JAIL FOR

Reports of penalties imposed on au.
tomobile offenders by justices In cities
Of the Middle and Far West reveal a
growing policy Of severer punishment.
In Detroit speeders are sent to jail for
terms of n to fifteen days. In Louis
Vile fines of 50 for each mile per hour
are imposed by one police judge, with
jail sentences for i~ntoxication. Cleve-
land courts impose workhouse sen
fences and require morgue and hos
pital visits. The latter practice pre-
walls in Omaha. In Los Angeles dur
Ing the two weeks ending December
8, 281 persons convicted Of traffic
law violations were sentenced to jail
terms of from one to u hundred
days. The Los Angeles convictions fol
lowed a campaign by police magls-
trates to curtail accidents, and the
harsher penalties elsewhere evidence
d similar disposition to deal more
drastfcally with a progressive evil.
1t is a commendable policy, says the
New York World. In the case of III
tomobile accidents resulting In death
the punishment has never been ADJUST
ed to fit the crime. The time when
1t will be may be far in the future, but
1t Is encouraging to find indications of
progress toward it.

Some one remarks that the silk hat
has passed virtually out Of fashion,
being used now only for funerals and
weddings. Why ignore the fact that
it remains the correct headgear In re-
viewing stands? Why fall to see that
movie idols would rather die than
hand a butler something he could not
brush with his sleeve? What of the
top hat in the comics? Fashion may
come and go, wax and wane, but it
is likely to be a very distant genera
ton whose funny papers will not pic
ture the "plug" as the common and
familiar ~toppiece OF millionaires, so
cial lions and citizens out for a Sun
day walk. The reason is that In the
most popular comics something must
be smashed, and there Is nothing
which can look more smashed, when
subjected to harsh treatment, than a
top hat.

AQuaker Gunsr

Dummy amor are called "Quaket
guns" In reference to the doctrines of
nonresistance held by Quakers The
Confederate general, Joseph E. John
ston, speaking Of his position at Ma
nassas IN early 1862, said: "As we had
not artillery enough against their
works and for the army fighting else
where at the same time, rough wooden
limitations of guns were made, and
kept near the embrasures, In readiness
for exhibition In them. To conceal the
absence Of carriages, the embrasures
were covered with sheds made Of
bushes. These were the quaker guns
afterwards noticed In northern pa
pers."

IN INDIA

The events Of the last few years In
India, as well as In the world outside,
have made Indians dissatisfied with
p~Iesent-day western civilization. They
feel that it is based not on moral
principles, but on brute force. They
find that there is no alliance between
the words and actions of European
governments, because they talk Of
one thing and do another, writes Y.
B. Meta in Current History Magazine.
They realize that Turkey would have
been robbed Of everything had she
not been able to defeat the Greeks by
military force They also see that
Japan is respected by the western
powers because she is a strong power,
and not because she is good. There
fore, there Is sorrow In their hearts.
They do not hate the British or any
other European people. What they
dislike is the present immoral govern
ments of these nations Of the West.
If these governments could be funda-
mentally improved the Indians would
have nothing to be dissatisfied with.
They are waiting for the dawn Of bet
ter days to come. Is that day com
ing from the East or from the Far
West?
