With bright spring weather here, it might be well to turn our thoughts to the somber hazard on city streets now, before tragedy has marred the summer for some child or parent. Although Ashland enjoys a comparatively accident- free flow of traffic, nevertheless a constant vigilance on the part of all drivers must be maintained. 1 ar- ticularly should motorists be on guard through the residential district, where the sunshine has brought out the children. Youngsters, playing marbles, tag, flying kites, throwing balls—early-season indulgence in these things often make them forget caution and tiaffic. It is up to the motorist to make allowance for thought less pranks of children. Downtown, too, with children and old folks on the streets more than ever, drivers should slow down at crosswalks and be ready at ail times to stop or swerve to save the skin of some pedestrian whose mind might be on other things. And as for fault, what succor does it give a tot’s broken body to know that the blame was not the driv er’s? The goal of all motorists should be to eliminate, as much as is humanly possible, all accidents. ★ ★ What 01hi Are Si OF ALL THINGS! N’lll.l.

Consequently, the New Deal was swept into power the brink in 1932 is to ignore the desperate circum stances and thoughts of millions of people.) by a people convinced that democracy must prove itself or admit inadequacy. And people, with empty stomachs, are not patient. The New Deal announced its reforms and action followed word. Emergency ex isted, and we got emergency results: confusion, mis understanding. duplication, waste. But we got action that saved the day. Now, several years later, we have gained perspective and realize the inefficiency of those r < f black days in 1932-33.

The fault has been in our habit of postponing re form until a crisis forces the issue and thrusts us into a wasteful haste to do suddenly something that should have been accomplished by gradual transition. A- RUSSIA PROFITS BY COMPARISON! Exactly why the American people, at least in print, are so bitter towards the Soviet Union has always been a mystery to this department. Perhaps the hotbed of communism does lie in Russia, but what of it? In the plans of rehabilitation and rejuvenation of Europe and Asia. Russia has been pursuing the happy course of internal reform; hers has been a job of self help and improvement. Conquest, to Russians, means the attacking of economic and political problems at home rather than the murder and invasion of a neigh boring people who possess coveted riches. The most outstanding difference between the po litical philosophy of Stalin and Hitler—from this dis tance, at least—appears to be that Stalin does his head-whacking in his own country while Hitler cracks the skulls of his helpless neighbors. Whether Stalin’s course is right or wrong, the rest of the world can thank their Creater that his ambition lies within Rus sia and not outside it. Perhaps The Miner just doesn’t comprehend some facts of life, but we can’t get all het up about the Red Menace that frightens Willie Hearst and certain other flag-wavers. Stalin seems to be doing a good job of minding his own business and the notion persists that the lot of the average Russian has improved consid erably during the last 15 years. ★ ★ ★ HASTE MAKES WASTE! That much of the New Deal reform has bogged down with its own weight and that some of it has been definitely a failure there can be little argument—even by such partisans as this little democratic weekly. But then it should be remembered that few, if any, governmental undertakings are ever wholly successful, especially in a democracy. Perhaps the greatest fault with the New Deal’s modernization of some functions of government and business was the haste with which the reforms came. They were the result of last-minute acknowledgement of an accumulated and critical pressure. Had gradual reform followed the gradual develop ing need for change, then that reform could have come about with less impact. The progress of governmental theory, had it been continuous, would have occasioned no great wastes of effort and funds. However, climaxes in the political and economic field had been let develop to the point where drastic—and immediate—action was the alternative to possible internal revolt and civil uprising.
