Washington Post. Discipline the Motor Mad Efforts of the city council to enforce the motor laws will be heartily appreciated by the public. Refusal to obey the statutes has become chronic with many motor drivers and their encroach ment upon public rights stamps them as public nuisances, when not public menaces. The appalling lists of . automobile accidents, almost .daily reported, testify to the contempt of the motorists for life and law. Nine-tenths of the accidents, and 99 percent of the fatal ities reported, are due to wilful violation of traffic ordinances designed to ensure public safety. 4 ' ,The lax enforcement of the law, the failure to vigorously punish offenders, has bred a contempt of the law on. the part of speed maniacs and reckless drivers. Failure of courts to im pose proper punishment, the leniency of juries in releasing homicides without reprimand, the complacency with which auto mobile murdering and maiming are regarded, has placed a premium on crime. If restoration of hanging was necessary to check murder, prison sentences are certainly necessary to check manslaughter by motors and inculcate in the minds of the motor m,ad a "decent respect for the opinions of mankind." The operation of trucks and cars in city streets with cut-outs open, which is defiantly continued in the face of public protest land prohibitory statutes, is blatant and noisy testimonial of the disregard of the driver for the comfort of the community. Such offenders should be treated as public pests, and the people will heave a sign of relief if the protracted period of official lethargy is drawing to a close. ' , siaC..xpv Pti WM BB 1 B !riil SV ARTHUR SCOTT BAILKY Rippling Rhymes Homesick Jack Johnsing, of the golden smile, remained abroad for quite a while. And when he left our well known shore he thought he would no more, for prison dors were swinging wide, with ward ers beckoning, inside. He'd lead a glad free life abroad, and gain and blow a princely wad, and chum with foreign earls and dukes and baronets and other flukes. Hei stood the gaff for sight long years, still gazing homeward through his tears; at last he rose and cried, "Oh, gee, my native land looks good to me I These foreign countries all grow stale I'd rather be at home in jail !" Said Emma Goldman, when she went, "Your boasted land's not worth a cent; I shake its dust from off my boots; it's ruled by grafters and' by plutes; in Russia they've the proper plan It's founded on the rights of man." She's had some months of Rus sia now, and grief is throned upon her brow. She, like a dead game sport, .admits that she is tired of Russia's fits, and she would give ner rouer sicat.es to see again tne good old States. Unhappy is that weary wight who to this country says, "Good night," who sees the lights upon our shore, and knows he'll see them never more. A Terrible Song . It was no wonder that Freddie Fire fly grew uneasy again as he listened to the song of Peppery Polly Bum blebee, while they flew towards the clover field . through the darkness.

"For heaven's sake, Katherlne, do not be so tragic. You know that I have never cared for that house .down in the country and I see no reason why you should Keep it jusi to provide a resting place for your mother's maid." "Keep still, John. I don't want to feel more exasperated and more dis appointed In you than I am." , .., John looked up as though to speak again, but I held up my-hand. -"I don't know just when the time came, John, when you first began to grow tired of me, but I think, per haps. It was when you found out that I was a real human being in stead of the plaything you evidently had meant me to be. Something with no mind you thought me, ex cept as I reflected yours; and no am bltlon, except that which might be long to a petted cat that would purr as it .basket in the warmth of your smile." Going to Tell the Truth "Oh, yes, I know," I said, as rioted the gray look come over his face and the smile of sarcasm trans form his mouth into a thing of ugli ness. "You are thinking that I am pOBing as an abused angei; but won't you please just for once take me as honestly saying exactly what I think. Won't you try to understand? For I am going to tell you the plain truth even if it is not put into the plain ugly language which you so often have used. John, I don't think you ever have loved me. I think the woman you have really cared for is Elizabeth Moreland." "Are you going back -to that, again?" "Stop Hear me out for upon what I am saying and upon what you shall decide depend our future lives. I do not know Just what it is that attracts a man momentarily; that take him off his feet. I do not know why it is that some women will have this attraction for some men and leave others cold, but I do know, John, that I have given you that strange magnetic thrill. I know that the first time you met me you felt it as I did, and from then until our marriage you thought of nothing ex cept that I should belong to you But after all. John, you and I have very little In common. I can not be hypocritical, I must Be frank. Tou In your