BOGGS AND A PARDON.

Waterloo Times Tribune.1
II the Waterloo man. Mr.. Boggs,
were asking for parole instead Of a
full pardon. there is little doubt that
his desires would be supported on all
sides. But as Mr.. Boggs and his
friends are asking for complete par
don, there naturally comes opposition
from some persons, the attorneys who
had to do with the prosecution OF the
case particularly.
The county attorney Of Grundy coun-
ty and the local attorneys who prose-
cuted Mr.. Boggs, could hardly be ex-
pected to admit that Mr.. Boggs was
mot guilty" and was convicted with
out warrant. Mr. Boggs and his friends
II they succeeded In getting pardon
for him, would establish Mr.. Boggs in
society as an innocent man. AS the
request means so much to the court
and to the lawyers who had to do with
the case, the contest before the parole
board Monday promises to bring strong
opposition.
Mr. Boggs had jury trial. Convic-
ton was had on the testimony. To say
that Mr. Boggs was innocent because
a certain man named Reimers, several
years after the trial, gave q detective
an affidavit which contradicts part OF
his testimony against Boggs, Is to In
wife challenge by the opposition who
state Mr. Boggs was not convicted on
| Reiner's testimony, but on his own ac-
| acknowledgement of letters written to the
bank and placed in evidence, which
| recognized that the paper in the Nor
| rison bank was put up as collateral for
loans and was not there for safe keep
| ing.
There is great deal Of sympathy
| for Mr.. Boggs in this part Of Iowa.
Many persons who were against him at
the time of his trial are interested In
his parole. Perhaps there would be no
objection anywhere to his parole. No
| good can be had from Mr.. Boggs' con-
! tinued incarceration. He Is capable of
doing good things IN the world. In
many respects he is a model citizen.
He can do no good for himself or his
family or his friends while In the peni-
Tertiary. II given his liberty he will
have an opportunity to re-establish
/ himself. Mr.. Boggs Is not such man
as need be kept within the cold walls
OF penitentiary for the protection OF
society. True, he was reckless In
money matters. but II It were just that
| he be punished, he has been punished
1 enough. He ,is not In any way dam
4 gerous. II the law holds that he IL a
criminal. he is not a criminal OF the
4 vicious or the dangerous type. The
point Is that no good ends can be
achieved by Mr.. Boggs' further pun :
ishment; while II liberated he can. and
his friends are sure he would. become
a useful citizen. II paroled We may
be sure that Mr. Boggs would estab-
lish his right to parole.
i Therefore, a good many people would
4 wish that, to settle the case. and to
give Mr. Boggs an opportunity to re-
4 establish himself. his friends would ask
for his parole instead OF pardon. There
are some people who Will nght the cast
to the last II those friends insist tina
he shall be liberated on the grOunt
/ that he was innocent OF crime and WA

ASKS FOR NEW LAW.

l"eDSter lily News Tribune.
One OF the things the legislature
could do for the benefit of the people
of the towns Of Iowa is to enact a law
that would give councils the power to
buy material and employ. workmen to
put in sewers. paving, etc. Under pres
ent statutes such work must be let to
contractors and when contractors COM
btne. as they often do. there is no COM
petition and the people have to pay ex-
orbitant prices. Iftthe law would per-
init councils to go ahead and do the
work. when the people within the i'm
provement district who pay for the job
so elect, the people would get such i'm
provements at fair prices. Some states
have such a law and it IL working well.
OF course contractors fight 1t and they
are well organized and have great in
fluences In the legislature. But II the
people would become, aroused 10 their
own interests In this matter they could
get what they want from the general
assembly. But as long an the people
are indifferent the contractors will con-
troll the legislature Such bill was
before that body last winter and our
representative. Hon. Rube McFerren,
supported it. but the contractors were
in Des Moines In force, Webster City
the measure was killed in the senate
being represented among the rest. and

DOES AUTO LESSEN
USE STRONG DRINK
Illinois Efficiency League
Sets Up This Claim, and
Increasing Deterrent.

The Fox River Valley Efficiency
league of Illinois has made IA new
claim for the automobile. A few
weeks ago a preacher said that the
automobile was having the effect OF
Increasing church attendance in the
rural districts. extending the radius
of the attendance many miles. Now
tho Fox River association conforS ai,
other moral. or uplifting. attribute on
the automobile. asserting that the ct-
feet Of the motorcar is To lessen the
drink habit, that its influence on tho
operator is toward abstinence and that
the rapid increase I'm the use of au-
tomohilcs is TO play an important part
in decreasing the consumption Of alco-
holic beverages.
Commenting on this assertion, Mo-
tor Age SAYS: Whether or not our
dry friends are correct in their argu~
mcuts, there is a certain basis Of logic
for the statement that drink cannr
hc made to fit into the age of cleo
triCity, steam and gasoline.
"Wlth the inherent capabilities for
injury to operators and others which
are possessed by a powerful, heavy
motorcar under the control of one
whose vision, Quickness OF action and
soundurss Of judgment are temporar-
ily cloudcd. whether II be 10y excess
in alcoholic StimulantS or from OthG
causes. it is certain that the present

