PROTESTS AGAINST RECKLESSNESS
Editor FL Paso Herald
On Monday night a little boy from
one of the homes on Mckinley avenue
was run into by a speeding motorcy-
Gle. while ne was crossing the street,
and so seriously injured that his life
is despaired Of.
Hardly DAY goes by that some
person in FL PasO is not killed or in
Jured on the streets by automobiles or
motorcycles in charge of careless and
irresponsible drivers, and l believe the
time has long been ripe for some i'm
mediate and drastic action IN cOnnec-
ton with this matter on the part Of
the city and county authorities
Aside from the many accidents which
actually occur, there are also many
hair breadth escapes. and anyone driv-
ing machine has no doubt personally
Witnessed numerous occurrences Of this
KIND
The speed laws governing the oper-
alton Of power vehicles in Fl Paso are
without doubt thoroughly understood.
and with this knowledge. the drivers
of machines who so utterly disregard
these laws, should be subject to moth
ing less than criminal action.
It is the right Of every man. woman
and child to cross the streets at the
proper intersections whenever they
may desire, and with this right they
have every reason TO expect that the
city and county authorities will do
everything possible TO protect them to
the extent of seeing that these care
less and irresponsible speed fiends
should comply with the law, and be
gwen the extreme penalty if they do
not do so. \ persistent and active
campaign against these violators of the
traffic ordinance will bring them 10
their senses. and save a great deal OF
future suffering and sorrow in FL Paso
homes
/ should also ike to inquire what
has become of the DINNER ordinance,
or at least why il is not being prop
eriy enforced? a binding headlight
is of the greatest danger. not only TO
pedestrians. but to automobile drivers
as well. and I venture TO say that there
are hundreds of machines driving at
night on the streets of Ell PasO that
are not equipped with dinners, as re-
quired by the law.
There are row several satisfactory
kinds OF dinners on the market. which
conform to all requirements. and serve
the purpose for which they are in
tended, and if the owner OF an auto
mobile does not equip his machine
with these safety devices. he should
rot be allowed 10 drive on the city
and county roads.

The British Blacklist

Great Britain has published a blacklist comprising
individuals and firms engaged in business in the United

blacklsted persons and firms supposed be Ger

sumption of the British empire that these Germans

The interests of the United States in way
considered in this British edict 1t assumed the Brit
ish empire has right direct the actions of its subjects
the imperial law allows. In this instance the black
list is authorized under the trading with the enemy act
measure.
However, it is open to question whether a decree

friendly act In this case German Americans who have
been American citizens for nearly quarter of a
fury have for months been victims Of Brain's