brutally masculine way have overruled and overrun all the women folk you have had about you. It has annoyed you greatly when I, the first woman you have ever known to do so, have stood up to you, hold ing my own even though your blows always reached my heart I reoeived this letter the other day. If you will look you will see that it is addressed to me. I do not know whether Eliza beth Moreland intended me to have this letter, and sent it to me in this way purposely, or whether she was writing to you at the same time and got tne notes mixed. But it was Just after my child was born, John, and I made up my mind that I would come here and fight for my own, Then, if I found that you still wanted her more than you wanted me, I determined I should take my baby and go away, back to that little haven of rest which had come to me from my mother, and to her from her mother, and on back through gen erations that I have hardly counted. It belonged to me and mine. But you have taken this refuge from me with a Cruelty that might be thought less, but which you must have known would be barbaric In its torture of nie if you had stopped to think at all on the subject." John had not read the letter, and said to him. "Read it!" He opened it mechanically. He turned ashen as he read the first line. And then he looked at me and said,' "At least! one woman has loved me, even though she knew that I did -not love her." that you do not love Elizabeth More land?" "Of course I don't. I guess I have been born without the power to love any woman. The nearest I have come to loving was in loving you. You mean to me what I want. A woman to be the mother of my child ren. A woman to grace my home. A woman who can give evidence of my prosperity. . That Elizabeth More land never could do. What are you going to do, Katherlne? You are not foolish enough to make i mis jaie aay. .Perhaps you are only looking for something that will give you an excuse to get rid of me. You know that I could make it un comfortable for you if I put a copy of those letters from Karl Shepherd in any dviorce proceedings that you might institute." "How little you understand women John. - If anytning would make me get a divorce that threat would do "Then you won't get a divorce?" he asked easrerlv. t "Not if you accede to my terms. I shall never live with vnn ,, a .,n that sone. And I flatter X Hiauo l' , oh,Mit the worst I ever heard." To Freddie Firefly's relief she seemed quite pleased. He was able to draw a deep breath again as they reached the field of red i ,.,. where Peonery Polly Bum- M.h.. aprtied oulckty upon a clover- top and began sucking up the sweet nr.fra,. with her lone lonKUC. a- some time she worked busily without saying a word. And inuee,a, now could she have spoken with her ton gue burried deep in the heart of a clover blossom? But when she withdrew her tongue and fitted from one clover-top to another, she never failed to fix her wicked eyes on Freddie Firefly and demand "more light and be quicK about it!" Since no harm had yet fallen him, he began to wonder after1 a while if Peppery Polly's bark was not worse than her bite or perhaps it would be better to say that he wondered if her song was not worse than her sting. Anyhow, he knew that he was very tired of her masterful way of speaking to him. And he soon deter mined to play another trick on her. "Here's a big blossom you haven't tasted!" he called to her suddenly, And Peppery Polly thinking that Freddie meant a clover blossom hastened to a bloom that Freddie pointed out to her. She settled upon it quickly. And the next moment Peppery Polly gave a shary cry of mingled rage and pain. "What's the matter?" Freddie Fire fly asked her. "Matter?" she exlaimed. "It's s thistle and I've pricked myself bad ly." "Why, so it is a thistle blossom!" said Freddie Firefly. "It's about the same color as a clover head; and suppose you didn't know the differ ence in the dark." "The question is, did you know the difference?' Peppery Polly scream -for she was terribly angry. Really, I must decline to answer 'Quite right!" said Peppery Polly. 1 when you speak to me in such a "Here's a bis blossom you haven't tasted!" The chorus, especially, filled him with ninrm And he shuddered as the disagreeable honey-maker sang it: . "I've never Warned to take a joke; So if you try to trick me, My sting in you I" quickly poke You'll find that it will prick ye! It feels like fire though twice as hot. And I would rather sting than not!" "How do you like that?" Peppery Polly Inquired, after she had finish ed her song. "You have a beautiful voice," Fred die Firefly hastened to tell her. "Yes of course!" she agreed. "But I refer to the words. What do you think of them?" "I think they're awfull!" Freddie Firefly cried; for his companion had scared the truth out of him before he stopped to think how it would, ed sound. tone." said Freddie Firefly. And he was quite surprised that the furious honey-maker didn't dart towards him and try to sink her sting Into him. But nothing of th. ', " me sort . And Freddie soon Polly was In some k. 4 as I ' .
