The nptation to inflict punishment on fools who henace one’s safety is very great. . . : Presa Hervtion, 00, year § QUT we are a law-abiding community. We have legal agencies to guarantee us reasonable ety on the highways. We should insist, with all ur force, that these agencies be employed to the tmost. The price, in dollars, does not enter into e discussion. We are willing to pay, cheerfully, ever is necessary to make the streets safe for urselves, our wives, our mothers and our children. _ Tf ourlegal agencies shirk their duty at this time, * citizens, sooner or later, will take the law into their wn hands. An autoist, perhaps an innocent one, ill be beaten or lynched by a mob. Such an act would be an ineradicable blot on @ city’s good name. It should not be aliowed to yppen. It MUST NOT be allowed to happen. PHERE is but one way to prevent it. Reckless driving must be stopped—and stopped NOW, punishment must be visited upon fools ‘armed with motor cars. The first consideration, of course, is to deprive them of their right to drive. The second, to imprison them for terms sufficient to serve not only as punishment to themselves, but as warnings to others. You should help the police with eVery means in your power. They are just as anxious to stop this inal waste of human life as you are. The honor of the force is at stake. Policemen have “wives and babies, as you have; they feel as you do ‘over this terrible outpouring of human blood. Tell them of cases that come under your observation. Be willing, if necessary, to let your business go for an hour while you testify in court against a poten- © tial murderer.
