RECKLESS DRIVING

Reckless driving and the absolute disregard for
road rules has in the past been the OF much
loss OF life and many injuries the past year and
bids fair to increase at alarming rate the next
twelve months II something very radical is not done
to check the present practices. No one. Judge,
purposely kills anyone with their automobile nor
poets nor intends to njure anyone by fast driving,
but such is being done every day somewhere in the
State OF Texas. and quite frequently in Lubbock.
and while personal injuries do not result in many
instances property is damaged and the chance OF
personal injuries increased. Lubbock should by
all means have a traffic cop and one who will abb
soutely make people toe the line suffer the
sequences. If the speed laws not right. the best
way in the world to get them corrected is to en-
force them. Public opinion will to il that they
are Strengthened out With the hundreds of auto
mobiles in operation around Lubbock and with so
many of those operating them. careless about driv-
ing. people are in much danger, and we look for
some very fatal accidents to happen most any time.
Cars are smashed up and damaged in Lubbock most
every day and ninety-nine per cent is caused by
carelessness the part of someone A few good
stiff fines will make the average auto owner much
more careful and thereby lessen the chances for in
nocent parties being run down nd killed or injur
ed

PRACTICAL EDUCATION

The childs brain is susceptible OF
the highest development, but Il
should be developed along the line
OF rs inclinations and for practical
purposes. II ever there was a time
when sanity in education was
needed, now is that time. Our
schools and colleges are educating
the youth Of this land away from
the natural tendencies and from the
human instincts OF well developed
Toys and girls.
The education OF today seems 10
destroy initiative. self-reliance. oour-
src. and a desire for self-support.
4 he educational system of today
has apparently destroyed the desire
on the part OF children to be con-
tribuiing members OF society. They
seem 20 think that the state owes
them something because il gives
them a free education There are
very few bows learning 20 be master
mechanics. The majority are trying

CRIME IN PRESS

Many times newspaper men hear
the complaint that there Is nothing
In the paper except crime news.
A recent investigation has shown the
falsity Of such an assertion.
A class In journalism IN New
York university measured the crime
news in a large number Of New York
City and State newspapers The class
found that only about 4 per cent Of
the space In New York City news
papers wns devoted 90 crime news.
The percentage IN the smaller
city daillca was only ? o. , percent.
II u a good thing Tor journalism that
some 81 the lies about d are nailed.

Newspaper has too much crime news,

REDUCE The NEWS.
PAPER POSTAL RATES

Il Is a matter Of common agree
mcnt that the newspapers II the
country are a powerful IA TOR in
education and In keeping the people
informed a. 90 political, economical
health and other matters Under
the direct primary system IL IS
doubtful whether one IN ten voters
would have any knowledge Of the
candidates and their platforms
without newspapers
Most educational Institutions have
a subventi0n from the state or large
endowments raised by the people
or by philanthrophic reasons. Il is
quite the reverse with the news
paper which must pay is own way,
which delivers Us product 10 the
reader at a fair price far below is
cost and which devoted valuable
space 10 every good cause without
money and without price.
Further than this, the press Of
America is paying postal rates I'M
posed in wartime as revenue
measure despite the fact that the
newspapers were forced 10 carry
war burdens that no other class Of
business was compelled TO shoulder
These rates have been a heavy load
to all papers and have proven fatal
to hundreds Of papers, large and
small, as is witnessed by the great
number Of suspensions during the
last year or two.
The Record has brought its sub
scription prices down 50 that the
people may have a great and com
plete newspaper at the lowest pos
sible price. But it is carrying heavy
and irksome wartime postal rates
which ought TO be repealed by con
gress in the interest Of the people,
that there may be a wider circula-
ton Of all newspapers and better
and more features.-Fort Worth
Record.

KEEP THE SCHOOL SYSTEM IN GOOD
WORKING ORDER

Down Sweetwater way the people seem to be
having quite a bit of trouble in school matters.
The starting point of the whole thing being the de
feat of the maintenance tax by the knockers and
tight-wads Of the city who refused to vote enough
tax to maintain the schools of that city. AS re
suit, part of the school board gave up in despair
and quit not feeling able to cope with the situa
ton. Another result being that number of their
best teachers resigned their position with the school
to accept positions where their salary is more
tain. and the amount of wages more in keeping
with the demands of the times. 1t is certainly
great mistake when people fail to recognize in the
schools one of the greatest factors in town build
ing. and community building than is found any
where else. When the schools crippled it Grip
pies the whole machine that pulls the town build
ing brigade Keep the school system working
good. and it will help lot in making up for other
deficiencies that might exist in town.

Right Spirit

After ali the building that has
been done, and is now under way,
there are not enough dwelling hous-

people who want a place to live

while this condition may be I'M
welcome 20 those who are seeking

that the times are getting better,
particularly for Lubbock. This con
dition Is true in many West Texas
towns, now that crop conditions
we're better this sprinr and summer
than FOR many years before. and Il
IS but one " the many signs that
this section Of the State Is coming

town wants 10 provide homes for
AN those who come 10 live within
her domains, but Il u not always

houses cannot be built fast enough,

The News at Plainview tried hard to say some
thing that would discredit the speaker who is tour
ing the State speaking good government and
explaining the principles of the ku Klux Khan, but
failed to find anything in his speech that he could
very we'll find fault with. Klandum may not be
right and many thousands of people believe it not
right and we have not said that it is the proper
way to bring about better conditions. but be
lieve that we can see that its influence is having
a good effect, and according to their outspoken
principles their intentions for good and If they
can inculcate their principles into the minds of the
people. they will no doubt do something worth
while There may not be need for the Khan. but
the laxness Of many officials has brought about the
need for something along that line. Crime must
cease OF America is ruined

THE STRIKERS SIDE OF THE STRIKE

In another part of this issue Of the Avalanche
will be found a statement from one OF the high
ups in the Union. which gives their side of the
question The Avalanche is not publishing this as
an argument in their favor against the railroads.
but merely to give the reading public their side Of
the question they give it in their official state
ments No doubt the railroads have good argu-
ment too and there is always two sides to the ques-
ton The strike situation is getting to point that
becoming very serious and there should certainly
be some way to bring about peaceful settlement

ONE KIND OF DEAD BEAT

There are several kinds Of deadbeats if we are
correctly informed. and one of that kind is the
base ball dead beat. When the Hubbers play ball
in the home park. lot of fellows make prac-
tice of sitting the fence and witness the game
apparently prefering to be ordinary dead beat
rather than to pay the price OF admission. enter
the park and enjoy the game with loyal citizens
Il is a molly crowd that peep the fence and
through the cracks every game. Yesterday there
were forty OF fifty negroes and deadbeats who wit
messed the game in that way and each day the crowd
on the fence grows larger. We believe we are right
when we say that few automobiles and trucks have
taken their position along the fence at seventy-five
percent OF the games that have been played
whereupon were perched from to a half a doz-
en- people. who would rather class themselves as
deadbeafs. and let the ball club foot the deficit
than 10 pay the admission fee. II game is worth
seeing Il i certainly worth the price Of admission
and one certainly lowers themselves in the est-
nation Of good. honest upright loyal citizens when
Ihey undertake to see the game in any other way
nan 10 pay the stipulated price Of admission. II
here Is not law 70 prohibit H. there should be. as
he law Of loyalty 10 home institutions do no, seem

non and respected - good citizens
