It is not unlikely that part of the lawlessness that is so prevalent throughout the United States may be traced to the attitude which boys and youths have been permitted to assume toward officers of the law. It is no longer an uncommon thing to hear policemen spoken of disrespectfully. It is not claimed that the highest type of men can always be secured for places on the police force, but as a rule they are men who are inter- ested in the welfare of the people as far as they are able to protect them and otherwise serve them. They are representatives of the law, and as such they are respected by law-abiding persons. There is a disposition on the part of certain classes to “talk back” at a policeman or other officer of the law—to make slurring remarks to others regarding them or to commit acts of a taunting character. It is a practice that should be rendered unpopular by more severe penalties. Persons of all ages should be impressed with the fact that policemen are employed to protect the interests of all by enforcement of the regula- tions made for the welfare of the public. If dis- courtesy is shown to officers of the law the offenders should be taught a lesson that will be good for themselves and for others similarly disposed. PSR N IF FOR NO OTHER REASON. In view of the fact that statistics show that some where around 25 to 35 per cent of the automobiles HERE’S A GOOD ONE. Years ago politicians paid very liberally for press “dope” given them by the newspapers. More re- cently they supplied the “dope” and requested the papers to run it, observing the release date, and today we are in receipt of an article, “political dope,” accompanied by a letter requesting us to send $3 for the exclusive use in our city. What do you think of that? The mails will not permit us to express ourselves in words fitting the occasion. Yes, it’s ndtional propaganda and it is copyrighted, too. TS The Russnan-Pohsh peace conference will be transferred from Minsk to Riga, probably because there is more to eat in the latter place. PN It does a pedestrian a-lot of good some times to stop long enough to see a traffic cop ‘make an automobile driver obey the rules. P Fugene V. Debs, who is also running for presi- dent, has delivered his first speech. Mr. Debs is con- ducting a side window campaign. P The collection basket in church is really about the only place you can get value for your nickel any more. e e Perhaps the concerns that formerly made cork- screws are now engaged in the manufacture of can openers. PO Mexico is working hard to reduce its army of five thousand generals. There are also some pri- vates. o How will all this needed reform be brought about if a woman votes the same ticket her husband does? PR The man with a cellar stock will soon have the excuse of going down to stoke the furnace. O What has become of the old-fashioned hostess who always urged you to have another helping? 0- There is usually indigestion in the family where the can opener is the chief kitchen tool. Pt The average blgot is a person who does not know what he believes but is sure it is all right.

Palmer Cost no more. Ask for circular C-93. . g i ' registered escape a personal tax, we are wondering ol if this fact alone isn’t sufficient to justify the passage of some law which will check up on these tax dodgers. ‘While Amendment No. 1 provides for the eliminae tion of all personal tax on automobiles, if the amendment passes every owner applying for a li- cense for his automobile will be taxed according e o R T ey ST e e e to a certain formula, and all owners will be taxed by the same method without any chance of escape or juggling of figures. In the past we know only too well that many of the assessors were either incompetent or negli- gent and a large amount of the taxable property- was not assessed at its true value, and it is high time that we were getting away from this slip-shod method of taxing automobiles. If the automobiles are going to build the roads, every machine should contribute its just portion and this is exactly what is provided in the so-called Babcock Plan.—Sparks. PRESN COMMENTS—THAT’S ALL (By BXCHANGE EDITOR) A St. Paul legislator says he will introduce a-bill in the coming session of the leglaluture to establish a couri of domestic relations, the mission of which will be to heal family jars, and prevent divorces. It will take a brave man to accept the job of pacifier.

A man likes to flatter himself when he discovers that his conscience still has some life. 0— A dollar may not go as far as it used to, but it certainly goes a darn sight faster.
