editor telethon es editoual ami llul iteildence speed early sunday morning four young lives were snuffed out in the twinkling of an eye when motor car struck trolley car headon it is said the motor car was going at the rate of 65 miles per hour hundreds of cases of speeding are tried every week inthl police courts and penalties imposed thou sands more could be prosecuted for infractions of the law but why all the speed what was the hurry of four young men that required speed of over mile minute to reach their destination there is no suggestion that any of them were ill or were being rushed to the hospital there was no emergency motor car builders have attained very high standards in building the car of the present day the machines are capable of remarkable ac complishments but many drivers are putting them to tests beyond all reason what is being accom plished by all this rush lives are being lost daily nerves are being wrecked and sorrow and suffering caused all to no purpose it is time for checkup and the observance of safe driving speeds sugilcd the suggestion was made to us the other day that the present was an opportune time for the con duct of rather extensive repair plan of the mun icipality it was further suggested that the work be financed under debenture plan rather than paid for in current taxes in supporting this suggestion it was pointed out that the money could be secured at low interest rutcs actons debentures would sell at par locally bearing four per cent interest ths cost of materials has not advanced to any extent and plenty of labor is available in the program of im provement suggested was complete repair or re building of all the sections of sidewalks that required such attention the extension of the water mains to north main street improvement of the lighting system on mill street in the business section and few other items that we have forgotten we pass on the suggestion for the consideration of council and ratepayers we think it has much of merit in it nspcctaiiy liitfuda tion of improvements under high interest rates and high prices for materials and labor meeting the public demand there has been considerable outcry against the rather conflicting reports and raising of fahe hopes that emanated from moose river during the rescue of dr robertson and mr scadding from their entombment in the mine there we arc ready to admit along with the general public that the rescue work was rather too vividly played up in headlines and in the dispatches from the mines but who after all is to blame with general public clam oring for news every live minutes when hours and days were really required to give reports with content of new developments it was soarcely to he wondered that the story at times got rather in ad vance ofthe actual facts of the case the newspaper rivalry of beihg hrst undoubtedly overstepped tilt bodnds if the public really desires less sensa tional presentation of the news they can rectify the matter birtjustsolorrgasextrnsrwillrsciireheudsr creute the demand and provide the sale that was shown in this instance just that long will there always be found publishers who are willing to go to fur ends to ftjed the sensational minds the public seemed to want excitement they got it and if they paid too dearly we have yet to read of the regrets of iho sensational sheets which supplied the

such re scjnblancc to ono of which we have intimate recol lections that we havo watched thp proceedings with great deal of interest an attempt was made to exclude two reporters from the meetings but they held their ground and reported the meetings when the public business cannot bo transacted with the full knowledge of the public there is usually something amiss most reporters do not desire to make scene or causo local disturbance and the task of telling the public tho story is usually not pleasant situa tion the bowmanvillc statesman fulfilled its duties inthetangloandkcpttheptiblicinformedrf tfic proceedings many people who are elected to public office carry with them the idea of private conduct of affairs it simply cannot be vjpjic these disturb ances are distasteful and not in the best interests of any community but realization must always bo maintained by those in public affico that they must so conduct the affairs that they will bear public scrutiny too often petty little affairs are injected and are usually the cause of the disturbance the bowmanvillo rumpus was apparently true to the usual run they are regrettable and to be avoided whenever possible aciond finances auditors reports are now available on applies tion to clerk farmer if you want to know of actons financial condition that little booklet of about thirty pages
