HORSE AND. CUTTER DAYS

winters are not what they used to be
IN the cities Of haste and rush !;
me snow Is white for little while,
then turns TO an ugly slush.
AND the rapid wheels OF the motor cars
grind all of its beauty down.
But l long for the horse and cutter
days we knew in the little town
Then the world stayed white for n
month or two and the snow
drifts higher grew
And cheeks were pink With the elou
OF health and the joys we young.
sters knew,
Then sleigh bells added a merry lit tc
the cold and crispy air
And youth and maid in an open sleigh
were always a happy pair.
We hitched ride to the runner,
strong and the snow flew from
our feet,
But It's dangerous now to hitch a rid,
on the dark and crowded street
And the raucous honk OF the motor
horn has banished the sleigh
bells song,
For winter days are cherries now an,
winter nights are long.
Perhaps it's we'll that our CUSTOM
change and good that we trave
on,
But blent with the smiles of our newe
joys are signs for the pleasures
gone,
And ! sometimes long for the drifte,
snow and the white and frost,
ways,
With the cheeks of pink and tn
laughter gay Of our horse an

DISHONEST BONUS PROPOSALS,

As n ssheme for swindling veterans

gress for bonus payable out OF the
Allied debts leaves little to be desired.
A majority OF service men would
probably not see until after November
that they had been handed a gold
brick. From any other standpoint II
Is one OF the sheerest exhibitions OF
demagoguery In this generation. Presi-
dent Harding earns the thanks OF the
nation by letting his disfavoy be
promptly understood.

VALUE OF STATE POLICE.

While Illinois II worrying without
capturing many OF It's pay roll bandits,
without preventing crimes or captur-
ing criminals, and without lessening
very materially the number OF car
thefts, some other states are at work
on a serious and successful effort to
do things we have failed TO do.
Connecticut has we'll developed
system OF state police. Last summer
the state police OF Connecticut were
posted regarding auto thefts and were
prepared for an intensive campaign
against professional thieves who steal
cars and dispose OF them. Recently
the state police have gone through
several weeks OF hard work In round
ing wp stolen cars and In apprehend-
ing those who have been suspected
with having stolen cars or received
stolen cars. On Thursday OF last
week the state police had forty cars
each with the engine number. buffec
of, and the report from the head OF
the police system OF that state sale
that scores OF other cars had beer
taken in by the officers and returned
10 their owners.

pensive for a commonwealth to main.

mobiles which the Connecticut stat,
police have thus far secured from
thieves or from operators OF fences &
almost enough to balance the cost o

year-and the state constabulary ha

value to the state.-Peoria Journal

LAWS THAT BREED CRIME.

Instead Of calling on the public to
aid in the enforcement OF laws It OBJ
viously does not want enforced. the
Federal and State District Attorneys
who have met at Albany to inquire
into the origin of the crime wave
should remind Congress and the State
Legislature OF an axiom formulated
by Herbert Spencer: BY association
with laws that cannot be enforced,
laws that can be enforced lose their
authority.
This is no mere theory but fact
which could have been deduced from
the first government and will be
found equally true OF the last There
were never better illustrations of it
than the operation OF the Volstead act
In the United States and the Mullan-
Gage act In New York. These laws
are broken because the people OF the
State and nation are out OF sympathy
with them. and the disrespect for
them breeds disrespect for all others
II the popular attitude toward pro-
hibition enforcement Is mainly re-
sponsible as has been decided In the
Albany conference, for the criminal
tendencies Of the time. the blame lies
with the minority which procured the
laws openly disregarded and with
the legislators who passed them with
out warrant from their constituents.
A law is a legal fiction unless there
/ is public conviction behind 1t. The
statute books are crowded with such
| fictions. damaging to the morale OF
the country in proportion to the effor-
made to make them real. When we
| have revised our prohibition statutes
to conform with public sentiment they
will be obeyed and the codes whereof
they are part will gain vastly in ths
estimation OF the citizens who liv,
under them.--New York World.
