Why the Hurry?
(Aberdcen, S. D., American

aberdeen, s. D., Amcrican)
Why do all these autos rush around at such high
speed? Is time very precious to these drivers,
that they must tear up and down the streets such
breakneck speed, cndangerng the lives of the people
at each crossing and corner? Some of these hur-
rying drivers may be in rush to make train
meet some appointment, but we arc inclined
to think that very large per cent of them could
drive at decent rate of speed and still not dscom
mode themselves at all. We heard of three young
men who lived in the country, who, every Saturday
night after work was over on the farm, would crank
up the and speed to- the little country town at
GO miles an hour. What did they do when they
reached town? Just sat around the pool hall during
the evening. We admire the doctor who steps on
the gas and goes at top speed to try to life.
We like to see folks get there" when necessary,
but this idea of everybody being in such hurry
all the time is the bunk.

Free on the Slave

The remnants Of the laundering herd continue to

at galop, away from the brink Of extinction. Two
thousand fine young animals are to be shipped by

Slave river, where they may at will again.

What's the Rush?

John Godstrom, American aviation expert and
writer, is on his way around the world hoping to
break the record for circumnavgaton of little less
than 36 days, set in 1913 by John Henry Mears, New
York Sun reporter
Goldstrom will steamships, automobiles and

And a little later on, shooting, some
one will come along and break Goldstrom's record.

around the world. In that way enjoy ourselves

An Army Of Grafters
Chicago Journal Of Commerce

Chicago Journal Of COmnlerce)
Mr.. Coolidge was ill-advised when he signed the
executive order authorizing the appointment Of any
state, county, or municipal officer a prohibition
enforcement agent 1t is probable, many wet
senators and dry senator's join in contending, that
this authorization is illegal. At any rate it is un-
WISE
For one thing, it is unwsc because it wipes on;
state lines 1t permits an Illinois constable or sher
if to over into Wisconsin to pursue an Of
fender Extreme examples of this permission WOULD
occur if Chicago policeman, deputized as federal
prohibition enforcement agent, were to make an ar.
rest in Bakersfield, CAL. while on vacation, if
village marshal from Kansas were to arrest pro
hibticn violator in Baltimore
Resentment would be aroused at arrests by officers
from other states all the more SO as some Of these
officers would false charges of prohibition viola
ton a pretext for getting defendants back t.
their own states to face state charges of another ma
ture, without the proper safeguard Of cxtraditiM
proceedings.
But apart from this wping out Of state lines ths
executive order is even more offensive because il
would at once create great army Of grafters anc
blackmailcrs This is true because the federal gov
eminent could not have effective control over 1t:
new deputies.
No man can serve two masters. Every fedora
agent at present IS directly responsible every day
superior officer; he be called to account for hi
time and his acts; he has only one responsibility.
General Andrews cannot hold such control over :
Gary policeman whom he appoints deputy. That
man is policeman; he works eight ten or twelve
hours day. under the control of chief Of police
General Andrews cannot send this policeman out or
job for two three days. he cannot effectively re-
quire him to tell where he yesterday Afternoon
at 3:15.
This policeman, therefore, will have new powe'
without being responsible to anybody. Neither his
chief Of police nor General Andrews will be able II
control him in his capacity q prohibition agent
What win that mean! It will mean graft on .
colossal scale.
NJ. Coolidge has been ill-advissd.

"SANDY":: !

But her head throbbed and nc was
putting his arm around her-he was
kissing her eyes-trying to draw her
face to his shoulder.
She moved away-."It's hot in
here"
"Thcn we'll lake . ride"
It made no difference IL she stay
cd in the room or went out--no diff
ference.
They were on the road along the
lake. It was . balmy night. In the
waters were long, shimmering ripplcs
Of pink and gold-all the spiendor of
the sunset reflected so gently. And
across were the Nevada mountains
quiet, majestic, vast. y
Sandy's thoughts went to other
nights when she had watched tho
moon floating over the Santa Bar
bara hills and Jimmy or someone
else had said such light, happy things.
Murlllo stopped the car. He put
his arm about her. He didn't know
that she was miles removed from
him-fcelings that were poison be-
tween. That she wanted to cry out
aches"
This air will brace you. You'll
feel better"
He was contcnted now. He liked
sitting low in the car. Sanfy's hair
against his chin or, her profile and
her long whitc throat turned that
he might see. He liked her soft
hands with the skin .of them like
petals, clasped between his own.
Ho began to tell her how beautiful
she was-how happy he would make
her.
There wasn't so much that he
demanded, was there? She saw that
he was right, didn't she? She was
u queen-hc wished her to rcmcm-
Der ito win the respect she sould
have
She closed her eyes, not wanting
Ito Sec the mountains-not want
ing to feel that warm, piny. breeze.
She wondered why she should be
sitting therc-why her life had turn
ed into this grotesque terrible
mockery.
She thought desperately: II have
to 60 back into that room with him.
We're married. So everything is all
right-I'm his wife"
Hours later she lay staring into
the darkness. She counted the
thumping Of her heart. Murillo's
arm was across her shoulder.
She lifted it cautiously. watching
his face. The mouth puffed in and
out with his warm breath.
She turned quickly, crept from the
bed. She sat the window. That
tree was so delicate with that soft
haze drifting through the branches
and the night air was SO clcan-so
high and clean. She began to cry.
She cried with shame and a feeling
Of terrible outrage feel Of degrade
ton.
She wondered what she was 60
ing to do.
