some attention to that unspeakable

haps to the numerous violations of
the speed ordinance by every kind of
vehicle crossing it. And ever since
that was published, this other male
factor, who has evidently committed
similar crime elsewhere in our

l am happy to be able to relate that
about three days after the above in
cident, while standing at the end of
this same bridge | saw an auto start
rapidly across and right in the middle
of the bridge was a lady. She was
fully aware of her predicament and
threw up her hands with a hopeless

Stacked up and passed her at a snails
pace, the owner addressing some
CHEEKY remark to her as he went by.
AS he passed me, though I did not

man. And he, realizing what prompt
ed my action, nodded and smiled.
I wish to say in this connection
that I have been all over the United

met a more cheerful, sociable, humane
lot of auto people, as a whole, as

BAD MANNERS AND
BAD STREETS CRITICIZED

Dear Mr.. Editor:
What makes this "Splasher's" case
greatly aggravated, is the fact that he
is trying to claim the dis honor of
being the perpetrator of as despic-
able a deed as was ever pulled off in
Twin Falls. The real victim was a
lady, the wife of building contract
or here in town. She was crossing
the bridge wheeling her baby in its
carriage An auto containing two
men and two women came slowly onto
the bridge, and seeing her helpless
ness, deliberately put on speed and al
most buried her and the baby under
the resultant shower of filth. Not
satisfied with that, they all looked
through the windows and laughed i'm
moderately at her plight.
The lady Immediately reported the
incident at the nearest telephone, to

COMPLIMENTS TO
THE "SPLASHER."

When we meet with a fellow
Diseased by conceit,
Who puts up a front"
Like he owns the whole street
So puffed with importance
His head weighs a ton
We can't help but wonder
What he's doing it on.
Some fellows because they
Can ride in a Ford
Feel as naughty and great
AS a Duke or a Lord;
They put on more airs
Than an old Spanish Don,
And cause us to wonder
What they're doing it on.
Every once in a while
We notice some jay,
Who tries to run down
All the folks in his way
And though a few softies
Will fall for his "con,"
The most of us wonder
What he's doing it on.
When a fellow goes bugs"
For a little cheap fame,
And by scattering filth
Hopes to win a big name
AS King of all Splashers-
He captures the bun"
But still we all wonder
What he's doing it on.
We can't see the reason
Or quite understand,
Why a civilized man
Would endeavor to brand
Himself as a fake
Or poor simpleton-
For it makes us all wonder
What he's doing it on.
Perhaps he has something
He wants to conceal,
He may be in debt
For his automobile,
i So he cuts up these didos
Observers to stun
But it makes 'em all wonder
What he's doing it on.
But the idea is this
If a man is a man,
| Neither autos nor riches
viii swell up his "can;"
! And man who's a man
Our esteem has sure won
And we don't have to wonder
e.What he's doing it on.

A Methodist conference can transact
more business in a given time than
any other body in the world of like
size. This is possible because all
committees and boards are organized
before the body sits. All business is
shaped by a series Of questions, while
the bishop and his cabinet of advisers
who are presiding elders are figuring
on the appointments to which the
preachers will be assigned the COM
mites and different boards are trans
acting important business, so that by
