FAST DRIVING ON
(Contiued from page II

exceeding five miles per hour, and
upon approaching crossing
OF intersecting highways at a
speed not greater than is reasonable
and proper. having regard to the traf-
fic then on such highway and the
safety OF the public"
/ wish to state that It Is not my
purpose to place an unreasonable
construction upon the foregoing acts.
realize there are times and con
ditions calling for greater speed than
is permitted by the sections above
quoted However, the spirit and in
tent OF the law we expect all law a.
biding citizens TO observe. II is
fact that nearly all of the serious
and fatal automobile tragedies oc-
curing within our county have taken
place upon the Williamsport turn
pike. This should be a sufficient
warning to the general public, but 1t
seems that the law must be enforced
before many of the willful violators
will observe the rights of others, md
the laws effecting traffic.
I understand that is so far as the
speed of travelling over our turn
pixies is concerned the officials OF
the various companies may modify
the conditions of the preceding sec
tons | am told they have done SO,
and that the rate Of speed Is now
% miles per hour. II ! am correctly
informed, rate of speed as high
as 40 miles per hour Is nothing un-
usual If the companies are unable
to control this fast and reckless
driving, 1t Is certainly the duty Of
the county officials to take the mat
ter into their hands and see to It
that the violators are summary
punished. | am informed the chief
offenders against our speed laws are
our own local people, which | regret.
II this 1t true special effort will
be made to detect them and have
them punished. The first offense for
violating the speed limit is a fine
not exceeding. $4,000. The second
offeRse a fine not less than $4,000
nor more than $4,000, or lmprison-
ment not exceeding thirty days. or
both; and fine Of not less than
10000 nor more than s250.00 and
imprisonment not exceeding thirty
days for the third or subsequent Of
tense.
wish to repeat this is the last
warning and unless 1t is needed VIC
lators will have to pay the penalty.

A WEAK SPOT IN NATIONS WALL
Iere ON The Uniform Meeting Topic OF The Young
"Mssion Work In Cihes.'
BY WILLIAM Il. ELLIS

the vast alien population into the
Christian life of the new world.
Frankly. only the most shallow and
most perfunctory efforts had been
put forth, until quite recently, toward
the solution Of this question. Nor
has there as yet appeared any ade-
guate. statesmanlike method of deal
ing with the immigration problem.
The new firing line of Christian
progress is in the city. There center
the problems that are likely to give
the twentieth century the greatest
concern. The congested and con.
glomerate character of certain large
sections of most modern municipali-
ties has created an entire new set
of social problems. Some of these
are so grave as to alarm thoughtful
citizens. Political economists are
pointing out that the next generation
will have to face difficulties far
graver than any that confronted the
pioneers who made two great ma
tions on this western continent.
So long as the slun.s are regarded
as slums their problems will never be
met; but when once they are seen as
collections of people, with the same
instincts, impulses and deeds as
other people, there Is hope for help
ing them. God himself is not in
terested in "the masses; He knows
all His sheep by name. The divine
art of bothering ones fellow men:
that is the only way to win the bat
tie of the slums."
A common colloquialism of more
than ordinary eXpressiveness de-
scribes the defeated in life as 1.-The
down and out" These abound in
the congested portions of the city.
They sprawl on the benches of the
public parks. dose in rescue missions,
huddle around the radiators in cheap
lodging houses, or stand at the door
of the liquor saloon. Some of their

The city is one of the big modern
problems. 1t is so vast, so intricate.
so unknowable a thing that usually
only phases of it are considered at a
time. Some speakers talk of the city
when they only mean part. of it that
IS given over to poverty and vice.
others have in mind only the princi-
pal downtown" portions when they
talk of the city; meaning thereby the
main thoroughfares, the hotels, the
Dig stores, the places of amusement
n1id the railway stations. Still others
regard the city in an entirely ma
terial sense-its buildings, its indus
tries, Its wealth. A city is all these
and much more. And in any light
IL is worth studying as the greatest,
albeit perhaps the most perilous,
product of the nineteenth and twen-
tieth centuries.
OF late years the churches have
made a vigorous effort to grapple
with what they call the city problem.
Church extension and city mission
committees, of varying efficiency, are
common in all denominations.
Preaching places. which commonly
develop into full-f1edged churches,
follow the growth cf population.
Rescue missions are maintained in
the congested sections. The foreign
population is given special attention.
Nevertheless, city mission work may
still be said to be in an experimental
stage. Nobody thinks that the reme-
dies equal the needs. There is a
vital something still lacking; so that
the life of the average city may fairly
be said to be less religious than the
life of the same number of persons
in the country.
The religious forces of North
America are only now awakening to
the importance of one of their great
est problems: namely. how to merge

 ANCIENT RITE

Conforming to the custom of gen. erations and obeying the dying wish es of their late Chief Isadore, memhe 2 of the Kootenai tribe of In diaus of northern Idaho elected the second son of their deceased Chief Isadore, whose name is Narcisse (Charles) to rule over them, says the Spokane Chronicle. The first son Of the chief is in the advanced stag es ot tuberculosis.
 The election was held in the mission chapel with the assistance of Father Jambot of Cranbrook, B. G., wno is spiritual adviser of the tribe.
 Every male 21 years old or more was given a vote. Each stood be- fore the assembly and gave the req sons for his choice, telling of the valor and strength, of his candidate. Only five members voted against NP cisse. The election was followed by liz feast in honor of Chief Isadore the Second.

Wilson made an attempt some time ago to play upon the sympathies of the officials at the county jail by swallowing a handful of table salt and eating soap which caused him to froth ht the mouth. He claimed to the off cers that he had taken poison but the stomach pump soon put the lie to his story.
 His latest ruse was an appeal to Governor Withycombe, stating that he had tuberculosis. The governor authorized his removal to the coun- ty farm if proved to be consumptiVe. An examination by pr. E. P. Geary and Dr. R. Cliff disclosed that Will son is not suffering from consump- ton. ii lh;
