It happens, frequently that a child will suddenly dart into the street in front of a motor car. This may happen when a ball is thrown or hit into the highway, but often some vagrant Impulse of the child mind leads a little fellow to make a bee line across the thorough- fare in pursuit of some objective known only to " him. The fact that the little one was clearly the cause of hi" wn misfortune, does not make the utbome ai jasier for the parents. And so of homes are at this moment sufgreat numb fering the I of their hopes, and must bear the weight of a lifelong sorrow, on account of the - . fleeting suggestion that sent their offspring ' darting into the path of a flying car. , A childs training must equip it to meet the perils of the life about him. It is not much use to teach him to brush his teeth and to chew his food slowly, unless he is also trained to deal with the perils existing on the street in front .. of his house. , Every child has a right to some free swing, in which he can throw balls and run bases and play tag to his hearts content. But millions of children have no playground but the streets, and any weip travelled thoroughfare is too perilous for use for a playground as things are now. The homes and schools must drill it into the children until they know it as well as their right hand from their left, that they must look out for ' cars when they Venture into the streets. , The automobile drivers of Provo should reg flect that they run a chance of creating a sorrow for others and unending regret for themselves, if they run over a child, even if the latter is to blame. They 'should consider that a child may at any moment run out from behind a standing automobile, and when passing through towns should go slowly enough so they can stop if a youngster does something unexpected. : life-Rm- -- . , ' 0 1 , THE OPPOSITION TO THE DRY LAW . The people who got up the, parade July . Fourth in New York in opposition to prohibition evidently felt that they would head a mighty army that would astonish the country by .the power of its protest against the horrors of pyo- hibition. Their surprise must have been cori- siderable . when the Audit Company of New ' York, which t&u been engaged to count the pan rade, certifie , that the number in line consisted only of 14,9? T psople. . it may possibly dawn upon these folks that "'"thej great majority of the American people wanted prohibition.
