The Fool Drivers Go
Free and the Killings
In Our Streets Keep Up

As this IA written, automobile fatal
ties in the streets Of Detroit in August
with the month still young. total SIX.
In the majority Of cases the victims
have been children.
The wounded number ll3.
Among these are many old people.
The automobile, in the hands OF the
speed fool. is particularly rough on chill
dren and old people.
These figures may be found supple
mented on another page of this news
paper. because We write at the tine OF
day when mothers have finished with
the drudgery Of the morning and have
washed and dressed their tots for out 81
doors. for the afternoon play
We trust they will kiss them vel.
The last victim was little Andrew
Topp, aged 6.
Andrew and his sister, Haze aged .
were playing with a toy wagon in front
of their home in Anuetam-sto TUESDAY
evening, having oh just the mosteSt iun'
when
AN AUTOMOBILE CAME THCN-
DERING DOWN UPON THEM.
The toy wagon was reduced TO spin
tiers.
They picked up little Andrew. There
was no life in the terribly crushed form
Near his hfeless body lay Haze.
At the receiving hospital they say she
will die.
The driver Of the automobile, IS years
old, is held by the police.
But there have been other fatalities
due to criminal driving
There have been other arrests and
other drivers have been held by the
police.
Many drivers who have killed people
are out on bail at the present time.
But, it seems, WE CANNOT GET
THEM BEFORE A JUDGE AND JURY.
Our prosecutor seems TO be asleep on
these cases.
He seems to be doing ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING about them
And that is why the killings keep UP.
In all the street killings and maimings
In this city. JUST ONE LONE DRIVER
HAS BEEN SENT TO PRISON.
UNTIL THE FOOL AUTOMOBILE
DRIVERS OF DETROIT WHO RACE
THEIR CARS THRU THE RESIDENCE
SECTIONS. WHERE CHILDREN ARE
AT PLAY, ARE MADE TO FEAR
PRISON TERMS, THE KILLINGS
WILL KEEP Up.
When. Mr. Prosecuting Attorney, do
you propose to come out Of your lethargy
and do something for the pedestrians Of
Detroit and for the children who play
in Detroit?
When will children and old people be
provided an equal chance in the city
where life is worth living?

There's always cantankerous one in
every group.
His general attitude of mind is illus
trated in the story of the immigrant
who as soon as he landed in America
asked his friend who met him at the
boat,
Have We a government here7"
Yes"
Then I'm feminist it,
There is a type of personality for
whom law is something to be broken. a
general opinion is something TO be OPP
posed, prevailing condition is something
20 be denounced. and majority is al
ways a vicious tyrant.
Such a one does not hold particular
view because he believes It's right, but
because most other folks believe it's
wrong
There never was pile of human tim
Der that didn't have this kind Of a crook
ed stick in it.
The hereto is the eternal by-product
of orthodoxy.
There never was a school-room fun of
behaving boys and girls without at least
one juvenile spirit whose middle name
was mischief
There never was a village without its
feminine trouble-naker, nor club with
out one member with a genius for break
ing rules. nor a church without its artist
in dssension. nor family without its
black sheep. nor nation without its
rebelhous section. nor any sort Of hu-
man organization and getting together
anywhere or any time without some ele-
ment in it whose function is TO raise the
devil.
II would seem that when the Potsdam
Pirates had proclaimed anarchy turnout
the earth had slapped our face and
tweaked our nose. plotted treason in our
midst and murdered our unarmed citi-
zens upon the high seas. and when hav-
ing turned the other cheek many times,
and having exhausted all decent peace

rest Of the world n the necessary bust.

But no. There are still those among
us who think Germany is prosecuted,

 The 5Sth went on the march 2200 men in all. He writes: When Com pany G was at the top of a hill, we could look ahead and see the other companies, and it looked like a big, brown caterpillar, bobbing up and down.
