Three Killed, Two On Monon, One In Gary
HELLO BILL DON'T FORGET THE ELKS PICNIC WEDNESDAY
MOTORCYCLE
DOUBLE RIDING
FORBIDDEN

Milwaukee. Aug. 13-The sight
of girls clinging to the rear seats
of motorcycles has goaded City
Clerk Peter F. Leuch until he has
decided to frame an ordinance abol-
ishing the practice.
With this end in view, he wrote
letters to all the larger cities of
the United States. asking for re-
ports on any regulations which
may be in effect relating to this
form of JOY riding.
The question involved is not. on
ly one of safety. but of decency,"
said Mr.. Leuch. Tn the course of a
short trip through one of our city
parks on Sunday, / saw no less
than fifteen youths driving motor
cycles at the greatest speed the
law allows, with girls clinging to
them in the intimate manner re-
quired when two people try to oc-
cupy a space arranged for one.
No man can drive an automo-
bile with a girls arms around his
neck or stomach. to say nothing of
a two-w wheeled vehicle, where abso-
lutte equilibrium and control must
be maintained constantly"

WANT GOOD MEN? ADVERTISE
ArbuckIe Goes to AID Columns of
Newspaper When in Need of
Able Assistants.

John Arbuckle, whose name is ia
miliar to the wholesale grocery trade
believes in advertising. Consequently,
when he found he needed a first, sec
ond and third assistant at salaries of
$4,000. $4,000 and $500 year re-
spectively, he spread knowledge of
his need through the advertising col
umns of New York newspapers.
eff you want to get good men to
work for you you've got to pay money
and let them know how much they're
going to get. That's why put in the
salaries" said MIR Arbuckle, who evi-
IDENTIFY knows human nature To an
nounce what the job will pay" at the
start is a good preliminary to nego-
tiations.
Mr. Arbuckle has set good exS"'l-
pie to men of big business interests,
says the Chicago Record-Herald. When
in need of a man, advertise. In Ger
many cities advertise for mayors, for
a German mayor is employed on his
merits; in the British colonies many
public employees are sought through
newspaper advertisements. Perhaps
not every business man could set
forth his requirements and the posi-
bilfties of his service SO humorously
and unconventionally as Mr.. Ar
buckle, but he could say enough tC
cause ambitious and able men to re
spond to his advertisement The "helr
wanted" columns have great possibili

THE MORAL OF THE SASSER CASE

Seven years ago Sasser murdered
Parker, down in Screven county.
Twice he was convicted of the crime,
Each time his lawyers succeeded il
getting a new trial Finally on Tues
day he was acquitted.
What is the moral of the Sasser
case? Is it other than that if a man
accused and convicted of a crime has
money enough and can get shrewd
enough lawyers to tide him over for a
few years eventually he will be free.
Witnesses die, witnesses move
away. the edge of the crime is worn
off, the public become weary of the
expense and annoyance, and finally a
jury decides to let the criminal go.
Is Sasser any the less guilty of muir
der in 1912 than he was in 1905 or
than be was in 1907?
Certainly not.
The first time he was found guilty
Sasser's attorneys secured a new trial
because one of the jury had read
something about the case in a news
paper while on the jury, The second
time he was convicted the Supreme
Court held that the judge had erred
about admitting some testimony. Prob
ably if he had been convicted the
third time some other excuse would
have been found for another trial.
On technicalities purely this man
Sasser, whom everybody in the county
seems to really believe guilty of muir
der, finally succeeded in getting free
And it is but sample of many cases
that tend to bring justice, as admin
istered by the courts under the exist
ing system, into disrepute.
And yet wonder is sometimes eX-
pressed why lynchings take place or
men adjust their wrongs by means Of
the pistol. Such cases as this Sasstr
case gives the reason.
