, sidered weapon but it Is a machine easily capable of causing death. Statistics show that since the coming Of the automobile better health pre- vails. This may b" coincidence, but il is far more likely that the increased opportunity offered hy the automobile for getting lot of fresh air and change Of environment. will make mems lives longer This, even figuring the number of people killed in acci- dents.
 But thc time came when permit had to be obtained in civilized com munites to carry a weapon. Such weapon could not add to the span of life except hy protecting one who bore it from sudden death. The automobile, if we may rely upon figures. does add to lifes span. II will not be until men and women everywhere realize this health giving quality of the automo- bile will men and women everywhere feel that the responsibility of encour- aging it's more general use rests with them. There can be no question but that the requirements for obtaining drivers licenses will be made more stringent, as the reasons for granting permits to carry dangerous weapons has been made more stringent. unless men and women everywhere realize their personal responsibility not only to manage their own cars carefully, but to practically ostracize others who refuse to take this stand.

away from landscape work and de- voting itself to representations of people. either types or individuals. Ii is not wholly plea sant to feel that the thought of today is more of people than it used to be, and that pure in- animate beauty carries no such ap- peal as it used But if this be admitted it is easy to see why artists, being human despite popular idea to the contrary, should reflect this general feeling. Moreover the reason for un- derstandable pictures may be seen readily. As literature is picturing phases of life we all understand, so is painting. The public is demanding actual word pictures of conditions with which we are familiar. The old Literature" of the past, with its long, complicated sentences. finds no sale. The clear-cut tale of real life that is lived by the multitude, is the tale that finds a ready market.
 But possibly the best feature about the comment of these judges of painting is that which shows the re- fiection of general ioyousness upon the canvas. Many believe. perhaps. that we are far too joyous; that we have become a nation of pleasure seekers. But the seekers after pleasure are not always the most joyous of men and women. Quite the reverse; they are apt to be the discontented, looking for something to banish their discontent. The true meaning of the many brighter colors, the joyousness they reflect, is the evidence of cheer fitness and optimism they present. 1tI may be said that the artists of today whose work has called forth their comments. truly reflect the mood Of the mass Of the people, And that mood is a joyous one.

CHIMES. BOTH

Superintendent of Schools Tinker of Waterbury, is reported 10 bav. made the significant comment that II man gets drunk and stabs sn- other. tho fact that he was drunk and did not realize what ho was doing is no defense. He loses his life or iiber- ty if his victim dies, while another, who gets drunk and runs down man with his automobils and kills him, may get of with a fine. Tn ali proba- bility Mir. Tinker or no one else would advocate electrocUting every man who. having taken a driuk, has fatal accident But the comparison inspires thought and q consideration Of the numerous automobile accidents that are blackeuing the country with tragedy.
 II was not so many years ago that one did not have to obtain a license in order 10 operate car. Some states. such as Kansas. never considered the necessity until comparatively recently. It vas only the evidence of unskiifui driving, resulting in many accidents, that made the license a necessity.
 Similarly there was no requirement. for A long time. that anyone carrying a "eoncealed weapon" must have a permit Tn the early days of the couE- try. of course. the carrying Of firearTis was considered 8 necessity. Life was not secure against the ever present Indian. and even before that in pre- historic times. men were forced to protect themselves always against the wild beasts which might attack at any time.

POLITICAL UNITY

If the two words above suggest har-
 on any one great issue. the juxtaposi-
 ton Of the words is inclined to bring
 a smile of incredulity. They ain't
 no such animile," would be the col
 loquial way of expressing the prevail
 ing opinion of skeptics
 But it is not out of the question. To- day comes news that Democratic Lead
 er Of the House Garrett declares that
 his party in congress will not assert its partisanship in regard to any tax
 reduction plan. It will work whole
 heartedly with members of the op- posite faith, whether the standpat or progressive faction, with the sole ob- ject of promoting the public good" at the same time declaring that the Democrats will formulate their own program according to the well es- abolished Democratic principles and policies"
 This statement of course, will be picked to pieces hy Representative Garrcits politica 'ponents; sis in- sistencc upon fo| 1ne well estab- lished Democratic principles and poli- cics" will be construed to pave the way for the Democratic stamp upon whatever public opinion demands The eorst political motives will he attributed to him, as they would he attributed to a Republican under the same circumstances.
 But it would seem that there is no necessity for every man and woman in the country to give up all their Ideals Of human nature, There is no need to join tho great army of cynics who insist that no man in public life can possibly he moved by an honest desire to lead his party in tho die rcciion that will bc most advantageous for the people generally. The mere suggestion of a change in Secretary of the Treasury Melons plan should not necessarily be the signal for the cry that the plan is being mutilated by political opponents merely because it is the plan Of tho opposition admin istration--if indeed, it proves to be that. Admit. SIS all must do, that noth- Ing human is perfect. it is quite pos sible that even this excellent plan Of Mir. Mcl1on's may he adopted without his theories in all particulars being approved Quite possibly. even, the tax reduction might come from it and part Of the money thus saved used by the taxpayers for some splendid pur- pose. Briefly, suggestion Of alteration must not be considered. in itself political move 10 gather votrs.
 Popular opinion has got in it's work, as fl usually does in matter Of this importance. The country is crying for tax reduction. Jf thare could be. in fact. a non- partisan consideration Of the subject neither party would lose 8 single vote thereby. Secretary Mel ] lon himself should be. and perhaps is 1 big enough to follow the footsteps Of the greatest adjuster Of difficulties this country has had in recent years, 1 Theodore Roosevelt. former president. ] and listen to other demands Of the ! people, consider those demands ss af- 1 fecting his original proposal, and try 1 10 satisfy both.

Memb,.r Audit Bureau of Circulation,
VACCINATION ORDER

Two cases of smallpox have been found in this city in two weeks. The superintendent Of health has asked the school authorities to issue a gen. eral order for vaccination asking students of the schools to consult their family physicians at once.
 This Is the action that should be taken. It is moderate. and failure to urge consultation with a physician would have been failure to do the obviously wise thing. Always. under such conditions as these, there com" up arguments in favor Of and against vaccination. A great many people there are who trown and refuse 10 acknowledge the value of it. insisting that they would prefer 10 have their children run the risk of contracting this awful disease than to submit to vaccination. As there are great many people who take this stand, so there are comparatively few physi- clans who back them up. They are to be found. these anti-raocination phy- cians, among tho doctors Of the older schools as a rule.
 No person, no group of persons is iufanible. The only possible wise course to take under such circum- stances Is to consider the history of this disease in tho past, to note any change in its general prevalence, the cause therefor and the results science has achieved
 Smallpox has become less prevalent m this country in direct proportion to the number of people vaccinated The more who have been thus treated, the fewer have been the sufferers from smallpox. Some communities have been made practically immune by the use of vaccination.
 1hr disease itself has been made less severe since vaccination became recognized by leading physicians as practically sure precaution against smallpox. Those who have suffered from it. therefore. though they have not been vaceinated, have benefited because the people in vast numbers have submitted to vaccination and thus reduced the yirulcnrc of the disease II has been claimed that smallpox could be stamped out cn- tirely from the country. as other diseases have been wiped out were vaccination 10 become general
 As human beings She best we can do is to profit by what experience in this disease and fighting il has taught us. Thus it Is urged that this order be generally obeyed. Naccina- ton has saved probably millions of lives It will save millions more. The prepond crancc of good authority fsvors it. It is not fair for any lay man Co risk tine lives of those near him or the lives Of those his refusal 10 recognize this necessary step may affect.
