TRAFFIC ORDINANCES.

Detroit is the center of automobile
manufacturing But Detroit but lately
passed an ordinance prohibiting auto
mobiles parking on busy streets or to
flock business streets under any pre-
tense or conditions. And the news
papers say There was universal re-
jo!cing over the passage of the ordi-
nance" ~ s-.---
Cleveland has traffic ordinance
that prohibits all vehicles in the
busiest section and in busy sections
permits vehicles but does not permit
their parking or stopping for any but
the shortest periods.
Chicago has lately passed an ordi-
nance which after July l will prohibit
parking autos in the loop district and
which Immediately prohibits parking
in that section except in the slack
hours OF the day.
Smaller cities have the same prob
lem in a smaller WY that the big cities
nave thus attempted TO solve. Parking
cars along the curb of busy business
streets and especially on streets oc
cupied by street car lines is dangerous
and annoying 10 the public. It should
be stopped.
And to the smaller cities that brings
another problem. Parking places must
6e provided There must be some place
where visitors and general trade may
leave cars. Time was when the pub
lie squares were surrounded with
hitching posts for horses. We had that
problem 10 solve and solved it. The
rotor vehicle is still 10 be provided
for.
Perhaps some enterprisng person
will offer the motorist the same OPP
pt rtunity the feedshed gave the horse
driver There is good money waiting
for those who pioneer in this coming
business If man is willing to pay
fair price &c have his team safely
sheltered ne. will readily pay for ac-
curnmodation and safety OF his eX-
rensive machine. s
But We must find more parking
places There isn't any way out Oh
that. If the motor must leave the busy
street it must have somewhere 10 go.

CASUALTIES IN FOOTBALL.

The annual list of football deaths has
been published. Fortunately 1t is no
longer than the ones of last year and
the year previous. The mere fact that
it IS compiled. however, will be SUM-
cient TO stir up the usual hubbuh ABOUT

it be abolished

JUSTIFIED WRATH.
Grundy Republican,, j


The editor of the Wellsburg Herald
gets wrathy about the condition os GER
tain county roads in The Vicinity of
Wellsburg and he calls them disgraces,
or words TO that effect. He further
says that little attention given these
roads this fall would have left them in
fine condition and also saved the tax
payers money.
Without blaming any one. the Re
publican agrees heartily with the Her
aid and they were bad even month
ago. That they remain bad yet is no
credit TO a''comM The~trouble Is
not with the individual supervisors, as
the Republican sees it, for these same
bad pieces of road can be found in ev-
cry supervisor district in the county.
We have a faulty system of divided
authority and consequent divided re-
sponsibility.
II is ofttimes quoted that Thomas
jefferson once said the best governed
people are least governed but for the
life of us we can't make ourselves be-
leve that so wise man as Thomas
jefferson meant that remark to apply
TO a government which consisted of a
dozen or SO petty officials to every
square mile of territory in county.
Some day We are going to- learn that
an organization Of people is a business
proposition and not political one and
then we are going to do some things
better. Until then we must drive over
bad roads and the editors must discuss
them and then get discussed in
turn. Cheer up. Bro. Ashby, as the
comic cartoon says The worst Is We!
to come" Perhaps this is just the
darkest hour before the dawn.

the COST OF "n,eH LIvIMe".

An incident in Iowa the other day
has to do, not with the high cost Of liv-
ing but with the cost Of high living. A
young bank clerk was given sentence
that may keep him in the penitentiary
for a decade. He had been able thru
the trust reposed in him to steal8sev-
eralE thousands dollars from the bank
where he was employed. He hadn't
succumbed to the sudden temptation Of
a large sum but had taken as he need
ed 1t to keep up the pace. 1t was ex-
planned that he had 'been living high"
The lad was weak. The man who
steals little by little for his pleasures
is always weak. Strong men of course
are subject to temptation and a strong
deliberate thief insists on good haul.
Not that one thief is better than an
other, but a stronger and bigger thief,
One inspires fear which is the fallen
sister of respect. The ether brings
contempt.
A petty thief who steals in dribs to
satisfy petty desires and vices and i'm
moral tendencies is always weak.
He thought it high living. 1t wasn't
In fact it was the lowest of all kinds OF
living. To play poker with stolen mon
ey. to crafty low instincts and desires
with the cash other men had earned. to
deliberately risk the peace of his par
ents and his friends, to betray those
who trusted him wasn't high living.
Quite the reverse.
who imagines he is hero to harlots
and gamblers and the mob that well
comes him while he has money to
spend. Old man Morrison whose bank
ruptcy at the end of 100000 was an
nounced the other day, held that mag
mary position in his own mind. But
the testimony showed that he never had
been considered in any light except as
a sucker" They had taken him in,
fooled him. encouraged his own hero
worship and trimmed him. And the
fool. old or young, who imagines that
he is a hero in the poker room or other
vicious resorts because the gang slap
his back and praise him as game
loser is just fish, and so they. speak
of him aside as the poor fish They
don't miss him when he drops out of
tbe circle TO accompany the sheriff to
the pen. They merely pick up another
fish and play him.
1t is astonishing how much some
men. young and old. will pay for that
imaginary distinction of being dead
game snort, a devil of j fellow. The
high cost of living isn't in it with the
high cost of high rolling. Now and
then these fellows take a tumble to
themselves and come out all right,
that is they come out with scars IN
stead of ulcers, but the average young
fellow who seeks leadership as hell
of a fellow" ends up tramping. dead
heating. panhandling or in the pen.
It's the most expensive thing in the
world
