CAREFULLY
To AUTO DRIVERS
Secretary of State Lewis G. Stevenson
Sends Ont Circular Letter 10 Mot
orists of Illinois.
GIVE LIST OF LAWS OF STATE
~ Moments Careicssness May Cost a
Human Life Is Warming OfhciaI
Dispatches to Owners.

"a moments carelessness may cost
a human life" is the warning given by
Lewis G. Stevenson, secretary of state,
in a circular sent out to Illinois mo-
florists. Secretary Stevenson outlines
some of the more important trafhc
laws Of the state and urges automobile
drivers to get the safety first habit
ut pays big to be careful and eau
tious. It pays to observe the law.
Automobiles should remember that
pedestrians have the same right to the
use of the street as an auto driver.
They should respect that right" says
the secretary.
Here are some Of his rules for mo-
torists:
Racing on the public highways is
forbidden by law. It may cost you
5000 to indulge in this dangerous prac-
tice.
If you run an automobile at night
without lighted lamps it may cost you
$100 in fines.
1t is dangerous as we'll as unlawful
to allow your engine to run while un-
attended. 1t makes you liable to
fine of SIS.
The law of the road is the law of the
land in Illinois. Keep to the right and
pass to the right of vehicles going in
the opposite direction.
The license of any chauffeur who OPP
crates a car vile intoxicated will be
revoked, on proof, by the secretary of
state.
Any chauffeur or other person hav-
ing the care of a motor vehicle, who
takes any consideration for the pur-
chase of SuDDlieS parts or work for
said vehicle may be fined 5000 and i'm
prisOned six months.
Prosecution Only Cures.
In conclusion Secretary Stevenson
says: 1.-THE most effective cure for
reckless and irresponsible driving is
prosecution under the law. Owners
owe to themselves and to the public to
aid in bringing the law breaker into
court. Bear this in mind always. 1t is
your duty as a citizen to respect the
law

NO BRAINS.

Judge Ray the temperance lecturer,
in one Of his efforts, got off the follow
ing hard hit at moderate drinkers"
"All those who in youth acquire a
habit of drinking whisky, at 40 years
Of age will be total abstainers or
drunkards. No person can use whisky
for years with moderation. II there
is a person In the audience before me
whose experience disputes this. let him
make 1t known: / will account for 1t
or acknowledge that am mistaken.
A tall, large man arose. and folding
his arms across his breast. said:
II offer myself as one whose expert
ence contradicts your statements"
Are you moderate drinker?"
'T am"
"How long have you drunk in
moderation"
"Forty years"
"And was never intoxicated?"
Never"
We'll" remarked the judge, scan
ming the subject from head to foot,
yours is q singular case; yet I think
1t is easily accounted for. l am re-
minded by it of little story A
colored man. with a loaf of bread and
a bottle of whisky, sat down to dine,
on the bank of a clear stream. In
breaking the bread he dropped some
CRUMBS INTO Ine water. ~IneS6 were
eagerly seized and eaten by the fish.
That circumstance suggested to the
darkey the idea Of dipping the bread
into the whisky and feeding it to them.
He tried. 1t worked well. Some Of
the fish ate it. and became drunk and
floated helplessly on the surface. In
this way he easily caught a large num-
ber. But in the stream was large
fish, very unlike the rest. 1t partook
freely of the bread and whisky with
no perceptible effect. It was shy of
every effort of the darkey to take it.
He resolved to take it at all hazards,
that he might learn it's name and ma
ture. He procured net. and after
much effort caught the fish, carried it
to a colored neighbor, and asked his
opinion of the matter. The other sur
veyed the wonder a moment, and then
said: "Sambo, l understand dis case;
de fish is a mullet- head, it amt got
no brains" "In other words" said the
Judge, "alcohol only affects the brain,
and Of course, those having none may
drink without injury" The storm OF
laughter which followed, drove the
moderate drinker from the house.

Some men go through life with 8
sour liver and miniature cold storage
plant where the heart should be. They
preach pessimism and SOW discomfort
Displeased with themselves and every
body and everything else, they try to
make others uncomfortable and dis
gruntled. They don't find peace noI
leave they others in peace until they
have run through their three scores
and ten and returned to dust.
And still such men have their mis-
sion in life. They are a part Of the
general order Of things, and the world
as whole is, no doubt, the better for
them. They are like bad tasting, i'll
smelling medicine. You take 1t under
protest and make faces while doing 1t,
but 1t ultimately works out for the
pest; 1t is necessary for your system.
We have with us today right here
In North Dakota a number Of such
men. ....

life's journey, you run in with another

Such a man is Usher L. Burdick.
His Mission Goes On.
1t is of minor importance, as far as
this my little tribute to him as a man
is concerned, that he today presents
himself as a candidate for one of the
greatest offices in the gift of the
sovereign voters of North Dakota.
Elected or defeated at the primaries
this month he will carry on his mis-
sion, and preach the Gospel of a bet
ter humanity and a sound optimism
In the future as he has in the past.
But If the people of this great state
could know him as his friends know
him-If they could see him and hear
him as have seen and listened to him
these past few weeks-if they could
hear him for but one hour. he would
be the next governor of our state' by
practically unanimous decision Of
the electorate.
When talking about Usher L. Bur-
dick as a candidate, it is well to bear
in mind that he is not in politics
primarily for the sake of obtaining
office. He has a mission to perform
and the office is only the means by
which the mission may be effectually
carried out and reforms established.
Neither is he an impractical dreamer,
visionary Don QuiXote, or a chaser
of phantoms; nor is he a demagogue.
He has something to say to the peo-
pie, and he knows how to say it. He
has some plans by which he proposes
to make North Dakota-good as it is
a still better place to live in. and he
tells the people how to go about it.,
with or without his help.

him, had to pay the penalty. And 1t
was given him as only a high-spirited
boy can give 1t. He was soundly
thrashed at the first recess.
The boy in the minister's cast-om
coat today presents himself to the peo-
pie Of North Dakota as candidate
for the nomination for governor in the
person of Usher l.. Burdick.
A Long Struggle.
Mr.. Burdick's life has been one con-
tinued struggle since then. First, the
struggle for existence, then a struggle
for an education through normal school
and university, and later a fight FOR
better conditions in the state, politic-
ally and otherwise. 1t has been rich
life; life well worth studying and
initiating by our younger generation.
Mr.. Burdick is only 81 years old today,
but he has already done more than one
mans work for the state.
