and there propel your painting boat until you've

FROST and many priceless lives lost for his
besotted sake; emergencies arise, alas and then
he steps down on the gas when he should the
brake. l beg you j. Augustus Barr, to keep off
Main street with your car until you've learned to
drive; because of drivers brash and new ten
thousand sleep beneath the dew, who still should
be alive" But James Augustus is a bore who
knows it all, and then some more, and balks at
counsel wise; and so he fooled his boat along,
among the Main street shopping throng,N and
crippled seven guys And of the five will
to get the money they feel due for sundry
broken limbs; and two in righteous wrath have
said that they will punch the drivers head, and
backen both his glims. And it is certainly a
shame that boobs, before they've learned the

cops should pinch such lads at sight, and straight
way Jail them night and confscate their
carts.

FRIGHTENING IN WASHINGTON

The preparations of Washington landlords and
other caterers for big killing" at the armament
conference may have good effect, after all. 1t
is an old saying that things have to get worse be-
fore they gel better. And it is barely possible
that shameful exhibition of the present day vice
time when the whole worlds sense of decency will
be shocked by it. and the opinion of American
character, held by foreigners, distinctly lowered,
may have sautary effect.
1t is question of common honesty rather than
Of economies. ''Al the traffic will bear" is the
hghwaymans philosophy. To catch a man in a
situation where he is bound to have a certain
thing, and then charge him an excessive price for
it, is the exact moral equivalent of catching man
with his hands tied and picking his pockets. There
is legal difference between the pro6tser and the
thief but no moral difference whatever
The government can not ignore the preparations
now being made in Washington Aside from all
ethical considerations, the effect aof such course
upon the minds of delegates, correspondents, and
all classes of visitors would be so unfavorable as
10 result in sensible lowering of American pres
tige at the conference. Foreigners. unacquainted
with the true soul of this country, could not be
blamed for assuming that the almighty dollar is the
American king, and that the one single national
aspiration is to make money by fair means or foul
1t would cast its sinister shadow over every propo-
s;tion advanced by American delegates and make
our professions of humanity sound like the bland
ishments of the confidence man.
With the fate of the present Administration
