P. R. R. (Tf) PAY YOUR AUTO LICENSE A recent supreme court decision has ruled that the wheel tax levied on pleasure automobiles by the city of Chicago need not be paid. The city authorities have appealed, and in the minds of many of the best lawyers there is no doubt but the decision will be reversed.

The city has used all of this license in improving, repairing and building new streets and roads, especially for pleasure-driven automobiles, and they of right should pay for them. If the license is not paid we will have again the 3 rutty streets and drives that will cost every auto owner twice the amount in repairs and bar him from the best drives in the county. Every auto owner should be willing to pay this license, and we hope they will see in the proper light and do so. This is a matter of local patriotism and pride, and anyone owning and taking pleasure in driving over good streets and roads should be willing to pay his share in keeping them so. Don't be a sponge! Don't be a shirk or bilker." Pay for what you get and be decent.

There Is little doubt but that the license will be retained by the higher court and you will have to pay it anyhow, so be decent and pay it now while it is so much needed. Everyone who drives an auto knows this money must be raised someho'v to keep up the drives, and when they paid their license they boasted of what they were doing in paying for the drives they enjoyed. Now is the time to prove that they paid for it willingly, and because they should do and not because they were compelled to. Is it not a matter of decency and honesty for the autoists to pay for keeping up the good roads they use almost exclusively? Come to the front now and prove it. PROTECT THE LAWNS Already we are receiving complaints that careless persons, not always boys and girls at that, make a practice of tramping over newly planted and seeded lawns and front yards, especially those on corner properties.

One complaint comes of the robbing of flower beds and vases at night. This is pure vandalism and the police should be resorted to to stop it. It is very discouraging to spend hours and money on a lawn and then have it tramped down and run over. Parents excuse their children by saying, "They don't think," but they should be made to think, and the grown person who maliciously destroys the efforts to beautify a property should be prosecuted in the police courts. BOWEN CLAIMS PENNANT Bowen of the Englewood Commercial Association Baseball team is already claiming the flag in the newly organized South Side Commercial Association league.

Bowen is satisfied that he will present a lineup on opening day, May 20, that will put Englewood on the baseball map. Capt. Bill Smith and Charles Rose, two old timers at the game, have taken charge of the playing end and are teaching the boys some inside ball This team is representing you, Mr. Englewood Business Man, and deserves your earnest support. The following players are under contract for the year 1915: Doctor Windheim, W.

Sachsel, C. Shobe, J. Fornaciari, F. Lenzen, Doctor Dawson, C. Underwood, D.

Wasson, G. Fagan, G. Monnier, W. Rome, Proter, W. Lehnhard, W.

Smith, captain; C. Rose, coach; E. Bowen, manager. Positive Proof. An afe'ed and much-traveled tourist was relating experiences of his travels to a group of friends, when a blatant young man, who had himself made a short trip through Europe, decided that it was about time to come in for his share of honors as a great traveler.

"When I made my trip through the Red sea," the young man interjected, "we dropped anchor one night in the exact spot where Pharaoh's hosts were engulfed by the waters of the Red sea. In the morning when we heaved up the anchor we discovered that one of Pharaoh's chariots, which had for years been lying at the bottom of the sea, was hooked on to one of the flukes of our anchor. It was in. an excellent state of preservation." "How did you know It wa6 one of Pharaoh's chariots and not one of more recent vintage?" Inquired the old tourist. ''Oh, that was easy," replied the noisy young man.

"You see, in one corner of the chariot we found an old coin which bore the Inscription, '2005 B. The Game Is Not for Man Alone. The Intelligence that appears to pervade the organic world and that reaches Its conscious expression In the bruin of man is just as manifest In all the forms of animals arid plants that are inimical to him--In all his natural enemies--venomous snakes and beasts of prey, and insect pests--as in anything else. Nature is as wise and solicitous for rats and mice as for men. In fact, she has endowed many of the lower creatures with physical powers that she has denied him.

