Merited Punishment

We congratulate the city magistrate cn the heavy sentences he imposed upon two drunken men who tried to drive automobiles. That their efforts resulted disastrously to other persons the road probably added nothing the weight of the sentences. Any how it ought not have had that effect The fact that a drunken is sitting at the steering wheel of an automobile in motion. is sufficient warrant for the heaviest punishment the law allows. We trust that the court will henceforth not scale down penalties for offenses of this character but whenever an automobile driver is brought before it and shown have been drunk, the court will IT. range matters that the defendant. drunk or sober will drive another automobile, within the ensuing hundred days
 We believe the police are fairly vigant in the forcement of the traffic regulations but they exceeds the speed limit who drives the wrong side of the street who cuts corners and who passes vehicles at street crossings. But when they do see one of these offenders and he is brought into such a punishment should be administered would be really punitive and at the same time exemplary In no other way can some people be brought to ob- the traffic regulations
 There is regulation forbidding the driving of a along the city streets by children Yet the other day boy of not more than twelve was pioting along heavily travelled thoroughfare. He careful; the lookout for trouble observant of all the rules of the road could be seen that he the kind of boy who would lose his head in an emergency such is always liable cross ing, and contribute to a smashup
 The foregoing the dangerous infractions of the law and leniency should be shown dealing with them. The offenders may well, but they menace to themselves and all who use the road. Lenency toward them is encouragement of whole sale disregard of traffic rules

A Call to Service

It Parthan shot that D. A. Windes of the selected men who left last night for the canton ment delivered yesterday afternoon at the "slackers in the of his very frank address at Riverside Park. By "slackers" do not alone the young who evaded registration for the draft alone the men who by pretext another have escaped military service We any man, whether of registration age not, who fails to give his full support the who going the front who withholding the government any service they render to it in this time of its need.
 We have in mind especially and think MT. Windes had in mind those myopic individuals for whom ther petty affairs their little busi- nesses farms their their shops obscure the greater affairs of the nation and the world; who see in the war not fiery of democracy, world at stake, but only opportunity make more money than they could make in time of peace.
 These are the "slackers' the speaker meant They may have bought a Liberty Bond; they may have given themselves credit for a Red Cross sub scription but that has been of their service They have turned deaf to the call upon them for more.
 Against their little sacrifice have the great supreme sacrifice of the who have given up everything earth that dear to them-except honor-for their cpuntrS, home friends parents

 wife and children they have given up their time at a vital period of life in which the foundation of is laid-t may be only months, it may be years They have offered their lives with the certainty in the of many of an acceptance of the offer
 No man, however narrow however selfish, how much lacking in patriotism could have heard that challenging speech without awakening spirit of patriotism.
 The cheering thousands that bade the boys god speed at the depot visibly impressed by the occasion Nothing had before stirred the hearts of the people of this community. May their hearts remain stirred least through the war and may every citizen perform war service-not lip service.
 It should be the duty of every to whom the opportunity fight his country has been denied embraced that soldiers dependents suffer want; to remove from the mind of the at the front all apprehension regarding the we'll being of those he left behind

Tucson's SwaddIina Clothes

There is said to be opposition to Tucson's pro- posed new charter, that is, outward opposition, but the friends of the charter have discovered the tracks of small employees of the city who regard their petty jobs of greater importance than a city government. They have been going about to taxpayers telling them that the charter proposes to remove the limit from taxation The present maxi mum rate is $1. The taxpayers led infer that under the charter the city will be plunged into a slough of extravagance.

( The fact is that Senator Brown is on

that he knows it. He is endeavoring by

There was delay in the enactment of a
food control law. The law when enacted

No Fit Lincoln Sculpture
,Lo Editor ~ The Tribune,

Sir: II the vast and unique personality OF
Lincoln had impressed Saint-Gaudens as did
that Of Farragut, as evinced in the vital and
beautiful statue in Madison Square, we should
have statue Of the first great American OF
infinite truth and charm; but it did not, and
we have instead work not worthy OF the
accomplished Saint-Gaudens at his best.
If Mr.. Barnard had given about fifty OF the
hundred days he devoted to the study OF the
Volk life mask to the Mills death mask and
td"Marshall's incompatible line engraving, ne
would have avoided the crudities that mar
large, distinctive conception and vital render
ing of the individuality of Lincoln.
As it u.s. it may be that neither work would
add greatly to the interest of the truly Brit
ish but not inspiring sculpture now in London.
SO it might be just we'll to let 1t go until
we have something better to send.

The Apple Instinct

from The Philadelphia Public Lcdgcr
II is not without reason that the serpent
chose an apple for the temptation of Eve,
thereby insuring his chances Of success In
que course the race Of man falls anew each
year when the first shining beauties appear
in the markets. There is something about
an apple that starts mighty longing in the
human breast; perhaps a tang of the high
and far-of times of youth which never quite
fade, days when the long grasses. wet with
early October dew, reluctantly revealed 10
the late rising sun the treasures hid in their
tangled depths. Days when you munched ap
pie after apple on your way to school and
how they chilled your front teeth always
finishing core in time to hit the tenth fence
post beyond.
The mists of memory dissolve, but the
apple comes every year, bringing Joy to the
hearts of all who love its personality even
better than its taste.

proper profits. those who coin money out
of the necessities Of the workers. NO
honorable and honest food distributor or
dealer objects to the brand of food control
proposed or. indeed, to food control under
even a more drastic law than this state S.
Only the profiteers can be hurt by 1t; only
they have an interest in the postponemen'
of its taking effect and the prolongatioh
of the existing dog eat dog conditions.
Senator Brown may dislike being pllor'ed
as their defender and agent, but that, IN
effect, is what his course regarding food
control has made him. The remedy lies
with him.
Much harm has already been done,
which can be undone with great difficulty
if at all. But further harm to the work
ers. especially to the very poor OF the
great cities, who now cannot afford to buy
the proper food they need, can be avoided
if Senator Brown will cease his opposition
to the confirmation Of a well balanced and
desirable food control commission.

Kind Words for Spartanburg

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: For the last month | have had full OPP

ity the people OF Spartanburg, their attitude
and their methods. On the basis Of what |
know ! want to correct the impression which
The Tribune is partly responsible for giving,
that the citizens here are distinSu shed main
ly for their greedy desire for profits at the
expense of the soldiers. Quite the contrary
is true While an occasional unpatriotic
profteer is sure TO emerge here and there IN
body of $1,000 citizens, such cases have
been exceptional and unrepresentative. The
strongest popular opinion, as voiced by the
Chamber Of Commerce, the newspapers and
the leading townsfolk, is directed against any
rise in prices or unfair treatment of the New
Workers. Such opposition is not merely vocal,
for provision is made for recording and act
ing against any sporadic of extortion.
II is the opinion of impartial observers
here that Spartanburg has already a remark
able record for the justice and cordially OF
it's treatment of the soldiers. Upon the Guard
already here the townspeople have made a
most marked and happy impression, not only
of fairness but of warm frendiiness. As Gen
eral Organ says, "The civilian inhabitants
OF this section Of the country have shown in
sire to do everything in their power to aid
the country and the army"

sensible and satisfactory way. There is no
excuse for enduring the continued pubhca-

whole recent past demonstrates that so
far as they dare they are seeking to strike

We arc patient people, long suffer

hesitate TO use the knife lest we should

besitated. but the time for hesitation has
passed.
The Tribune hopes that, without more
DELAY and without further hesitation, Con-
gress will enact law prohibiting the
publication during the period of the war
of any newspaper or magazine in the Ger
man language. The extent of the evil has
been measured. 'The gravity Of the situa-
