RECKLESS DRIVING

The Democrat IS a strong be-
lever in automobiles and the lack
of financial ability is the only thing
that prevents us from owning one.
We are always delighted to see a
new car, either ID the town or
country. So what 1--WE are going
to say is not prompted because of
any antipathy to the car or its
proper use.
We only wish to throw out a
word Of warning to drivers and
those who own machines. The
daily papers are constantly report
ing accidents, and these accidents
are too often the result of careless
ness. Fast driving, reckless speed
ing and handling of the machine
have caused the injury and death
of many. The driving of cars by
young girls is all right, but they
should certainly exercise much
care and caution. The lack Of
physical strength, mature Judge
ment. and Of ability to meet emer-
gencies as quickly, perhaps, as
those Of more mature age and
greater experience, make it abso-
lutely important that the greatest
Of care should be exercised.
The violation of law with refer
ence to speeding and the reckless
turning Of corners should be cut
out, and the officers of the law

years old and is survived by four

number of years. The deceased
was clever man and had many
friends. He was well known to

some staunch friends. The be-
reaved have the sympathy Of the

resided. The burial occurred at

The British and French armies
are doing some intense fighting,
and making desperate inroads on
German territory. Their efforts
have been successful at various
points in capturing important Ger
man positions. Many thousand
Germans have been taken prison
ers. 1t seems to have been the
most effectual fighting that has
been done at any time since the
war began. Reports Indicate that
Germany is suffering heavily. and
that the allies are lighting with
more vim and with such success as
to astound the enemy and to dis
hearten the German soldiery.

PEOPLE IT HAS KILLED


PEOPLE IT HAS KILLED
When war in Europe was started
the evil Of liquor was not seriously
considered. But after war pro-
gressed and the situation became
grave then conditions changed and
governments began to think.
France was the first to act and
absinthe was prohibited and finally
a ban was.Eplaced on all public
houses.
Russia prohibited the sale of
vodka. England has not placed
absolute prohibition into effect,
but England has put such strict
regulations on the sale of liquor
that 1t amounts almost to the same
thing.
If in times of war it is discoy-
cred necessary to prevent the dis
tillation and sale Of liquor why
should not the same principle APP
ply in the time of peace?
Prohibition is the inevitable is
sue. Why make one state dry and
permit another state to remain
wet?
The wise plan is to pass a sweep.
ing act and follow the example Of
Russia, and prohibit the mannfac-
ture, because as long as two and
two make four and the stuff is dis.
titled men will buy it.
The law is a good thing for the
violator of the law. So long as
there IS q loOphole OF escape in 1t,
and so long as the government per.
mits the manufacture of liquor,
loOpholes will be discovered.
It is a poor rule that does not
work both ways. If nations at
war Dissolved the necessity of pro-
hibition there is no reason in the
wide, wide world why nations at
peace should not appreciate the
same necessity.
Il is the opportune time for the
Congress Of the United States to
appreciate the significance of the

President Wilson is having to
fight democratic members of con-

army to fight Germany. This is a
mighty critical time for lightweight
politicians to put their individual
judgment against the mature plans

them the great responsibility Of
directing this war problem

There are many who oppose
CONSUMPTION as a method to secure

an army of any consequence is Sc
cured soon it will be as a result of
