Editorial

If you have ever watched
the growth and unfolding
OF flower or plant. you
have, no doubt, marveled
at its development.
Your observations have
| been doubly interesting if
you observed the same
plant under different condi-
tions or environment.
Environment exercises a
tremendous influence upon
the lives of plants, of ami
mails and of people.
Just as the seed of the
plant or tree contains an
exact reproduction of what
that seed is to reproduce,
so does the brain of an in
FAINT contain the pattern
of the possibilities that
lie within it. However, the
plant from the seed may
be dwarfed or twisted out
of shape by external condi-
tions.
Influences and conditions,
which should have been
kept away from the boy
or girl. may result in its
life pattern being so alter
ed as to make of it fail
ure rather than a success.

Commissioners Quoted.

The Commissioners state, that.
while the changes in the speed regu-
lations include some increases over
the speeds now fixed by law. the new
speeds do not exceed the speeds which
have been permitted by the police in
the past"
1t will be interesting then to see
just what has occurred under the
speeds which have been permitted by
the police in the past.
The following list, which has been
taken from the police reports. shows,
first. how the death rate from traffic
accidents was decreasing under the
regulatio in 1914. 1915 and 1916. Then
will be noticed the sudden increase
in 1917 and 1918. This increase close
ly followed the announcement that the
police were not arreSting vehicles
running under sixteen miles an hour
This list includes all traffic accidents
except steam railroad accidents:

NEW TRAFFIC CODE
DANGERS CLAIMED
Abnormal Increase in Rate of
Fatalities Charged to
1918 Policy.
AUT0IsTs SUFFER MOST

To the Editor Of The Star
We are having an epidemic of traffic
accidents in Washington. The death
rate from these accidents has in
creased $50 per cent, while the popu-
lation has increased only so per cent.
We have right to expect our Com
missioners to take drastic measures to
reduce this abnormal number Of
deaths from accidents in our streets.
The Commissioners have recently
announced some new traffic regula
tions in which they have increased the
speeds of the vehicles.
will increasing the speeds OF We
hicles. especially in the congested
sections of the city. tend to increase
or decrease the accidents?" is the
question We have to consider.
Evening star., 1919-03-31
Normal for Pedestrians.

As the danger from increase in popu-
lation and vehicles affected both the
pedestrian and vehiclist alike, it would
naturally be supposed that there would
to both. But such was not the case, ac-
cording to the police statistics. There
was only a normal increase in the ac-
cidents to pedestrians, while the in
crease in accidents to vehiclists showed
a very abnormal increase.
The campaign of education appears to
have been successful in the case of the
Jay walker; but both education and
regulation have been q complete failure
in the case of the speed maniac"
The new regulations are supposed to
be more successful. All vehiclists
with whom I have spoken are of the
opinion that the new regulations will
permit them to drive along crowded
F street, on a wet day, at eighteen
miles an hour. and the police will be
powerless to stop them. How such a
regulation will help to reduce acci-
dents is certainly a matter which the
Commissioners should make public.
Too many are attempting that speed
on wet days now, when they can be
arrested If exceeding twelve miles an
hour. and the accidents usually in
crease when the streets become wet.
Recently I have been commenting
on the great increase in vehicular ac-
cidents. One person much interested in
the prevention of accidents to pedes-
trians told me that the Safety First
with the deaths of vehiclists. because
if they kill themselves in large num-
bers we will soon get rid of the reck-
less drivers. But a safety first asso-
citation is as much concerned with
accidents to vehiclists as to pedes-
trians. There is just as much loss to
the community in the death of a We
hiclist as of a pedestrian. There is
just as much sorrow caused by the
death of little one pinned under the
overturned automobile. W hich had been
driven by a reckless father. as by the
death Of a little one run over in the
street.
Should Reduce Number.
Under the regulations Of the past
two and a half years there have been
too many traffic accidents, and 1t does
not matter whether they are vehiclists
;or pedestrians: we have q right to ex-
pect our authorities to take the prop
er steps to reduce the number.
I, for one. do not think that the
great increase in accidents in the past
two and half years. under the speeds
permitted by the police, furnishes an
argument for the continuation of these
speeds.
Since the publication of the pro-
posed new regulations I have talked
with number of Vehiclists, and, while
they all want to go eighteen miles al,
hour, not one of them has given me an
unqualified. yes" when asked if he
thought it a safe speed for all parts
of the city.
As the pedestrians do not want the
speed of vehicles increased to eight
cen miles an hour. and as the vehic-
lists cannot say that this speed is
safe. / feel that the relatives and
friends of those who will have to die
under the new regulations have a
right to know just how the Commits
sioners propose to restore the traffic
conditions to the normal of a few
years ago by continuing the speeds
under which this abnormal increase
has occurred. w. F. PEABODY,

PROMINENT
MINISTER DEAD
Former Methodist Presiding Elder
Here Died At Morganfeld.

