AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS.

I There are too many automobile ac-
scidents, and it is a fact that in al
most every case the accident can be
traced directly to the carelessness of
some person. The accident which
could not have been avoided with or
binary care is the exception.
Reckless driving, which includes
speeding, occupies first position as a
cause of accidents. We know nothing
that can stop it except the police or
a shotgun, and it may be necessary to
utilize both before the reckless ten
denotes of some drivers are curbed.
Utter disregard by many pedes-
TRANS of the ordinary rules of safety
causes many accidents. In spite of
all the warnings that have been
Issued many people will still persist in
walking ~diagonally across street in
t~ersections and crossing the street in
the middle of the block. OF the two
the latter practice is the more dan
5gerous.c On any fine afternoon the
business streets of Grand Forks are
.lined with autos parked against the
curb so close together that it is i'm
possible for the driver of a car to
see any person standing between
them. And, when the streets are in
sthis condition it is seldom thai a car
travels a block, without narrowly
missing some person who pops sud-
denly out from between two standing
CARS and makes a rush for the other
side Of the street.
3. Autos are driven at night without
sights. with only, one light, and with
unnecessarily and unlawfully brillian,
lights. Result, confusion and a
smash.
Cars are driven to stop on the
wrong side OF the street. Dangerous
in the daytime, this practice lis dou.

BARTER

Commerce between individuals and
of individuals is as old az the
I@human race. At first all commerce
was by means of barter, hat is, the
f#%dhect exchange of one commodity
FOR another. Presently, as a matter
gsassof convenience, tokens of value were
,SS$kiyen for commodities, to be ex-
$sSScharEed presently for other commodl-
ties, and thus we had the beginnings
Of q currency system. All sorts of
things have been used as currency.

discs and printed pieces of paper. In
recent times these ave been very
ssThrge1y superseded by written forms

Ssasmost of the business of the world is

In consequence the monetary units of
various countries have deprecated

zens of those countries only at prices
which are pr%ohibitive..
In order to facilitate the trade

There isn't any mattress there

They looked at one another in a
quandary.
Go on back to bed, Gooding," said
David at last. This is no time for

Gooding would not hear OF It.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

The spirit of the Hartford Times in inviting all its neighbors in the state to visit its new plant is deserving of praise. The men who will attend the lunch and inspection on December ? will come away much the wiser for their visit, they will have the pleasure of seeing all the assets of modern journalism.
 Newspapers, like other concerns. used to adhere to the policy of not letting its next door nefghbor know what it was doing, but the Times has broken away from that policy and has thrown open it's doors to the news paper men of the state. It is the same spirit of progressiveness which prompted it 10 build the finest news paper building in the state.

confiscatory portions of Article xxvII

confiscatory portions of Article XXVI1 of its constitution must be assured.
 Recent statements from leading Mexicans are to the effect that it will not accept terms of recognition unless they are in accordance with the dig nity of that country. It is presumed that this demanded abrogation of cer- tain portions of the constitution of that country will be deemed a failure to recognize Mexico's dignity.
 One is tempted to say: What d ye mean? Dignity?"
 Reports have it that the terms will not reach Mexico until just before he inauguration of President obregon Thus there will be plenty of room for excuses by that government for fail ing to take immediate action. It may be confidently predicted that immedi- ate action will not be taken. and that statements containing ingratiating smiles, but no definite results. will be forthcoming.
 Obregon has shown every dispo- sition, publicly, to obtain the individ- ual and official friendship of the United States. But no one has has recorded his private remarks. or the look on his face when the United States is dis cussed. In him. as in all of Mexican blood. there turks the traditional feel ing against this country. Despite his | humor and inEratiating words, it is ] believed that he will hesitate a long time before approving anything which may seem. to his people, to belittle the land they live in.
 So 1t is only a slim hope, we believe. that we may feel over immediate re- suits of this latest step toward settle. ment of an ever troublesome problem.
