To Speed
Up Safety.

even plead to "Slow down" We do nol want to
slacken, much less to stop. On the contrary, we
want to speed up. That is progress. Bun we must
speed up safety.
The National Safety Council reports that the COM
piled figures of preventable accidents in 1920 show
a death toll of as many people as live in the State
OF Nevada. In other words, in one year we wiped
out by accident one whole State. That means that
it is time TO STOP something. 1t is not speed we
should stop. We must stop recklessness.
The man-eating thrashing machine has gone out
of fashion. But the fool at the auto wheel is busy.
Fatalities from reckless auto driving average thirty
deaths a day. We have speed laws. but they are
dehantly d~isobeyed and the violators when arrested
are too often dismissed with a modified r~eprimand or
a petty fine.
To endanger the life of another is not a light or
laughing matter.
We must adjust ourselves to the auto as the horse
did to the train. We make the train run on schedule,
limit its speed on curves, slow down at the sign of
caution and come to a full stop at the STOP signal.
SO must we make every auto driver do.
There is but one way to do it, and that is for every
community to impose drastic penalty for every Of
fender and for every community to promptly get rid
of any officer that fails to arrest the offenders and
every judge and magistrate that will not impose the
full penalty of the crime.
If it is a crime to take life, it is a crime to endanger
life. Speed up safety. 1t is the duty of e ,ry town
and county government to get Indignantly busy on
this all important job We cannot spare our people
in whole State-ful1 lots.

liver since the advent of the steam engine we
. have been speeding up, and while that speed
has come with i~nestimable benefit, it has not come
without its measure of attendant harm. When the
legislature of New York was first asked to grant a
franchise for eighteen miles of steam railroad, the
right to build this first railroad was not granted
Will 7ut a bitter opposition which c~ontended that it
would be unsafe because the engine would scare so
many horses that an unwarranted toll of death would
result.
The railroad came and those who opposed it were
right in their death toll predictions. The engines
did scare the horses. There were runaways, and
what is worse, there were wrecks on the rails and
an ever-increasing list of accidents have been recorded
as the iron ribbed mileage multiplied.
But for all this we would not erase the railroads
from our maps; we would not go back to the days
when even a king would cry MY kingdom Tor a
horse"
The thrashing machine has cost many a thrasher
an arm. But we would not go back to the days when
we hayed grain on the floor.
Mill machinery and foundry furnaces take their
human toll. But we cannot do without them.
We fly sky-high and all too often we read OF a
fallen flyer. 1t is the price we pay to learn how
with safety to use the swifter way.
The auto brings its price in limb and life. We pay
it and speed away.
We have been impatiently seeking. speed With
the same impotence we must seek safety. The cost
OF speed has reached such alarming proportions that
the Safety First" slogan was born.
Observe, we did not cry Cut it out" nor did we

There's lots of Jakes out these days
with their lanterns, when they ought
to be out with their X-rays. What's
the use of looking at when you can
look in. Lantern marriages mean
pretty faces and heads with no
adornment but the hair. The only
advantage of courtin' with a lantern
is that you can blow it out. an

RHEUMATISM
Leaves You Forever
Deep Seated Uric Acid Deposits Are
Dissolved and the Rheumatic Poison
Starts to Leave the System Within
Twenty-four Hours.

Every Druggist in this county is autho-
rized to say to every rheumatic sufferer
that if a full pint bottle of Allenrhu, the
sure conqueror of rheumatism, does not
show the way to stop the agony. reduce
swollen joints and do away with even the
slightest twinge of rheumatic pain, he
will gladly return your money without
comment.
Allenrhu has been tried and tested for
years, and really marvellous results have
been accomplished in the most severe
cases where the suffering and agony was
intense and piteous and where the patient
was helpless.
Mr.. James II. Allen, of Rochester, N.
Y, the discoverer of Allenrhu, who for
many years suffered the torments of acute
rheumatism, desires all sufferers to know
that he does not want a cent of anyone's
money unless Allenrhu decisively con-
has instructed druggists to guarantee it
as above in every instance. Orange Drug
Co. can supply you.

REGISTRATION IS
REPORTED GOOD

ans Extend Efforts.
LACK OF MONEY is HANDICAP
G. o. P. County Chairman Says
Two Candidates Refuse to
Help in Registration.

Reports from precincts of Marion
County received at both Democratic
and Republican headquarters today
indicated fairly heavy registration
No one thought the total would equal
the 10000 on the books after the
last registration day of 1920, how
ever.
Republicans claimed a satisfactory
registration in negro wards. Whether
the normally Republican negro vote
would qualify was a problem which
worried leaders for, several weeks.
Democratic leaders said they had
watchers in the negro districts to
prevent fraudulent registrations
Lack Of money slowed things up in
the colored sections, Republican lead
ers explained some time ago.
A return of the south side TO strong
Democratic preference was indicated.
Late reports showed Democratic work
tiCns in the Tenth ward. Democrats
said they were satisfied their full vote
is registered.
Most of the registrations were on
applications gathered by party work
ers. few persons calling in person at
tho registration places.
Two Republican candidates have
failed to cooperate in the effort to
obtain a full registration of voters,
William II. Freeman. Republican
county chairman, admitted.
Freeman refused to disclose who
the nominees are. Il might get sued
for political divorce if l told" he
laughingly remarked.
"As We reach the final registra-
ton I find there has been a mighty
fine spirit of cooperation of candidates,
ward chairmen, precinct candidates,
btoh men and women" was Free
mans statement. only in two In
stances has there been a failure of
cooperation on the part Of candidates.
On the whole there has been united
cooperation throughout"
Freeman predicted a total registra-
ton Of $50 900 as compared with l6O.-
600 in 1920 and claimed 100. 900 win be
Republican votes. He said the Re
pubncans had registered $1,000 up to
Saturday night.
Registration places in every pre-
cinct were to be open from o'clock
this morning until o'clock this eve
ming. Those who register this year
will not have to register in future cleo
tions unless there is change Of adj
dress.
Russell J. Ryan, Democratic
county chairman, said Nobody can
say how many registration applica-
tions have been taken by either
Democrats or Republicans or what
the total will be until after today.
However, will say that Demo
cratic workers down in the precincts
have done more work and got better
results this time than ever before
