USE THE TEETH

Following the death Of William
Wood, Jr., in the wreckage of the
highpowered automobile on Massa-
chusetts road last week, it has been
revealed that this young son of the
American Woolen mills millionaire
was generally known as reckless
driver. According to reports Of
those who have examined the police
records, young Wood had been ar
rested many times in numerous
penalty ever ASSESSED against him
was a fine which, because Of his
wealth, amounted to no punishment
at all. Finally the recklessness
which had made him a traffic men
ace so many times brought his un-
doing when his Rolls-Royce, racing
with another machine, after damag-
ing several smaller cars, crashed in
to a telephone pole and turtled with
the driver crushed beneath it. Fore
sight on the part of Massachusetts
authorities and enforced regard for
the states laws might have saved
young Wood from himself just as
it might have safeguarded others
who were victims OF his irresponsible
driving.
Massachusetts has drivers
license law similar to Michigan's.
At one time Woods license to drive
was suspended, but within a few
days it was restored on the promise
to hold down to a speed of 25 miles
an hour. He didn't keep that prom
Use; and everybody who knew any
thing about travel on the Massachu-
sets. highways apparently knew
that he wasn't keeping the promise.
But he still had license to drive
although a figure in dozens of acci-
dents and numerous arrests for
speeding-when finally his reckless
ness came home to claim its last VIC
tim.
Massachusetts is partly to blame
for the death Of this young million
aire. But Michigan can't throw
stones. If we have no young William
Woods-and we're not saying that
we haven't-in Michigan, it is no
fault of law enforcement officials.
If the drivers license law has any
value at all, it rests in a theoretical
check imposed upon those who drive
automobiles. Presumably they are
barred from the wheel unless they
have licenses; and presumably they
can't have licenses unless they obey
the laws. But it hasn't worked out
that way. To make the drivers IL
cense worth the paper it's printed on
and the half-dollar it costs the hold
er, habitual violators Of speed regu-
lations should be deprived of their
right to drive-temporarily at first,
but permanently on continuing dis
regard of the laws. And certainly
the punishment of drunken drivers
should not stop with a mere fine
while revocation or suspension of the
license to drive is made possible by

That farming of the future will be

That the progressive business man

expect to find discomfort, for the citi-

is more or less 10 be sympathised with
II he seeks 10 acquire little larger
privilege. But when the subject Of
the autoorat goes too far he Is sum
marily dealt with and has no re-
course.
1t is only too evident that those
who shout the loudest against the
curtailment of their rights in this
country are but lately out of the Old
World states where they have had no
rights at all. The doctrines which
are creating the most unrest and the
most dissatisfaction in this country
are imported. Attorney General
Daugherty, of all men in this nation,
knows about the activities of the paid
agents of the Russian bolshevists.
These emissaries Of vicious lot Of
autocrats are here to try To tell us
how to run country, when our plain
common sense tells us they know less
than nothing about such affairs. Any
brain that can be Influenced To favor
bolshevism or anything akin to it,
after witnessing what has happened
in Russia, must be diseased or dis
ordered. The most charitable thing
we can say of this kind Of impress
sionable people is that they are ig-
norant. May the good Lord put off
for long the day when the ignorant
shall rule in this country. And may
the good Lord put off for a still long
er time the day when we shall be
ruled by mobs.
In one of our golf clubs the other
day the caddies went on strike. They
wanted to dictate the manner in which
they should be paid for their services.
There was a symptom of the too gen
eral impression prevailing in this
country that the man is greater. than
the master. The trouble is, we have
forgotten our discipline, we have
foregone order, W have forgotten
that good old word "obey." Every
body wants to be the boss, and nobody
wants TO take orders. That is the
reason industry is disturbed. There
must always be an argument about
somebody's imagined rights when the
order to do something is issued by
the individual in position to issue
that order. The rebellion against or
der has grown to such proportions
that the edicts Of government itself
are debated and argued and opposed.
If this thing goes on we shall soon be
mob, not a nation.
Suppose we forget the twaddle
about free speech for awhile and get
down to real freedom of action. Sup
pose all those who are satisfied with
conditions they are the vast
ma jority-begin insisting upon the
full respect Of their constitutional
rights by the dissatisfied, disgruntled,
inharmonious few. Suppose we stand
behind our government with all our
hearts and all our strength. Suppose
we become active, thorough, coura-
geous, patriotic Americans once
again, awakening from our lethargy
to protect our precious birthright
against the plotters and the schemers
who would destroy us. Suppose we
quit crticizing our government. even
though its every act does not suit US.
If we will do that we shall once more
have a strong government, and only
a strong government can survive

ODD IDEA ABOUT LIGHTNING


Although thunderstorms have
been numerous this summer and
lightning severe, the reported num-
Der Of persons struck has been COM
paratively small. However. deaths
due to lightning are more mum Arous
than is thought by most persons. In
one recent year, for which reports
were gathered and published by the
United States weather bureau, $50
persons we're killed by sky bolts.
In the olden days, when supersti-
ton held greater sway, it was be-
heyed that death by lightning was
An especial mark of favor from the
gods. In the rare cases when light
ming struck without fatal effects the
survivors were held in high honor
IS having been touched directly by
supernatural powers OF those who
died il was said their bodies were
preserved forever.
But, naturally, there was no live
~ yearning among the ancients for
mch honors, enjoyed in the flesh or
post-hnmously. Charms against
lightning were in demand, although |
1t must have puzzled the logical
Greek or Roman to reconcile the
wearing OF such fetiehes with the
belief that hghtning-struck persons
were beloved Of Jupiter and his
lesser lights. Images OF the eagle
and the sea calf and pictures of the
laurel were held in high esteem as
preserystiyes against lightning.

finely chopped aromatic herbs. The
name with which the cheese was
labeled constituted its sole original

POLAND TO EXPORT EGGS

Poland will have available for ex-
port from 700 to 1000 carloads of
eggs annually, according to recent
calculations based on the potential
egg production of the nation, says
the Poland Magazine. 1t is esti-
mated that the annual production
is approximately s,O0O,O0O,0OO eggs,
or $4,000 carloads.
At recent conference in Cracow
the continued control of the egg er-
port trade was favored, since other
wise the low rate Of Polish exchange
would tend toward the exporting of
too great q proportion Of the ma
tons egg supply At the present
rate of exchange it is about / cent

General Rondon won this popular

its rubber, where he so successfully
won the confidence of the natives by
his fair treatment and human as

General Rondon is the ninth man