Evidently man is only one of the cards in her pack, doubtless the highest one, but the game is not played for him alone. --John Burroughs, in North American Review. Turk Always a Fatalist. Religion is the one and only topic the Turk cares to discuss. It controls his every act.

Nothing affects his belief. No reasoning can prevail against his faith. The Turk, especially the uncivilized Turk, is very religious and fanatical. Fanatical, be it understood, if you ridicule his religion. He practices that scrupulously--five times a day, a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in his life, if possible--such are the precepts of his religion which he never forgets.

After all, the Turk is a fatalist and is fated to remain so. He appears quite contented with his fate. As the Koran says, "Each nation has Its turn. When the appointed time comes men can neither retard it nor hasten It." SUCCESS TO MAYOR THOMPSON William Hale Thompson is now Mayor of Chicago, and we wish him a successful career. Personally we know Mr.

Thompson to be a good man, and an energetic one who means to do right by the city, but he has a huge task and we are sorry to see some of the men in his official family who have nothing more to recommend them than their allegiance to the mayor. However, by the of T. favorite prescription of the "Big stick" they can be made to do right, and we believe Mr. Thompson will freely use the stick when officials do not do their duty. Englewood thus far has no representative excepting Dr.

W. H. Read of 55th and Hal- ated who will be smoke inspector. "Billy" is a good fellow and probably can inspect smoke as good as anyone, and we hope there will be less to inspect when he finishes his official career. The city needs a cleaning up morally and physically, and it is up to the new mayor and his staff to do it.

Several million pairs of eyes are on administration and we hope he will do well by us all. WHERE THEY MOVED The following removals were received at this office this week: Mrs. A. Vick from 727 61st PI. to 6451 Green C.

It proved to be a bigger affair than be handled on short notice, but the delay means greater opportunities for buyers and will be the greatest business event ever offered in Englewood. The issue of the Englewood Times of May 14th will contain all of the bargains and a resume of the great sale. OF TROY The pupils of the Parker high school will present a "Pageant of Troy" at the Normal college auditorium, Friday, May 7, at 2:45, and also at 8 p. m.

Admission will be by tickets, which may be obtained from any Park- erite at 2f cents each. Pink tickets, for children, will be accepted for the afternoon performance only, and are being sold at 15 cents each. Hair-Raising Tale. This ta a bald and convincing narrative, not to say a hair-raising tale. All 9f Broadway who have brows so high that they reach over to the back of the neck are considering taking up music lessons, and the front rows of music shows have been over-subscribed by men who have come out from under their natural shelter.

It's all because a doctor has announced that the peace and tranquillity and the joy of music are what make musicians' hair grow long and prevent them from becoming bald-headed, When you come to think of it rau sicians are long-haired. That there are plenty of i this city who believe in the efficiency of music having charms to lure forth the ehy, vio let-like hair is shown by the number of glistening domes seen in the so- called "bald-headed rows" of every theater featuring a musical show. Watch one of these roof gardens at some particular musical show and it is possible you may be able to see a hair sprout and flower before your very York Times. Named After Americans. It seems that the wistaria, which was originally a Japanese plant, is not the only one named after an American.

"The gardenia," said a native of South Carolina now in New York, "is named after Doctor Garden while the brilliant scarlet flower so popular at Easter and Christmas called the poinsettia, takes Its name from Joel Polnsett, who brought the flower from where he had been minister from this country. He brought back with him the first plant of the kind ever seen in this country Both these men who gave their names to popular flowers, moreover, were na lives of South Carolina." Something New to Janftort "I hav.e flred the elevator boy, but I shall take him back--a tenant should have been turned out," said the janitor of a large apartment house to a woman who had Complained the day before that she had to wait an unusually long time to be taken to her sixth story apartment "While you were waiting Oscar was working mechanical piano in Mrs. Blank's apartment," said the Janitor, that the Blanks could practice one of the new dances. I have had all sorts of complaints, from no hot water to too much noise, but this case stands alone. Never thought that the Tango-Bunny' Turkey would give ua any trouble."
