MOKKOW roi KTT OFFICIAL PAPER Porrt A4wtiflns RertreMfitativ THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION SPEEDING MAY BE STOPPED By RICHARD LLOYD JONES. THE "safety First" movement has done much to lessen danjrer every where except on oar streets and Country roads. There the auto toll still climbs. The Safety First move ment has always been to make it safe fur the auto rather than the pedes trian. We aay "Don't jay-walk," but never "Don't jay-ride." There are 10. 600,000 automobiles in the United States. There are hun dreds of legislators who are foinf to introduce in the forty-three legisla tures cow in session or about to con vent laws that will move the Safety First movement out onto the street. In their own Interest the auto man ufacturers, dealers and clubs should line up with the legislative advocates of Safety First, yet in too many in stances they stupidly stand the ground to resist any safety-first leg islation For instance, the Chicago Motor Club puts out combative propaganda which among other fool declarations, says: "There were 10,097 deaths in from infiuenra, and only 10J68 from auto Tehicles, Can you beat that! Mere trifle. Railroads wont allow a man in the locomotive cab who even drinks, let alone gets drunk. The drunkard drives the auto. Hon est lawyers assert that it is difficult to eonvict the driver who crushes or kills because "He didnt mean to," you can't establish the "intent to kill." Among the many remedies proposed are three that are particularly prac tical and behind which there are many supporters. The street car doesnt carry a bumper; it carries a basket for you or me to fall in if the motonnan hits us without criminal intent. Un less jay-riding is promptly stopped unless every jay-driver is promptly jerked off his seat and not allowed to return to the wheel, we are all poing to be compelled to take our bumpers off and put on baskets. The second practical remedy pro rides for safety in our cities Did you ever notice how all autos slow down before a two-inch plank that is laid across the road to protect a hose or pipe? They slow down to spare the springs on the auto. But they don t all slow down to spare the spinal column of the . pedestrian. Well, it is proposed to ridge every walk across street intersections with stones set two inches above the pave ment. Then we will have some care ful driving. And lastly, it Is proposed to make every speedometer town-clock sire, eompe! every car to be equipped with one, and put in on the back. There will be no room for it on the dash board. It will be the diameter of your tire. Then everybody will be able to read your speed. And all this is no laughing matter. These legislators from Oregon to Florida, from Maine to California, are in dead earnest. A people tired of jelly-boned judges, tired of ama teur engineers, tired of drunken drivers, and hurry-up fellows on the road, are going after safety first on the road. The automobile is one of civiliza tion's best blessings, but we do not welcome it to see which ean win the death-toll race, it or influenza. THE STILL SMALL VOICE ! WHEN the son of a millionaire can shoot to death an American sailor boy and walk- out of court without even the formality of a trial when the mother of his victim must stand outside the court, as she weeps in vain, see the man who killed her son drive to his luxurious home in a high-powered motor car, telling his wife he "is so happy," it is time this country revamped its method of ad ministering the law, or at least es tablish some form of recall that would enable the people to drive from both bench and bar those who mal administer a sacred trust. Walter S. Ward, of Westchester County, New York, son of the mil lionaire bread king, shoots to death Clarence Peters, formerly a sailor boy in the U. S. Navy. The police, hot on the trail, get dangerously near to solving the crime. Then the young flayer gives himself np and confesses the cowardly assassination. Ordinarily, such a menace to society would be locked up, tried for murder, sent to the electric chair, to prison for life, or acquitted according to the facts developed. But this was not an ordinary murder. There were millions ready to save the young man from even the shadow of the chair. Father with his influence and untold wealth got into action. Forty thous and lines of bread advertising were plnced with every influential news paper in New York City. Soon the slayer son was turned loose without even the semblance of a trial. The mother of the murdered boy? The voice of the mother was the still, small voice; so still, so small, that she cried as in the wilderness. It will be to the eternal shame of America if the plea of this unhappy mother is drowned by the clink of gold. Governor Smith, of New York, has promised a new investigation. Every mother in America should write a letter to the governor of the great state of New York demanding that the investigation be searching, at least that it be more thoroughly undertaken than the travesty of jus tice that set free the gilded assassin. not discard one of its deepest-rooted tenets to suit the convenience of one of his love affairs. Having failed to cause the church to amend ita laws on the subject of divorce. Dr. Grant attacks other dogmas of the church; the things he vowed he believed and pledged himself to preach he declares he doea not believe and now de nounces. When he is asked to recant or resign, he tells us he is being mar tyred