OUR YESTERDAY.
tBy Gladys Lewis

NDy NIdUyS 7 VIZ
Our yesterday is in the past
Another step along life's way;
Mistakes have marked it to the last,
But they mean progress, not delay.
If we did lend the helping hand
That lessened someone's load OF
care;
Or if. SOMEONE can hrmer stand
Because we. cheered him in despair.
So let us hare no grief, no pain,
< For moments sad or glad or gay;
Rejoice that light has come again,
And leave with God our yesterday.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1923-01-30

Mr. and Mrs Erie Cooke, are at

Secretary Melons Retort.

Secretary Mellon, in a sharp retort
to Gov. Pinchot's structures upon the
federal administration Of the prohibi-
imputation of the Pennsylvania execu.
tive, and answers categorically the
questions put to him. The Secretary's
comeback was prompt and decisive in
tone, and rather puts Gov. Pinchot in
the attitude of having made charges
which could not be substantiated. The
Pennsylvania governor appears to
have been misinformed as to the status
of the enforcement Of the law in his
state by federal authorities; his sub.
ordinates seem not to have followed
up the cases in their last analysis.
Secretary Mellon scores a point
against the governor in. the latter's
complaint that the federal authorities
are not doing all they could in the way
of enforcement when he cites to the
governor the Pennsylvania statutes
and provisions of the Volstead act
which give the governor more latitude
in state enforcement than he has thus
far utilized.
In a caustic vein the Secretary re-
Dukes Gov. Pinchot for 1.-The futility
Of unjustified criticism based upon an
imperfect understanding of the facts"
No room can be left for doubt that
Secretary Mellon will enforce the law
within his power, although he recog-
nizes and points out that neither the
federal nor the state government can
expect to ferret out and punish all in.
fractions of the law.

To Parents.

At a recent meeting Of the Conduit
Road Citizens Association the secre-
tary Of the Washington Safety Coun-
ell said that parents may greatly re.
duce the number of traffic accidents
in which children figure IL they will
impress upon the children the absolute
necessity Of care in crossing streets.
Within the territory Of the Conduit
Road Citizens Association there is
much fast driving. 1t is a suburban
neighborhood crossed by several
through roads frequented by autoists.
but it Is not believed that children
there. are exposed to greater hazard
than In various other parts of the
District. The advice which the speak
er gave to parent members Of the
Conduit Road Association should be
needed by more persons than attended
the meeting in st. Davids Parish Hail.
1t should be taken to heart by parents
everywhere 1t Is not believed that
such parental advice and care would
keep all children from acts of care
lessness and thoughtlessness in the
streets. but it would have some help
full effect. To strongly impress chill
dren with the thought of danger. in
the street might keep many of them
to the sidewalk who now walk or run
in the street and often dart across the
path of approaching cars. No means
that promise greater safety in streets
should be overlooked

Andrew Bonar Law.

Andrew Bonar Law, former premier
Of England. died this morning in Lon
don after an illness which has lasted
for several months. 1t was this af-
t1iction that caused him to relinquish
his Office at time of the greatest
stress in British affairs, when his
good judgment and his stability were
most urgently needed. He had rem
dered great service to his country.
He was one Of the best equipped pub
nate or superior office. He was not a
brilliant man in the sense OF pyro.
technic qualities. He had no snowy
accomplishments. He was not an
orator in the sense of possessing the
power to sway multitudes by his
spoken word. He was a worker. an
executive, a deep thinker and a plan
ner. He always held the fullest conf
dence of, the people. The integrity of
his purposes was beyond question.
There was infinite tragedy in the
mischance that brought Bonar Law to
the height of every Britisher's ambi.
ton at the TING of the breaking point
of his health. His services for many
years had been virtually in prepara-
ton for the supreme command. He
had passed through a long and ardu-
GUS apprenticeship in training, had
won his way to the front, only to be
struck down swiftly by disease. 1t
has been said that his health broke
as the result of his intense applica.
tion TO duty, and if this is true he lit
orally sacrificed himself for his coun.
try, unselfishly.

Newspaper Edition
Collecting His Hobby

To the Editor of The Star:
Mr.. Franklin Steele's letter in The
Star of October &c on the subject of
stamps "and their historical interest
to the rising generation" is indeed
very instructive, but yours truly,
Is endeavoring to ascertain IL any
one has ever duplicated his hobby.
viz: the collaboration Of file of
anniversary and special issues of
world newspapers published in Eng
lish, to which more than 100 editors,
publishers and others have contrib
uted.
To the foregoing the writer seeks
G. A. r. and inaugural editions of
The Star and Post since the encamp-
ment of 1892 and Cleveland's second
Inauguration of March 4, 1893. As
The Star and Post cannot supply
those mementos, personal assistance
Is sought.
Should any Of your readers be in
terested in seeing his records (they
are al his home. the address found
on this letter., your humble servant
will be very pleased to show them.
One of the most Interesting issues
the writer possesses is a copy of The
Stars flftieth anniversary number.

to get what he thought due considera-

sion of some streets, set laborers. sud-
denly to work and pulled up the rail-
road tracks passing along 1st street
west and across Pennsylvania avenue
at the foot of Capitol Hill. The grade.
crossing feature was not the predom-
inant one in this bold act. The pioneer
railroad in Washington had taken
possession Of streets, run a line across
the Avenue. smoked up the Capitol
and put stumbling block in the way
of Shepherds plan for making over
the city.
When the second railroad system
built into Washington it set up its
station in a public park, took entire
possession of some streets and ave-
nues and turned streets. avenues and
public parks into freight yards. DAN
gerous barriers were erected between
South Washington and the remainder
of the city. There was quarter-cen-
tury fight against these conditions.
and The Star was the leader in that
long fight. Victory came. and with it

biles that pass the railroad grade
crossing at HyattsvilIe.
In recent years much work has been
done In extending avenues to the Dis.
trict boundary and in improving them
for traffic. Maryland has co-operated
in making them long-distance through.
ways by co-ordinating her road I'M
provements with them. Georgia Ave-
nue. pike has become an automobile
thoroughfare leading out of the Dis.
trict through the Silver Spring neigh
borhood to Wheaton. Olney, Sandy
Spring, Ellicott City and Baltimore,
with diverging roads to hundreds Of
other places. Wisconsin avenue has
become the main road to. the west.
Connecticut avenue has been made
into an automobile highway as far as
Chevy Chase Lake, where it connects
with a road to Kensington and Gar
rett Park. That road Is too narrow for
the traffic on it, and no doubt Mary
land will soon widen and otherwise i'm.
prove it..
Pennsylvania avenue has been ex.
tended from the Eastern branch to the
crest Of the Anacostia ridge, where
the Avenue connects with the good
roads system of Maryland. Nichols
avenue has been recently paved to the
point where 1t joins Livingston road,
which crosses the District line and fur
nishes an east route to that part of
Maryland called the Oxon Hill district.
Massachusetts, avenue has been built
through and improved to Nebraska
avenue, but 1t would be a great gain
to build it across the valley Of Powder
Mill branch, where Maryland might
take up the work and perhaps create
another highway to the upper Potomac
region. The paving Of Rhode Island
avenue marks step, or rather more
than mile, Of progress.
