The mania for weed which seems

The state laws regulate traffic at all
Intersections to a speed of 12 miles
per hoar so that Ignorance of the
law coujd not be advanced and
would not be of any avail if It were.
This law, If observed would curtail
accidents to a very large extent. It
was demonstrated that this man
could stop his car In a distance o f
little more than half it » own length
when traveling at 12 milea per hour.
Thus the Injury of a respected citi
zen and his possible death might
have been avoided by simply observ

penalty for violation of this law
should be made so heavy that It
would be respected. The penalty

wonderful resources. Many of them
are still latent and need only a more
full development tp bring this state
Into its rightful prominence. Some
of the things which we noted be

lands, timber, harbors, water power,

Newport evidenced what a small
community can do in the way of
making themselves felt In a large
way when they cooperated with Cor

them further entertainment through

made good. Theirs Is only a. com
