legislative Experience.

Gov. Smith Of New York is retiring
with the good will and respect Of all
parties. and with a record Of success
in ofice. Asked as to how he had man,
aged to get along with legislatures con.
trolled by the opposite party. he pleas
antly put aside particulars and re-
piled:

have been SO successful had not had
experience in the legislature. In my
Judgment Q serious weakness Of gov

vantage Of having been in the legis-

many years, and was on probably

committee at one session. That ex-
perience helped me wonderfully"
Mr.. Harding will start with this sort
Of advantage. He Is familiar from
service with legislative procedure.

OF the Ohio state senate. Subsequent.

The Man Who Flees.

Inspector Grant of the police de.
aimed at the offense of flight by
driver or motorist who has caused an
injury to person or property. This
offense in case Of capture and convic.
ton is to be punished by a fine of not
less than $50 nor more than 500. Such
a penalty is altogether too light. Any
person who runs away from the vic
tim Of his carelessness, or the victims
as to drive on without lending aid
should be punished by term in Jail.
No fine is adequate to meet so griev-
GUS a breach Of the laws Of humanity.
1t must be said there are a very
few drivers or motorists who continue
after an accident occurs. In almost
every case when a person is struck in
the street the operator of the vehicle
ly he carries the injured person to the
hospital in his own car. 1t is the first
impulse of humane person. But there
are others who dash on without know
ing whether the person struck is liv-
ing or dead. Sometimes they are just
callous-hearted, Indifferent, even
scornful Of the misfortunes Of those
they hit. Again they are afraid of
possible punishment. In almost every
case Of fight the driver or motorist
has been at fault and knows himself
to be blamable for the mishap.
To fine such people as these if they
are ever caught is not enough. They
should be exposed to public shame. A
true punishment would be to revert to
the old stocks and pillory method.

Congress and the People.

The Sixty seventh Congress will not
lack for specific information about
what the people want.

facturers out in force. They have

sumed that hearings will be granted.
The farmers are expecting legtsla-

to- submit their case. They are better
organized than ever before. and have
been studying politics. Numerically,
they are very strong.

alert Making headquarters in this

And both the railroad interests and
the merchant marine interests will
see that their wants in the legislative
line are laid before those to whom
they are looking for action.
This is all in the regular order. Con-

much to be done in struggling back to

much light on what is expected Of it.

Auto Race Happenings" +"

Still the slaughter at the automobile
races continues At a race in Los An
geles yesterday two men were killed
and another mortally hurt in a COLI
sion on the speedway near the end
Of a 250-mile contest. The machines
were going at terrific speed, the
winner Of the race averaging 103 miles
an hour. At this pace it is almost
sure death to any driver who touches
the slightest obstruction in the course,
or whose tire bursts, or any part Of
whose machine goes wrong. These
contests, to be sure. constitute a most
thorough test Of every machine en-.
tered, but the question always arises
whether such tests are necessary for
the practical commercial needs Of the
automobile industry. What the coun-
try wants today is not the develop
ment Of cars that can stand a 100-
mile pace in a 250-mile run
without break, but drivers who
can manage their machines in
obedience to law and regulation and
without sacrificing the lives Of other
people. The pretense that these races
are necessary to foster the industry
has long since ceased to be valid. The
truth is, they are spectacles for the
public delectation, and the public en-.
joys them because they are dangerous,
and at the back Of the minds Of large
number Of the spectators Is the hope
that something will happen" The
men who drive in these races risk
their lives deliberately. They take
chances with death for big stakes.
They are sportsmen, too. and enjoy
the excitement and the danger and the
competition. Their expectation Of
eventual survival is about as good as
that Of the trick aviator who does
stunts for the entertainment Of crowds
at county fairs. It is q significant fact
that there are few veteran retired
motor speed kings"

Departmental Reductions.

1t Is announced by a member Of
the House appropriations committee
that the number Of federal employees
in Washington Will be cut from about
$4,000 to about $4,000 In the new leg
islative appropriation bill covering the
next fiscal year. If these figures We're
correct the reduction contemplated
would mean a most serious disruption
Of the departmental service. But as
a matter Of fact there are not now
$4,000 clerks In this city, but only
about $1,000. Still. reduction to the
$4,000 point would mean a curtan Of
$4,000. who would presumably be
dropped almost simultaneously at the
beginning Of the new fiscal year.
When the war ended and the de-
mobilization of the civilian forces Of
the government began. the reductions
were effected slowly, and 1t has taken
nearly two years to bring the person.

The Mesopotamian Mandate.

Secretary Colby's note to Lord Cur
xon relative to the Mesopotamian oil
concessions, under the British man.
date, is based on the hypothesis that
the United States as an associate with
the allies in winning the world-war
and as a party to the treaty Of Yer
sailIes, though it has not yet ratified
that treaty, is entitled to all rights in
inundated areas that are enjoyed by
other nations. II the United States
has any rights as an associate in war
winning and as signatory to the treaty,
they are not misunderstanding not
extinguished-by the fact that ratif1ca-
ton has not yet been effected.
In it's details the note to Lord Cur
xon makes strong case for this coun-
try. 1t is a direct declaration that it
expects a fair degree Of participation
in the concessions in Mesopotamia
under the British mandate. 1t ques-
tions automatically the good faith Of
some Of the arrangements already
made by the mandatory power. 1t
denies the right Of monopoly in the
oil fields and it refutes the implied
suggestion that as already the alleged
possessor Of the greater part Of the
worlds Oil supply this country is not
in need Of access to any other fields.
1t is of little moment whether the
United States needs more oil field op-
portunities. or whether there has been
irregularity in the arrangements effect
ed in Mesopotamia, compared with the
question Of this country's status under
the mandate plan for the administra-
ton Of former enemy territories. This
question is a direct corollary Of that
Of ratification. Its presentation now
is proof that the United States must
very soon definitely act upon the peace
treaty, whether 1t joins the league Of
nations at all, or joins on conditions
that unequiyocally preserve the tradi-
tions and limitations Of its constitu-
tional organization.
