Training a Bridegroom

The San Francisco marriage license
bureau has been doing a rushing bust
ness during the romantic month of
June. And many are the objects and
papers that are lost by the flustered
couples who enter it's halls. So the
clerks have formed the custom of ex-
aiming everything carefully that is
left behind by the seekers after con-
nubial bliss. One day they received a
distinct shock.
Written on piece of pink paper, in
small but determined feminine hand,
was complete list of instructions for
the bridegroom. It was headed ssDo's

The Man With the Gun

A district in Kansas City is aroused
over the death of little girl who was
run down by reckless motorist, who
did not even stop his car after the ac-
cident. 1t is not matter that con-
Germs any one part of the city. No
child is safe. Accidents to children
and to older persons from careless
driving are of daily occurrence.
It is conceivable that child by sud-
denly darting into the street from be-
hind some obstruction may make an
accident unavoidable. But that kind of
case is rare. The responsibility usu-
ally rests, and must continue to rest,
with the driver of the car, the man
with the gun. r.
How shall any parent be enabled to
feel that child is safe? How shall
any person who uses the streets be
reasonably certain of safety? Not by
more laws or traffic regulations. Com
munity action will help. But above
all there must be enforcement of the
laws.
AS long as motorists who kill and
MAIN people get off with moderate
fines or no punishment at. all, condi
lions will remain what they are and
have been. When motorist is found
guilty of recklessness that results in
death or serious injury or that might
have resulted in such, he must be
punished just as severely as any law
will allow. There has been warning
enough, there have been trials enough
of other methods. AS long as pull
influence or easy treatment prevail,
the children are going to be slaugh-
tered and nobody is going to be safe.
A year or two in Jail for a few
guilty motorists, no matter who they
are, will end the child murders. No
thing else will.
