VICIOUS LAWBREAKERS.

The truth of the following cdi
tOrial from the Hutchinson
Kans.. News is being daily EN-
phasizcd in Lake Charles:
The automobile has brought
out a new line Of danger to life
and property and has developed
line Of law violations which are
difficult to deal with. 1t is diff.
fcult to enforce the law against
the autO-speeder, the jay driver
and the vicious, selfish, brutal
crook who thinks only Of his own
pleasure and cares nothing for
the safety or the property Of
Others. Laws have been passed
by state and local authorities but
they are hard to enforce as the
law used to be against bootleg
Ging. It is just as much a crime
to violate one law as another, but
. bottlegger is a better citizen
than reckless driver. The word
reckless" is not the proper one.
It should be "vicious. The po-
lice authorities seem to be afraid
to try to enforce the law and
public sentiment is only aroused
when some one is killed. "A light
fine is not sufficient penalty.
There will be no genuine enforce
ment of the law until in some de.
gree the punishment fits the,
crime. Instead Of merely fining
the vicious driver the law ought
to penalize him by refusing him.
the right to drive. That kind Of
a penalty would put little heart
into the man who now laughs at
the law and is willing to take a
chance on a small fine. The au-
tomobilist who wants to obey the
law would then be helped by the ,
knowledge that if he did not he
would be refused the privilege
OF driving at all. Such a penalty
would make law easy to en-
force. for few auto drivers would I
run the risk Of having an end nut ,

CLEANLINESS AND GOOD
MORALS.

When Fred G.. Athearn, Of
California. was carrying out his
plan for building a chain of club
houses for railway employees
along the Southern Pacific, one of
his friends laughed at him for fin
ishing the bathrooms with white
enamel. you'll be sorry you
didn't finish them with tar and
pebbles by the time the road men
have scrubbed them over with
obscenities." he prophcsied and
there was considerable laughter
at Mr.. Athearn's expense.
Nothing of the kind" re-
torted Athearn. "a man clean
from a good tubbing doesn t
write obscenities because he
doesn't think them. Clean bod
les help to make clean minds.
I'm not only going to finish the
bath rooms in white, but the beds
as well, and every man who
stops, however dirty he is when
he arrives, shall be shown to a
spOtless room with fresh linen.
1t was not an enthusiast s theory;
it was psychologist analysis
OF the effect of suggestion upon
the human mind. Mr.. Athearn
finished his white beds, and the
tired and grease-be grimcd engi-
neers and fireman, dropping into
the club house for the night,
would look from their sotty
overalls to the white sheets and
ask to be shown somewhere s to

A. Meyer, of Calmar, is the Democratic

also that there was tumble in the

that neither mans name was printed
on the primary ballot, though each was
the choice of his party. But the names
of Meyer and Hook were written in by
