In 1920 the six counties compos-
ing the 18th Judicial District cast
1884 votes for Morrison for Gov
ernor. This is an off year and not
so many votes will be cast this year
in the primary. Union county can
cast more than half that number
of votes, if our Democrats will turn
out and vote. Union has more than
10000 white voters in it, and nearly
all of them are Democrats. In 1920
the census gave Cabarrus county a
population of $3.50 and in the same
year that county cast $500 votes in
the general election. The census
gave Davidson county 35,201 people
and in the same year it cast 10,751
votes. The same census gave Union
county 5000 people. Why should
Union county not have 1000 vot.
ers? There are not over 1000 Re-
publicans in the county and we be.

Our Increasing Oil Reserve.

Petroleum consumption In this
country has been going ahead of
production at the rate OF more than
so, 100000 barrels a year. In 1921
the total production reported by the
Geological Survey was 469.600,0O0
barrels and the consumption was
525, 10000 barrels. In 1920 the pro-
duction was 443,000,00O barrels and
the consumption 530.000.000 barrels.
The reserve stock of oil above the
ground dropped from 179,O00,000 bar,
rels in 1916 to f23,O00,00O barrels at
the end OF 1920.
1t was this serious depletion OF our
oil reserve which moved WALTER G.
TEAGLE of the Standard Oil Company
to warn the nation three months ago
that the only way to reach price sta
bility in the petroleum industry was
to build up a reserve larger than the
country had ever before known. lie

in New York city, 1t is both practi-
able and sensible for the Governor
to ask the Mayor for information and
advice on measures relating to the
county.
Eighteen Of these county bills have
been sent to City Hall from the Gov
ernor's ONCE. The Mayor is of
course under no legal obligation to
examine any of them or to put him
self on record concerning any Of
them; nor is the Governor under
any obligation to adjust his attitude
toward any bill in accordance with
recommendations the Mayor may
make. But local administration will
be bettered and governmental condi-
tions will be improved il between
Governor and Mayor there is hearty
cooperation on bills of this kind.
Governor MILLER, with the straight
forwardness end comprehension of
fundamental principles which char.
acterize him, has moved to establish
such cooperation, and the precedent
he has set should be followed by his
successors.

Attacking the Speed Evil.

The traffic policemen and the
courts are going at the speeding evil
in the only way that will abate it
until there is better system OF
licensing drivers. On one day 335
cases were heard in the Traffic Court,
where sits Magistrate HOUSE, the
most earnest opponent Of the speed
maniacs. Forty-six chauffeurs were
sent to Jail and $4,100 was collected
in fines.
For more than year motor cars
have been killing New Workers at the
rate OF two or three a day. Some
times the pedestrian is at fault,
sometimes the killing is purely acct
dental; but in most cases the auto
mobile crushes the victim because
the driver is careless dnfit to handle
car or drunk with that sense Of
power which seizes some individuals
when they take the wheel.
Fines may do good in the case OF
first offenders against the rules 2f
the road; but prison terms are the
best cure for the speed mania.

Crime Wave Causes.
One Is Toe Many Taxlcabs, Another
the Corner Saloon.

TO TIE New YORK HERALD: One
cause Of crime is that a good many men
have invested their life savings in q
taxicab to find they can make only q
bare living and can never get their
money back This is because there are
too many taxicabs in New York and
their rates are too low.
Taxlcab drivers are prosecuted on the
streets instead OF being protected and
become desperate and easy prey for
anybody who may show them way to
easy money.
Another cause OF crime is the exist
ing corner saloon Every man, woman
and child knows these places are open
to-day. l do not favor prohibition, but
these places sell the cheapest grade Of
alcohol colored IL they gave the un-
fortunates who patronizc them decen.
drink 1t would not be so bad. Instead
they are navens OF anarchy, where tNe
Government is denounced, where prohi-
bltion Is given as the cause for all their
misfortunes and where they are even
given cocaine and heroin in order u
make 1t appear that prohibition is the
cause of the drug fiends.
Many a holdup and robbery is
planned in these places and encouraged
are a disgrace to the city. The sooner
they are done away with the sooner
your crime wave will ceas. to exist.

Moral of Chicago's Fire.
The Same Lesson Taught by the
Equitable Building Fire Here.

To THE New YORK HERALD: There
was nothing in the recent Chicago fire
TO reflect adversely upon either fire re-
slstant construction or the principle OF
automatic control OF fire by automatic
water sprinklers. What this fire does
cast reflection upon is the continued
disregard of the fundamental law of
fire control, which Is to confine the fire
to the locality OF origin.
The Equitable Building fire OF Janu-
airy, 1912. demonstrated this principle
so forcibly that the new Equitable
Building Is equipped in all portions
where fire might originate with auto
matte water sprinklers in order that a
possible fire shall be confined to the
locality of origin, and this despite the
the building are such that o fire would
not progress very far
The recent fire in Chicago started IN
an insignificant building. in which there
had not been any regard manifested In
practical ways for the principle Of con-
finng fire to the locality OF origin
The building was only two stories high
therefore it may have been thought thet
the Fire Department could be depended
upon to do all things necessary for this
purpose. Fire departments In this cour-
try perform marvellous service, and II
they did not there would be many more
neighborhood fires OF the sort that oc-
CURED in Chicago. There Is altogether
too much disposition throughout the
country to impose undue responsibility
upon municipal fire departments. anf
IL the Chicago fire Is illustrative Of any
thing it is the tendency. TO pass thf
buck to the fire departments and ie
them take care of conditions that should
be taken care of otherwise.
And the way the fire burned unre-
strained in the seven upper stories Of
the c., b. s. @. r. r. building in Chi
cago should remind us here In New York
of the connagration possibilities in the
office building section OF N.nhattar
south OF Fulton street. =
1t may not be emphasized too
strongly that what. the Chicago tire
illustrated more than anything else Is
the mischief that is bound to result
from ignoring the fundamental law Of
fire control. which Is to confine the fire

England was suffering from business
depression, conditions were slowly re-

he said should be run - Individuals as

Like a Woman in Terror.
Screams of Mountain Lion Heard
by Honeymooners in Camp.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Several
years ago. while on our honeymoon. my
husband and I camped on the eastern
slope Of the Rockies some distance north
of Denver. We were without shelter,
sleeping on the ground with a small fire
for company. Our camp was situated on
one side OF ravins, the opposite side
being some 800 yards away.
One night coon after dark was STAR
tied by a wo,nan's scream. AS the sound
continued 1t increased In intensity, then
nuioting down IL was Enthusiastically the
cry OF an animal Accompanying It were
several sharp barls, and we concluded
that this lone animal was followed by
two coyotes. and having given his blood
curdling warning had continued peace
fully on. We jumped to our feet of
course and figured that the meeting took
place just opposite to US on an old. un-
used heavily wooded trail, My husband
being true out of doors man. his only
emotions were amusement at my terror
and disappointment at being unable to
take home the animals skin.
! notice that there Is a difference OF
opinion as 10 the distance the cries of
the mountain lion can be heard. Ny
husband has several times heard them at
a distance of two miles on still nights.
For years l had read and been told
that a mountain lions cry was blood
curdling and closely resembled the
scream Of a woman in pain and terror.
1t is quite true. While hold this ex-
porience as one of the most interesting
Of its kind in my life / would not care
to repeat it often. READER.
