The record of British justice in deal
ing with the reckless chauffeur is brief
and exemplary, notes the Boston
Transcript. One Max Dallos was
brought before the Guilford assizes,
charged with manslaughter for killing
a schoolboy, and though driving a car
belonging to a noble lord, who, how

found guilty and sentenced to twelve

Moreover, the Judge promised to re-
port the case 10 the Home Secretary
for the purpose of having Dallos eX.
PEELED from the country after his i'm
prisonment had expired. We hope he
will not seek a situation in this coun.

least fit to survive, or whether this
substance, so potent because Of its
peculiar properties, is to be placed
with things too dangerous for general
use."

Rockefeller can do is to use their
brains and their money, not in charity,
but in justice. Wherever there is
trust, tax or tariff that Expresses

value without works. Let Mr.. Carne-

Every college man should partic-
ipate in some sport. Bodily skill and
balance furnish not only healthful and
enjoyable relaxation from the pursuits
of the study. but contribute directly to
ones control of the intellectual facul-
ties. The bare statement OF these un-
disputed truths is condemnation
