Accidents are q daily occurrence. Travel In pr

the chances for accidents increase. Travel by street

the Government to those who de-
sire It.
A national bulletin would not
only present the issues. but It
should have editorial space in
. which representatives Of the differ.
ent parties could present argu.
ments pro and con. 30, that all the
people would have all the informa-
ton necessary to sit in Judgment
on all questions.
Such a paper should also furnish
space on equal terms to all candi-
dates legitimately before the coun-
try 80 that political honors will be
open to the poor as well as the
to the rich. A national bulletin
would do more than any other
one thing to shorten the period Of
agitation and insure the triumph
Of that which Is right.
The sense Of justice in the heart
of the American people can be

and the arguments. Let there be
