Editorial Comment
" Keeping On
public Ledger.l

The tradition of fidelity to duty
and of keeping in harness against
odds, which is a familiar fact in
journalism, was illustrated in the
career of John Siddall, editor Of the
American Magazine. Before round
ing the half-century mark, cancer
has claimed him as another shining
victim. He lived his life intensely
to the end, though he knew four
months ago the doom that awaited
him. He was silent to his friends
and associates as to his affection.
and went on with his work, preparing
an issue of his magazine which he
was not destined to see.
Mr.. Siddall had worked his way
upward, and gave himself q Harvrd
education, after years of successful
experience as a reporter. He de-
served everything that came to him:
His brave acquiescence when he had
reached the apex Of his career re
minds one of the fortitude with
which another noted publisher. the
late Sir Arthur Pearson, rose to meet
the affiiction of blindness, in the hey
dey of prosperity.
The American Magazine. when
has published many stories of men OF
indomitable soul, can narrate no
more impressive story Of quiet hero
ism than that of the last chapter In
the life of its own editor.

A MIscHIEvoUs OFFICIAL

The press has made much Of a re-
cent statement by Detroit judge to
the effect that more automobile acct
dents are due to lettering on the road
than to speeding.
Unless human nature and the con-
ditions in Detroit are different from
those in this part Of the country, De-
troit should get a better brand of
Judge without delay. The evidence of
this is under the observation Of peo-
pie generally. They have only to
consider the accidents which have
come to their attention. They are not
required to depend on statistics, on
newspaper reports or the findings of
a Detroit judge who would better be
in some other vocation. They know
excessive speed is prime cause OF
most Of the accidents.
This does not excuse dawdling
along the highways. There is a
golden mean in motoring, an adapt
alton to circumstances which is high
ly essential to reasonable safety. To
attain this, some brains are required,
more than appear to be required to
secure permission to operate a car.
And it is to the brainless that the
mischievous remarks of the Detroit
Judge will appeal.
We would respectfully refer to the
Judges consideration a word from
wv. B. j., in Newkirk's "All Sorts"
column Of the Boston Post:
1.-The burglar, stealing in the night
the bandit, holding up the train
the forger, who will take delight in
doing wrong for worldly eain-the
vile blackmailer-all are bad, but they
have nothing on this skate who
drives his motor car like mad, de-
pending on a tickle fate to guide him
OH his crazy way. while people cuss
him day by day..

No. Guess again. Wrong this ume'
too.
The busiest industry in America IS
lawmaking. ,,,,-
Think Of 1t. Fully $4,000 bins
dealing with business have been in
tloduced in state legislatures IN the
last twelve months and it is figured
that new state laws will be passed
at the rate of 1000 month all
through 1923. Then in the last five
Congresses 10000 bills for new laws
have been introduced ana upwards
of 2,4OO have been passed.
America is the land of mass pro-
duction. Palpably our lawmakers
have, caught the mass production
mania In the case of industry, some
regard is had to quality. In the case
of our lawmakers. quantity. judging
by the results, has been their sole
aim.
1t is. time. for the American people
to beseech every lawmaKer IN the
land: Physician heal thyself.
