the affair was outside of its jurisdiction
and refused to take charge. Next the
sheriff of the county was summoned, but
he said that all OF his men were busy in
court and could not be spared for service
in that case So the two men slept in
the field. Eventually their car was right
ed and hauled back into the road where
upon the men started to drive away.
They had gone but short distance when
their machine crashed into a fence near
bridge and was somewhat damaged,
Again was the mix-up Strengthened out
and the men motored away in the gen
eral direction of Lewiston. The account
of the proceedings does not tell how
many more times they went off the roads
or how many times they collided with
fences or bridges in their continued jour
ney. Nor was it chronicled whether the
two men reached Lewiston.
However. it is certain that someone
was woefully recreant to his duty in fail
ing to see to it that the automo bile was
taken away from the men until such
time as one of them was in condition to
drive it without placing unwarranted
hazards in the way of other people who
were using the public highway and who
had a right to demand that irresponsible
motorists back of an automobile wheel
be kept off the road. 1t has been said
with absolute reason that ne person in
such condition as the two men in ques
ton are reported to have been should be
allowed to handle an automobiles opera
ton. The chances for serious accident to
someone else are too numerous altogeth-
er. We think that such a disgraceful
situation should not have been allowed
to continue.

HUGHES SELF. RESTRAINT.

When public speaker is able to smile
as he is interrupted by hostile persons in
the crowd, when he is still able to smile
at constant heckling by those hostile per-
sons, when he manages to keep along
with the trend of his discourse in per-
feet good nature under personal insults,
that public speaker is of rare tempera
ment. Such man is Charles Evans
Hughes. In Cleveland last Tuesday
night, Hughes ran ipto just such condi-
tions. Persons who had not the courage
to face the speaker but who skulked on
the edge Of the crowd took the occasion
TO interrupt Hughes with diverting
questions, then with more pointed refer
ence and, finally, with insulting personal
illusions. Throughout the TRADE Hughes
maintained his equanimity, smiling on
the interrupters and answering them in
friendly tone when the situation war
ranted; and at the end of his address
when he might have been expected to be
under severe mental strain because of
the interference Of his political opponents
he appeared to be but little disturbed by
the occurrence. A man who is able to 90
through that experience and still main
tain his good nature Is we repeat, pos
sessed Of rare temperament. Most men
would have flown into a rage over the
continued disturbance of the address
Hughes good nature must have had
tendency to dissrm his heeklers in large
measure, if not actually to drive them
further into skulking retirement He
showed the stuff of which great men are
made.

NORWICH UNIVERSITY.
Football Prospects are Considered En-
couraging.

Prospects for a good foot ball team at
Norwich university are very good this
year. Although some good men were
lost by graduation there are several
good men still remaining from last year 5
team. and there is an especially good
showing from the freshman class. For
a coach Norwich has Dad" White OF
Waltham, Mass. Coach White gradu
ated from Waltham high school in 1905.
He spent three years at the University OF
Vermont and one at Fordham. While
in college he starred as a player. Hardly
a game was played where The papers
did not speak OF his great work While
in Fordham he coached the preparatory
team of that college. In 1911 he coached
at Rutgers. in 1912 at Tilton seminary
in 1913 and 1914 at Chelsea, Mass, high
school, and in 1915 with Harry A. Dame
at Waltham, Mass. 1t is reported that
his coaching is as good as his playing.
Norwichs first game is with Trinity at
Hartford, Conn, to-day. Trinity has been
practicing for nearly a month, while
Norwich has been out less than two
weeks. Nevertheless, the Vermont boys
intend to give good account of them
selves. The team left for Hartford Fri
day noon. The entire cadet corps marched
to the depot to give them good send
of.
Several new students have been regis
tered at the university this week, and
a few more are expected. During the
past two weeks the freshmen have been
rounding into shape and arc now able to
60 through the more simple drill move
ments with some show OF precision. Fri
day afternoon arms and equipment were
drawn, and the rocks are hard at work

Among other information picked up by
National Guard soldiers of the country
in scattered instances is the fact that
public criticism of superior officers is not
permitted For instance, the Massaehu-
sets private who wrote letters back to
his home paper, not only finding fault
with his superior officers but bringing
serious accusation against them as well,
is now sentenced to spend six months in
the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth.
The sentence probably would not have
been so severe had not the private ad-
hered to his statements and his charges
when first hauled over the Goals for his
indiscretion. If he had had any Just
complaint to make it would have been
better for him to set the matter before
the proper military authorities and not
to parade the alleged facts before the
public by means OF newspapers. No
doubt the matter would have been fairly
handled by the proper military authori-
ties.

