B. Williams, of the secretary of state’s office, is to be con- gratulated upon his present campaign to make them answer for their criminal atti- tude. For, a glaring headlight is a crime. It blinds the approaching driver and it is just as reprehensible as tho the owner of the glaring headlight threw a lot of red pepper at the man coming toward him in order to blind him. ; a And why a glaring headlight, anyhow? The ordinary auto light is sufficient in 99 cases out of 100 to give one all the light that Skinner & Eddy may operate ships they them- selves built. If they run them as fast as they build them, the ocean speed cops may get after ‘em. On the Desert Western fruit growers are getting rich this year; that is, rich for farmers. We note that one strawberry rancher cleared more than $3,000 from six acres, and expects to clear twice that next year, when his plantation gets into full bearing. That’s fine, and we were all enthusiastic about this back-to-the-soil movement for the family. And in the next column we read a short note, to the effect that the government was furnishing free transpor-| — 250 Montana dry land farmers to get them to ogy adhe fields of Nebraska, where they could get a job to support their families. " "These 250 were a few of the hundreds cleaned out and dried up by the Western drought, and a day’s work in the “harvest field was their reward for all their investment ‘and effort and waiting. : And that gave us pause. We have a fairly adventurous spirit but this farming g , that gives one chap a profit, and that sends 250 "3 miles to look for a job, is a bit too much of a gamble “for even our sporting spirit. 2 Maybe Uncle Sam will discover in time that there are “wide areas in his domain that are not suited to farming, and he will prevent good citizens, faithful workers, eager _agriculturists, from venturing their all of health and for- tune in such fields. : We believe there are still enough farms in this coun- ‘try, where the chances are reasonably sure for a safe re- for the honest worker; enough so that the deserts “the swamps and the wilds need not be dared by in- dividual effort. A real, sure-enough, worth-while farmer is too precious a national asset to risk on a desert these days. Now the cost of living is worrying even President Wilson. Mebbe Mrs. Wilson went out to buy a pair of shoes. . ‘Proving Again Eternal Vigilance Is Price of Liberty. 7, ean | | WHY DiDATT I THINK 7 I miaur HAVE KNOWN Tears /§ WOULD HAPPEN!
