collision, were buried near) Central (

Marion last Sunday nfterqpon, the \
? services being attended by*one of the
largest gatherings ever held in Marion
county, according to a news atorjr ]

These men met their tragic death
in (iirr automobile accident when the j
. car in which they were traveling col- ,
lided with a large touring cur at the
junction of highway No. 17 and Mail
Street at I>ake Cityc
One of the victims is survived by
five children; the remaining two are
survived by their widows and nine
children each. How far reaching are
the confluences of tho sudden dis*
rupting of the family tiOs and' bonds
occasioned by such a shocking road
tragedy. There is always imminent
danger and possibility of tragedy in
motoring; it is doubly enhanced when
cars approach highway or street intersections.
The hundreds who at- i
tended the final rites of the three deceased
must have had brought homo 1

of death und destruction is man's

Capital Observations

(Special Correaporaience)
Washington, April 24.?The Cherry
Mosaom Kestivat hero last week was i
success In every respect." Some es- ,
imates are that there were more j
than 200,000 people here during the
week, more than ordinarily attend the
nauguration of a president, but that,
s due to the pleasant weather this
non^Ji. The hotels ami boarding ,
lpu.^vs were taxed to the limit, and (
,he city Board of Trade considers
hat more than $3,000,000 was spent
>y the visitors.
*
Senator Norris, of Nebraska, a very
liberal Republican long in office, has
m,ado a specialty of pushing ways and
means of doing away with obsolete
government practices "which are outgrown
and not in harmony with present
advancement. To him belongs
principally the credit for the adoption
of, tho twentieth amendment to
the constitution of tho United States,
abolishing tho so-called lamd duck
session of Congress." He has now advanced
a proposition to change the
method of electing a president, doing
away with'*the electoral college, in
the manner in which it has been
functioning. Tho proposed amendment
is said to have the approval of
President Roosevelt, but incidentally
that is immaterial so far as concerns
starting tho amendment on its way.
When a proposed amendment is approved
by two-thirds of each house of
CongrCss.it automatically goes to the
States, three-fourths of which must
pastu4'avorably upon it, and it then
becomes a part of the constitution.
The assistance of the president might
niil a great deal in action by the
States. At present when a party
i,'cts a majority of the. popular vote
n November, no matter how small,
I he entire electoral vote of the Stale
ifoes iy tin* presidential candidate of J
ti.at parly. Under the proposed I
hange there would i>e a division of j
the 1 electoral votes of tile nation,
not upon a country-wide basis, but
1141011 a. State basis, if the present)
(ban ceased to exist, in NcU York for!
instance, one presidential candidate
might get 21 electoral votes, the other
' > going to the other aspirant. In
South Carolina the Democratic candilate
now gets tho entire eight votes,
whereas under the new proposal the- ,
Republican candidate might get one
>ut of the eight. The opponents of
the change hold that it would give the
Southern .States too heavy a voice, a
Republican Representative of Massachusetts
saying: "Such a systom
would give the Southern Democratic
States perpetual control of tho Presidency."
Oil tiie other hand there
would be a strong incentive for minarity
parties to put forth their best
. (Forts if there were assurance that
rotes cast would count to the extent
>f the comparative total of the vote
)f each party. National issues are
warce this year, and the proposal
nay ligure largely in campaign dis- j
u.-?sions prior to the election.

