JAIL FOR RECKLESS MOTORISTS

The Richmond Times Dispatch
says il, the sentence imposed by
Magistrate Puryear on the motorlst
who pleaded guilty to recklessiy
driving his car, while intoxicated Is
taken as precedent in Richmond
and Henrico county, as unquestlon'
ably it deserves to be, there Will DC
an end to this particular menace to
life and limb. A day in Jail is not
much, but it is a day in jail, and'
coupled with 500 fine, very diff
ferent proposition from the fines 1t
has been customary to impose III
such cases.
Richmond's experience proves that
fines do not deter. Usually they
are small, and in almost every in
stance the offender is able to Pay
without inconvenience. Such penal
ties are virtual licenses to repeat the
offensc. On the other hand. a jail
term is real deterrent. One day can
be increased to thirty days, and III
aggravated cases to six months Of
year--and reckless motorists know
it.
Magistrate Puryear deserves public
gratitude for setting his colleagues
so salutary an example.
The Richmond Journal comment
ing upon the offensc, says:
"Lucky Ross Cauthorne! Intoxicat
ed and charged with rec!slessly driv'
ing his automobile through the coun
ty when in that condition, he oscar
ed with sentence of one day in jail
fine of s1O0 and costs and bono
of $500 not to repeat his performance
within a year. OF course, the fine i
nothing to the rich young man; j
is the one day in Jail that alon'
I counts. Had he been without mean
4 to employ good lawyer, had he bee,
la poor, friendless drunk, out for ;
| lark, we shuddcr to think what nigh
i have been his sentence. The common
Il wealth's attorney contended strongi
J for Jail sentence, but, Gin considera
ton Of the prisoners plea of guilty
ri + trial Justice made the penalty "a
light as was consistent: But was

AUsTR1A's PLIGHT.

AS expected Roumania's first
movement is to invade Transylvania
that long-coveted territory wherein
dwell several millions Of people CT
similar propensities and blood SYM
pathies. Already, it is reported, ad-
vance cavalry detachments have
crossed the frontier and are pressing
forward into Hungary, with view
to effecting juncture with the Rus
SLAMS. Austria-Hungary is said t.
be in panicky condition, and Ger
many evidently realizes that she VIII
soon be fighting alone, since the dual
monarchy is morally bankrupt. Mon
tenegro and Albania are said to have
revolted and thrown off Austrian
domination and Bulgaria's King
Ferdinand is getting ready to resign
in favor of Prince Boris, who is pro-
French in his sympathies.
The Richmond Journal, In sizing
up the present outlook, says II Bull
garia could be assured of certain
concessions on the Serbian Macedon
ian frontier, the government would
gladly withdraw from the German
alliance; it is not an improbable Sc
uuence. That would leave Turkey
without a near ally and in a desper-
ate plight. Her fatal error in joining
forces with the central powers may
cost her the Dardanelles and Con-
stantinple-for Russia is grimly de-
termined to occupy both and will
give the sultan no quarter. Germany
has recognized the gravity of her own
plight by appointing Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg chief of the general
staff, thereby displacing Won Falken-
hayn and about thirty generals WIZ
opposed, with their chief, the send
ing of troops to the eastern front
to meet the Roumanian invasion.
The kaiser sided with Won linden
burg, who urged that reinforcements
be sent to Austria; hence the military
shake-up. Mackensen will probably
succeed Won Hindenburg as chief Of
command Of the Austro-German arm
les on the Russian and Roumanian
fronts. With Brusiloff holding Won
Hindenburg's forces well in check,
there is little possibility Of aid reach
ing the army of General Koevess ii.
Pennsylvania, who must retreat
quickly before the Roumanians Goa
iesce with General Letchhzky, the
Russian commander in Galicia. 1t
begins to look as if the nippers were
about to close in on the Austrians,
AS for Won Hindenburg, the septua-
genarian general Will need to employ
all his fox-like craft to avoid like
fate for the kaiser's armies.

1s,es mar, issue is whether q President
Eof the United States is to5beI assassl-
mated; in a political sense, for defend
ing i American interests.
When President Wilson defended
American interests against foreign in,
Hpehees did lie commit political SUI
eide? That is she question hicl
American voters are To answer in No
;vember.
The killing Of Americans on the
Lusitania and several other steamers
was il violation of international law
aid the law of humanity. President
Wilson defended American interests
Ly demanding that this sort Of thing
story and5i has stopped. For this the
Gefnian- American Alliance hates him
and is supporting Mr.. Hughes. The
German-American Alliance hates the
President because be defended Arr1erl-
can interests, and the Alliance IS only
concerned in German interests. Are
the American people going to support
President Wilson and American inter
ests, or the GermanlAmerican Al
lance and Teutonic interests There
is no issue to be determined IN NC
vernber that is comparable with that
The export Of munitions has been
open to all buyers. Maritime condl-
lions have been such that the allies
could take advantage of this and the
Germans could not. To change the
law during the war in order to assist
Germany against Great Britain land
France and Russia would have beenl
obviously and unquestionably an I'M
neutral act. J.. would have been a
violation of our obligations as neT-
trail nation. Now the German-Ameri-
can Alliance hates the President for
not urging Congress to stop traffic |
allowed by domestic and international
law, and practiced when it was nett
trail by Germany. Will Americans
vote against the President because he
defended American instead of German
interests? !
Fay, who has just escaped from
he Atlanta Penitentiary, and several
,ther persons engaged in conspiracies
% destroy American factories and
ships carrying American exports and
% make raid from the United
States upon Canada. The German
Government has felt obliged on two oc
.asions to repudiate these actions. ;
Yet the fact that the laws of the Unit !
I'd States, which these conspirators .
were indicated by the con-
fiction of some and the indictment
# others who are are awaiting tria!
myers the German-American Alliance
WITCH is supporting Mr.. Hughes in or
Ter to punish the President of the
United States for enforcing the laws
hereof.
The people of the United States
must choose in November between the
President of the United States, who
defended American interests and neu-
rality and enforced American laws,
md the German-American Alliance.
IRE they going to punish Mr.. Wilson
because he is an American? We do
lot for a moment believe it.

THE USES OF WEALTH

There are men who believe that as Rome grew rich and fell, so Am erica will grow rich and fall. Wealth will beget luxury, and lux ury will breed q weak race of soft-handed men. We shall sur render ourselves to a feverish, un- resting search for gold. The rich will Gespoil the poor and corrupt law. In such a mercenary common wealth, writes a great American teacLer, "the magistrates of the nation will judge for a considera- tiOn, the priests thereof will teach for hire, the prophets thereof will divine for mony, the princes there ot will be companions of thieves; every one loving gifts and following after rewards"
 The error in these doleful predic- tiohs lies in a failure to distinguish between ancient wealth and modern. The analogy with Rome halts on all fours. Rome suffered not because 1t was wealthy Git was poor com pared to the England. France, Ger many or America of tod&y), but be cause it's wealth was ill-gOtten, ill- used and ill-distributed. Wealth came to Italy through exactiOns from conquered populations, not from the Iabors of free Roman Citi- zeus, and such spoliatiOn destroys booty in the taking. Nor did the

 Thus banks are not buyers of securitise now in any large way, nor are the trust companies, and for the same reason, but they are willing lenders upon collateral, and this makes them q potent factor in enabling private bankers to take up foreign-held American securieies and to carry them until they can be sold.
