California Furnishes
Reckless Auto Drivers

Detroit is not the only city where the
public has become aroused over the
slaughter of people in the streets by
reckless automobile drivers. In Califor-
MIA, for instance. the press of the state
is waging a vigorous campaign against
the speed fiend and the reckless driver
which is proving most fruitful Of results.
AS an example, witness the case of
Mrs. Wolfskill, of Los Angeles, who
pleaded guilty to the charge of driving
an automobile while intoxicated. Mrs.
Wolfskill is a member of one Of the old
est and most aristocratic families in Cal
ifornia, social leader, and a woman of
great wealth. a year or so ago, she
would have been discharged with a rep
rimand or at most a nominal fine. But
not now The trial judge fined Mrs
| Wolfskill $3.50 and, to use his own
words. as additional humiliation" SEN
fenced her to one day in Jail and depriv-

months, with a suspended jail sentence

Pan-Americanism.
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1915. by Frank Crane)

One act of the national administra-
tion deserves unstinted praise.
II was the invitation to the Central
and South American republics TO join
with the United States in finding a So
luton of the Mexican question.
Whether the solution found, the rec
ogntion of the CarranZa party, be the
best OF not, the fact remains that the
method of arriving at that conclusion
was craftsmanship with its face to the
future.
The kind of national feeling that sell
fiShly regards the interests of our own
country only is crammed with vicious
possibilities. 1t means that mischiev-
Gus patriotism which is but national
vanity that racial feeling which is but
pugnacious pride, that kind of reason
ing which is but blind prejudice.
Nations can no more get along to-
gether while each thinks only of self
than individuals can have deceit COM
mGpaH life-iH a-State &c anarchy With
out unity, cooperation mutual conciia-
tion. and harmony there can be only de-
StructiOn.
Civilization is but another name for
vidualism.
This European war is a rapid rever-
sion to barbarism, the unraveling of the
social fabric. progress backwards.
When Secretary lansing called in the
six American republics to take up the
Mexican situation he gave notice to the
world that Pan-Americanism had ar
rived.
Il
much right TO her national life as the
United States has TO her own; that our
superior wealth and armed power con-
tain no threat to the integrity of the
least and weakest sister government.
The cooperation Of the six powers
with us cannot help but add new vigor
TO the rapidly increasing spirit of Pan
American solidarity
And Pan-Americanism is as much bet
ter. safer, and more wholesome than
Americanism (meaninP United States
vanity), as our national patriotism is
better than state pride.
II is step toward the only thing that
can save the world from the hideous,
brutal insanity Of war and that thing
is humanity internationalism as above
nationalism the world concept swallow
ing up the provincial concept.
Besides this the influence Of Pan
American pressure upon Mexico must
be beneficial. Mexicans are not fools.
There are many sensible, thinking people
in Mexico who, powerless under the re-
cent era of anarchy. will soon come for
ward TO assist in directing their coun-
try's future. These can but feel that the
public opinion, not Of the Anglo-Saxon
United States alone. but Of their kindred
Latin-American republics, is worth much
to Mexico.
The self-reStraint and noble patience
of the United States government, mani
tested under the most trying conditions,
with mischief-makers in both nations do
ing their utmost to bring about HOSTILE
ties. have borne magnificent fruit, for
even il Mexico is 20 continue for some
time in her internal broils the ideal OF
Pan-Americansm has been strengthened.
And those people in Europe who think
cannot fail to be impressed with the
more excellent way" in which the ma
tions Of the new world adjust their re-
lations.
Not by fire and sword, but by reason
and patience. are the ideals of the ma
tons TO be realized.

"A Metropolis Plagued
BY Political Malpractice

Comes an upstate Republican diagnos-
tician, Congressman ramton, to consider
Detroit's political symptoms, and to con-
firm the report on the case already sub
mitted by upstate Democratic diagnoS-
ticians.
Any out-of-town practitioner is able to
tell just what ails Detroit politically, at a
glance. There is nothing obscure or baf-
fling in the manifestations of serious dis
order.
Neither is there any variableness nor
shadow Of disagreement in the treatment
prescribed.
The amazing thing is the inability of
local Psychologists to help the patient.
Why should Detroit continue in a moral
decline when it is surrounded by experts.
The Times has given the answer many
times, being absolutely unfettered when
it comes to exposing charlantry and hum
bug on the part of alleged healers.
The answer is quackery. This town is
cursed with great cloud of political
charlatans; with confederacy of fee
splitters.
Of course, it is easy to dismiss the un-
afraid upstate diagnosticians as back
number country doctors.
But it is often noticed in the country
physician that he has appreciation OF
moral as well as of physical values.
The Woodrow Wilson League of Michi-
gan Democrats hoped to lift the stigma OF
boss and booze control of their party in
the city OF Detroit.
They elected their anti-machine candi-
date, but they didn't renovate Detroit
Democracy, because the election of al
anti-boss president proved luscious
thing for the gang that sought to pre-
vent the election of an anti-boss presi
dent.
The patronage of reform administra
ton fell to the old gang.
Respectable Republicans in their las
state convention sought to rebuke tn,

