E larger cities of the country are sending their) | | officers in charge of street traffic to other | cities to observe methods of handling automobiles with a view of establishing some safer system, and reducing the number of street accidents. Such j visits of investigation should include the courts be fore which the cases of accidents are heard and) sion reached. 7 Too often in the past only a fine has been im-| posed after these “accidents,” for the actual in ion to kill or injure has been taken into so much consideration that the severer punishment of prison sentences rarely has been imposed. Of late, however, there has been a change, and what has Deen made th basis of action is the law which as- ‘ribes much the same ity to unintentional a to intentoinal offenses—does, that is, when the! results of their commission are such as reason-| ably could be expected to follow them and there fore reveal the possession of what the statute de- fines as a “depraved mind.” The reckless driver who takes life could be, and has been, charged with murder under this law, but) the ultimate penalty never has been exacted in| such and ix not likely to be.

Most of| these laws could be revised with great benefit to; the users of public streets and rural highways. Examinations as to both competence and char- acter should be much more rigid than they are now, and licenses should be taken away from all who more than once have shown either disinclina- tion or inability to respect the rights of other people. cases is Make Efficiency the Test. (HEY ARE debating in the Irish parliament the old question of reprisals, some of the members, and those in the most responsible positions, in- sisting that only by the utmost severity in dealing; with the rebels can peace in the island be estab- lished, and othe aring that this is the meth- od England tried for so many ars, With no bet- ter result than that of producing a continual re volt. The revolt, as a matter of fact, was not contin- mous, and not for a good many years had England Answered assassination with the summary putting Zo death of prisoners convicted of offenses not fommonly held capi It does seem to be true,} jowey that hangings and shootings $n jail by the F ite authorities have not cowed the so-called irr 's or put an end to their fer- Ocious activities. & The one re: have indication of reprisals In kind is that they prevented a repetition of the acts, fat which they were aimed. and this the recent ex ecutions have not accomplished. That the question should be argued in the Irish arliament is natural and commendable, but the orror which the followers of DeValera express whenever one of their own number suffers the} penalty of death is the very culmination of un-| reasoning in ce.

