Reckless Drivers.
To the Editor Of The Star:

wish to raise a question as to the
purpose and the value Of so-called
drivers permits for the District Of
Columbia: After passing a farcical
examination an applicant is handed
permit provided he hands over
81. Possession of a permit seems to
be by no means a guarantee of abil-
ity to drive, of q guarantee Of care
full driving. Outside of proving a
source of revenue what good pur-
pose does this system serve?
Reckless and brainless drivers are
at large on Washington streets at
all times, endangering the lives and
property. of responsible auto drivers
Yet the escapades Of these reckless
drivers seem to go unnoticed by the
police department. though the trafic
policeman is quick to reprimand the
ordinary, everyday citizen. who is
trying so hard to drive right that he
sometimes goes wrong.
Drivers of automobiles from other
states come here, and assume that
the reciprocity relations Of the home
states with the District provide full
right to drive here with the same
papers they used at home, as they
have a right to assume. They are
not told differently until an accident
occurs, and are then informed that
they are in the wrong, because they
have not paid So for permit"

added:
But the big bugaboo to contend
with is the prohteer. II we could
get the rent hogs and prohteers into

The Labor Secretary declared men
who come to this country seeking to
compete with citizens must give con.
sideration for American laws and
principles. and those who do not
want to become citizens ought to be
made to register who, what and
where they are, so that they may be
accounted for at all times"

In the price of his grains and prod
ucts, marketed through a coopera-
tive system" C. " Gregory, editor
OF the Prairie Farmer, prophesied
at the annual county farm picnic
in Tindall's grove yesterday.
More than 2,5o0 farmers and fam
lies gathered for the big event OF
the year. There were 500 antonio
biles parked around the campus.
and the old and young participated
in the many events OF the morning
and afternoon programs
How agriculture can be helped
al the present time is the question
before the farmer" Mr. Gregory
said. The tiller of the soil has
had a difficult time within the last
IA months and endured many diff
entities. His products have been
selling for 13 per cent more than
the 1uotations OF 1913, but food
nroducts have advanced 43 per
cent. There is too much friction
and lost motion from the time the
farmer harvests his products until
they reach the consumer"
Mr.. Gregory pointed out that
dairy farmers around Chicago re-
ceived three cents a quart for milk
sold to the consumer in the city for
% cents a quart. This is not the
only case" he asserted, but many
more are similar to it. In many
sections of the country coopera-
tive marketing associations are be-
ing formed and the value Of these
are readily being realized, not only
by the farmer, but by the business
men of the community.

Past and Present.

1t is human to exaggerate the
charm of the past. We all do it
in our individual lives More and
more, as we get older, memory
turns to our childhood and youth,
fixes on the bright points, the deli
cate, delicious hours, omits the
rest and then says, "Ah, TO think
what life was them Why can |
not bring back the friends and the
sports and the dainty mad diver
sions that really make existence
seem worth while?"
In this, as in everything, human
ity in general is but the individual
writ large. When troubles thicken
and storms clatter and crash, and
the old world seems to be hobbling
to ruin, we look back and say,
ooh, how different! Those past
people did not have our problems
to contend with. For them life
was simple and easy and serene.
Women had all the household
virtues. Men did not hurry and
did not worry, but gained the SIM
pie necessaries in honest and indus
trious content. Day by day man
kind grows more corrupt and dis
satisfied, and
times worse and worse
Must still succeed the former"
1t is one Of the first duties of a
man to fight that tendency to over
estimate the past, whether in his
own personal life or in general
Study the past abstractly, imper.
sonally, instead of sentimentalizing
about it, and you will see that it
met the same difficulties and made
the same mistakes that we are
meeting and making. Do not
judge it by high lights and pleas.
ant memories. Plunge into the
shadows and you will find them
just as dark and deep as they are
today. Such study of the past is
of immense value to us, but its
value does not come from blight
ing the present, but from enabling
us to understand it. Only by suf-
icient consideration of the huge
travail OF the past can we guage
the toilsome steps of humanity il
the slow, tortuous, uncertain march
of progress. or become convinced
that there is progress, however
confused and desperate the upward
movement may appear.
1t is our business as honest men
and women not only to show that
the present is as good as the past,
or better, but to help to make it
so by believing in it.-The Youths $
Companion.
