RECKLESS DRIVING.

We wonder if the majority Of people who read
of the accidents caused by reckless driving and
speeding aren't great deal like ourselves, in that
the shock doesn't effect us nearly as much as It we
happen to know the parties concerned. In other
words, we firmly believe that If certain catas-
trophe struck close home to a number OF US at
the same time, there would be something started
to stop reckless driving and speeding on our public
highways.
Every now and then we read Of an accident
caused by reckless driving or racing on our high
ways which robs some kiddie Of his mother or
daddy, and probably through no fault OF the par
ents but the insane desire of the owner or driver
to speed. When an accident of this kind happens
to someone who is near dear to US, Immediately
we resolve to do something start something
that will make a reoccurrence impossible, but we
don't do it and it is principally because of lack
Of cooperation on the parF of others who may
not be at such high pitch Of enthusiasm as we
are at that particular time.
We don't pretend to offer a solution for reckless
driving and speeding, but we do know that those
who have persisted in violating the laws in this
respect in the past are going to be the cause
of some very drastic speed regulations in the near
future. It is really too bad we cannot Gull out
and isolate these reckless and speedy drivers, but
of course this cannot be done, and the rest Of us
will have to suffer with them.-Sparks.

"CUPID-THE COWPUNCHER"
AT GRAND TOMORROW

There's no resisting Will Rogers
in the part Of Cupid" Lloyd, the
cowpuncher who kept the local
preacher busy hooking up the eligible
couples of Briggs City. It's role
that allows him to "let co." Rogers,
in leather chaps, spurs and sombrero,
doesn't have to "act"-he just lives
the part.
Cupid" Lloyd and his flock Of
care-free, boisterous cowpunchers are
the real west. The Wild-and. Woody
country of the old movie thrillers,
with it's two-gun fighters, it's scenes
of preposterous melodrama and its
impossible deeds of valor existed
mainly in the fevered Imagination of
scenario scribblers. But here is the
real thing. Only one shot Is fired in
the whole picture+-and that one Is
part of a practical joke.
,"Cupid, The Cowpuncher" which will
be shown Thursday and Friday at
the Grand theatre, was adapted from
the we'll known story, "Alec Lloyd,
Cowpuhcher," by Eleanor Gates. The
growing demand for p Will Roger
picture laid in the west led to the
selection Of this happy tale from q
formidable list.
Helene Charwick, whose sunny
smile and wholesome personality
have placed her we'll at, the top of
the.leading women of the screen, is
a splendid foil for Will Rogers in
this picture. Andrew Robson plays

LABOR AND AMENDMENT NO. l..

Whatever question may have been raised in
isolated instances of the attitude Of labor toward
Amendment No. 1.-The Babcock good roads plan
that question has been definitely disposed OF by
recent action Of official labor bodies.
The first official action was taken at a meeting
of the executive council Of the Minnesota State
Federation of Labor at which unanimous approval
was given the good roads amendment. Next the
state convention of the Working Peoples Nom
partisan Political league at Rochester ndorsed the
amendment with the reservation that no bonds be
issued by the state in the carrying out OF the
plan. And the convention Of the State Federation
Of Labor at Rochester took similar action
AS to the matter of bond issue, it is exceedingly
unlikely that any such issue ever will be needed
or authorized. The bond issuing power is given
the legislature in: the amendment largely because
at the time was written the authors had not fore
seen how much revenue could be raised by auto
mobile license tax to pay for operations without
bond issue. Since then conditions have changed.
The amendment requires that any bonds issued
under the law shall not be sold below par and shall
not bear interest over per cent. OF course 1t
would be impossible now in the very near future
to sell penny's worth Of bonds on these terms