rHE drunken driver peril
Something Very Drastic Will Have to
Bo Done Abaut It Before Long
~ A Virginia Jurist, Judge <*>teman,
of Fredericksburg, in charging tho
grand jury, denounced in stern tones
the menace of the drunken driver.
"Potential Murderers" and deadly
menace to life" ho called them, urging
the grryid jury tp upe its full power
to brinjf to justice every one of this
class of drivers apd promising for his
part to see to it that they are properly
punished. Ho advocates jail sentences
of this type of olfender.
Many states have drastic statutes
covering this peculiarly diabolical
crime, but the drinking driver continues,
occasionally, to get drunk and
a fatal wtWk is usually the sequel.
Virginia has undertaken to curb
them by the enactment of laws carry- (
ing unusually heavy penaltlt's and
both tho present governor and his
predecessor served notice that they
would not pardon any map convicted
of imperiling tho lives of others on
the highways by driving while intoxicated.
There have been many flagrant offenses
of this character in every state
and the appalling death toll of tho
modern highway has been vastly Increased
by tho recklessness of drunken
men at tho wheels of high powered
Inotor cars.?Anderson Independent.
ALONG THE ED1STO
Dorchester Eaglo
(The Eagle affectionately dedicates
this verse to South Carolinia's most
truthful fish liars; those along the
Edisto.) *
Give them a rod, a. line, a hook,
Sit them down by some shady
brook-?
Let the sun,.?mk low away to west,
If nary a bite; they'll lie the best.
lb- they preacher or working man, |
There's* nothing liner to touch of
hand?
Than a bending pole and whizzing 1
line,
As they fish and lie in April-time, j
It is no sip under the sun,
To sit and tell of that big one?
That jerked you up and off the bank.
When he gave your line that awful
yank.
Or that one just about so long,
That walked away and you holding
on?Or
the one that went in a hollow log,
As big or bigger than that-ar dog.
He tells of the time on the Edis-.to.
He was fishing around just so and
so?
And landed n bream as wide as your
hat,
When what he really caught ^ras
a baby cat.
When you hear one up and lie like
this,
Put it down and you'll never miss?
There's gold in his heart, love in his
eye,
For he actually believes his own
fish lie.
The Sl'TS.OOO the legislature appropriated
in a separate act to pay, deficiencies
in the big appropriation bills
of last year has been halted by the
budget commission, which has notified j
the comptroller general not to disbtrrse
any more of it, until there is 1
assurance that the money to pay it j
will be assured. The exception is the
551,000 item for employees and other
expenses of the legislature which was
laid as soon as the governor signed
he act. Payment is held up on $90,>00
for schools, $110,000 for the state
lospital, and the rest of those in the
ict. The trouble is, that the solons
iponsoring the bill, as always, overestimated
the income of the state, and
he budget commission will have real
experts make the estimates for it, reporting
to it at a meeting to be held

COUNTRY DOCTOR A GOVERNOR
-V ' *" " ' *" " ' "'t " ' :'7 *;* ''
Elected by HU Grateful Patient*, He
UxeH Pictureaque Language
? Meet the (Governor of Arizona, Benjamin
Baker Moeur, M. D., of Temple
?a country doctor-^-invites the Medical
Pocket Quarterly.
For thirty years and more Dr.
Moeur travelled the desert roads, day
and night, bringing most of the district's
bahies ipto the world, and
meeting the varied responsibilities of
family physician to his scattered clientele.
Cash was usually scarce with
them, too, but Dij. Moeur cared for
them just the same, trusted them,
and took his fee out in trade, many
and many a time.
And when at the last election hi#
name' came before the voters, his
patients and friends, with the aid of
people in other parts of the state, attracted
to. this rugged and blunt but
kindly country doctor, put Dr. Moeur
into the governor's chair.
What does he think of his newlywon
prominence? According to a
Western columnist, Harry Carr, of the
Los Angeles Times, the following is
tho Governor's present - viewpoint:
"Didn't gl/e a damn whether or not
I was elected. Don't give a damn
whether or not I am ever elected
again?but here I am."
A colorful, picturesque figure is
Governor Moeur. Not long after he
was elected to office he was waited
upon by a committee of excellent
I women disturbed by the possible effect
of the governor's diction on the
yomh of the state. Couldn't the Governor
be a biV more careful in his?
,ah?-his choice of language?
"What? No swear words?" he replied.
"Say, lady, how in can I
express myself if I can't say ? ? "
There is a favorite story in Arizona
these days to this effect: A little girl
whom the doctor had picked up for a
lift in his automobile remarked to her
mother upon arriving home, "Dr.
Moeur must be a very religious man.
When his car broke down he crawled
underneath and kept hollerin' to God
for half an hour."
jP
As you can readily imagine, there
is much about this forthright, plain-)
speaking country doctor that makes a
strong appeal to the people at large.
The Governor's office is filled every
clay, some wanting political jobs, others
advice on medical matters.
Though the people are for him, the
politicians are decidedly against him
?he has been too hard on the political
machine as he found it.
Political opportunists get precisely
nowhere with the Doctor from Temple.
On the very day of his inaugural
banquet the Governor let them know
in his characteristically direct manner
just where they stood.
"A lot of you fellows fy^y^.been
coming to me telling me Kow much'
I owe you for electing me," he said.
"Well, you're going to get paid. You
can charge it, same as I did with your
doctor's bills!"
Governor Moeur was graduated
from the School of Medicine of the
University of Arkansas 1896 at the
age of 2v and has been practicing
medicine actively for nearly four decades.
But while he is- governoring,
believe you mc, he will do just, that
in spite of hades and high water.