Although the prohibition question is one long settled by constitutional amendment and much sup: plementary enforeing law, it seems to crop up within the Democratic party in the form of an is-| sue, at very frequent intervals. Possibly the lack) of other issues may be crowding it to the front in| that party, and possibly the temporary political | success of several well-known wet advocates at} the recent elections, may be responsible for the) reappearance of this question in serious discussion | tending toward the re-establishment of wines and beer by some congressional act cf evasion of con- stitutional amendment. The facts that wet candidates only have been brought to the forefront, and much wet propa- ganda is going over the country at this particular time from sources of Democratic origin may mean} one of two things. The Democratic party is re-| viving the question to test its effect for political | purposes, or they have determined to make it an| issue and blame the Republican party with the! failure of enforcement. 1 The Odious Comparison. HOSE fond of drawing comparisons may find} employment in contrasting the national spirit of the two peop French and German under military occupation. In one it was displayed in whelming degree. In the other it was} found totally lacking. When Prussia set military forces in France fol- lowing the treaty of Frankfort Bismarck told France the forces would stay there till every sou of the indemnity was paid. Then came the dis y of national spirit. France asked subscrip ns for a loan. Stung by the disgrace of for cign troops on its soil, France oversubscribed that loan many times. The Prussian troops were liter lly fired-out of France by national spirit. | What a contrast today. France now occupies the Rulr till the indemnity is paid or some evi dence given that an attempt is to be made to pay it. Germany raises not one finger to attempt to remove the enemy from her soil by that method. Instead she whines and protests her weakness | There is no appeal to national pride, nor is it be- cause the wealth of Germay wealthy outside Germany. So it was with ‘some of the French wealth in ‘but the owners of that wealth at once made it available for the nation by subscribing for the loan. ! The Present Demand. \ JHAT much of the world is requiring today is more real production work. There is no theory that can take the place of labor to get things done. No sophistry can make Russian lands yield good crops’if Russian peas- ants will not till the soil. Nobody can squeeze prosperity out of the coal mines when they work only one in every three. Mr. Ford’s dollar could earn him but return if he kept it toiling only Cutting down hours of work means ng the price} of everything. There can be no other result be cause more hands are needed to produce a given ntity of any desired product. Let the farmer work five instead of twelve! hours a day, and your bread will at once treble in price, and so will your meat and milk and vege- tables. Those who preach for a wholesale reduc tion in hours of toil, preach for a wholesale in- crease in the price of all you buy. You cannct escape it. The Thirteen Months Y ear. A hes IS DIFFICULT to believe that the Gregorian ar of twelve unequal months, with only one of them twenty-eight days long, wil! be replaced, soon is sequestered by the a meagre taining exactly four weeks. Nobody who has studied the question would deny, however,’ that this second kind of year would be better in many ways than the present arrange- ment, or that, if the problem were one that had risen newly for solution, not the twelvemonth but the thirteen-month year would be established. Against the change there is one strong argumént —it would substitute for a long-fixed custom an- other with which nobody now is familiar. That ar- is not without force, but a large and ap- st-growing number of people are bal- a gument is parently fi ancing against considerable array of argu- to which ascribe force still greater. ness, as d nowadays, they say, re- closeness of cost and other accounting that inequality in the length of months makes always difficult and expensive, and sometimes practical- ly impossible. 1 comparisons, too, are inaccurate and therefore untrustworthy under a system in which months and weeks are incommens- urable, and Sundays come irregularly, sometimes four and sometimes five to the month. It is considerations of this sort that have moved chambers of commerce earnestly to urge upon con- gress the passage of the thirteen-month bill—H. R. 12221—now before it for the appointment of a com- mmission of experts to revise the calendar, and to do it as soon as the details can be fixed in accord with the judgment of like commissions in other coun- tries. Of course, the United States cannot act alone That would be to aggravate all the difficulties and inconveniences produced by the change, and few or none of its advantages can be 2 world, or at least all of in the reformative Why Conceal Facts? | l PON one ground only can there be antagonism} to the so-called “Truth-in-Fabrie” bill now before the congress. Its passage would make diffi eult, or more difficult, the selling of cloth in which cotton or shoddy had been employed in perference to wool hitherto unused. There has been some foolish and irritating talk on the part of certain manufacturers and dealers! to the effect that quality is improved by these adu} terants. If that were true, the buying public could! be convinced of it and glady would pay as muck or more for the mixed goods as for those “all wool.” The same kind of talk has prevented as yet, the passage of laws compelling each package of canned food to be stamped with the date when it was put! up. What buyers want, and all they havo any right to get, is exact knowledge of what they are buying. ! Whether they make good or poor use of that knowl, edge is their own concern, and they must pay for} their mistakes. | Who Got the Grapes2 We AT becomes of the grapes?

The appealing part \of {t all fs that the student of folk lore finds his ma- terial immediately under his nose and does not have to construct a synthetic web of story with a few unusual phe- nomena for his groundwork, and a big reel. of conjectural reasoning tacked to it to arrive at his classifi- cation. He has his material thrown at him every day, and hethas to dodge pretty fast to keep out its way if he does not want to recognize it. Just a day or so ago one of this fast dying breed was down the street and he heard a small child, much engrossed in a game of hide and seek, reciting: Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Mot Catch a nigger by the toe, If he hollers let him go. Our friend went on his way, but the blame thing would stay in his m‘nd. “Eeny, Meeny, Miny Mo,” said our truck without giving it a glance. He could eas‘ly have evaded the rushing monster by darting back, but he pre- ferred to escape ft by leaping forward Uke a young antélope and sprinting all the way to the opposite sidewalk. And he was making just the right springbok leap when— Alas! on the opposite sidewalk Har- old saw three flappers that he knew, and their faces were turned toward him. In that instant the two Harolds came into fierce conflict. The inside Harold wanted to continue in com- mand of its artless and efficient ma- neuver of ‘sprinting through the Cen- ter street traffic, but the outside Harold wanted to be dignified in the eyes of the flappers. Th fight was fought and finished while fou could snap your fingers. And the outs'de Harold won. Fear of being undignified or ridiculous over- came fear of the motortruck.
