AUTO FATALITIES GAINING

Failure of municipalities to provide
sufficient play space was blamed BY
the Department of Labor for the
great number Of children killed b,
In q statement yester
day broadcast by radio. The state
ment said in part:
While industry has been ef-
fectively dealing with accidents a
new menace to human life has
been assuming alarming proper
tinos- Our streets and highways
have become places Of danger.
DEATH RATE GAINS.
The city of Washington will be
sadly aware Of this. as during this
week 1t dedicates a monument to
the ninety-seven children who have
died in the past year as result of
automobile accidents. =
While nationally deaths per
1000 automobiles have somewhat
decreased. the total deaths have
steadily increased. In 1919 there
were 9,s6s fatalities and in 1920
there were 11.607.
In the month of September,
1922, the policy holders Of a lead.
ing life insurance company suf-
fered the highest fatality rate
from automobiles ever recorded for
thenl-16.5 deaths per 100000.
The public has a right to de-
mand that streets and highways
be made as safe as engineering
skill can make them. The great
engineering problem Of the present
time Is the grade crossing of the
railway.
FAIRGROUNDS NEEDED.
The records Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission show that
with the increase of automobile
traffic. accidents at grade cross.
ings have mounted from year to
year.
That children are often the
victims Of the modern juggernaut
has been already indicated. Much
of this is due to the fact that
municipalities have not supplied
adequate play space. The streets
become playground. Result.
death. The public should demand
better engineering in regard to
this matter.
The development of satisfactory
traffic regulations is a matter OF
engineering very largely. Finally,
the public itself needs education
regarding care in, use of streets
and highways.

FINANCE
AND
|RUSINESS
N b C. FoRBEA

What manner of man today
fills the biggest job in the whole
world?
! knew about him only In .
vague sort of way until yesterday
when, In course of q luncheon
talk with Otto H. Kahn. who has
known him well for years, l got
q closeup. intimate, open picture
Of him.
The man is, of course, Bonar
Law. the real ruler of the Brit
ish Empire, who has just succeed
ed the inimitable David Lloyd
George.
Bonar Law, although he wears
the label conservative" Is what
Disraeli called "a Tory Demo-
crat." He is not a rich man, he
has few friends among the rich
men, and on many subjects does
not see eye-to-eye with rich men.
For example. when Bonar Law
was chancellor of the exchequer
It became his duty to fix the in
terest to be carried on Great
Britain's war loans. He sum-
moned the leading bankers and
financiers and discussed the war
financing problem with them,
and asked them what rate of in
terest would have to be paid.
They unanimously agreed that
six per cent would have to be the
minimum. Bonar Law said that
was, in his opinion. too high a
rate. However. he would think
It over and let them know his de-
cision.
A few days later he summoned
them again to tell them he had
decided to pay only five per cent
and assured them that he had
convinced himself that this rate
would bring in all the money
needed. The bankers predicted
failure. But Bonar Law stuck to
his guns. And the lower rate did
the trick.
Bonar Law is q Canadian Scot,
sixty-four years old. He was not
q professional man, but an iron
merchant. who became interested
In public work. Maybe it would
be more correct to say, not that
he won his way to the front po-
litically, he was compelled by
others to accept leadership.
His judgment was found to be
almost infallible. He newer had
any personal ak to grind. He
seeks nothing for himself, neith-
er office nor titles. He lives
comparatively modestly and is a
man of simple tastes. He is a
deep reader and no mean scholar.
He goes to the bottom Of things.
He spends much of his time alone,
studying. He takes a philosophic
view of life.
He refuses to trim his sails
to catch passing winds of popu-
larity. Although Democratic
through and through, he does not
set Demos upon a pedestal and
blindly worship him. In other
words, he will not become the
slave of the masses when he be-
heves the masses are clamoring

Gus Larson
! Suggests Club
FORMER RESIDENT WRITES OF
WORK WHICH KIWANIS OR
ROTARY CLUB MIGHT Do.

The following letter, written by G.
e. Larson from his present home at
Harrisburg, Pa, is self explanatory and
The Gazette takes the liberty of pub
fishing it in part so that all Mr.. Lar
sons former townsmen may learn his
experience in club such as he sug-
gests.
Dear Mrs. Wilson:
"In the lower left hand corner on
the front page of your last issue, |
noted your comments relative to the
Kiwanis Club of Fairmont having
taken over the matter of handling
the Red Cross work there during the
coming campaign, and your desire
that your own locality had a similar
organization which would accept re
sponsibility for similar work.
"This is interesting to me and shows
very clearly your estimate of the
value of organizations of that char
acter. AS member of the Harris
burg Rotary Club and being fully ac-
quainted with the work done by that
organization along various lines, can
readily appreciate what the Kiwanians
Of Fairmont can do when they put
their shoulders to an enterprise of
any kind.
81 wish I could tell you of some
things that the Rotary Club of this
city has done during the past year. 1
could also tell you of some very fine
things that the Kiwanis Club of this
city has done during the past year,
but it would require too much time
and hence l do not want to bother
you with it. The thing that l have in
mind and which | have been on the
point of writing to some of my good
friends in Redwood Falls about was
the fact that they needed an organiza-
ton of some kind to not only cooperate
in many of the city enterprises that
come up but also some of the things
which you have had to do along ma
tional lines. -
Il have hesitated somewhat because
of the fact that your city may not be
quite large enough to organize
club of that character. However,
many small cities have not only a
Rotary Clubs but Kiwanis Club and I
am not sure but if some real wide
awake business man could become
thoroughly sold on a proposition of
that kind, that you at Redwood Falls
could well support some such club.
y primarily, they are business mems
clubs, one member for each classical
ton of business in the city and the
motto and slogan which Rotary In
ternational holds out to the world is
Service above Self. He Profits most
who Serves Best-and indeed is al
beautiful ideal to strive for.
"Most of us have hobby and if it
We're not so, it would be rather hum

allied to the Boys Work within our

very fine things have been done to- !
