Morton CONGRESS Charles E. Winter WHEN AN ACCIDENT IS NOT AN ACCIDENT (Editorial) The driver of an automobile, with ■or without (moonshine), attempts to “beat” another “to it’’ at a narrow point in the road. After the victims of the two machines are carted off to the hospital or the undertaking par lors, their friends look sad and say: “What a terrible accident.” Now, the facts of the matter are' there was no accident at all. It was cause and effect, in its most logical form. The man who takes fool chanc es, ignoring the simple rules of safety and common sense, when driving h car, is in the same class as the man ■who sits smoking on a powder keg, and the chances are that the services of the undertaker will be called in be-' fore they have reached their allotted span in life. And it won’t be an acci dent, either. It is the natural se quence of causes and results. A man driving down a steep, crook ed grade with brakes he knows to be defective, has no right to claim “hard luck” while recuperating at a hospital. A logical cause brings a logical re sult. The matter of safety in driving has been written about to the extent of volumes, but in spite of it all people go right on violating the simplest rules of driving, hit a 50-mile gait on a fifteen mile ro?ld and still profess to -wonder why hospitals and undertak ers rapidly attain to affluence. Everyone regrets an automobile ac cident, but they will continue to oc cur with pronounced regularity so I long as people continue to defy com mon sense nidrivlng. WHY SO SMALL? An eastern man has sent an inquiry relative to the location of Cody as the Bite for a bottle factory and states that he proposes to erect one with a capacity of a carload a week. Why not build one at least adequate, *to supply the home trade? The manu-' facturera of either the Hart Mountain i or Monument Hill industrial districts! could use the entire output and holler for more.

Such au thorities as the Literary Digest, how ever, are more concerned in sounding the sentiment of those on the outside. Home Philosophy.

The Still That Mother Used To Use (From Our Own Heart Songs of Hearth and Home) A Sheriff once did make a raid Upon a humble home And pinched a man who in it laid And drank there all alone. An Angel Child of sweet sixteen As the stil was took away Shed tears up o n the h oo ch machin e And to him then did say: Chorus: ft O Sheriff, do not take the Still t ha t Mother used to use Before she died she used to fill my Papa up with booze. With raisins and con r meal and yeast his daily rum did make, And now she’s j o in e d the Angel band we keep it f o r her sake! The widowed man did join the plea: With eyes all weak and red. He kneeled upon his feeble knee And also tears he shed. He says his daughter’s hair was gold Although his own was gray, And to the Sheriff’s heart so cold These wirds he then did say: “O Sheriff, donot take the Still her Mother used to use,” etc. The Sheriff was not quite a beast, He thought that he could hear A song that out of heaven eased Itself into his ear, An Angel Voice that joined the plea Os he whose hair was gray, And he fell on his bended knee When the Angel Voice did say: “O Sheriff, do not take the Still her Mother osed to ose,” etc. And then spoke dp the widowed man, “How sad that I did strike My Angel Wife with heavy hand And end our wedded life! Within my dreams I hear her moan Like ere she passed away! The Still she left within our Home, I crave you, leave it lay!” | “O Sheriff, do not take the Still,” etc. The Sheriff's tears fell down his face, He was an honest man, And turning to them in that place Held out his rugged hand; He said, “Your daughter’s hair is gold My heart she’s stole away, If she’ll take me to have and hold I The still shall be let lay!” “The Sheriff will not take the Still her Mother used to use,” etc. I His stony heart no more was faint But melted in his breast. The daughter then his plea did grant,. They had a wedding feast, An Angel Voi c e fell from the skies To give the bride away, They heard its words with sobbing eyes As it to them did say: “The Sheriff will not take the Still that Mother used to use! Before she died she used to fill the Papa up with booze, With raisins and conrmeal and yeast his daily rum did make, And now she’s joined the Angel Band j they keep it for her sake!” —New York Sun.
