cording to an announcement made
this morning by George II. Kerr, in

any time. day or night, by a police
office and failure to produce a blue

thing, jail And he cannot get out

Kerr says that all who failed to reg

who make the same statements.
but when the racing season opens
you find them at the speedways
trying their cars out.
Champion Will Get Good Prize
The speedway champion of 1917
besides winning prizes and wealth,
will be presented with the famous
Bitten Benz II. Everyone that
has followed up the racing game
will recall this notable car, for the
late Bob Burnam won many races
and established some records that
have stood for years with a Benz
car. One of his records was made
with this car at Ormond in 1911,
when he averaged almost l42 miles
an hour. And still another racer
that has made history for the auto
mobile is Teddy Tetzlaff who, in
1914. was claimed to have bettered
Burnam's record when at Salt
Lake City with the same car as
Burnam used, but the record was
not official on account of his car
hurdling the time wire. These
men are not in the racing business
for their health, for they do not
know at what minute while they
are sending their machine at top

game is so fascinating that these
men cannot give it up. They keep
putting it off and saying, well,

But you notice the hand of death

retire if the chances are in your
favor, and not in favor of death,

For example: Resta gave out the
announcement that he is through

magazine on automobiling, gives
an article in one of its issues
claiming that for eleven hours, one

The Magma Charta
THIS great document,
I granted by King John

Of Engla nd at Runnymede.
near Windsor, on June Is,
1915, occupies a most con-
spicuous place in history.
1t is the great bulwark of
English liberty, and estab.
lished the law of England
over the will of the mon
arch, and in reality was the
foundation Of liberty as we
know it to-day.
erhaps this great char
ter would not have come
into existence at that early
date if it had not been for
the utter selfish and de-
spicable nature of King
John. who had the idea in
grained in himself that no
one had a nv rights or
privileges on e a art h but
himself. He rode rough
shod over both rich and
poor alike until at last the
great barons rose up in
their wrath and forced
him at the point Of a gun,
f1guratively speaking, to
give the people Of England
the rights and privileges
as set forth in the Magma
Charta
Some Of the principal
features of t he Great
charter are that Justice is
no longer to be sold. de-
MED or delayed. The pro-
lection of life. liberty and
property from arbitrary
spoliations is guaranteed.
N o freeman shall be taken
or imprisoned. or be diseiz-
ed of his freehold. or liber-
ties or free customs, or be
otherwise damaged, nor
shall we pass upon him
nor send upon him, but by
lawful judgment Of his
peers or by the law of the
land q provision which
recognized a popular tri-
bunal as a check on the
| official judges, and may
be looked on as the founda-
tion Of the writ Of habeas
corpus. Another principal
feature is that no one is to
be indicted on rumors or
suspicion, but only on the
evidence. Of witnesses.
And many other features
too numerous tn mention
here are embodied in it
that have long since be.
come the constitutional
law of not only England
and the United States but
Of many other countries
where the people enjoy
constitutional privileges.
