Templeton Jones was always seeing
statements with which he did not agree.
That one about the pedestrians death
in traffic being due to the pedestrians
carelesSneSS, for instance.
Actually, Jones believed, the poor
mans death was due to an automobile,
powered by motor under the direction
of human intelligence.
Is carelessness, Jones wanted to know,
warrant for death penalty?
Evidently!
No, he said to himself, carelessness OF
the man afoot did not cause his death.
The real reason was the indifference
of the killing motorist to the suffering
and death of others.
If man in a car is not indifferent to
others he will not drive at excessive
speeds, he will always keep in his mind
the possibility that some man or woman
may become careless.
Such a motorist will not be careless,
in turn, for he, alone of the two, pos
sesses the killing power.
Jones believed that one thing is plain:
The present attack on the problem
of killings and maimings on our city
streets and country highways is not
getting results.
1t is not getting results, according to
Jones, because all that is being done IS
to play ball with the question, pitting
the pedestrian against the motorist and
vice versa.
The real issue is not being touched
and that is human nature.
A psychologist, not traffic expert,
Jones believes is what is needed.
The question is, what has happened
to the soul and mind of man, that he
is able to MAIN and kill others for no
other reason than that they may hap
pen to be careless?
The nervous tensions of this age,
greater than in any past one, have done
something TO the nerves OF the Amer
ican man. so that colossal indifference
TO others has arisen.
City life, in particular, with its prac-
teal ending of the old-time feeling
of neighborllneSS, has done something
10 practically every one.
This trend has been plain for many
years to even the most unthinking
person.
The 'noseyness' of small town
people no doubt was one of the factors
which led thousands of persons TO
leave them.
In the city. for time. they found
practical relief from the intrusion. the
gossip, the open the door and walk IN "
spirit of the small towns.
At last it began to dawn on them. how
ever, that the trade they had made was
not altogether advantageous after all.
Something was missing from urban
life, something precious, which they had
so easily tossed away. Was it not

that half our life is spent down on Our

heard bird that caroled as a sun
beam came along
I must admit I thought it was a silly
little song
But if you caught its meaning in a
truly proper way,
1t was about the blue skies and the
blossoming of May.
I heard simple ditty with an often
echoed rhyme
I must admit it seemed a thoughtless
way to pass the time.
And yet it told of pleasures that to
youth are very dear,
Responding many year to reminder
of good cheer.

A Large Crowd Composed
OF Senator Vandenberg

To the Editor of The Star:
I had just finished reading Mark
Sullivan's article in The Star March A.
in which he stated the fact that so
far Senator Vandenberg's speech over
the radio, against packing the court, was
the first made by Republican Senator,
that all other radio addresses were made
by Democratic Senators. When turned
on the radio. to my surprise, I heard
the President state that all those
crying out against his proposal were
the same crowd that tried to defeat him"
NY only conclusion Is the President does
not use his radio.

Old Andirons.

When nights were stormy with wind
and snow
How our brass andirons used to glowl
With the lamps unlighted in the room,
And cleaning andirons routing gloom,
The tales were rollicking that we told;
While the brass andirons shone like gold
On stormy evenings In after years
The old brass andirons bring hot tears.

For several months we have thought
old man winter had left and gone to
other parts, but he must have gotten
tired and returned to his happy hunt
ing grounds in Garrett county-any-
how we have been seeing quite bit
of him lately.
Humans are certainly funny "crit
ters". We fuss if it's too warm and
we cuss if it's too cold. Personally, we
still feel optimistic as regards the
weather. Which reminds us of story
regarding an optimist and pesimist.
They both lived in the same boarding
house. The optimist came in each
morning smiling, sat down at the table
and said: "Will you please pass the
cream?" The pessimist came in with
a growl, sat down and grOwled, SIS
there any milk in that darnedpitcher? ?"
Of course some people. don't know
cream from milk and a lot of them
don't care. After winter there are a
great many of US who don't know good
weather from bad, or wise verse-so

Returns from
Eastern Trip

Highlands w. Hampton, a re-

man, returned home last week end
from an extended trip to Kentucky
and Tennessee. Mr.. Hampton with
his family came west and home
steaded in Franklin county in 1908,
started work for the railroad on
the Idaho division In 1909, making
his home in Pasco until April 18th,
10, 1885, when he bought the Nellie
Wands place from Robert Herman,
where he still lives.
This trip east was long-antici-
pated one, 1t being the first in 40
years. He visited his foster mother,
now 81 years Of age, Mrs. VIM Hut
Crimson, Kenneth and Knox Hutch
inson and other old friends In Fra
zier, Kentucky, also Tom Hutchin-
son Of Oneida, Kentucky. He also
visited Mrs. Nina Brittin Of Som
merset, KY. and Mrs. j. w. West
Of Hartman. Tenn. He says that
one interesting thing Of his trip
was the lack Of silver money, only
paper money being used, except for
small change under q dollar. Wages
there, he states, are 81 day or $40
per month. Dry goods are much
cheaper than here In the west, but
fruits. vegetables and foodstuffs are
higher.
