FISH SWALLOWING THE HOOK

We are coming to the belief that in every town
or city there should be elected tried and truthful
man of the same character and elected for the
same purpose in adjoining towns cities and cross
roads, to advise the tourist as to the actual cond-
tion of roads through the section of the country
he wishes to travel 1t might be well to exchange
these duly elected, reliable and trustworthy Of
ficials from their own home town to other points
as is done with superior Judges in case there was
complaint to their being disqualified. This sort
of scheme we believe would not only protect the
poor innocent tourist, but would be a wonderful
help in keeping one community from battling an
other when the innocent tourist berated the last
road and the last community he passed through.
It isn't the average understanding tourist who
realizes that while the roads he is going over
during storm may be pretty much like condl-
Lons happen in his old home section, it is the SUI
one whose old home section never
allowed it to storm when he notified the author
tiles that he n Lizzy intended to take a stroll;
the super-tourist which every hotel of any size
knows the minute he hits the clerk. The one who
knows the proprietor or most of the stockholders
of the outfit, if he isn't attended to pronto," he
shall make it his duty to "advise the manage
mer1t." Mebby the scenery does not suit hinf and
he intends taking this up with the government
just as soon as he can get his mouth closed long
enough to get the sunburn off his teeth.
Every stopping place this super-tourist makes
gets the gaff. The average garage man or SER
vice station man is more or less new at the game
and he swallows the hull dope, gaff and all. The
average hotel men who gets into place where
he is delegated to handle men and women, tour
lists and super tourists, knows the travelling pub
lie and he takes the peddled CUFF as the old stuff
and wise as he is to the world of travel, does not
hand it out as "hot stuff" to the man east or west
of him. 1t will take long time to educate garage
men along the line up to the standard of the hota
men, but it won't be long before they should be
able to pass the word along instead of trying to
start something" that only reacts and Injuries the
whole section of the country, themselves included.
Quite number of years ago it was one of the
most amazing things to sit around a camp fire and
listen to someone of some cattle or sheep outfit
pick load" into some outfit present repre-
sented. The other representative of the other out
fit handed in his share of the same commodity.
The amusing thing was that each outfit went
home accepting the "bulP' the other fellow had
peddled and scattered it broadcast real truth.
Both contending representatives knew they were
lying, freely, fervently and with malice afore-
thought, but each swallowed the other fellows

That's pretty much the way it is with our road

FACING HARD FACTS

It is amazing what fool ideas are put forth IN
the way of new laws to stop the great wave OF
crime" sweeping over the country. Prohibiting
the sale of pistols and shotguns or the Volstead
act is not going to do it. hammer, rock, club
or an ak are equally efficient to potential muir
derer lust as are the ingredients for making illicit
booze on every hand. We can make prohibition
laws until doom'S day.
The only laws which will eventually prevail,
have their inception in the great American nome
and are supplemented by education Il on the
threshold of fe there is no inbred inspiration Tor
the better and nobler things held out by clvllza-
ton, what hope is there that a mere law viii
correct the fault?
Parents pass the buck. They are too kind and
loving" to object to their sons and daughters go
ing to questionable places of amusement, but are
the first to demand that laws be passed prohibit
ing every possible chance of place where their
sons and daughters may fall into evil ways. They
seem to have no control over their children, con-
seouently want laws made for their special bene-
fit. Parents are to blame for the very existence
of the various places where their children go
astray If parents as rule exercised the proper
control there would be little profit in conducting
such places.
1t is true there are exceptional cases and condl-
tions but the big underlying truth is that the law
can never take the place of parental guidance and
authority.

TOILET REPAIRS

The Santa Fe is building five million dollar
terminal station at Dallas, Texas. They built a
$500 terminal at Flagstaff some forty years ago
and it is still permanent and evidently is to be
their terminal effort so far as Flagstaff is con-
cerned. If any other business concern in the
world treated their patrons the way they are ac-
commodated at Flagstaff, they would have no bus
mess Unless, of course, it was the state and it
hired a warden to prevent its patrons" leaving
it. Pres. Storey says he never heard before
that the people desired decent accommodations in
order to transact business with his company at
this point. His answer to Flagstaff sounds like
the astounded exclamation of the country hotel
keeper in answer to patrons complaint about
the community towel: "a hundred people have
used that air towel an you're the fust one I've
heard complaint

NEW YORK CITY VS.. AMERICA

Too many foreigners including residents of
New York City, feel that you have done Amer
lea when you visit New York City. This is one
great reason why Europeans do not understand
America They may get a smattering of what our
foreign element think, which element is mainly
New York City, but they forget that there is
quite strip of back country that New York does
not represent or even resemble. New York City
is not particularly American, except as it allows
the statue of liberty to decorate the harbor The
really hated thing about New York City is that it
apes Europe. It is the dumping ground Of Eu-
ropes worst. The news is manufactured at New
York City for European consumption and is ac-
cepted in Europe as typical American stuff. !"
New York City has made America ridiculous in
all Europe. New York City is filled with the J..
Rufus Wallingford element of all the United
States-they naturally gravitate to that center
because it is the easiest field for their peculiar
activities of graft. Europe, so far has accepted
New York City as typical American. Typical
hell! 1t is the dumping grounds for the criminals
of the whole world.
