they
want and also that II either of us is
elected by the suffrage of the people to
the highest office within our gift, we
shall still be the servant OF that same
people and compelled TO act in harmony
with their opinion, even in settling this
much-mooted question of prohibition
Finally, my dear Judge. it is not what
you or / may say. now or hereafter, that
will count i'm the general roundup, but
what we do. And II you will allow me
to refer to one of the most primevaI po-
ltical uprisings in history. I would re-

Grafton at a local hospital in order
to secure relief from mastoid con-
ditions precipitated by his illness.

successful, the accumulation of poi
sons in his system from the diseases
had become so acute and serious
that Mr.. Cummings was unable to re-
cover, even with the help of an
operation. His family and friends say
that his death was not the result of
the operation, but occurred in spite
OF it, on account of the poisoned
condition of his system from the
complications with which he suf-
fered.
Mrs. Cummings survives him. He
is also survived by brother,
Charles, and a sister, Mrs. Charles
Russell, both of whom make their
homes at Kansas City. Mrs. Rus
sell is now in California and is not
expected to come here for the

claimed the Omaha man. The lat

An Executive responsible to the
whole nation, Cabinet chosen from
the ablest Americans, foreign pol
icy that stands courteously but Arm

protects the American in his lawful
rights wherever his legitimate busi-
ness may take him, q preparation for
trade competition which shall pro-
tect all groups Of American work
men, Government oversight of
business which will fearlessly elm
mate abuses, but will act on the as
sumption that the average business
man is honest, and, finally, do
mestic policy which looks to indus
trial peace and TO sound and perme-
nent prosperity based upon the de-
velopment Of American trade and
the building up Of American indus
tries.--E Extract from statement to
