TIE Tinles-Reeord has more than
once remarked aoour reckless driving
BY automobile drivers and We are go
ing once more to call their attention
10 this matter. There are two or
three fellows driving delivery wagons
that are going 70 get into trouble
some day By the way they cut around
corners at street crossings We are
not going to mention names this time
but if the practice is not stopped we
are not only going 10 give the names
but We are going TO call the attention
Of the police department 10 them.
This reckless driving is more notice
able on side streets where children
are playing in the streets. These
drivers may say that the children
have no business in the streets. To
this vie are going to say that they
have right TO the streets just as
much az the automobile. OF course
it is their business to look out and
keep out Of the way of auto mobile
traffic, but that gives no man right
to break the speed limit and endanger
the lives Of anyone. We have speed
laws and no man has right to drive
a car above that limit. He should
be running his car UNDER PER
Feet CONTROL that he could stop it
within few feet. We are not trying
to stir up any fuss for anyone but we
are trying to impress on the minds
Of drivers the terrible responsibility
they have with their cars. It is very
easy to take human life-but no hui
man power can give back that life
taken. Let us all practice safety and
have a regard for other people.

The election of Senator Hitchcock.
Of Nebraska, to the Craftsmanship of
the foreign affairs committee of the
United States senate by the demo-
Gratis, is not calculated, to make the
dems feel very proud of their act of
partisanship. Mr.. Hitchcock has been
against the administration strongly
when war was declared and if he is
toting square now it is before it has
become a force of habit brought on
by public pressure. The allies will be
doubling our sincerity considerably
when they learn of his election.

McPeek, Who shot and killed his
poor wife in cold blood in this city
four years ago, has been paroled. He
was lucky TO escape the hangnaan's
nooge at the time and he undoubtedly
considers himself very fortunate
that he received sentence of but
twenty years. He must now be shak-
ing hands with himself over his sue
cess in inducing the board of par
dons to parole him. The Independent
remembers well the story of the kill
ing Of poor Mrs. McPeek. The couple
had had some trouble and McPeek
went TO the Shaw residence where
Mrs. NcPeek was living, and not sue
ceeding in efecting reconciliation,
shot the defenselesg woman down in
cold blood, then like the coward he
was, sneaked through the back alleys
to the Jail, where he begged for pro-
lection. A man of his calibre has no
business running at large and the
board Of pardons certainly could not
have been correctly Informed in his
case or he never would have been pa
rolled. The governor and other mem
bers of the board of pardons should
look into the case further. The In
dependent understands that John
SteR, the Ward county farmer, who
shot and killed his wife, after she
had hidden in a barrel, has either
been paroled or pardoned. He too got
of mighty easy, his sentence being
but ten years. The man should have
been retained in the penitentiary I'M
til the very last day Of his term. Be-
ing easy with murderers only encour-
ages crime. Perhaps the murder of
Officers Pat Devaney and Kersey
GOWN near Minot Friday night can
be charged up to just such meth
DDS with criminals. The man who
steals few automobile tires, if con-
victed, might have to serve almost as
long term as Murderer Stef did for
instance, and rather than suffer him
self to be captured, he did not hest
tate to commit murder. Capital pun
ishment has been dispensed with in.
North Dakota and since such is the
case, no murderer should be particu-
larry favored.-Minot Independent.

DEVIL DOGS

Paris, May 11.-U. S. Marines in
France are rapidly acquiring new
sobriquetts.
The Germans, terrorized by their
maniacal fighting, have dubbed these
Americans Devil Dogs"
But the French who have come in
contact with the Marines refer to
them as "the millionaire soldiers"
due to the fact that Marines are con-
stantly dividing their pay with the
French women and children who need
help. In many instances Marines
have been known to give up their en-
tire months pay to purchase food for
destitute French families.
And the Marines are proud of both
titles.

If woman wears high-heeled shoes
and slips upon the sidewalk, she has
contributed to her own disaster and is
not entitled to any damages. Such is
the ruling of the state supreme court
Of Washington, in the case of Ruth
X. Taylor, of Spokane. Miss Taylor
sought balm for her injuries alleging
that a city ordinance requires that
sidewalks shall be kept free from ice
and snow. Because the ordinance was
not enforced she took a tumble. But
the city sent up the claim of contribu-
tory negligence in the high-healed
shoes and won out.
