Making Streets Less Dangerous.

From the Chicago News.
That the automobile has introduced an
other serious element of danger into
metropolitan streets is not to be denied
This applies to all large cities. They
face a common problem. Local interest,
therefore. attaches to a recently pub
lished dispatch from London announc-
ing that better control OF power-driven
vehicles in the English metropolis is
likely to be recommended by a select
committee for action by the House of
Commons. Londons commissioner Of
police suggests, among other things, that
reckless driving, as well as drunkenness
of drivers, be made a penal offense
American cities ordinarily follow foreign
cities in such matters. For example,
Gov. Sulzer, of New York, establishes
a penitentiary term for any person who
This Is the first law Of the kind in the
United States. There are still other pre-
cautions, however, which must be taken
to make streets safer. This Is indicated
by the fact that the number of persons
killed in Chicago in 1912 by motor-driven
vehicles was in the neighborhood of 100.
One Of the perils, OF course, is the vari-
ETY. of speeds of different types Of We
hicles. The London commissioner of
police purposes to work toward equaliza-
ton of speed. Separation OF traffic of
different speeds is another possibility.
Certain streets, for example, might be
set aside for slow-moving teams and
others for the more rapid automobiles

Naval Strength of the Nations.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Germany and England have reached
an agreement according to cable dis
patches to the effect that the naval
status OF the two nations shall remain
substantially as 1t is at present; that
is, that future naval construction shall
contemplte sixteen first-class battleships
for England TO every ten for Germany.
This agreement may be hailed with
satisfaction by every lover of peace
throughout the world. inasmuch as II
seems to indicate that these two ma
tions understand the futility of a race
in the assumption OF naval burdens and
recognize the nevessity existing to Eng
land for maintaining large naval es-
tablishment. AS a war between them
would probably be a matter of naval
strength, the probabilities of conflict are
lessened.
But there is lesson for the United
States in this. England and Germany
have by no means agreed to disarm.
They have both planned for large in
creases in their navy this year and for
several years to come. 1t is the British
policy to maintain a naval strength so
per cent greater than the next strongest
naval power, which now is Germany.
and to the agreement recognizes this
necessity

4 Recipe for Success.

Los Angeles Disratch to the New York Times
Henry E. Huntington, who at the age
of sixty-three Is retiring from business as
rapidly as possible, but whose fortune of
$40, 100000 or s50,O0o,Ooo will keep right on
working for him. said that the habit of
saving paved the road to wealth Mr.
Huntington will leave Los Angeles for
New York. and plans to sail soon for his
first trip to Europe. He has been busy
here retiring from business, and he will
keep at 1t in New York until he starts
abroad.
Mr.. Huntington believes that this is an
age OF great opportunity for young men,
and this is his recipe for success:
Save a little every week, and when
you get an increase of wages or salary
continue to live within the former limits
and save the increase.
IF you find ii difficult to save 60 in
debt for home or undertake some other
obligation In the way of investment that
will compel you to save.
''1n these days, of course. the average
man has better opportunity to win sue
cess in salaried position than in individ-
ual enterprise. The big enterprises pay
big salaries at the top. and close applica-
ton will win promotion toward these
bigger rewards. 1t is not necessary for
man to get a big salary before he begins
to put money aside and start in working
for him."

The Nominations in Congress over

If the new tariff bill is to close fac

derwoods statement in caucus that he
knew the tariff law would close some
factories merely voices a belief in the
minds of many manufacturers. Condi-
tons will be worse. however, if there
is a long delay in enacting the law.
There is some political advantage to
be gained by the opposition party if it
aggravates the business situation by
protracting the tariff debate If hard
times come, the Democratic party will
be held responsible. 1t is permitted
to hope that neither party will descend
to playing politics. To postpone action
merely to gain partisan advantage will
not so easily be tolerated in the future
as in the past.
The Republicans really gain nothing
by fighting the bill in the House. The
