The lawsuit of Eastman VS..
Barnes and Brothers, which was
tried in the Circuit Court last
week, brings very pertinently be-
fore us the necessity of closer OBJ
servance of road laws and regula-
tons. 1t was regrettable that the
firm, none of whom had any direct
connection with the accident, were
forced to pay this huge sum and it
would have been regrettable
should the plaintiff gone without
compensation. And most regretta-
BILE of all was the loss of that splen
did young life. If fault there was,
we can only lay at the feet OF those
whose duty it is to see that road
laws are enforced. If there had
ben strict enforcing of these laws
before the accident happened, the
parties would not have been speed
ing; would have kept on the right
side of the road and the girl would
have been living today. If a law
is of any benefit, it should be en-
forced; if not it should be set aside.
We trust the road laws will be
more rigidly enforced in the flu
ture and such accidents averted.

THE EAGLES CLAW TIGHENS

According to Editor Thomas the
Eagle has at last fastened his re-
lentless talons on the name and
honor of our best of friends, Uncle
Alex, laying bare to the world
these things, so sacred in their
very conception, that it is sacri-
lege to disclose them. Hey-dey!
And what is the difference betwixt
Tweedledee and Tweedledum?
Our friend and neighbor, feign-
ing innocence almost angelic,
strings the following little bead on
the rosary so oddly strung: Uncle
Alex Curtis is teaching a chauffeur
school for young ladies. He just
hears his class on Sundays" May
the gods forsake you, editor Thorn
as, for this is breach of all conf
dence and violation of chivalry! in
all our most ignominious peach
ing" we never deigned to bring a
young lady into the limelight, by
parading her through the columns
of a newspaper. This was the I'M
kindest cut of all and we have a
penchant that Uncle Alex will not
accept it with as much gracious
and forgiving silence as he did our
innocent and unoffending mention.
AS you have assumed to cham
pion the cause OF Uncle Alex and
yet transcend us in glazing and
brazen publicity, through natural
courtesy as we'll IS duty, it de-
wolves upon us to d-iend the young
ladies as we'll rs Uncle Alex. Far
be 1t from is to thus bring to cruel
gaze OF an unsympathetic world
things meet only to be treasured in
the innermost recesses of the heart
I'm spring a young mans fancies,
lightly turn, etc." and what wreck
1t If his locks be white as the SHOWS
of Everest If his heart is young?
The man who is not thrilled by the
radiance of moonlight or yields
not to the seducing charms of twi-
light is fit for treasons, stratagems
and spoils.
And the young ladies-who can
blame them? Springtihe and fan
cy free, where is one who would
not learn to be a chauffeur? And
should the fact that they are ap-
prentices be SO cruelty paraded be-
fore the public?
All, editor Thomas, we fear you
have done the browning wrong of
all the sinful race in this uncalled-
for expose. We do not mind the
lashings you bestow upon US, but
for the sake OF sentiment. IL for
no other reason, do not tread the
sacred flowers Of Allah's own gar
den beneath your feet again!

A great many papers-mostly
Democratic are pouring out their vi

Clark. The chief reason is, Champ
is a man of opinions and with
enough courage to speak his con-

political machinists or individual
opinions. Champ may have been
off at times, but we believe he is at
least sincere and that is more than
