While there Is a general opinion that the recent legislature failed I to enact many new laws, the acts published this week contain 883 pages and there arc many changes I that we will have to acquaint ourselves with it we wish to be good ‘ law abiding cituena. The Toronto Globe and Empire I is against the New Deal and berates those who have instigated it Just why they are ao exercised is i a little difficult to understand and the reeling seems to be ao strong that we are Inclined to believe the articles are being written by some ambitious member ot the GUP. The new acta published this week include some eighty pages on highway traffic regulations that makes plain just what the laws are for drivers of vehicles and define* in detail what the driver must do. It will be well tor each car owner to familiarise himself with the long list of regulations. (Settlement of the Briggs strike at Detroit has put seventy thousand men back to work, which is good news U> most ot us who don t know what the fuss is all about.

Perhaps It should be shoved out further in the ocean but It certainly should not be a place ao comfortable that the prisoners will approve or enjoy It. Most of the prisoners there are killers who deserve no sympathy. A Kokomo man who has suffered from rheumatism for years happened to get a good bee stinging several years ago that made him forget his other ills and aches. When he suffered another attack of rheu mutism thia week, he borrowed a hive of bees and let them play over his body. So fat be haan t felt the old pains but has plenty of new ones. The cure seems about aa bud ns the disease. Ea< h summer about one hundred » people drown in the lakes and rivers of Indiana, making a part of a total of several thousand In ” the United States The sad part of It Is that nearly every accident of this kind Is due to carelessness. Children should be taught the danger of getting Into water over their beads, in using leaky boats. In paddling canoes In deep water aud In the other dangerous practises. The king and queen ot EugJffi have been well received In the

United State*, have acted demoIcraltcally and have built good will. They will no doubt leave this country with a kindly feeling and no • doubt the people here will have a kindlier attitude towards the BritI Ish royalty. They have been entertained iu Washington the past two ‘ days, and will go ,to New York I City for u visit to the world fair, j then on to Nova Scotia and back I to their beloved Loudon. ——— ' The new law regulating bicycle , , riders Is now effective and those , who Indulge In thia splendid exer-1 clue arc again warned to learn the regulations and obey them.

I must have a lamp if you ride at night aud must observe the same I t raffle signals as is required tor other vehicles. Parents are accountable for their children and the penalties are severe. BELOW THE BELT: Stephen T. Early, secretary to, I President Roosevelt has written a 1 convincing and worth while article > which appears this week in the, Saturday Evening Post aud which I contains many truths and an appeal to the fairness, sportsman-' ship and decency of the American . people. Discussing the editorial, the Indianapolis Star says: Americans lean backward in, their almost frensied determination to preserve the right of free ' speech, press and assembly. They | tolerate many nuisances and evils | lest attempted suppression might seem to jeopardize even inferentialiy those fundamental privileges. The same spirit of fairness is reflected in our sports. The typical • rowd always is ready to applaud a brilliant play by opponents, even though it may result in defeat for the home team. Some inconsistencies appear, however, between the fairness so universally present among spec-I tutors at an athletic contest and the lack ot that virtue in Interpreting the acts of individuals prominent in public affairs. A blow which lands below the belt not ouly penalizes the offender, according to rules of the ring, but incurs the vigorous condemnation ot the prize light audience. Unfortunately. there are few rules to punish a foul which results when a low i blow Is delivered at character. An implied appeal for greater. diacriminaiion on the nation's part' in distinguishing between fact and rumor and between hunvat criUclsm and base inuunedo is made by Htepheu. T. Early, secretary to the President. In sn article appearing In the current Saturday Evening Post. It is headed: ‘Below the Beit." The writer describe* the mass of slanderous, untrue and unfair I reports about Mr. Roosevelt and hie friends which have been manufactured by character asssslns nd passed along by word of mouth, I printed or otherwise given currency. Bitterness toward Mr. Roosevelt personally, political mo tlves and efforts to foment clans, racial and religious strife are all involved In the whispering campaigns. Mr. Early cite* several widely circulated rumors whose falsity easily could be established by any one availing himself of public records, Many reports insist that various sums up to 6100.000 a year had been paid to the President's , mother for uso of her Hyde Park home as the summer White House. The writer deciares indisputable evidence proves that not a penny was spent for such purpose*. A favorite charge I* the alleged assessment of taxpayer'* tor Mr. I Roosevelt* political jaunt*. Mr. Early say* that, with the exception of 1837. the President ba* turned back to the Treasury each year an unexpended balance of the 626,000 appropriated to meat traveling and entertainment expensea.

Allegation* of outright personal dishonesty, protection of criminals.' false reports of impending physical I collapse, intrigues with alien or un-1 American conspirator* and similar canards have been busily circulated. This article by the presidential secretary may induce some citixens • ito refrain from abetting su< h attacks. Mr. Roosevelt's executive j acts, policies and sympathies in the foreign and domestic held are' a fair target of criticism by those who may regard one or all of them contrary to the welfare of the United States and it* people. The Star has assailed parts of his pro-1 gram and will continue to disagree with New Deal measures that threaten political, economic and j social stability. Questioning the resident's pol- i t ides is remote from impugning hi* a personal integrity.
