And that question, buzzing through the air vfiUi jnonotonous frequency, points to an nngle of tho repeal business that is going to need a whole lot of thought. ' Maybe it isn't really connected with repeal at all. We had drunken 'Hrivnra under 'urohiUition. Heaven knows, and there are ptonty of people who will tell or strong waters is increasing vm j- uur, u i iwi .1100 Ing of the dry laws. Uut that part really doesn't nuike much difference. The point is that wo never yet have handled tho problem of the drunken driver with anything like intelli gence; and, in theory at least, the problem has become more pressing now that the sale of liquor is logiu. ,, w Everyone over the mental age of seven years knows pei fectly well that a drunken man has no business driving an automobile. It is equally a part of common knowledge that drunken people do drive nutos every day and every night, and that so far we haven't found any very efficient way of keep ing them from doing so. We need to tackle the problem along two lines. , First, wo need to build up a public sentiment that condemns drunken driving unequivocally and sternly. We need to rocognleo tho plain fact that a drunk behind the wheel of a car la na much a menace to public aafety aa a maniac with a meat ax. The chap who get "atlf" mid Uieu limbs gaily Into his car to drive home Isu't a charming fellow who does amusing things: he la a potential killer, and we need a public opinion Ut J Will tell him ao without hesitation. I Second. w need tighter-laws to deal with the offense, and far atrlcter) enforcement of them tluil most of our laws get. The penalty for driving . While Intoxicated ought to bo heavy enough to make even the most care- j free tippler pause: and It ought to bo applied without any Us, ands. or : puts. Aa we were rcminaeci uy me proniouionisu in ine am ays, gnsouuc and alcoliol nutke a disastrous mixture. It's high time that we found some way of squclclUnff tho crack-brains who persist In trying to use It. DAN GRAHAM DIES; HV RIAL AT ELGIN, ORE. Dan Oraluun. brother of Mrs. J. K.
