machinery removed and the go-downs

me once that whereas the year before
he only played four holes at golf in

He often drove of and then rode to
the BAN in his rickshaw

MUNICIPAL LAWS SHOULD BE
ENFORCED

That good paper, the Dresden En-
terprise, is constantly publishing
editorial articles that apply to Cow
ington just like they were written
for it. In last weeks issue the lead
ing editorial in that paper was in
advocacy Of parking system for
automobiles, a law requiring auto
drivers to park their cars syste-
matically around the square and pro-
hibiting the blockading and "blind-
ing" Of corners, a very dangerous
thing to allow. Speaking of the pro-
miscuous stopping Of cars just any
old place the Enterprise says:
"And by the way, either that law
ought to be repealed or instructions
given the new police officer to arrest
any person, including the truck
drivers, who operate their cars in
Dresden with the cut-out open. We
ought to realize enough through fines
imposed for the violation Of these
ordinances to buy us some gravel
for our badly worn streets.
eve noticed in the last issue of
the Trenton Herald Democrat where
many prominent citizens Of that town
had been arrested and fined for dis
obeying the parking and cut-out
ordinances.
Dresden just needs to get move
on and keep somewhere in calling
distance Of other towns. A good
move would be ito pass parking
ordinance and enforce the cut-out
law already on the books"
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1920-09-23

The. editor Of the Nashville Banner
said the right thing exactly in its
issue Of September II in these words;
Stop Bolshevik talk wherever you
hear it. There is neither rime nor
reason for it. Labor never drew as
big wages in the history Of the world
as now It never had SO many privi-
leges. It never dressed or fed as
well. It never had such opportuni-
ties for education and enlightenment
1t never enjoyed so much freedom of
expression. True, prices of living ne
cessities are high. but not beyond
the wage earner's means. The trouble
is that lot of marplots and fa-
natics, loafers and scoundrels are
given too much license and with in
flammatory talk are melting the
thoughtless and reckless. Stop it.
