CRIMINAL RECkLESsNEss

# seems that nothing will check
the criminal recklessness OF the speeu
maniacs who sit at the steering
wheels OF the automobiles, RACING
with destruction. flirting with dealh
and endangering, not their own hecNs
alone. but the lives Of all VINO may
be near them.
Yesterday oklahoma news dispatches
carried stories Of three fatal acci-
dents, accidents in which innocent
victims went to their deaths because
sp.ed-mad drivers sought TO beat
railway trains over crossings.
There is not another newspaper IN
the state Of Oklahoma which deplores
more sincerely the existence OF the
death-trap grade crossing than does
The Daily Ardmoreite. There Is not
another newspaper in Oklahoma when
believes more firmly than does The
Daily Ardnoreite, that the speea
limits Of railway trains, as set forth
in the fast trains schedules, should
be reduced, and there is not another
newspaper in Oklahoma which be-
lieves more strongly than does The
Daily Ardmoreite that the speed demon
should be barred from the throttle
and steering-wheel OF the automobile
But the newspapers may take up
the fight against criminal speeding
and editors may thump their type
writer's until they are black in the
face, telling the public about the
crimes Of speeding, but unless the Of
ficers OF the law, from the lowiest
constable TO the highest in the states
judiciary. adopts and follows the most
drastic measures in handling the
death-dealng, speed-crazed drivers OF
motor cars, nothing win check this
evil.
Il has become so flagrantly evident
that even the toddling tots know the
motorists entertain no respect FOR
the rights Of others. There is only
one way to stop the evil-incarcerate
the offenders in the jails and peniten-
tiaries Of the state. II We have not
q law which will admit of this-then
enae, such a one, and after it's en-
ac.meat, enforce il.
The speed mania has reached the
point where it must be curbed, even
II every motorist in the stale shall
bs punished.

The jury which tries this pair oi
culprits should do It's duty toward

In this city alone, there IS not d

A YEAR ago Il was the general be-
lief that wheat prices in the open
market would fall to such an extent
that the United States government
would be forced TO raise fund Of a
billion dollars to make good the agree
ment with the wheat farmers to main
tain price Of S2.26 per bushel. In
stead Of the price Of wheat falling. il
has sharply increased. cash wheat in
Kansas City having been quoted above
81 per bushel last week; flour is ad-
vsncing in price and the bakers are
putting up the price Of bread here and
there. The hope Of cheap bread and
cereals is gone for at least another
year, and it is entirely possible that
Mr.. Hoovcr's prediction Of several
months ago that wheat would go TO
1850 per bushel in the open market,
viii be realized. The reason for this
condition, Of course, is to be found in
the failure Of Europe to produce any
thing like enough grain for its own
use. Sir George Paish, the noted Eng
lish financier and economist. has re-
Gently made public some statistics

Great Britain and France, Italy and

which is more than the four countries

neutrals, Holland. Spain, Denmark,