MEXICO OWNS MINES.
Private Ownership Merely Species of
Rent

Ell Paso, Texas, Sept. 30.-"Private
ownership of mineral property in Mexico
is. in fact. nothing more than a species
of rent of the sub soil, for which the
titleholder has to pay the nation, the
true proprietor of the sub-soil
This extract from a public statement
by Mexico's secretary of finance, received
here yesterday by the Mexican consulate,
presents the official attitude of the Car
rama government toward owners OF Mex.
lean mines whether Mexicans or foreign
ers. The statement is issued in defense
of Carranzas degree of May /, OF this
year which under penalty of confisca-
ton. lays imports and working condi-
tions on the mines that have caused Tor
eign owners to make strong representa-
tons to their home governments. These
complaints have been carried to Atlantic
City, where the joint commission is sit
ting. The statement makes clear that
the Carranza government viii not con-
slider special pleas to escape the effects
of the decree, and adds:;
According TO article NJ. of the min
eral law OF November %, 1909, now in
force, title to mineral lands is obtained
from the nation, the real proprietor.
through deeds issued by the secretary
of the interior. The said title does not
grant an absolute right, but limited
proprietorship revertable to the state.
The theory of the law, according to the
statement, is that title is conditional on
the payment of imposts, or merely
grants of privilege to exploit land
which primarily belongs to the nation"
Annulment of title is excused as the
only efficaeious way of dealing with
owners who fail to comply with the de-
cree or to operate their holdings.
1t is pointed ont that law confscst.
ing mines for non-payment OF imposts
was passed in Mexico as far back as
1892

The country will applaud the promo
ton of Brig. Gen. John J. Pershing to be
a major general, filling the place made
vacant by the death of Albert L. Mills,
for Pershing is undoubtedly one of the
most able officers in the United States
army at the present time. His services
as commanding officer OF the American
punitive expedition in Mexico, although
the expedition has not fully completed
it's work, stamp him as a man Of practi-
cal experience and not wholly dependent
upon theoretical methods. Pershing has

REDUCING GLARE FROM AUTO.
MOBILE HEADLIGHTS.

There is rule of courtesy among
the better class of automobiles
which teaches, do as you would be
done by" and it applies with special
emphasis to the use Of glazing head
lights at night. Encouraged by this
spirit and by the passing of city ordin-
ances against the use of glazing head
lights in city limits, more than a
score Of anti-glare appliances have
been put on the supply market within
the last few months. They sell for
almost any amount, from few cents
up to six or eight dollars. Notwith-
standing the fact that many of these
appliances are open to objection, how
ever, thousands of them have been
sold, and if the buyer but knew. it he
might have used the adjustments on
the lamps to bring about more salts
factory and efficient solution Of the
difficulty without the expense.
Three operations are necessary in
order to obtain the greatest amount
of effective illumination and keep
most Of the glare out of the ewes of
passing automobilists They are:
a. Tilt the headlights slightly
downward so that when the car is
standing on the level the center of the
beam strikes the roadway anywhere
from rs tes 100 feet ahead. 1t has
been suggested that car manufactur-
ers can be of great help in the cam
,paign for reducing glare by making
this adjustment when the car is as
semb1ed.
~ Frost or lacquer the lamp
bulbs from the tip back to within about
five--eighths of an inch of the base.
60 Carefully adjust the lamp to
make the beam of light as narrow as
possible. .,.,,
Carrying out these suggestions will
result in light of the greatest in
tensity concentrated on the roadway
at the point where the driver needs the
most light. AS the beam of light is
projected downward the intense rays
will not be high enough to annoy or
blind the eyes of passing pedestrians
or chauffeurs. No device yet invent
ed can prevent the beam of light from
rising when the car comes over the
brow of hill. Under such conditions
each driver should realize the annoy
ance his lamps may cause and dim
them. Electric News Service.