Blues Early Lead.
fBy telegraph to ITO Tribune. J

New Haven, May IA ninth inning
rally by Dartmouth gave the visitors
a victory over Yale BY score OF 70
here this afternoon.
Yale was in the lead most Of the way,
Pumpelly pitching perfectly and not
allowing a hit for seven innings. In
the eighth a combination Of hard hit
ting and shaky fielding by the Yale
inield gave Dartmouth the advantage
In the ninth the visitors put on the
finishing touches. In this inning rum
pelly, in trying to touch runner

Bush, Pie Way was sent in for Pumpelly.
lie struck out the first batter, but with
two men on, Wanamaker drove a long
single. scoring two runs.
Yale made a desperate try IN the
ninth. With one out Rhett tripled and
Johnny Castles doubled. Middlebrook
went in to run for him, and the rally
was ended when Hunters smash to
short hit the Yale captains brother.
lie Cores fielding was good, but the
rest of the infield was unsteady, Yale
making six errors to none for Dart
mouth With better support Pumpelly
might have lasted the game out, as his
pitching for the first seven innings was
the best seen at Yale field this season.
Wanamaker caught great game for
Dartmouth. In the sixth he blotted out
Yale's chances by catching Captain
Middlebrook and Hanes at second.

After Three Years.
lDy Telegraph TO The Tnbne.l

Cambridge, Mass, Nav 1.-THE Har-
ward baseball nine lowered the colors
of the Worcester Academy team to-day,
winning by a score Of 2 to 0.
The Worcester team had won thirty
nine games in a row since the spring
of 1912, when its last defeat was caused
by another Harvard freshman team,
the members of which are now seniors
in the college here.
Hass, the Worcester pitcher, WAS
in fine trim to-day, allowing only four
hits and striking out seventeen Har-
ward batters.
In the sixth inning, however, after
Wych had received u base on balls,
BOyden, of Harvard, laced the ball
down the left field foul line for home
run. After this only eight batters
faced Hass, who famed them all.
Hitchcock pitched a fine game for the
Harvard Cubs, although he did not
have heavy strikeout record. He
had lot of speed. AMI Worcester made
only two hits.

BELMONT COLT WINS
NEWMARKET STAKES
Danger Rock Beats Lefty,
One of Best English
Three-Year-OldS.

London, May 12.-August Belmont's
American bred three-year-ol Danger
Rock won the Newmarket Stakes at
one mile and a quarter this afternoon
from a field Of six other starters.
He was a clever victor over Lefty,
considered up TO this time the best
horse in England, and the race will
make him one of the favorites for the
Derby and the ST. Leger, for which he
is being pointed by Watson, who trains
the Belmont string.
Danger Rock is a son Of Rock Sand
Delusion, and was bred at Mr. Bel
mont's Nursery Stud in Kentucky
Danger Rock is a brother to Defen-
dunn, a four-year-old, and a colt that
was particularly well thought OF as a
two-year-old by Mr.. Belmont, although
he failed TO train up 10 expectations.
This year another Of the same breed
ing will bear the silks of the chairman
of the Jockey Club in Delaney, good
looking bay colt that Sam Heldreth is
training at Belmont Park.
Delusion, the dam OF Danger Rock,
Defendum and Delaney, is daughter
of Meddler Faithful. She was bred
by the late William c. Whitney, and IS
only thirteen years old. She IS bred
along the same lines as Lady violet,
one of the most successful OF the ma
irons az the Nursery Stud. Faithful
was daughter of Longfellow and Miss
Primrose, daughter of The l!l-Used.
Through Longfellow she is close kin
TO the best racing families in America,
and il would be hard to find more de-
sirable blood lines on both sides Of the
Atlantic than Rock Sand and Deluslon.