at the stake of creed for his progress! vism. He is merely a malignant. The world has no sympathy for the preacher or for any other man who having volunatrily assumed an obligation of honesty and service seeks to escape it by publicly and privately defaming the other party to it while holding employment with the other party and accepting its hire. From such a man, the world turns in contempt and loathing. If Dr. Grant no longer believes in the tenets of the Protestant Episco pal church, and, therefore, cannot preach the doctrine he vowed to teach. he should resign. As a blatant, her etical, vow-breaking, placeholding, salary-demanding church buster, he does not present a very pleasant spec tacle. ine Spectator. THE DEAD LINE FOR OREGON THE question o f consolidating boards and commissions and giving the people of Oregon a more efficient state government is not new. Two legislatures created commis sions to investigate and prepare bills and twice $10,000 was spent in inves tigations to reduce taxation. The outgoing Governor created a commission to investiagte again on the cabinet or department system but thy never formulated a report. The present Governor won a ma jority election by 35,000, and has a clear verdict of the people in favor of a change in government. Oregon claiming to stand for pro gressive policies has no excuse for retaining a cumbersome, inefficient. irresponsible, wasteful machine. The Hall bill in the Senate makes a start in the right direction by abol ishing a large number of boards, com missions and speckled trout jobs. The people of the state who are not beneficiaries of the old system will be glad to see one to five millions expenditure lopped off. They should make their influence felt in letters, telegrams, and peti tions to uphold the Governor and the Hall bill for departments. Senators and representatives who are clinging to the old system merely to save honors and privileges for hangers-on may never return. The Manufacturer. DAME NATURE TEACHES FARMING THE silent but irresistible forces of nature have brought the comforts of man to their present standard and in all probability eventually will compel the application of a higher science to food production. The old fashioned farmer may resist to the last your new-fangled notions' but Dame Nature will have her way de spite the reactionary tendency. The time is now at hand when the farmer roust solve the problem of the insect. The Agricultural Depart ment has done much to help, but in All likelihood the farmer must work out his own salvation. The Hessian fly could not exist were it not for the growing of wheat, barley and rye; the Colorado beetle would run back to his native weeds were not potato i crops supplied to him as food. The boll weevil could not exist where cot ton is not grown There are few insects that have several food plants, though some may live a little time on any vegetation, but the habits and customs of the pests would indicate that though they are so numerous, it is impossible for i the farmer to cope with them indi-1 vidually, their ill effects can be great ly overcome by a thoughtful system of crop rotation. Not all insects can be controlled in this way, but many of them ean. Seemingly, once more, natural compulsion is going to give us more scientific farming. DR. GRANT COULD RESIGN WITH determined tenacity, the Rev. Dr. Percy Stickney Grant holds his place on the front page in com pany with movie drug addicts, tiger women, Washington scandal-mongers, and similar providers for our daily thrills. The reverend doctor gives every evidence of the deep enjoyment he feels in achieving this distin guished eminence, and shows no de sire to commit self-deposition by re signing from a church whose heads he defies and whose faith he denies. Dr. Grant is trying to give himself the happiness of appearing as a mar tyr. He does not fit the role. By his own admission and confessions, he appears to the world as a disloyal, mercenary, arbitrary, and traitorous preacher, who, having taken certain obligations to the Protestant Episco pal church refuses to keep or ob serve them, because the church will Live Cecil News Items A St. Valentine dance will be given in Cecil Hall on February 10th.

DEBAUCHERY PREVENTABLE. QOMEOXE has said that the mother of debauchery is not joy, but joy lessness. If that is true, then you have a rea son for th debauchery that has soak ed the world in blood and death. There is no joy in sordid material ism. There is no joy in extreme selfish ness. There is no joy in loose passion, greed, and gluttony. There is no joy in materialism, murder, war, disaster. The real joy that feeds the soul is the joy that comes from the spiritual things and from the spiritual con ception of things, and, from partici pation in the spiritual things of life. Therefore, if materialism has pro duced debauchery, if the joyless life has resulted in the drunken debauch to drown the monotony and to awak en the sleeping cords of happiness, then let the people understand that they can come away from that deadly monotony. He who eats of the material food will hunger. He who eats of that Bread which cannot be provided by the world never hungers, and he is never cursed with a joyless moment or with a dull, monotonous hour. He has happiness that cannot be purchased, and he has pleasure con-tinously. The debauchery of life can be pre vented by the spiritual power and food that come with the salvation furnished by Christ.
