carelessness that eventually passes to
a point of .danger. Even the worker
in a powder factory; the dynamite
jockey and a score of others working
|n hacarddus employments or posi
tions become s<> accustomed to the
deadly ceobnodities they continually
tamper with that they feel invulner
able to the deadly aspects of th« same.
The motorist conies in this category
of operatori,” sa^s George O. Brand
enburg, general manager of the Ore
gon State Motor Association. -
According to Mr. Brandenburg, the
motorist, tike those handling dyna
mite or other deadly items, has be
come careless thrftugh yean of close
affiliation and contact with the auto
mobile. Today we find motorists
whizzing through traffic; speeding
down highways and arotdtd ¡curves
as though going to a fire. Time seems
to be exceedingly valuable to most
motorists, even to the poim- of en
dangering their *^wn lives is well as
the lives of those about them.
In contrast one must look back
but a few years when the auto was
new. Then there were many who re
fused to even rifdd in one.
They
threatened to rule them off the street»
in many of ohr large cities. Ordin
ances were passed placing the speed
limit at rkficuloosly low paces: all
because they were considered a men
ace on the streets and highways.
Through years of contact and close
affiliation this dread end fear has been
worn away Until the tendency now is
to lean the other Way.
Motorists
are too apt to becotpe unmindful of
the damage that is possible with a car
moving even at a moderate rate of
speed if not properly controlled. The
honk of an auto horn means nothing
to many pedestrians, and the papers
are filled with mishaps resulting from
a carelessness that has been created
by too great a contact with an object
that is a convenience in transporta
tion, but which may be made a haz
ard in its cVfless manipulation.

- BLOCS AND FACTIONS
. -
------------
While economists are agreed that
in wealth and prosperity the United
States leads all nations, they differ as
to basic elements entering into our
national progress. ’ Some say the
United States profited by the manu
facture and sale of war material and
by the increase induced by the war
in price of our food and other prod
ucts. Others contend that our pros
perity is due to vast natural resources,
developed because of the war, and to
lack of production abroad during the
war. Still others says, and more logi
cally, that it is because of modern
methods and machinery United with
natural resources, thrift and industrial
diligence.
But there is another basic reason,
apparently overlooked—the homogene
ity of public opinion in the United
States, as coutra distinguished from
the heterogeneity of Europe.
In the United States we have two
great political parties, one is a check
on the other. If the party in power
fails to meet the public needs, it re
quires no great amount of change in
the public mind to transfer power to
its opponent.
European nations are divided into
many political factions, no one faction
strong enough to have control To
form a majority, two or more factions
must coalesce or combine, resulting in
control by coalition which in turn is
achieved through compromise of prin
ciples or policies, effecting a combin
ation inherently weak and vulnerable.
The condition oi France today, is
due as much to factions and factional
disharmony in the legislative branch
of the government as to th« effects of
war. Due to the inherent weakness of
factional control, no sooner does a
coalition cabinet or government un
dertake legislative action than it top
ples and falls.
No nation and no people can grow
and prosper under such conditions If
there is a lesson for the people of the
United States in the financial and in
dustrial chaos of European countries,
it is that we must avoid blocs and
factions and continue to chart our
course through the medium of two
pretty evenly balanced parties. This
may not promote the demagogue, but
it will promote national progress and
prosperity.

dangerous side of motoring, when we
appreciate its conveniences, and not
become too case hardened from such
mindfulness in our constant contact
with them. The news of accidents in
the papers continually remind 'us of
these hazards, but we have becom« so
accustomed to such stories we do not
even heed them, until the story is
driven home by an accident that in

like an emergency brake when the
