Can't Drink And Run Auto

Automobile Commissioner H. A. Roe
has announced another drastic rule for
the prevention of automobile acct
dents. Hereafter the taking of sin
gle drink by the operator of a motor
car during the time that he has the
car out for use will be held sufficient
reason for the revocation Of the opel'-
ator's license.
Some time ago Mr.. Roe announced
that after the occurrence of an auto
mobile accident he would place the
burden upon the operator to prove
that he was not careless. In other
words, he would assume that the oper-
ator was careless when the accident
happened, unless proof We're given to
the contrary, and if such proof were
not given would revoke the license
"You can say for me- Mr.. Roe
said, chat | have made up my mind
to put an end to reckless driving, and
especially to reckless driving super
induced by strong drink, if it is pos
Sible for me to do so.
Distinction Is Difficult.
"To accomplish by purpose, it will
be necessary for me to refuse to dis
tinguish between people who drink
little and those who drink much. |
shall, therefore, in the future revoke
the license of every automobile driver
who is brought before me if it can be
shown that the accused has been
drinking while operating his car.
80 far as | am able to see, this is
the only safe rule to be followed.
Ideas differ so much as to what con-
stitutes drunkenness or as to when a
person is under the influence of LIQUOR.
that it is practically impossible to
rely upon such test
Section l40E of the Motor Vehicle
law declares that no persons shall
operate motor vehicle on the public
highways of this State when intoXicat-
ed or at all under the influence of
liquor or drug, but Section 1879 gives
me the power to revoke licenses for
any cause which | may deem suffi-
cient
81 have concluded and shall so hold
in the future, that the indulgence in
liquor to any extent whatsoever-even
if the accused takes no more than one
drink-will be sufficient cause for re-
voking the license of an operator of a
motorcar.

BLACK EYE FOR BOOZE

The following news article only adds
one more to the many testimonies that
the drink evil is not tolerable in any
sphere of life or in any section of the
earth.

A COMMENDABLE DECISION

We call attention to the article else
where in the WING, wherein Automo-
bile Commissioner Roe states that he
will revoke the license of any operator
who takes a drink while he has the car
out for use. No one can dispute the
propriety of this decision and every
one ought to cooperate in endeavor-
ing to see that it is enforced Every
operator of so dangerous machine as
an automobile ought not only to be
sober, but ought to be entirely free
from any effect of intoXicants. Any
one who does not live up to this condi-
ton ought to be reported and have his
license revoked

WHO MADE THE MESS?

The Wicomico News, of Salisbury,
Md, of which former State Senator
Marion Y. Brewington is the editor, is
one of the strongest and most in
fluential Democratic papers in Mary
land. This is not said for the purpose
of throwing any bouquets to the Wi
comico News, but simply to shed the
right light on its sub-joined criticism
of its sentences:
"There never was session of the
Legislature when so much foolish and
disrupting legislation was put over
the people of this State. Every day
some new thing is discovered which
clearly demonstrates that the last
General Assembly in Maryland ran
without a head and that the people of
the State are really fortunate that
some fellow did not slip through bill
making it easy to hang any of our
best citizens without trial.
We are quite prepared to endorse
this criticism of the last Legislature.
The only thing in the criticism which
we cannot endorse is the statement
that at ran without head" We do
not know where Bro Brewington gets
his authority for that statement. 1t
certainly does not conform to the
facts in the case. That Legislature
was overwhelmingly Democratic in
both its branches. and at the head of
that big Democratic majority was the
Smith Democratic mochine. Over on
the Senate side, where we were in a
position to clearly observe things. the
Smith machine was represented by
Senators Price, Benson and Beck, and
with these gentlemen as its represen-
tatives, it just put through what leg
islation it pleased If there seemed
any sign of a hitch at any time, the
big Boss himself appeared on the
scene. In fact wherever u. s. Sen
ator John Walter Smith made his an
pearance at Annapolis, we formed the
habit of remarking: =" Look out now,
gentlemen; the steam-roller will run
over us shortly it did.
We quite agree that the last Cen
eral Assembly of MARYLAND made a
mess of things We further insist,
however, that the big Democratic ma
jority, which controlled that Legisa-
ture, must accept responsibility for
its record. And we further insist that
the Smith Democratic machine must
accept responsibility for the leader
shin and record of that big Democratic
majority.
We agree heartily with your criti-
cism, Bro. Brewington-but remem-
Der, please, that your own folks did it.

X EEP AGITATING

The editorial which we are herewith
republishing from the Baltimore Sun
only states once again what we have
said over ard over in these columns
and what our fellow journalists have
said in theirs. We are republshing
the Suns editorial, not because it is
at all new, but because it is so ever
lastingy true; and because we be-
lieve this subject should not be allow
ed to evaporate in mere words-spok-
en- or written. We believe it is a mat
ter of vast Importance that should be
constantly agitated until some effec-
tive, practical solution is achieved.
Here is the editorial:

The Automobile And The Law

1t is difficult just now to discuss the
question of protection from reckless
and criminal automobiles with self
restraint and moderation. But we feel
sure that the community is not going
to be satisfied with mere generalities
on this subject and will insist on the
adoption and enforcement of a sys-
TEN that will make pedestrians reas-
onably certain of being able to cross
street in safety. One great trouble
has been that automobiles have been
allowed to violate the law with inn
punity, that they have been made
favored class Of lawbreakers. Another
is that licenses are granted without
sufficient care and examination. The
railroads will not confide their trains
to drinking engineers; why should not
equal caution be exercised in the case
of chauffeurs, amateur or profession
al? And if an offenders license has
been revoked because of bad habits,
should the same man be granted the
power again to put human lives in

MEXICAN MONEY.


P. F Wesphal has some queer look :
ing Mexican money sent him by his
daughter Mrs. Heminray, VINO. VITA
her husband, is now in that revolution
ridden country. He has 5. &c and
20 cent issue of paper money. The 5
and 10 cent pieces are nothing but
small strips of card board properly
printed and numbered. They resemble
an admission ticket to some entertain
ment and are about one and one-haf
inches long by one inch wide. The &c
cent issue is not quite SO large as our
paper money, quality of paper a good
deal like ordinary print paper. Mrs.
Heminray says they have all kinds of
money there and it changes as the for

they did it.
Ten neat and modern homes went

Last year I went at it single-hand-

busy trying to even hold what had
been gained, that only a few people
were interested in the matter. If such
