" Speed maniacs are becoming too great and prm!liscuous 'a nuisance in this gountry. . As we have remarked in these columns before; it is ‘quite time .to_ put an effectual curb on their speeding and maiming and killing. The people they'maxm or kill are of use to society. They are not. If fines will not check them, jail sentences will. A In Chic: the throat. y of the law, the city, the 5, They were powerful, arrogant, and contemptuous state and the government. z But one prominent offender suddenly found. himself before Federal Judge Landis. He is now in the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth. The booze ring is panic stricken, and the lid ia down so tight it couldn’t be jarred off with dyn_amite. If it can be done with booze it can be done with speedmg. The average motorist is law abiding an(} consuier.:atg of ‘the rights of others, but he suffers for the wild and criminal recklessness of the speeders. Appeais to reason and fines have had no effect- upon these public nuisances. iy The only recourse left to the public is to put these fellows " where they belong. Oue good jail sentence will do the worg ' in this community. The rest cf the maniacs will take to cover . and suddenly develop into remarkabl¥ good Indians.
