little six by eight ante-room between

a partition only eight feet high. with
a great open space above through
which could be heard all that was
said among the Haymakers in solemn
session. The eligibility and desir-
ability OF the candidates were dis
cussed for an hour and I fear. alas.
the candidates heard every word.
Their joint procllvity was empha-
sized. and l. suspect objections were
urged that were not wholly justified.
In n bit OF cheating, which must
have been forgiven ere this. the
ministers of the two churches were
impersonated. though the imperson-
ators some times fell short of clerical
terms OF speech. The Haymakers.
with rare facility, turned tanners and
did a wonderful job Of it. NIanifesta-

Check Speeders by
Rigid Sentences

Indianapolis, Sept 28-(A. p. by
MaiD-Jail sentences, heavy fines
and loss of their automobiles are
proving effective in reducing the
number of speeders in Indianapolis.
The plan, introduced short time
ago by Judge Delbert o. Wilmeth,
has resulted in a general let down
in speeding throughout the city, &C
Tcording to police officers.
Judge Wilmeth works on a scale.
First offenders are fined set amount
for whatever speed they are con-
victed Of having made. but do not
have to pay If they relinquish their
machines for q certain number of
days. For example, a person con-
victed of driving Is miles an hour is
fined S. and costa On payment of
TIE costs and turning in his license
plates and drivers certificate, thu
fine is suspended. In five days the
offenders again may driye his car.
The faster person drives, the
heavier the fine and the longer lie
rnust be without his car. There is
oaly one recourse from a state farm
sentence upon conviction fo- n sec
ond tffGnse. That is through tie
higher courts, to (Which a number Il
appeals already Have been made.

Memorial Day
For Auto Victims

Rio de Janeiro. Sept. IA. P. by
MaiD-A special Memorial Day for
the victims of automobile accidents
was celebrated in this city recently
with such popular. interest and sup
port that very probably it will be-
come an annual event.
The idea of an automobile victims
memorial day grew out OF pro-
posal, probably made by some wag,
to celebrate a 'chauffeurs' day" in
homage to the powerful labor Or
ganization which protects the inter

mobile accidents, with their toll of

drivers, as class, are not beloved
by the people. The public protest
that was Immediately and loudly
raised was organized into a day of
homage to the auto drivers victims.
Mass for the souls Of the automo-
bile victims was celebrated in the
church of Sac Francisco de Paulo,
one Of the largest temples in this
city, and the crowd which attended,
consisting for the most part Of rela-
tives and friends Of those who had
been killed by automobiles, filled the
great building to overlooking.
wreaths Of flowers were spread on
the graves Of automobile victims and
other flowers were placed on some of

All Of these ceremonies were
viewed with great public interest,
and called forth much press COM

Although official statistics con-

not been published. it Is estimated
that an average of five persons are
killed or injured by automobiles in
this city every day.

DRUGGISTS AND THE FEDERAL
LAWS

At the annual convention in Boston,
of retail druggists, an attorney Of the
association made an attack on the
Presidents attitude toward prohibit
ton to the effect that he is being used
by the dry interests" and been
promised the Ohio delegation if he
will be good" This came about, it
appeared. because the President had
referred to the head prohibition en-
forcement officer, instead of to the
head Of the treasury department, an
offer of this retail druggists associa-
ton to send representatives to attend
the meeting Of the President and the
governors, soon to be held.
Now the retail druggists doubtless
have much to contend with under the
laws regulating the sale of liquor and
narcotics and from their angle think
they see much in need of improve
ment but just why they should as
sumo to be required at a conference
bCl"SOh lilC CACSutl'C VI liO AdtiOii
and the executives of the several
states isn't quite clear. If they hap
pen to know Of any ways by which
they may aid the department of en-
forcement it is possible for them to
secure public attention to the fact
other than by attending, unlimited
such a conference as is proposed.
The counsel Of the Anti-Saloon
League denies the charge, declares il
to be false, and his word is as good as
that Of the counsel Of the National
Association of Retail Druggists. Fur
thermore it goes without the saying
that the retail druggists of the coun-
try can do much to aid in the en-
forcement of laws pertaining to mar
cotics and liquor. Indeed it may be
assumed that a respectable number
of these druggists would gladly do so
that they do not wish their business
to become in any way involved in the
viola ton of law. Whether they are In
the majority is yet to be determined

DIFFERENCES IN RAILROAD
OPINION

Senator Cummins, chairman Of the
Senate committee on interstate COM
merce announces a change of mind
respecting railroad consolidation.
Whereas formerly he favored making
such consolidation compulsory, he
now has concluded that it would be
better to permit the railroads over
term Of years to make their own con-
solicitations. Whether he will be able
to prevail on Congress to this end re-
mains to be seen. He is recognized
as one of the foremost authorities on
railroad legislation.
AT the hearing in Boston, the past
few days, a pronounced difference Of
opinion among practical railroad
managers respecting the kind Of con-
solidation best fitted to New England
railroads was a prominent feature Of
the discussions. It appeared that
what might be best for the railroads
Of Maine, for instance, and for the
people those railroads serve, might
not be satisfactory to the manage
ments Of transportation facilities CEN
tering in Boston and laboring under
financial difficulties. Manifestly the
outlying parts of New England should
not be placed under conditions exact
ing contributions in the nature Of
tribute to other localities and inter-
ests.
The Interstate Commerce commits
sion is by no means Invaluable and
itis not unreasonable to suppose that,
if called upon to prescribe the kind Of
consolidation for New England roads.
1t might make mistakes, whereas II
the roads be left to themselves they
Will cooperate as may seem best for
their interests. What is best for their
interests should be the best for all
concerned. If found not to be. then 1t
would seem. there would be opportun-
ity Tor the Commission to interfere.

time that the situation has many
complications not easily adjusted. An

The next morning after the visit to
the little white house on the hill
where the new baby had come to
stay, the Fairy Queen said to Little
Jack Rabbit:
would you like to see the fairies
work." and calling a little workman
fairy she told him to show the bunny
boy what busy place Fairyland is.
"Oh, there's lots to do" explained
the workman fairy removing his cap
to wipe his forehead with a piece Of
spider-web. II have to sheer the
wool Of the young peaches and spin it
into winter cloaks for delicate fairies.
1 don't know what would become of
us with another such winter as the
last and a short peach crop. Then. l
must turn the grapes and the plums
so that the sun will ripen them and
see that my workmen keep the apples
polished, besides experimenting the
Cobweb Company upon which all
Fairy Land depends for hosiery. You
have no idea what a bother these
spider spinners are. Sometimes they
60 on a strike and won't work.
Then, too, I have charge OF the pal
ace music. Sometimes a katydid
won't sing and pretends she has
cold from sleeping on damp dahlia
and 1 must get DR.. Bee to prescribe
red-clover honey for her sore throat.
"Or, IL Madame Katydid doesn't
happen to have a cold, maybe Signor
Bullfrog who sings base gets balky
and wants more salary and then
must catch flies for his supper before
he will open, his mouth. Dear me:
You've no idea what troubles have.
and the little workman fairy scratch
ed his beard and looked quite sad:
Cheer up" laughed Little JACK
Rabbit, I'm sure the Fairy Queen
considers you a wonderful manager:
Would you care to see the pixies
polishing their lamps?" asked Inc
fairy workman, feeling more cheertul
at the bunny boys words.
II want to see everything In FAIRY
Land" answered Little Jack Rabbit
and SO would I If had been there
and so would you. I'm sure.
