The World's ettempt last winter to have | @¥ery operator of an automobile, whether owner, chauffeur, employer | or employes, brought wader the simplest form of registetion e@ 6p} ipitial etep toward safety first was defeated in the Legislature. | But there is still aveilable the ordinary criminal statutes, entirely | edequate to put a check on brainiess speed maniacs, drunken drivers | end murderow brutes who run amuck through city etreete and country reeds. | The penal code can be mode more potent than rules and fegulations. A conviction for murder is more to be desired than revoking « neense. Penalties for homicide and assault ere applicable to the gang thug ard the automobile thug alike. Some Sing Sing sentences wil! help decidedly toward rendering! the streets safer. District Attorneys, grand juries and criminal courts have it in their power to make up deficiencies of the automoble law in most ettective manner. T nests of trouble for everybody in unexpected and places. Mies Mabel Vernon heckled President Wilson in his holiday epeech at Washington and Mise Alice Paul, head of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, announced that this is the beginning of a campaign of feminine militantismn. Goodness knows, ladies, we men have worries enough on our hands already without you opening fire on us at this time. Just sec what We are up against. There's that bewhiskered old nuisance, Carranza, who is bothersome problem, especially when he writes clever notes, and another German submarine campaign is announced which will revive Ambessador von Bernstorf{ with more apologies and promises, Then there's the coming Presidential campaign, with both Col. Roosevelt and William Jennings Bryan likely to scramble for the lime- light ond centre of the stage just when we hoped they were shelved for good. You would be doing a real service if only you'd tackle these two instead of poor Mr. Wilson, who is having a dreadfully tough time of it. | Be gentle, too, with the public. Think what they have on hand. | The soldier boys down on the border are swearing already like the| troops in Flanders at the weather, cactus thorns, mesquite bush and| things generally. The Sixty-ninth is restless ut Comp Whitman and spoiling for a fight. All the National Guards going to war are grumb- ling for Pullman cars and ice cream. Infantile paralysis is spreading about town, mosquitoes are ewarm- ing, the cost of living keeps on going up, the income tax is to be doubled, labor unions are striking and everybody wante more pay. Honest, girls, we are pretty well fussed up for hot weathor. Please don’t get militant right now. Postpone it until autumn so everybody can have some chance of a happy summer. Just for July end August make your vote-getting symbol a amile instead of a hatchet. ‘Help us men, and then we will help you. ————__——- FOR CHILDREN OF THE STREETS. | N JULY 15, in the most densely populated parts of Manhattan Inland, there will be celebrated the opening of « venty-five of The Evening World's play centres for little children of the streets, Where?

No, indeed, they won't, boys and girls, The big policemen ure going to watch over you, Their only chasing will be of trucks and automobiles so you will not have to dodge and have your games spoiled, What « transformation!
