The automobile is still comparative
ly new, so new it has not, ss yet, in
spired much legislation. That is
bound to come in due time. A bill
is to be introduced at the approach
ing session of the New Jersey Legis
lature which provides a fine of $1,000
or not mora than three years' impris
onment for any ^intoxicated person
found running an automobile. An
automobile is nollplace for any person
.not in perfeot possession of all his
senses,'.especially if he bo tho chauf
feur. The necessity for a special law
. y ;, ?of ?his kindjmoy be'questioned, but
'reckless drivers of machines may eas
ily incise to more drastic measures.
It is evident that wo will have to
r :; : carry our burdon in the Philippines
for.seme lime to como. Members .of
the Taft party report that the natives
. .".. are"no? eatJi?ed ?twith our' rule, but
ore afield of our soldier*; Conse
quently they really ..viow us as ono
V>?y;-'????B7 and .hot as frierJs, which the
J imperialists claim We are. It is Said
* , th^at there was' geoeral regret, among
ibo oongrasamon Who vieit?d?-th? is?
lands that wo had ever undertaken to
be responsible for their future. How
ever, ns wc are there, the only thing
now to do is to muke tho best of it
until such time is we ean get rid of
the charge. Meanwhile, it is our
duty to do all ii our power to improve
the condition of the people and to
hasten the day when th?y cnn take
charge ol' their own affairs.
The year l'.njj has been a most re
markable year io many respects and
will probably go dowu i ri history as
the most productive in thc country's
history, at least so far as the crops
produced from the soil are concerned.
The United States have produeed in
?.ho neighborhood of 10,000,000 bales
of cotton, 2,708,000,000 bushels of
corn, 08:1,000,000 bushels of wheat,
930,000,000 bushels of oats ?0,000,000
bushels of rye, 133,000,000 bushels of
barley, Zril,000,000 bushels of pota
toes, l"y,000,000 bushels of buckwheat,
and 01,000,000 tons of hay. In con
nection with these figures, The Bir
mingham Ago- tl'Tald notes that "thc
estimated value of tb? output of thc
farms this year is $0,030,000,000, a
gain of somethirg over a billion dol
lars over 1004, tho best previous year
in tho history o? American farms."
