A Just Judge.

At the opening of the Madison
Circuit Court last week Judge Shack
elford called the attention of the
grand jury to the fragrant violations
of the motor vehicle law in the city
of Richmond and Madison county.
He said the law strictly forbids a
drunken man from operating an auto
mobile; that children under sixteen
years of age were also forbidden to
operate an automobile, and there are
certain rules regulating the speed of
automobiles in the city and county.
He said drunken men were driving
machines; children who could not
look over the wheels were driving
them; that negro delivery boys in
the city were driving them reck-
lessly; that many persons would run
at a high speed through the streets
without lights at night and fail to
give warning at crossings and street
corners. He said he had seen sew
eral narrow escapes of people, and
that this reckless driving was a great
menace to the safety of the people,
and especially to aged persons and
children on their way to and from
school. He said it would be all right
il the fool drivers would kill them
selves, but they were liable to hurt
somebody else, and he urged the jury
to thoroughly investigate these viola
tions of the motor law.

Woman'S LOYALTY

During the second week in Octo-
Der the country will be able to cor
rectly gauge the patriotism of its
women. Every woman in the country
is asked to register during that week
for whatever service she feels she
can render her country in this great
crisis of its history. We have been
used to boasting of the splendid 10y
atty of our women, and we have al
ways had whereof to boast. Thus far
in the present conflict their response
to the calls made on them has been
spontaneous and most gratifying.
But greater demands yet will be
made. Their work is in no sense in
ferior to that of the men, although it
may differ very materially from it
in the element of thrill" They will
be called on to take up and bear
woman's age-old burden-patient en-
durance and helpful ministration.
That their response will be even
more enthusiastic than it has ever
been, there are none who doubt.
