THE MAYORS COURT

William James Richardson and
Henry Wooten, of the Senegambian
type, were brought into the presence
of Mayor McClanahan, yesterday
morning and were then and there
caused to contribute five dollars each
to the municipal administration on a
charge of gambling with cards Looks
like quite change from the old-time
African golf to the pasteboards.
One Ethel Boyd, also member OF
the black race, was fined ten dollars
by the mayor for abusing and cursing
another negro woman. It seems that
the Boyd woman is the widow Of an
insured negro soldier and that she
receives fifty dollars each month from
Uncle Sam. This gives her a feeling
of superiority over less favored
negro women, and, as this money
places her above the necessity of toll,
she has plenty of time to mix and
NEEDLE in the affairs of other men,
bers of her race. Mayor McClanahan
let her off with a fine Of ten dollars,
but gave her lecture that she would
do well to remember.
The scenes were then shifted, and
white speeders were introduced to
the court. Six men were fined for
stepping on 'er" until the speed
limit was passed. Each man drew a
fine and an admonition. The mayor
is determined to put a stop to speed
ing, and has two of his best officers
on the lockout for those who have
not the proper respect for the city'f
speed regulations.

ject and will not be hostile to any

question.
"While in the Senate Harding
worked hard His chief amusement is
golf, and he is a fine player. would
say that his temperament is judicial,
rather than impetuous. When he is
in the White House there will be no
more wild and whirling words, no out
breaks or hasty speeches. He is a
man that always thinks before he
speaks, or acts, and usually his judg-
mcnt is remarkably sound"
Private Enterprise"
Senator Jones of Washington, Re-
publican, said:
Senator Harding has taken a
strong and determined stand for pri-
vate enterprises, privately conducted
and against government ownership OF
participation in business. He was
prominent in the movement to have
the railroads, the telephones and tele-
graph lines returned to their owners.
"He has placed himself squarely
against interference by the legisla-
tive branch with matters within the
province of the executive, and has
taken equally strong ground against
the tendency for the executive depart
ment to encroach on the prerogatives
and duties of Congress.
"He favored and urged an Ameri-
can merchant marine, to be utilized
under private ownership and control.
"He supported and voted for the
prohibition amendment and measures
for its enforcement.
"He strongly supported all measur-
es for the effective prosecution Of the
war.
Senator Harding was a personal
friend and great admirer of Theodore
Roosevelt. One Of the most eloquent
speeches / have ever heard in the SEN
ate was made by him when he offer
ed an amendment to the draft act al
lowing Colonel Roosevelt to raise and
commander volunteer troops for Eu-
rope. He urged that this was the
most effective means Of putting the
very heart and spirit Of America into
the war and something that was inn
peratively needed at that time.
"He has taken a strong stand for
law enforcement and against radical
activities.
"He hates the espionage act and all
measures curbing the freedom Of
speech and of the press.
! HE has been friend throughout
of woman suffrage and voted to sub
nit the womanage suffrage amend
ment.
Although against government
ownership or control, or interference
in private activities, he favors strong
and effective control of great aggre-
cations of capital largely affecting
the welfare of the public.
"His attitude toward labor has beer
friendly and sympathetic, but he die
not hesitate to stand for the rights
and interests of the public when they
were threatened. On the whole, his
record in the Senate will very largely
harmonize with the Republican plat

SENATOR HARDING'S
POLITICAL RECORD

Washington, June Is. - Senator
FAIL Republican, Of New Mexico,
thus reviewed the career Of Senator
Harding in the Senate:
Senator Harding came cut strong
I ly for policy Of restricted immigra-
ton early in his career as a senator.
He favored the literacy test and
other means of protecting American
stapdards by shutting out European
undesirables.
HE voted for the war with Ger
many and unheld the president in
every one Of his strictly war policies,
voting for practically every measure
designed to further the war. He
voted fer the Overman bill allocating
large war powers to the president.
"On the treaty he was classed as a
strong reservationist. He stood for
all of the Lodge reservations. He
favored league of nations and de-
sired this country to assume all the
burdens and discharge all the obliga-
ticns that honor imposed on it. But
he stood unfinchingly for proper re-
servations in this matter and declar-
ed that these obligations should be
interpreted in an American way and
be carried out under direction Of the
American commissions
On Armenia.
American rights at home or abroad
will be safe with Warren G. Harding
in the White House. His action on
the Armenia mandate is a good midi
cation. He was chairman Of the sub
committee of the foreign relations
committee which reported the Will
liams resolution for recognition of
Armenia. In this report he expressed
the sympathy of America for Armenia
and asserted that the American gov
eminent would send ships to Batum
| if necessary to protect American
lives and property. He advised
American recognition of Armenian
independence.
president Wilson in his demand
| for an American mandate over Ar
,menia referred to this report, declar-
ing himself exceedingly gratifed'
with the stand Harding had taken.
"On this issue Harding at once
joined his Republican colleagues in
declaring against an Armenian man
date, and declared thai the United
States should decline 10 assume re-
fsponsibility for interference in the
affairs ofa foreign : stinent. He
advocated the discharge d all Ameri,
can obligations, but declared that
active military measures would be
Justified only in case Of an invasion
of American rights.
"He fully appreciated the duty o.
the United States to aid in restoring
order in Mexico, realizing that it is ir
the interest of lawabiding people In
Mexico. He is not the man to hesitate
at actual intervention if matters
should take such a course as to make
this final step necessary.
"How does he stand on prohibition

CHANGING BLOW ON
ROCK BAD FOR TIRE
"Head-on" Collision Causes
Less Damage, Though Severe
Jolt May Result.

A surprising fact in tire conserva-
tion is that IL is better to run over
a rock in the roadway than 10 hit
IL a sharp glancing blow. or course
such obstacles should be avoided II
possible, but when the dilemma OF a
choice is forced upon the motorist,
this decision is best.
To hit a rock head-on may cause
a severe jolt, and Furthermore Is
likely to stone bruise the tire, but II
causes less damage in the end to the
tire pfoperly inflated than sharp
blow against the side wall and rim.
AS explained by Miller tire experts,
the reason for this is that the tread
OF the tire is the part best able to
absorb shock incident to normal oper-
aung conditions.
Side walls. however, arc not in
tended to be shock absorbers. but
give the carcass OF the tire strength
and shape. Rubber on the side wall
from the destructive action OF the
elements.
The tread OF the tire is thick and
resilient and made to withstand the
abrasive action of the road. A layer
OF cords, heavily imbedded in cushion
rubber, is especially designed to neu-
tralize and distribute blows.
With tires constructed in this way,
the motorist has little choice, il un-
able to avoid an obstruction, than to
take the blow on the tread rather
than on the side wall. Careful driv-
ing should rarely make such a decis-
ion necessary.
The Washington times., 1920-07-24

thereupon indicted for the larceny of
the car The owner of the car testi-
fed that he had not given anyone
permission to remove it from the
garage. The owner of the garage
testified that the garage had been
left unattended during a part of the
night in question. and that when the
owner called for the car the next day
it was not in the garage. This was
substantially all of the evidence in
the case. The court decided that in
the absence of a positive statement
from the garage owner that he had
not given permission to anyone to
remove the car. there was room for
the inference that it had been re-
moved with his consent, and that the
defendant may have obtained the car
from the one who so removed it.
While II would have been unlawful
for the garage owner to have given
such consent, his liability for so doing
would have been civil, not criminal,
provided the car was to have been re-
turned. Upon these speculative con-
siderations the court decided that the
State had failed to prove the prison
ers guilt beyond the reasonable
doubt, and that therefore the verdict
