OF INTEREST TO MOTOR CAR
OWNERS AND DRIVERS

The Mail this week publishes q
number of excerpts from the traffic
laws of the state. particularly those
which are applicable to road rules
for motor car drivers. These laws
should be assimilated thoroughly by
the local motorist and put into prac-
tice here at home else when he
drives in other localities he will
meet with the traffic cop. Safety for
person and property should urge ev-
cry motor car driver to obey the
rules of the road made for the pro-
lection of road traffic on our public
highways and streets. The careless
driver who causes death through
such carelessness may be prosecuted
for murder. Anyway, there is no
excuse for the careless driver.
5134. G) No person shall operate
a motor vehicle on public highway
at a rate of speed greater than is
reasonable and proper, having re-
gard to the traffic and use OF the
highway, or so as to endanger life
Or limb of any person, or the safety
of any property, or in any event on
any public highway where the terri
tory contiguous thereto is closely
built up, at a greater rate than one
mile in six minutes, or elsewhere in
any incorporated city or town, at d
greater rate than one mile in four
minutes, Or elsewhere outside of
any incorporated city or town. at a
greater rate than one mile in two
minutes; subject, however, to the
other provisions in the chapter.
(5) Any one operating motor
vehicle, while in an intoxicated CON
dition shall be guilty of misde-
meanor. Any person operating q
motor vehicle. who, knowing that
injury has been caused to person or
property, due to the carelessness or
culpabiliay of the operator, or to
accident, leaves the place of said
injury or accident without stopping
ana giving his name, residence, in
Guiding the street and number, and
operators license number to the in
Jured party, or to a police officer,
or i'll case no police officer is in the
vicinity then reporting the same to
the nearest police station or peace
officer, shall be guilty of a felony,
punishable by a fine of not more
than five hundred dollars, or by i'm
pr1sonment for not more than two
years, or by both such fine and i'm
prisonment, and if any person be
convicted a second time of either of
the foregoing offenses he shall be
guilty of a felony, punishable by i'm
prisonment for not more than five
years.
(a) Any person driving or operat-
ing any automobile or auto truck
upon any highway of this state and
turning either to the right or left
shall use the full arm signal to in
dicate the direction in which it is
proposed to tuln said car

ing automobile or auto truck on any
highway in the state of Arizona, with

features OH the car which makes it
impossible to use the full arm sig

prosecutions. They act, as a rule, upon
evidence uncovered by the police. When
the District Attorneys Of Pennsylvania
meet and resolve to help toward prohibition
enforcement they are promising what they
cannot deliver until the local police in large
communities and police officials generally
are converted to Volsteadism. 1t is almost
unnecessary to say that there are at present
no apparent signs Of that conversion. A..
A great deal of additional money from
the Federal Treasury is needed to strengthen
the Federal enforcement system. VIII Con.
gress provide this money? That Is the
question now. and 1t is idle to evade 1t.
Congress did with prohibition what 1t is
preparing to do with the bonus. 1t passed
the law without much thought Of the method
or means by which 1t could be made opera
tive. just as 1t is eager to pnss the Soldier
Bonus Bill without knowing or caring where
the necessary four billions is to come from.

NO REST FOR IRELAND

CURRENT news from Ireland is as black
~ AS the native people in Ireland them
selves might say-as the bitterest enemies
of Irish nationalism could WISH The first
fires of civil war are smoldering on the
borderline between Ulster and the South,
Neither the leaders in Ulster nor those in
Dublin have had anything to do with these
fresh outbreaks of violence. The ugly bust.
ness is in the hands Of guerrillas who seem
to have got beyond control.
Irreconcilables are doing in ireland what
irreconcilables in the Senate of the United
States are doing for the general peace of
the world. They are frantically melting
violence, generating new hatreds and making
a way to fresh miseries for their misguided
followers. "DOn't torpedo us"' cabled
Michael Collins, head of the Southern Pro.
visiOnal Government to the organized
friends of Ireland in this country. While
lie was writing that message torpedoes were
being prepared for him around the corner.
DE Valera and his associates are playing
very dangerous game. But it is no more
dangerous than the game being played by
the Die Hards in London and Belfast
There are signs to indicate that Americans
actively interested in the Irish question are
prepared to put all their energies and sym.
pathies behind Collins and Griffith. That Is
what they will do II their interest in Ireland
Is as enlightened as it is sincere.

