PLAN TO CURB AUTO
SPEEDING
Slow Tours Through MOrgue Recon-
,mended for Reckless Drivers.

The Baltimore speeders, whose
reckless driving of automobiles re-
Gently resulted in the death OF a
little boy and a girl and the inJurlng
of several other persons, should be
sentenced to slow tours through the
morgue, under the guidance OF a
deputy coroner, is the belief OF sew
eral persons, who say such punish
ment is inflicted in Chicago.
One trip through the morgue, it
is predicted, would cure any person,
even the most hardened, of fast or
reckless driving. But if that should
fail, it has been suggested that
speeders be sentenced to hold watch
beside the body of those they Kill
as is done in Youngstown, o., or
watch beside the bedside of those
they injure.
Less strenuous methods of curb
ing speeders are being tried out IN
other cities. In New York, for ax-
ample, !"rogues' gallery of traffic
law offenders is kept by the Police
Department, and the Chicago police
are planning to put the same system
in effect there.
The suppression of the speeder has
now engaged the attention OF me
national Safety Council, and it has
sent out a discussion Of the report
of recent grand jury in st. Louis,
which body went carefully into the
existing situation as regards auto
mobile accidents.
Deviating from the beaten paths
of grand jury procedure, the St
Louis inquisitorial body, in the words
of it's foreman, Clarence Howard
president of the Commonwealth
Steel Company, decided that its goal
Should not be merely to indict
someone for something" but that a
constructive consideration of the
causes of those things for which
people are indicted would make &
constantly decreasing number of in
dictments necessary.
On investigation the Grand jury
found that one of the principa
sources for criminal indictments was
the automobile accident resulting
either from the recklessness of the
moterist or the carelessness of thu
pedestrian. And so instead of in
dieting someone for something" the
Grand Jury set about making deeI
study of traffic conditions,

A BLUNDER OF THE FIRST
MAGNITUDE.

Daniel G.. Roper, is Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, but it might be
supposed from his letter to the clergy
Of the country with regard to PrOhibi-
tiOn that he was Commissioner of Nor
ais and Keeper Of the Public Con-
science. His business would seem to
be to collect taxes, not to play the part
of a Government Billy Sunday He
pleads as an excuse that he did the
same thing with regard to the income
tax. That was an absolutely different
proposition. This is a fragrant case
of attempting to create an alliance
between the Government and religion,
of forming a union of church and
state
So far from doing any good, we pre-
diet it will do a vast amount of harm
MIR. Roper should be sharply rebuked
by the Administration for his officious
and foolish invasion OF a domain that
does not belong to him. He is a ser
want Of the people, not of the church
es. which do not by any means repre-
Sent all the people, even if all the
churches were of the same faith and
of the same mind. More than half the
people of the United States are either
not connected with the churches or
feel very little practical interest in
them And the membership of church
es that include more than fifteen mil
lion of men, women and children will
refuse to permit Mr.. Roper to amalga-
mate them with the AntiSaloon League
and convert them into police spies and
religious Paul Prys.
All good citizens will and should
obey the law without admonitions from
the Commissioner of Internal Reeve
nue.. But to ask them to spy on their
neighbors, and to inform on them, to
become members Of religious lynch
ing committees, animated by a holy
zeal to send other people to jail, is
little short of an insult to every decent
and honest man and woman. 1t is
moreover, confession that the Gov
eminent cannot enforce the Prohibition
law without an immense army OF
shoppers" and informers, of religious
guerrillas, bush whackers and free
lances. Such irregular troops are moi
allowed even during war, because
there is always danger that, under
cover of patriotism, they may commit
acts of outrage and vandalism for the
sake Of private vengeance of plumber
But this is almost precisely what Mr.
Roper is suggesting in time of peace
for the execution of national laws. He
wants to set loose on more than hall
the people of the country bands Of
religious gueTillas who will feel il
their duty to God and man to overawe
and terrify millions of their fellow.

If Prohibition cannot be enforced
through the regular agencies of the
Government, it is predestined fail

Longevity,

DR.. I. L. Nascher of New York, a

ing a book on his discoveries, has ar
rived on Greasy Creek, Leslie coun-
ty, to spend several days with John

son in the world. DIR. Nascher will
study Shells mode of living, his diet
and habits, in an effort to discover
what has given him strength to with
stand the stress of years. DIR.
Nascher's findings will be embodied in
