"o’ 4re not informed that there was any serious . 2 ”dury to any of the occupants nor did we see the Uslliiions, and therefore do mot know where the ' e should be ‘Placed, but the fact of the acci- dents ‘compels’ us to express our feelings on_the ‘subject of automobile ‘traffic in our city and espe- ' &ally on Beltrami avenue. " That there have not been fatal accidents caused by careléss; reckless and unlawful driving on this: street is a miracle. Whether the owners and drivers - of cars have become possessed of the idea that there are no speed laws in our city or. whether a number of these drivers think the laws exist for everyone else but themselves. we know not. ' One thing we do know—if every driver who. violates the speed | -dinhfluwmtobeull-donthgqgm@iqthe police chambers it would be the most popular place in the ¢ity if We were to judge from the number . of its visitors. The driving is not confined to men by a long | way, either. eriminal manner, not only on the main street of ‘"’ gur city but on other streets as' well Automobile " tzaffic is becoming too congested in Bemidji to permit speeding or reckless driving. ‘It is now the season when “tourists. are coming to our city {.jn large numbers, and while we are wont to lay Y a'lot of blame on them for the reckless driving done our observations have been. 'that wlth’ few hxceptionu they observe traffic laws much better '* than many of our own' citizens, nd R Before it is too late a radical change should be ' ‘made by out police department in the liberties ' taken by many auto drivers. A few good sized . fines. and a little publicity would go & long way ' towards correcting this trouble. : — ¢ .+ Tombs -of the great, German poets Goethe. and Schiller were recently robbed of gold .and silver, wreaths. .

The police authoritie have run down one clue after another in an effort to fathom the crime with little result. ', ; The man-was supposed to'be wealthy. “He was married, ‘was living apart from his’ wife ‘although not: legally separated. He seemed ‘to ‘be ‘a' great favorite ‘with & certain class of women. Affinities | galore were his—both married ‘and single women— and ‘yet friends and ‘acquiantances; express wonder . / that he should have been murd i |- Considering’ the evidence which has been zivcfi. % the sordidness and rottenness of tiie whole business there should be no wonder at his untimely. end, in fact the wonder is that he did not meet the same fate long before he did." A man cannot ‘with im- punity break the laws of decent living and outrage all ‘morals; ' As sure as he does”so will ‘he pay the penalty. He may escape, the clutches of the law and continue to carry on his vulturous and nefarious existence but retribution will e his in - the ‘end. His. avenger is sure to be one of ‘his one-time paramours or some discarded, or jealous character ‘whose life has been wrecked becanse' of his manipulations. : A mancannot pursue unchecked the depraved desires of a selfish life without inviting the hand of the avenger: and while' it ‘is not ‘possible ‘to justify the deéed of the assassin it“is the logical fulfilling of the doctrine of “an eye for an eye and a- tooth for a tooth.” 4 y . COURTESY TO STRANGERS. . During the last few days there has been a notice- able increase in the number of foreign cars com: ing to our city, and as in previous years.this: number will increase’ during ‘the summer ‘months. Many of these cars are tourists coming to spend a . week. or more in Bi;q‘idji‘ and others are ‘merely ' passing through., They are all strangers, however,: ‘and roads in'this vicinity are strange to:them. Many of us have been away from home on strange roads and have been glad to meet with: people ‘who would give us information: desired ‘about' roads and other matters. - Let us not-forget’ that when these strangers are looking for information from us. Treat them as you would guests, that is what they are while inour city. . There is this difference’: —they_are good paying guests. TIf necessary 'go: out of your wsy a little to accommodate them. They may he passing this way again and they will P not forget, these little: courtesies. : i ——— Wisconsin democratic committee says: The dem- ocratic party now has the opportunity to gather in the solid women’s: vote.” ' Yes, but-in catering to the “solid” women they may give unforgettable . offense to the ‘thin women. - Now that women are really in politics, it will be necessary to employ the: most di.scree't: language 'in speaking about them. | — - o s L ~ .. /An_ English hen :22° years old has laid an egg. : The example ‘in_ production’ set by thiz yeteran is _one that might well be .copied by, all the 'hen ' ““family. .

THAN A CESSPOOL i/ With running water provided in ) Bome provision must . be made ‘$or the resulting waste. Lacking a gewer system, the discharge ‘18 of- . gem into the common cesspool, which . §s merely a cistern ‘or storage 'pit, #n sandy or otherwise porous soil, three or four feet square, 12'to 20 geet deep and loosely curbed or planked. No provision is made for earrying off the ‘waste from the cess .pool, as it is expected that the liquid waste will readily seep into the sur- fsounding soil. i H. B. Roe, agricultural engineer at University Farm, finds the drawback ‘fo the ‘cesspool quite definite. - A suit- ; 'ablesofl in Which:to dig is not al- ways present; in time the surround- g 8011 becomes saturated or plugged with the solid and semi-solid- waste matter; the cesspool is then quickly #illed beyond capacity and overflows the surface with ~offensive liquid waste 50 that a new pit must be dug and curbed from time to time;. seep- age of the waste through the soil is ‘" apt to cause serious pollution of well . ‘water strata in the vicinity. i A practical alternative to the cess- pool is the septic tank, says Mr. Roe. The tank, which usually . has ‘two hambers separated by a baffle; con- sts essentially of a ‘watertight con- ‘erete box set below the ground to ex- clude #l1 the light and most of the afr.