A SENSITIVE BOARD

vTvHE sensitivcness of the Board of Public
i Education concerning the Finegan school
survey somehow implies that knowledge or
the recommendations of the report has not
been withheld from the appointed body in
charge of education in this city.
Indeed, Mr.. Catherine Is quoted as COM
planning that the State Superintendent OF
Public Instruction has condemned certain
features of the system which have already
been rectified. 1t Is not easy to understand
why objection should be raised to criticism
Of this sort. If the board has anticipated
any of DIR. Finegan's proposed reforms it
would seem that such foresight warrants
pleasure and self -congratulation.
But the psychology of the board is often
surprising. In the present instance 1t is
worth noting, while the alleged Withholding
Of the survey is disapproved, some of the
points exhibited are declared to be super
Muous. This blend of information and al
legged ignorance is curious. to say the least

EDISON IS THlN-SKlNNED

DROF. SCOTT, of the University of Wis
IL consin. one Of large number Of persons
.to>whom Mr.. Edison had written for opin-
IONS on his money theories, made the proper
reply.
It was that nothing short of a treatise on
money and banking would be adequate, but
that almost any elementary textbook would
answer the most fundamental of Mr.. Edi-
sons questions.
Mr.. Edison is displeased and has written
to the president Of the university complain
tng Of Prof. SCOTS ''discourtesy." He ex-
plains that many persons have taken pains
70 answer his questions at length, and he
regrets that the Wisconsin professor did not
do so.
= Mr.. Edison is really too sensitive. He
ought to have expected some plain speech
when he assumed to set forth theories Of
H9noney which every person who knows any
hing about the subject had long ago re-
Sected as both unsound and foolish. Some
newspapers, including this one, pointed out
his fallacies, without much consideration for
his feelings. If the other college professors
have been patient enough to explain to him
what Is the matter with his theories it must
be because they have grown accustomed to
Reaching freshmen and TO being tolerant with
their ignorance.
/ Mr.. Edison IS great inventor. bur he
would better leave economics to those who
Know something about 1t, instead of trying
10 prove that the experience of centuries is
without foundation.

The Philadelphia Chapter of the American
Institute Of Architects suggests program
Of restoration which will recreate the past.
The plan includes not only the recondition.

England aud had collected himself in his
extensive travels through the American
colonies. 1t may be taken for granted that
NIL the historical proprieties will be OBJ

Philadelphians are disposed to consider
able Indifference respecting one Of the most
Interesting colonial survivsls In the country.
Rartrnm's Gardens have not deserved this.
The harvest Of restoration is fully In order.

HUGHES PROVES THE CLAIM

NEAR the close of the long analytic note
~ addressed by Secretary Hughes to the
principal allied. Powers there. is. a peril.
nent quotation from the Treaty of Versailles
which establishes the validity Of the Ameri.
can claim for payment Of the Rhineland
army bill. Article PSI accords priority
of payment through the Reparations Conn
mission Of 1.-THE cost Of any armies Of occu-
patton "~
The provision Is unqualified. The posi-.
bility Of renunciaton Of the Versailles COM
pact by any of the victorious Powers asso-
ciated under the armistice is not considered.
In reviewing the significant clause, Mr..
Hughes argues directly on the point Else.
where in the identic notes his processes Of
reasoning seem less clear. The contention
that Germany's admission in the Dresel-
Rosen Treaty that the United States was
entitled to certain rights under the Versailles
pact Is tantamount to q grant Of these
privileges by the Allies is at least open to
dispute. Germany was not entitled to
speak for the associated Powers.
The fact Is that the Dresel- Rosen Treaty
is IN awkward instrument which raises
problems Of particular intricacy. Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan are not
bound by its provisions. d.
But there Is no mystery about the I'm.
portant Article 251 Of the Versailles
covenant. The promise to place the Rhine
occupation bill of the United States. which
IN this instance amounts to approximately
sal .OOO, 900. on parity with the occupa.
tion bills Of the other Powers is explicit and
unconditioned.
The tenor of Mr.. Hughes note is firm,
but not belligerent. His appeal is for "rea-
sonable adjustment" and assurances OF
payment Considering the financial rela-
tionship in which the so called associated
Powers stand with respect to the United
States. it is not extravagant to imagine
that some accommodation will be reached.
The situation would, Of course, be ma
terially eased by the presence Of duly
qualified American representative on the
Reparations Commission. 1t Is understood
that Mr.. Harding is anxious TO make the
appointment
But his hands are tied by the Senate,
which affixed TO the Dresel- Rosen separate
treaty with Germany a reservation vesting
in Congress the power to control American
participation in the Preparations Commits
sion.
Congress. as is well known. Is inclined
to be shocked at what the commission does,
but is loath to permit this Government to
assert its own interests there. Foreign
entangements' are feared. The logic Of
this view is elusive. but then Congress has
always been on excellent terms with par
adoy
