Like in all other lines Northern Minnesota leads in this one. “Johnny get your gun, or your sword or your pistol” and then go after the birds, Bemidji is chesty over the fact that it has a lemon tree bearing half a dozen acid plums. That is nothing. Stearns county has two real olive trees, with hundreds of olives of the finest variety. And that is only part of the story.

In their mad desire to make the utmost speed automobilists disregard the laws, take the most desperate risks and wantonly destroy the lives of other human beings. The daily list of ac- cidents and deaths caused by the speed mania and recklessness of au- tomobilists is appalling and the law seems to be powerless to put a stop to it. few of the offending automobilists are arrested, but they seem to con- It is true that occasionally a noying features of the sport. The fine which they have to pay is a triv- jal matter and they grumble only be- cause they were checked in their mad rush. In view of the unreason- ably large number of speed limit vio- lations within the limits of Greater New York the conviction is gaining ground that a change of the speed laws is not only desirable but abso- lutely necessary. The penalty for such violations should be imprison- ment, not a mere fine. Every man who races through the public streets of a densely populated city is a po- tential slayer and should be pun- ished as such on the same theory that an armed burglar is considered by the law a potential murderer.
