. land District of Columbia
auto war, through an amendment
to the agricultural bill that would
deny Federal aid in road construc-
tion to States that refuse to recog-
nize the auto tags of other States
or the District of Columbia, is a
most commendable one.
Maryland began, and for years
continued without encountering re-
taliation, her policy of compelling
District autoists to buy Maryland
auto tags, although permitting the
autOists of Virginia and all other
States to pass through her territory
on the customary reciprocity basis.
The District finally retaliated by
forcing Maryland autoists to buy
ID. c. tags if they wished to enter
the District.
The consequences are most un-
pleasant for all concerned.
Maryland's only real defense of
her persistent unneighborliness is
that she has spent many millions of
dollars upon her public highways {;
that she now has among the best
rOadways in the country; that
Washington autoists use these roads
more freely than the autoists of
many States combined, and thereby
aid In the cutting up of the roads,
the repairs to which are costly.
The State, it is contended, must
have the revenues forced from
District people to aid in roadway
upkeep and improvement.
The District could, of course, use
the same argument, but it is a
selfish, unfriendly view to take,
and Maryland State authorities
ought to see that her position is
not sustained, either in Congress
or by autoists throughout the
country, who feel that free access
to all States brings Americans
closer and makes for broader and
better understanding of national
problems.
The war of retaliation between
Maryland and the District is unwise
and undesirable. Washington auto
lists who happen to be arrested in
Maryland are often severely pun
ished by magistrates and constables,
while Maryland people coming Ito
Washington frequently meet similar
experiences. Traffic officers in the
District who arrest Maryland
people for failing to have D. C..
tags or drivers permits require
heavy collateral, whether or not
the offenders are in ignorance of
District of Columbia traffic laws.
Action by Congress is about the
only way the war can be ended.

WAYSIDE WISDOM
Copyright. 1872:
BY S. E. Kiser-

DON'T you think the world is brighter
Than it was a year ago?
Few mems burdens may be lighter,
Truth is making headway, though.
Women are appraised as cattle
Where the overlords are proud,
And there still are sounds of battle.
But they don't seem ute 80 loud.
I TITLE children still are dying
For the lack of proper care;
Weak and starved old men are signing,
Bigotry stalks here and there;
Foolishness is still in fashion.
Jealousy is cruel yet,
But sometimes men show compassion,
And the wronged sometimes forget.
VICE too often seems delightful.
Virtues garb is poor and plain;
1t is common to be spiteful.
Filth and ignorance remain;
Faith leads often to delusion.
Worthiness is underpaid.
But, with all the wild confusion,
Every year some gain Is made.
NOW and then some heartless master
Folds his hands and shuts his eyes:
Fools who stumble to disaster
Serve as warnings to the WISE
Here and there some valiant fighter
Overcomes a bestial foe;
Don't you think the world Is brighter
Than it was a year ago?

just how close our great institution

lis crowding the Barron creamery
That creamery is the largest in the
world and employs many paid haulers,
yet our creamery is pushing it hard
for first place. Now a circumstance
has arisen which will make it possible
for our creamery to forge ahead of
Barron. The awful cyclone which de-
vastated that part of the country
week ago will cripple the dairy indus
try of that section to deplorable de-
gree. 1t is most unfortunate and re-
grettable that this is so, and far be it
from this community to wish to make
capital out of the misfortune of others,
yet the fact remains that with the
united pulling of all our creamery pa
irons together in the way Of keeping
an extra COW or two or building up
their milk production by the eIimina-
ton of all boarder cows will almost
inevitably result in placing our cream
cry as the largest in the world-an
honor which we should all ardently
hope for and work for. Let's 90!
