GOOD ADVICE TO AUTolsTs
FROM JUDGE JOHN STElk

Rainy weather and wet, slippery
streets mean, extra careful driving.
When in doubt adopt the safe course
speed must always give way to
safety.
Accidents-are they "tough luck" or
just "carelessness." Think 1t over.
An ounce of prevention is worth q
pound OF cure.
Don't follow other vehicles too close
ly-the more room you have the bet
ter, especially when the streets are
wet or slippery.
The exercise of care to prevent acct
dents is duty which you owe to your
self and fellow men. II is better to be
slightly delayed than to cause an acci-
dent.
Go slow and sound horn when turn
ing corners, passing children at play,
driving near schools, passing other
slow moving vehicles.
Remember that It takes less time to
learn to do a thing right than it does
to explain why you did 1t wrong.
Be careful when passing corners.
Think of the other fellow.
For the sake OF SAFETY, keep your
mind on your driving.
Accident prevention: It is better to
lose few seconds In avoiding an &C.
cident than a month in nursing an
injury,
The careless driver is unpatriotic.
To be careful is to be patriotic.
Every man who, through his care
lessness, causes preventable acct
dent which results in personal injury
or damage to property is an indus
trial Stacker and is placing additional
burdens on others.
Brave men are always careful men.
The public wants safety, not excuses.
Don't race motors needlessly. Don't
make unnecessary noises.
It is better to be careful than to be
crippled or to cripple some other
person.
Drive carefully and thereby make
friends with the police and public.
Protect the public-respect the
police.

SWEET, OF THE new YORK ASSEMBLY

Thaddeus c. Sweet, speaker or
the New York assembly and the man
responsible for the suspension and
trial" Of the five Socialist members,
entered a long defense of his attitude
ut New York city public banquet.
Mr.. Sweet not only condemned
the Socialists and defended the action
of the assembly, but he referred to
the action of Charles Il. Hughes in
the early stages of the case as "hasty
and ill-advised." He said there was
no room In this country for traitors"
and that he could find no difference
between the Socialist party and the
Communist party, and referred to the
Socialists us "these five undesirables."
He also cOntended that the proceed

MRS. MEREDITH IN CAPITAL SOCIETY

Mrs. Il. II. Meredith, wife of the
newly appointed secretary Of agrlcul-
ture, has taken her place In the social
functions which in Washington are
regulated with more precision than
the proceedings of congress. Slender,
and in appearance incredibly young to
be the mother of married daughter,
Mrs. Meredith is taking her part in
the life of the capital with an interest
and pleasure as frank as it is engage
ing She has charming personality,
dresses smartly and in perfect taste,
and takes n warm interest In many
things outside the social routine,
though at present her days are rather
too crowded to admit of much time
being given to them.

HOWE CONSIDERS MEXICO HOPELESS

Conditions in Mexico were de-
scribed as intolerable by Gen. Robert
Lee Howe, commander Of the El Paso
district, when he testified before the
senate subcommittee investigating the
Mexican situation. He expressed
opinion that affairs In that country
had grown steadily worse in the last
ten years, and that, left solely in the
control Of the MeXicans," the future
Of that country was hopeless" He
said, among other things:
"The iDtolerable conditions which
have covered n period Of nearly ten
years have continually grown worse
and am convinced the apex Of shame
fulness and horror as viewed from the
American conception Of justice and
decency was reached last fall, a con-
dItion which still exists.

Mr.. Payne's appointment came as

of former German passenger ships.
Mr.. Payne said that he would, OF

HIGHEST COURT
WILL NOT HEAR
n. ]. VETS PLEA
Retail Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton Not Allowed to Test
Prohibition Amendment.
ARGUMENT MADE IN
RHODE ISLAND CASE
Similar Appeal Presented by the State
Likely To Be Decided Before
Next Friday.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Monday. Steps
to bring test proceedings for determine
ton of the constitutionality OF the prohibit
ton amendment TO the federal constitution
received a setback today when the Su-
preme Court denied, for lack Of jurisdic-
ton, motions filed on behalf Of the Retail
Liquor Dealers Association of New Jersey
seeking permission to institute an original
suit for that purpose.
The denial, however, does not terminate
the efforts TO expedite determination OF
the question, for motions filed by the
State of Rhode Island asking similar Der
mission were argued today and remain Ia
be acted upon. AS the federal amendmen nj
becomes effective next Friday, action or
the Rhode Island motion within the next
few days is expected
The order denying permission to bring
the New Jersey suit was made orally by
Chief Justice White. who held that the mo-
ton to file the case rested upon plain
disregard for two principles of jurisdiction
that have been settled from the begin
ming" One. he said. was that a citizen OF
State could not bring a suit against the
State without its consent, while the other
was that the federal constitution does no,
create Jurisdiction but only apportions 1t
and accordingly, under the constitution
the Supreme Court had no Jurisdiction il
such a case as that from New Jersey.
This attitude OF the court in general up.
held the contentious of Solicitor Genera
King and New Jersey authorities in their
arguments made on January 5.
In attacking the constitutionality Of the
amendment today Attorney General Her.
bert A. Rice. of Rhode Island, questioned
the validity OF its ratification. as well as
OF the passage OF the resolution by Con.
eress, and asserted the amendment was ar
interference with State police powers anc
was 'usurpatory." unconstitutional anc
void"
In n brief filed with the court the Rhod,
Island Attorney General further argued
that enforcement OF national prohibition
would affect injuriously the rights OF
Rhode Island and that because the de-
PENDANTS named in the case are outside tho
boundaries of that State the Suprem,
Court was the proper tribunal in which tc
bring the suit.
These contentious were denied by the
government, which asserted that the ques-
tons involved were political and that the
court was without jurisdiction to hear the
case.

follow the normal course Of extradition

WASHINGTON, D. c., Monday (by the
Associated ess).-Decision to withdraw
the American troops from Siberia upon
the completion Of the repatriation of the
Czechoslovak forces next month has been
reached by the American government
The troops were sent to Siberia in accord
with an agreement between the United
States. Japan and the Entente Powers to
aid the Czechs and protect the Siberian
Railroad. and Japan has been notified by
the United States OF the cancellation of
that agreement in so far as 1t affects the
presence of an American military expe-
dtion.
When the Czechs have been removed,
the American Railroad Commission.
headed by John F. Stevens, which has
been in Russia since before the fall OF
the former Tsar's government. will leave
Vladivostok for home and the American
soldiers. under Major General Graves will
follow as soon as transports can be made
Presumably the same ships
which are TO take the Czechoslovaks across
the Pacific will be used. Two OF these
vessels. the President Grant and America
are expected TO leave New York within a
few days.
With the departure OF the Americans
Japan will be left alone TO assist the loyal
Russians in their efforts to stem the
eastward march OF the Bolsheviki. The
rapid progress made by the Soviet forces
has been source OF apprehension in
Japan and the Cabinet at Toxic has been
considering means of combating what
Japanese officials generally regard as a
serious menace.
Suggestions have been made that Japan
increase its force of 10000 troops
in Siberia and II has opened negotiations
with the American government with this
end in view. SO far as was learned today.
however, no agreement has yet been
reached.
The American force numbers about 5000
men and was sent into Siberia last sum-
mer. Its presence has been the subject Of
numerous spirited debates in the Senate
and resulted in the adoption OF resolution
calling upon President Wilson for state
ment of the administrations policy. In
reply TO this resolution, the State Depart
ment said the purpose of sending the ex-
petition was solely to assist the Czechs
and to guard the railroad in the meantime.