Rev. R, F. Hayes died at his home
in this city Tuesday about noon of
heart failure. He had been in a Sc
rious condition for five or six weeks
efore his death. He was seventy-six
years old.
His wife and the following chill
dren survive him: Thos. ]. Hayes,
of Andalusia, Ala, Geo. H. Hayes,
of Monticello, Miss; R. F. Hayes, of
Bristol, Tenn; w. P. Hayes, of Hop
kinsville, KY; Lieut.. Robert T. Hayes
now in Germany; Miss Mary R. Hayes
and Miss Katherine c. Hayes.
Few ministers in the South were
better known than DIR. Hayes. He
possessed unusual ability and his SER
mons were strong and effective. He
was regarded as a very high author
ity on all church matters, and was
frequently called into consultation
with the bishop and other high church
officials Morganfeld Sun.

There is nothing in the peace
treaty to bar William Hohenzollern
from resuming the throne Of his an
cestors. Under the pending terms it
would be readily possible for him to
return to the Fatherland and sieze
the Government, already tottering
for lack of a strong man at the head.
Such happening is not regarded as
unlikely, and the Big Four are con-
sidering it with the view of inserting
specific provision in the terms, ex-
GLIDING him from restoration. When
attention was called to this omission,
the conference delegates became
greatly concerned, realizing that not
only might the former Kaiser at
tempt a coup d'etat, but also that
there is nothing in the way of his
quitting Holland at will and seeking
a sanctuary in Germany, even tho
he might not attempt to regain the
crown. Should he be permitted to
return unhindered to Germany, plans
for his surrender and trial would be-
come useless and void.

Moonshiners may soon have reven-
ne agents in airplanes on their trail.
Beset with difficulties in finding illicit
whisky stills in mountain Businesses
of the South, revenue agents devel-
oped the idea of spying upon the hid
den liquor makers from the sky. So
Revenue Commissioner Roper asked
the war department for the loan of
several airplanes which it was pro-
posed to equip with telephotographic
apparatus to take pictures of moon
shine stills while flying low, the pic
lures to be used as evidence when
the moonshiners were caught and
brought into court. The War Depart
ment is considering the request, but
meanwhile army camoufeurs suggest
that stills might easily be concealed
beneath trees. So now the revenue
agents are bordering this new diff

RABBITS.

Rabbit breeders of Evansville and
vicinity found they had something
to learn about raising rabbits and
iudging stock when they met John
Fehr. judge of rabbits for the Ma
tional Rabbit Breeding Association
at the home of Herman Ruehman, on
Stringtown road yesterday. Judge
Febr was here to register rabbits ana
out of about seventy examined ne
accented twelve. The twelve accept
ed are now registered stock and car
nv their numbers cut in their ear
A table show of the different
breeds was also held and ribbons CIV
en- the winners. This is the hrst
show held by the Southern Indiana
Rabbit and Cayy Association since
its organization about two months
ago.-Evansville Courier.
If this association succeeds IN de-
veloping a superior breed OF rabbits
which will be larger and more Heshy'
u will greatly enhance our meat sup
ply. if pushed for all it is worth. In
this respect the custom of the French
peasant farmer may be copied ad-
vantageously.
There is scarcely farm house in
France, and very few village houses,
that do not have their rabbit coops
alongside of their chicken coops and
lust as much care is bestowed upon
the former as the latter. The rabbit
coops are kept in sanitary condition
and pains are taken to give them
nourishing food, with the result that
fine plump rabbits are raised and the
meat is considered equally as palat-
able as chicken The rabbits were sold
to American soldiers billeted in these
French villages, and could be bought
much cheaper than chickens as they
were more plentiful.
In these coops may be found the
large grey rabbit, the pure white and
cream colored and many dappleo
, greys.
They are very tame animals which
multiply rapidly and contract few
diseases, which make them much cas-
Ter raised than chickens or other
barnyard fowls.
