One of the most needed things for
the general welfare of the travelling
public is for some new laws, or the
enforcement of the ones that we al
ready have, to safeguard the lives of
our people on our highways against
drunken drivers of automobiles. 1t
is hard for one to take his family out
for a Sunday afternoon drive without
meeting some drunken scoundrel
driving an automobile. A person
that is caught trying to drive an au-
tomobile on public highway while
in drunken condition ought % be
put in the penitentiary for rs years.
If there is not some such law now on
our statute books. there should be one
passed and put in force.
