he might still contemplate the wreck-
age with dismay, but not with aston-
ishment. The moral of this as applied
to the'automobilist is, that an increase
in his speed is a most imperative call
upon him for an increase of vigilance
and caution, for a nicer judgment of
speed and distance, and for the pos-
session of a steady nerve and quick

NO EVIDENCE OF FAILURE.
Born Sept.
Every time there is a temporary
halt in the conferences between this
country and the Huerta government
in Mexico some correspondent arises
a. * ....... and announces to the world that the
^, mission of John Lind, as ^eace envoy
. from America, has resulted in fail-
V *-
. ure. But from all real appearances
his mission so far has been anything
but a failure. To the contrary it ap-
pears now that President Wilson’s
I poilicy is going to succeed. It is go-
ing to succeed because it is hacked
i by a spirit of disinterested fairness
I to all alike. President Wilson has no
; personal ends to serve and he has im-
Thomson, celebrated j pressed the world in this way, and
the powers of the world have come
to be his backers in the effort for
peace in Mexico. Even Japan that
British | has dong been suspected of having de-
j signs in Mexico has lined up -with the
j American policy, and this fact has
had a big influence on Huerta, and
he has been further impressed with
the attitude of the European powers.
The Herald confidently believes
President Wilson will Succeed in re-
storing peace in Mexico by the use of
peaceful methods. At least his efforts
are well directed, and certainly
strengthen the United States with
other world powers.

QUESTIONS OF
/ ‘
Th«-e are a few cheerful idiots in
the land who when they think at all
of the danger of speeding in an auto
think only of what might happen to
the feJlow who was caught in the
path of the machine, and never con-
template with any degree of alarm
what might happen to them in case
of an accident while going at high
speed. The Scientific American,
speaking editorially of this matter,
makes the following calculations:
How many of the millions of peo-
ple who sit at the steering wheel of
their automobile realize how greatly
the smashing effects of a collision are
Increased by an Increase of the
speed? Those who have been through
a smash—and survived—have a more
or less intelligent appreciation of
this relationship, tl Would be inter-
esting to learn how many out of every
one hundred drivers of automobiles
are aware of the fact that the de-
structive effects of an overturn or a
collision are increased, not in propor-
tion to the speed, but to the square
of the speed. A driver who has
touched the curb or “side-wiped” a
fence at ten miles an hour and escap-
ed with unexpectedly small injury, is
surprised at the damage which en-
sues m case of a collision at 20 miles
an hour, and perfectly dumb-founded
—khould he survive the disaster—at
the havoc wrought when the speed is
thirty or forty mile* an hour. If ho
were conscious of the fact that the
smashing energy embodied in his
machine was four times as great at
They are crowding: For instance:
What will Huerta do and what will
he the outcome in Mexico?
Who will win the pennants • and
then the championship series?
What will they do with Harry
Thaw? Can he come back?
What will cotton be worth while
the farmer has cotton?
Who will be elected governor next
year? - #
Likewise how many candidates will
there be for county offices?
Questions? Nothing but questions.

Poor old Sulzer, he is now trying
to do to Tammany what Tammany
has done to him.

Huerta need not worry* for fear that
the worse is yet to come. It is al-
ready up to him.
