State Secretary Phillips is handing out some valuable decisions, as a part of the duty of his office, concerning the eareless operation of autos and motorcycles by drivers who lack in experiencs or do not give the proper attention to the laws and the require- ments of safety. The time has come when the toleration of the reckless driver has reached its limit. The over- Jooking of the action of one simply licenses the action of all who ‘witness and perhaps suffer from flagrant dis- respect for the regulations. Drivers may be willing to take all the chances which are involved In their speeding by motoreycle or auto but such gives no instrance to the safety of the pub- lic, who mmst be protected. It is the removal and the suspen- sion of licenses which is likely to have the best effect upon increasing regard for the speed laws of the state. Too much s at risk to permit the making of express train speed through the streets of a cfty or its_outskirts. It needs the strongest kind of discour- agement and it is the power which has been given to the state secretary which is aimed at the speeders’ vul- nerable point, the loss of the privilege of enjoying his pet hobby. It is bound to have a much stronger effect than prosecutions which dispose of such cases by the application of a small fine, quickly paid and the chance to commit the offense over again. SAFETY AGITATION JUSTIFIED. Nothing brings more vividly to mind the great menace which fire is on ves- sels on the high seas, than tke blaze on the Imperator, which gave the fire fighting experts of the cities of New York and Heboken, as well as those on the MNner, a several hours battle at its pler. Even though its equip- ment for handling fire, as well as other emergencies while at sea are of the best, it was a most fortunate thing that it broke out where the best of aid was available. It calls attention to the extreme can- tion which needs to be taken in the operation of even such modern float- ing palaces where the latest ideas haye been incorporated into its construc- tion, though the fire partitions which would have prevented the spread out- side the compartment showed the ad- vantage of the protection which is thas afforded. The fire hazard exists to a great ex- tent on land but even more so 6n the high seas, with aid and avenue of escape decidedly uncertain. Just such experiences as that of the Imperator justify the efforts which have been made in behalf of better and stricter regulations governing transoceanic vessels, and for the better protection ind safer construction needed to guard the lives of thefr passengers. Safety, whether it be on land or sea, is a mat- ter which demands constant attention and a full recognition of responsibil- fity. “Failed to see train” is the excuse iven for a double fatality in a Mass- husetts traln amd auto collision, but v much longer has it got to be nned into the driver of any kind of vehicle that a raflroad crossing is ingerous? An infringement of copyright suit 325,900 has been brought over The completion of the huge dam across the Mississippi river at Keo- ulk, d, is another jnstance .of the of the great ‘e for the use of available, | but which has 6 long been allowed to go to waste; Such an engineering feat not been accomplished without a outlay of .mofi:‘ i w“mmu the enormous horsepower Ywhich can be developed from the water thus har- | nessed three states are to be served with cheap current for light and pow- er purposes. ‘What has been done at Keokuk rep- resented faith in the undertaking, but it represents an understanding of the great advantage of the bydro-electric plant which is extending throughout the country. Recognition is gradually being made of the lost opportunity which exists in the unused rivers for the generation ef electricity and the project which promises so much for the Mississippi valley is bound to re- sult in a steadily increasing adoption of this method of aiding industrial activity. This great matural resource has been turned to a still further ser- vice in meeting the needs of man- kind, and meeting them at a time when the cost of power is on the increase. In such plants, large and small, lies the future source of cheap electric power, CHANCE FOR THE BAR. There- are many important matters which will come before the meeting of the American Bar association in Montreal, at which will be gzathered some of the greatest legal lights of the country. and unquestionably profit will result from the debate and con- sideration of such topics as have been selected, but special importance is at- tached to the matter of the recall of judges. This is a matter which has stirred the country from end to end in the realization of the radical change which the introduction of such a plan would make and the danger in- volved in the sanctioning of any such movement. The agitation in behalf of its introduction has resulted not only from efforts which have been made to arouse discontent, but from meth- ods hy which the laws have been ad- ministered. \ It is but natural that it is a mat- ter tin which the bar association is vitally interested, and in which it must realize that it has an important part to play in calling attention to the sig- nificance and harm which states, lo- calities and individuals grossly under- estimate. Tt must also realize that it is a matter in which the strongest in- fluence should be exerted to overcome whatever popular dissatisfaction may be back of the agitation. A better Tespect for the law and its administra- tion is what is sought and the quicker this can be assured the better. PROTECTING THE PUBLIC. There is much to be commended in the action of the American Pharma- ceutical association which named a commission to investigate patent med- icine formulas for the purpose of as- suring the consumer that such medi- cines which meet with a wide sale &e ‘what they should be anid not some fake concoction simply put up to draw out the dollars from the public. The Springfield Union well says: “In respect to these matters druggists ought to recggnize a certain respon- sibility to the public. There s an ethical side to their business that should not countenance unrestrained traffic In fravdulent and injurfous preparations. The pure food and drugs act should be amended to cover omis- sions and weak points that now leave the public open to gross impositions; state laws should be stiffened to con- serve the same object. Bu? the artf- fices and devices by which unscrup- ulous manufacturers manage to cir- cumvent the law are so numerous that cooperation of the druggists is neces- sary to afford the public adeguate pro- tection. . Let us have more light shed on the composition and value of the many patent medicines concernine whose merit or lack of merit most Dersons are in ignorance.” Every effort which is launched for the purpose of checking any swindle upon the publie should have the strongest support, whether it concerns drugs or anything elee. The square deal is always to be encouraged. EDITORIAL NOTES. The call for school means an exodus from: the <hore resorts for another nine months.
