Editor Banner-News -
All true lovers of life and
liberty read with sorrow the item
in your last weeks issue about the
accident to the boy on Main street
The writer thinks it high time some
thing is done to keep our boys and
girls off the streets. Public high
ways are not to be used for play
grounds, and therefore had this boy
been at home where he belonged, the
story would have been different. It
would seem that curfew law would
be of benefit. Have a curfew keeping
all boys and girls under 18 off the
streets after 8 p. ms and all violators
the juvenile courts protect the boys
and girls, so it seems towns the size
of our own Belding should resort to
the curfew as a means to protect
them. Parents should know where
their children are at all times for
that matter, and all under Is are yet
children-to the contrary notwith-
standing. Yes, give US a curfew or
dinance and note the results. Moth
ers, what is your verdict?
= A. Reader.
Editors note-For our readers in
formation we will say that there is
a curfew ordinance here but that it
is not enforced.l

recognition Of the fact that Ireland Is

these sections, the bill offered provides
for two legislatures, with council
elected by both, which eventually, 1t
Is hoped. will provide the means for
a union of all Ireland under one par
lament. Still reserved to the imperial
parliament under the new scheme are
all matters relating to foreign affairs,
war and peace. The two Irish legis-
latures will be entrusted with all func-
tons of local legislation. Their au-

RETURNING THE RAILWAYS

The presidents proclamation, giving
two months notice of his intention to
release the railways from their requi-
sition for war duty and to return them
to their owners, Is received with ap-
prevail by all shades of opinion in con-
gress and by the spokesman for the
railways. The dissent Of the four
brotherhoods is sufficiently explained
by their having received an increase
of wages--an increase, not an aggre-
gate misunderstanding what is
called the standard return paid by the
government for the use Of the roads
and an increase of the number en-
ployed by some 100000. Naturally
they are DESTROYS of more of the same,
and are now asking for 1t. The argu-
ments which fix them in their opin-
ion Of what Is good for them will con-
vince the country that they are not
putting the general welfare above their
special interests, and the country is
now thinking intently Of its interests.

that one and only way is through the

This is good advice for members Of

Is a call on the authorities to enforce
the law, fearlessly and without favor.
The Legion has no desire to take
matters into its own hands. Generally

position except where there was fear
that the officials would not do their

peace with warning factions even at

Of importance. They are even going
