AUTO SPEEDING IS GETTING STARTED

A Few Drivers Persist in Violating the Law That Seeks to Give Public Protection. ; Already the speed fools have gjot hold of the drive wheel of a few automobiles and the consequence is a totaT disregard for the law establishing a limit of speed inside the corporation. A smooth strip of road looks very tempting but the law commands that the driver be not tempted by it. There are several in Rensselaer whose names are not unknown to the justice courts who will doubtless be dealt with very severely if again apprehended for speeding and there are a number who by. the fortune of not having been seen by an officer have never been arrested, but who are in the habit Of driving with reckless speed. There is ho possible excuse for drjving faster than the lawful speed. If you are needed at the other end you will get the same results by starting earlier. So far there has never been a bad automobile accident in Rensselaer. Almost every town hereabouts have had children killed by careless driving. But this may result here at almost any time. The reckless driver takes the chance of becoming a child murderer whenever he exceeds the speed limit or does not exercise every precaution against accident. Let it be hoped that auto owners and chauffeurs will be mindful of the law and of the rights of pedestrians and of the fact that children are frequently playing in the streets or dart across the streets while at play and let them all exercise every precaution. If they find the speed mania* uncontrollable, let them go to the country where the danger is not great to any but themselves.

First Time in More Than a Hundred Tears That Executive Has Delivered Message Thus. Under democratic domination the United States congress opened in extraordinary session Monday for the consideration of the tariff and monitary questions. Today President Wilson broke a precedent of a century and by word of mouth delivered his message to congress. This caused considerable criticism in the Senate and oldtimers among the lawmakers shook their heads in disapprpval of the president’s action. Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, deprecated the action and said he did not think it quite proper for the president to thus enter the halls of congress and said he hoped it never would occur again. He said it would not aid- in bringing about that for which the people are clamoring. There was a big scramble for special tickets to the galleries and it is certain that the president Will have a big hearing, even if his action does not meet approval. What the object of the president is no one seems able to tell. The custom has been to send the message and have it read by a clerk.

T. F. Warne's Brother Lost Everything in Flood.

T. F. Warne, of Parr, has a brorir er in Ganesville, Ohio, who lost everything except a few bed clothes and some articles of wearing apparel in the flood. The water was up to the second story of their house but they were saved. It was not only the big cities of Dayton, Hamilton, Columbus, and Zanesville that suffered heavily, but all the towns and hamlets in central and southern Ohio and it is probable that much of the damage in the smaller places will never receive mention in the big papers.

Just unloaded a car of Wisconsin seed potatoes: “Triumph,” or “Six Weeks,” “Rose,” Ohios,” “Irish Cobblers,” “Burbanks,” “Rurals” and “Bugless,” at prices that you have not been able to buy them at for several years. JOHN EGER.

Board of Associated Charities Consider Various Matters.

Members of the Board of Associated Charities met last night at the clerk’s office in the court house in regular session. The matter of chief interest before the board at this meeting was. the report of the relief committee. The chairman of this committee told of certain eases where there was sickness and need of immediate relief. Ways and means of taking care of these cases were discussed and a definite program of action decided upoa. Some further steps were taken toward the .unification of the various charity organizations and interests of the city. The members of this board feel that a good work has been accomplished through the formation of this organization. They contemplate enlarging the scope of their activities so as to include matters of sanitation, housing, gardening and like agencies for the betterment of the home life of the less fortunate classes of Rensselaer citizens. They stand ready to co-operate with other agencies interested in these matters, but feel that they must take the initiative if no other body does. Much has been'done in other cities through the cultivation of vacant lots, the equipping of playgrounds, the establishment of parks, the sanitation of tenement districts, etc. The people of Rensselaer have contributed to some of these enterprises in other cities, notably Chicago. The Board of Associated Charities feels thrat some of these good things can be and ought to be had here at home.
