THE DRUNKEN DRIVKR
Every time mi automobile gets into a snuish-up these days,
the police bojrin their investigation by asking, "Was tho
driver drunk?" 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.
