He is t tutliless, though furtive, Hjm ker of the things valued of man which in only a small way enriches uiwsWf and brings grief, annoyance and loss to the owner. He is hated, of course; the low, contemptible maurauder is always hated. Hated n like the mangy, coyote, because he i low and disgusting; because he is a petty thief and be cause he U feared by the unprotec ted. But even lower than the mangy coyote and the thieving rat is the pettv thief belonging to the human race. The statement seems hard. It is hard. But it is not too hard. Un like the mangy coyote and the fur tive rat, the petty human thief is more or less irusted by his fellow men, which make him all the lower when be betrays that trust. Even flower than the- - coyote and the rat is the human thief for the reason that his plunder is usually the things which cannot do him any good because it is either useless to him, or he is too cowardly to" put it to use for fear of being caught. His mind seems to function along the lines of the coyote and rat, but Is actuated by a much less honorable cause. On the part of rodent and the animal hunger is usually the force which drives to theft; rarely it is for the love of destruction; never for the mere "thrill" of stealing. Therein are these two maurauders more honorable than their partner in crime, the petty human thief, who takes other people's property regardless of its value to him, or the sorrow, loss or annoyance he causes its owner. Perhaps the most sorrowful part of it is that the coyote and rat are hunted beings. Their lives are in constant danger from their numerous enemies. Man is constantly on the alert for a chancef to kill and destroy them as vengence for their wrong dohigs. He is encouraged to do so. While the killing of their less honorable colleague is a crime. By comparison, after careful consideration, it would seem that of the two classes of thieves, the human one deserves the less sympathy and his extermination should be encouraged without stint. No city, or community, is without the humanized rat, or the mangy, vermin-riddehumanized coyote. Nothing of a petty nature may be left for a minute unprotected if the qwner expects to return and find it. autoFrom the picnicker's lunch, mobile dashlights, bicycle handle grips down to a child's marbles and toys, the petty thief takes his toll, and congratulates himself upon his "cleverness." No thought of wrong enters his mind because his degenerated brain is unable to distinguish between right and wrong. His mentality is far below the ability to reason the situation out, arriving at any concluson or decision other than to steal, plunder and lie, Justifying himself in his own blind eyes and sinking farther and farther into the slime of his own degradation.

After a trip through snow banks at a 12,000 foot elevation in the mountains out of Laramie, the car which signifies a new a'cconiplish-men- t In motor transportation rolled on across the remaining miles of Wyoming's broad stretches to Salt Lake City, where Secretary of State H. E. Crockett and Mayor Neslen extended an official welcome to Utah's capitol. Later, Frances Ken-aul- t, vaudeville star, made his Initial bow to a Salt Lake City audience from the car which was Introduced into his act, and was driven onto the stage at the Pantages' theatre by Frank Kulick. old time driver of Ford racing cars, who. is piloting the on its way to the coast. With the exception of Salt Lake City, where the Secretary of State was on the Job, the car has been welcomed by the governor in every state captiol through which it has passed. In Trenton, Governor George Silzer did the honors, while Governor N, E. Kendall of Iowa headed th committee of welcome at Des Molne-sand Governor W. E. Ross of Wyoming at Cheyenne. Among the thousands of members of the great Ford family that have joined in the honor parades that have featured this historic trip, was an antiquated car with model N motor, number 539. This was at Omaha, and the old Ford pro duct of 1906 vintage, by perfect be havior and performance in the par ade, seemed to scorn the passing year. At Rawlins, Wyo, a unique feature of the welcome was the appearance in the parade of the original Dead-woo- d stage coach, which was driven by cowboys in full regalia, guns, sombreros, snaps and all. Farmers along the Lincoln Highway have turned out in great numbers to do homage, though the passing car, to Mr. Ford, who has given them transportation facilities and traction power un guessed and of but a few years ago. At one place the parade was joined by a number of farmers with a Fordson tractor coupled to a trailer with heavy horses. In this emphatic manner the tillers of the soil told the world of the complete triumph of horses Ford traction units over fresh on the farm. The tour, which celebrates a ten .millionth production of the Ford Motor Company, is scheduled to end Tuesday, July 29th, when the Ford enters San Francis co, where a big reception awaits it, and Frank Kulick delivers to the Mayor of that city a letter- from the Mayor of New York, and then drives the celebrated car out to the end of the Lincoln Highway. inpo 115 th Mule in Mines only a few yean ago that n It (he donkey was a necessity In coal mines.
