Voice of the People
TO POLICE HIGHWAYS.

PENNSYLVANIA has law that pro-
vides for highway policing. 1t di-
reefs the secretary of highways to em-
ploy traffic officers for the enforce
ment of the penal provisions of the
motor laws, and this force is now
being organized. The evils that will
receive particular attention are the
overlooking of trucks, speed of We
hicles and misuse of headlights.
/ Our traffic force says the official
in charge of the administration of the
law, will drive from the roads that
five per cent of vehicle operators who
through carelessness, ignorance or in
tent endanger the lives and property
of pedestrians and the ninety-fve per
cent of drivers who obey the laws and
rules of the road. We intend to make
Pennsylvania highways an unhealthy
place for intoxicated drivers. So
called speed demons will be curbed.
The traffic force will be looking for
those drivers who roar through the
state, utterly regardless of the rights
of the other fellow
The result of this undertaking will
be watched with interest everywhere,
because every community faces the
same problem Our highways are
strewn with accidents, for the most
part because a few drivers refuse to
show any regard for the safety Of
others. There will always be some
accidents, but drivers who are per-
sistently reckless and defiant Of motor
laws should be taken off the road
and kept off"
The above from the editorial column
of the Chicago Daily Drovers Journal,
| contains food for thought. Those
that have made a study of traffic in
the state of Pennsylvania, put ninety
! fiv1 per cent of the auto drivers in
the sane and fairly careful list. md
lay most of the danger to pedestrians
and the other auto drivers ana pas
sengers to reckless, careless, selfish
five per cent This may not be the
exact proportion, but the danger all
comes from small number.
A drunken man at the wheel of an
auto, is much more of a menace than
drunken man with a gun. With
nothing but the happiest of intentions,
he may cause untold damage. The
auto may be as much more dangerous
than gun as it is larger. A $4,000
fine will never check the trouble in
the least, nor any fine for that mat
ter. Nothing but bar from the wheel
for time or all together will effect
cure. Then drunkenness is not the
only trouble; there are those that are
so utterly regardless of others rights
that they require the. same treatment
as the "moonshine fellows"
Pennsylvania is going to try TO
curb this five per cent by extra police.
Police are all right if there is judge
to switch them to the right place
when the police bring them in. A
judge with backbone and business in
his eye can scale this five per cent
down quite a bit. Public sentiment
is one of the best things to put back
bone in a public servant and make
them think of "doing business" in
the right way.

RACINE PIANIST
PLAYS FOR CLUB
John Carrie Entertains Col
lege Club at Elks' Club
Last Evening.
CLUB OPENS SEASON

Ears of the Kenosha College club
members who were present at the first
meeting of the season held last even
ing at the Elks' club, are still ringing
with echoes of the pianoforte har-
monies brought forth under the skill
full hands of their guest, John Care,
a Racine pianist of unusual ability.
Mr.. Care achieved that for which
all musicians strive. He made his au-
dience forget his own technique and
musical mannerisms, in wonder at the
composers beauty of theme, and clar-
ity of thoughts, which, in expressing,
the player made his own.
Selections Are Varied.
The numbers which Carre played
last evening covered wide range of
theme and composers. His first selec-
ton was Haydn's Rondo in A which he
interpreted with an easy, merry Tilt,
which charmed his audience. Next,
he offered real novelty in Congo"
an ultra-modern fairy-tale, written by
an exponent of the latest trend of
thought.
Chopin's waltz in G sharp minor,
partly because of it's familiarity, and
it's simplicity of theme, proved fav-
orite last evening. Cares excellent
Interpretation of the we'll known com
position, tended tofenhance its appeal
and charm.
Brahms rhapsody in B minor was
again, widely different from any of the
other numbers. This Carre also exc
cuted we'll. AS final encore. the
musician naively established himself
in the hearts of his listeners With
Grieg's "To Spring"
Miss Nelson Dances.
The second artist-guest of the club
last evening was Miss Janet Nelson,
little dancer who has gained unre-
served admiration from audiences in
Kenosha and other North Shore cities.
Janet appeared in perky little cos
tune of black velvet and white satin,
fashioned with trousers, a cavalier
cape, and round velvet cap, after
the military mode. Her dance, too was
military, done to march music. Mrs.
Semley was her accompanist.s
The woman's lounge of the club was
decorated with bowls of autumn flow
ers, in shades of gold.
Prospective Members Present.
The meeting of the College club last
evening took the form of reception
to omany prospective new members OF
the American Association of University
Women, of which the Kenosha club is
asbranch.
ieThe new president for the year, Mrs.
Perdita Dewey Pope, presided and
several business matters were trans
acted.
o3Mrs. H. G. Maddox and Miss Cath
crime Byrne were elected delegates to
the state convention of A. A. U. W.,
to be held soon at Fond du Lac, Wis.
A new committee has been created IN
the club, on International Relations,
of which Miss Isabel Lowe, head OF the
history department at the Kenosha
High school, is chairman. The com
mittee will be actively engaged,
throughout the year in studying con-

ering suggestions for the Edward Box