or will. happen in roads that are
deep in dust.
Another and very dangerous cause
of sideslip is found when encounter
ing the steel rails Of the street car
fines. The tracks generally projec,
above the general level. or sometimes
are depressed below, in either cass
forming ridges which tend to prevent
the car travelling at an angle thereto.
The disturbing effect is greatest winch
the rails are wet.
Probably the fact that cars are
driven from the back and stcered at
the front contributes to their ten
denCy to slip as the rear part has
disposition to push around the frout,
| on one side or the other. OF course
the greatest tendency to sideslip oc-
ours when the car is being driven
around a corner, as the centrifugat
force then exerts very great lateral
pressure upon the vehicle.
To avoid sideslip you may take
certain precautions. Not to take the
car ont when the roads are slippery
would not be wise advice, because il
may not always be possible to follow
that ADVICE, and further. though the
roads may be perfectly safe, as n RUE.
you may find that the sprnkliub
cart has made them quite the reverse
| over more or less restricted sections.
| But. when slippery stretch Is en-
countcred, proceed slowly. especially
in making turns. If the car begins 10
slip, keep your wits about you ana
begin to steer in the direction of the
| slip. This may be exactly contrary
to your inclination, but it will tend
to restore the grip of the wheels on
the road, and, as soon as this result
| is attained, you may begin carefully
to steer again in the direction you
wish to go
The reason for the seemingly un-
natural instruction to steer the way
you are sliding is this: The car skids
when a certain momentum eXcrtS IL
self. tending to turn the car about its
center of gravity; when the forces
surrounding the center of gravity are
| balanced the skid is over. So that if
| the steering wheel is Immediately
turned so that the front wheels are
| headed in the direction of the skid
the slide will cease because of the
creation of a tendency to rotate in
the opposite direction to the skid.
As the transverse curve of the road
surface helps to promote sideslips,
you should drive as much on the
crown, or center of the road as con-
sideration for other traffic will al
low.
| In turning corners always go slow
| ly and keep to the right. If you keel.
on the inside of the corner the trans
verse inclination of the road may
| help to get the car around, but you
may meet some one and a quick
| turn will make you do exactly what
you have attempted to avoid In
| taking corners it is a good plan to
| decmtch and also to abstain from
putting on the brakes; the chances
of getting around safely are much in
creased if the car simply rolls around
| the curve.
Car lines should be crossed at as
nearly a right angle as possible. n

you are running along a crowded
road laid with car lines and wish to
get onto or off the track, the steering
should be as gradual as possible, so
that il the wheels refuse to take tho
ridges the disturbing effect will be
very small.
Prevention here, however is as
usual better than the cure. and 1t is
well to adopt some form of nonskid-
ding device. Nearly all of these de-
vices consist of some apparatus fitted
to the tires and designed to cut
through the mud and so obtain Il
hold on the firm surface below.
Chains are the most common of nom
skidding devices. ana, lacking other
devices. never be without a set =
fairly effective device may be impro-
vised for temporary use by winding
rope around the tire and felloes IN
spiral form. The ends Of the rope
must be carefully secured and exam
ined frequently. and renewed as re-
Quired In any case it is best to fit
all four wheels with nonskidding de
vices If only two are employed
they should be arranged on one front
and one rear wheel. but on opposite
sides Of the car this arrangement be
ing best in such case.-New York
Tribune.

an intoxicated driver in time will be-
come even mode straightlaced.
within the last few years the au-
thorities have become anything but
liberal in their views Of accidents
caused by drivers about whom there
has been any suspicion of having been
under the influence of liquor. In many
cities the weight of the law Is con-
siderahly more forcihle upon the In
toNicatcd driver involved in an acci-
dent than 1t Is upon a sober one under
exactly similar conditions.
1T is no more than logical TO as
sumo that these considerations would
have a direct effect upon motorists
themselves in preventing ovorin-
dulccncc when they expect to be oper-
atiug their machines. Most motorists,
realizing that they are in danger of
severe penalties in case OF an acci-
dent If they show signs Of iutoXica-
ton, even though they may not admit
that they are susceptible to its effects,
are less prone TO look upon the wine

engineer than on the statesman" Mr..
l'orimer says in discussing possible so
lutions Of the problem.
Certainly much depends on the
automobile engineer, for II one car
gives twice the mileage on one set Of
tires as the average for all other
makes of automobiles, the possibili-
ties for economy are apparent.
Doubling the average to equal the
$500 mile standard would mean a
closer following by engineers of the
fundamentals responsible for long tire
service. The tire question demands
engineering consideration of the re-
latiun Of the car to the tires. That
the tires must be made a part of the
car design is a truth demonstrated by
the manufacturer of the ear earning
the distinction of establishing the
comparative basis in the investigation
referred to.
The record of $3.50 miles shows
that tires can be relieved Of much of
the strain which they are commonly
required to stand Tightening the
weight the tires must carry, making
them big enough for their work, and
flexible, yielding construction that
softcns the blows absorbed by the
tires, are steps in the right direction.
Such treatment by one manufacturer,
in particular has already brought
about lou.er tire life through the
practical elimination of blow-outs,
which most generally occur before a
tire has had the chance To wear out,
The upward course IN the cost of
rubber calls for the same attention
that the car owning public is giving
the gasoline question. Saving tires is
| a possibility on par with saving gas

LIGRTEN THE CAR
INCREASE MILEAGE
Automobile Engineer Can
Do Much Toward Tire
Economy.

The annual tire uill paid by Amcri-
can motorists is $500, 0OO. 900, as re-
vealed by recently compiled figures on
the combination sales of an tire COM
panies in 1915.
OF that amount $1OO,OO0,O00 could
be saved the consumer, according to
statistics OF a prominent technical
authority vino last year received thou
sands of reports from owners of cars
of all makes.
The car of ideal service was deter
mined by selecting the make which
registered the highest average mile
age per set of tires. The result of
this classification matched consistent
ly with the national average published
by the manufacturer OF the car
established as the standard - $3.50
miles per set of tires. The mileage of
all the other makes of ears averaged
4,750 miles per set, less than half the
basic mileage.
These figures go to support the
statement by George Horace Lorimcr.
