The driver was in no manner at fault and was exonerated. But the child was dead and a home was filled with sorrow. In how many homes, do. you suppose, was the tragedy discussed and made an object lesson to children? Not many. The ordinary method is to damn the automobiles and curse all drivers, and Insist that they don't care whether they kill and maim or not. We do not owe- the automobiles anything. We are neither for them nor against them. But you, who have children, must accept them. They are a modern invention and have come to stay. There will be more of them on the streets next year than this. If your children live to years of maturity they may expect to see. them in almost as general use as were bicycles a few years ago. YouVe got to accept them. And knowing this and realizing it, isn't It a part of wisdom to warn your little folks that they must be careful; that they must look out when they play in- the street. In fact, in thesedays, street playing is dangerous at best, andthe, rarents who allow their little shavers to make a playground of the pavement are Inviting Sorrow. Yes, it Is true there are some drunken chauffeurs who should be in prison. They should be arrested and dealt with severely. No man should have a license to run an automobile who Is not sober and reliable. And the .man whose license Is taken from him for gross carelessness should be barred from automobile driving for ever. There should he good and wise laws regulating traffic, but even those will not save your children if you, persist in letting them play unguarded, and do not make the most of every object lesson that comes within your know, ledge. We have, time and again, seen youngsters leave the curb and dart in front of a swlft-mnning auto, shouting and waving their hands. That is "fun", for a child, and too often it winds up in tragedy. The little folks who, either from desire or necessity, make the street their playgrounds, need all the instruction In caution that they can possibly be given. And the chauffeurs, and driving own,ere of automobiles, who are reckless

should reap their reward at the hands of the law. Doesn't it sound reasonable and fair? The above editorial from the Cincinnati Post is good enough and timely enough to print for the benefit of people in Richmond. Just as little children In Cincinnati tako big chances and think they are having great fun running along side of and in front of moving automobiles, so does the same thing happen in this city. The other evening, while an automobile was going down South Sixth street a little boy stood in the middle of the street until the machine was almost on him and then jumping aside, ran along side of it. for several feet. The little chap saw the machine coming and deliberately took the chance, possible believing he was having "fun." Familiarity with danger breeds contempt, and the danger from even a slowly moving automobile is no mean thing. .Just, as the Post says, pa sent.-; should warn their children, especially those who play in the streets, to bo exceedingly careful and riot, take dangerous risks. The streets are meant, tor vehicles and with automobiles and carriages constantly passing afford a very insecure play ground for children. As the Post says, the automobile is here to stay and as the years go by will be seen in constantly increasing numbers. Since their introduction scarcely ten years ago tho trend has been to build cars at more and more reasonable prices, placing machines within the reach of an increasing number of people all the time. Hand in hand with the development of the pleasure automobile has gone the commercial automobile which, in nearly all large cities, is taking the place of worn out horses in transporting heavy loads. Just what an important part the automobile industry takes in our country is shown by tho accompanying figures showing the growth of the industry during the past ten years: Automakers... 17 17 Cars produced. ,"(, b0 Employes ti:!S fio.ooo Val. of product $ 219,600 $10.-). 700, 000 Capital $1,000,000 $ 95,000,000 Auto, agcy's. .. 40 ' Lifo Ag'cy employes 100 21,000

WEST RICHMOND. Rev. Orange S. Harrison has moved into his home, on National avenue. C. Atkinson is preparing to move into a house on Kinsey street. Mrs. Fulghum is visiting her son in Pennsylvania. Dr. (Irosvcnor is building an addition to his home. John. Hurdsell of Fairviow Is building a pretty dwelling on Linden avenue. Clark Walls is building a cottage home on Linden avenue. Edward Wilkins has built an addition to the front part of his house on Linden avenue. Mrs. William Broahmans is in a very critical condition. The people of Fairview are very anxious to have better fire protection. They think they should share with WestjRichmond equally in a bore house. They think a small house and a ono horse cart with good horse and two mcn-i .would be .the thing to have. Benton Heights is growing rapidly and six new houses are in process of erection. Prof. H. Lindley is building a good house on Central avenue in West Richmond. A Scarcity of Washwomen. One reason for the scarcity of washwomen ami the principal one. is illness consumption. The unnealthy, impure, nauseating odors which arise from the use of some laundry soap cause more sickness than a dozen other reasons. There is only one white laundry soap Easy Task. Made of cocoanut oil and borax, the fumes front which are pleasant, yet it will wash anything and without boiling. Try a five cent cake and results will surprise you.

IS Negro Republic Turns to the United States for Aid. AFFAIRS ARE IN BAD SHAPE Washington. May Secretary Root has marie an appointment to receive this afternoon a delegation representing the republic of Liberia, which has come to ask counsel and aid in the troubles which have beset the effort to colonize the freed slaves of America, which began the latter part of the eighteenth century. It. is admitted that Liberia is. from the stand point of nations, in practically a helpless and hopeless condition. Her latest tribulation is in effect an ultimatum from England to maintain a better government. Although the United States is virtually responsible for the existence of Liberia, diplomatic history shows this government has hesitated to stand sponsor for the little republic before the world. Thomas Jefferson's name first appeared in the story of Liberia, when he advocated abolition of slavery and colonization of slaves. Just what is to be the outcome of the present appeal to tho United States for aid is a question upon which officials undertake to throw no light. That there is a feeling of sympathy is apparent and that the position of the United States with reference to the weak republic' is one which would seem to demand a measure of consideration seems a fair conclusion.
