Night on the boulevard comes down
early these evenings.
The exodus of the people from the
city to the suburbs Is not half over When
twilight begins to fall.
Then the air, instead Of being clear,
becomes hay. and the glare Of auto
mobile headlights assumes a new char
acter.
So many are the cars coming north
ward that they fairly illuminate the
street.
Each automobile passes on. with p
swish and q CLEAN Of chromium. but
another succeeds 1t Immediately. so
that the light from its headlights Is
scarcely lost before another CLEAN takes
its place.
Thus the pedestrian has thousand
lamps to light him on his way, instead
Of the few per block which thoughtful
municipality deemed adequate.
There was something trying about The
moving lights, however. The boulevard
was illuminated. and the sidewalk, too,
by the headlights but there was a fit
ting character to the CLEAN which made
the eyes blink.
To think of ali those people coming
home!
1t made the mind shrink, as simple a
task as 1t seemed. Hundreds OF them,
thousands OF them on their way from
downtown to uptown, as it were, and
these thousands only portion of the
tens of thousands who were streaming
out similar boulevards and avenues and
streets.
Street cars ground busily along,
brightly lighted, and containing their
many passengers. The sturdy clang of
the bell was a voice from the past, al
most on this briskly travelled thorough
fare.
A bus came along, its tires making
the slithering noise peculiar to them.
The swift progress If the vehicle was
not halted at every intersection by pas
sengers getting Off, as with the street
cars. and the long vehicle was soon lost
in the gathering gloom of the night.
Far in the west faint patch OF law
ender sky still showed the place OF SUM-
set.
1t would be many minutes yet before 1t
would be entirely gone. but for all prac-
tical purposes night was at hand.
The glare of the automobile lights
was most intense, and the high-Swung
street lights widened the circle of their
glow by several feet as the evening
came on.
It was now o'clock, that witching
hour when thousands Of families sit
down to dinner, even in cities.
And here on the boulevard were hun
dredS of people still hurrying home, in
tent on the family fireside, the evening
paper and a good meal.
All that home meant for them was
still before them. Inside many houses,
however, dinner was in progress. The
fashionable hour OF z, or even of 8
o'clock, has no charm for many.
With the best will in the world they
want to eat before. and If life has so
favored them they will do so. God
willing.
Hence, the old-fashioned gong sounds
out its musical notes from many a din
ing room and people hopefully enter at
this hour, not conscious at all, in the
warmth and cheer of their homes, Of all
this hurrying and scurrying on the
boulevard.
Streets 10 left and right wind away
into the darkness, with here and there
lights cleaning in the distance, but
no way near so many as in the city
proper.
Occasionally great dog, intent on
its ancestral duty to mankind, sets up a

Some old ideas are coming back.
The farmer may find his grain further
increasing in value for personal use If
he can set the old mill wheel going
after all these years and grind the ma
terial for his own bread. 1t would be
hard to revive such custom. yet the
experiment might be worth trying in
an effort to get to basic principles in a
struggle against mechanistic routine in
production and distribution.

Of his prison record. But he cannot be
kept forever in durance, and so the i'm
migration authorities have had to let
him go free. Maybe he can wangle q
citizenship out Of France and return to
his native land and be allowed to take
the oath there under special dispensa-
ton. More than likely, he does not
want to return. So he will probably
stay on here, not a citizen, not capable
of becoming one-verily a man without
country.

When the air Is growing chill and the
sky, across the hill,
No longer shows the coloring 50 proud
There will shine a lingering ray Of a

There's a sunbeam always hangin'

There's a hope for every fear; there's
rainbow in each tear
And q drawer thought in every head
that's bowed
BY the passing weight of grief. There
is promise of relief.
There's q sunbeam always hangin'

Even to the stormy blast there must

allowed.
There's q promise ever true in a silvery
bit of blue.

Fire Destroys South Side
Residence on Wednesday

About six-fifteen Wednesday
afternoon the fire department was
called to extinguish a blaze in the
house belonging to Mrs. Monk on
the soutr side. The building was
Quilted and the contents destroyed.
The house was occupied by Henry
Stoen and "Heinie" Void who have
patched there the past winter.
Void, who was alone in the
house at the time, had just filled
the kerosene stove and was prepar-
ing supper when the stove explod-

The splendid work done by your paper in OPP
posing the gasoline debt bond issue, calls for ex-
pressions of commentator.
Should the ten-cent tax be attacked the decision
will be political one and the newspaper trust
will write the opinion.
The Attorney General says that the Supreme
Court will have to indulge in mind reading to ascer-
tain whether not the present fvecent tax will be
repealed by implication. And no one can read the
minds of Legislators better than the newspaper trust
If the bonds voted the question of five or a

and into the hands of the collectors and spenders

to mortgage the gasoline for period of two
years, without submission to electors. This power

that the promoters (a) in hurry for the full
sum of Six Million Dollars (b) the interest collect
ors wanted to participate for full period of ten
years and (c) the gasoline tax whether five or ten
cents will remain in force irrespective of the wishes
