A VOICE IN THE FOG

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Doc
Evans of Dallas, Tex, Imperial
Wizard of the Ku KluX Khan, whG
will mount the rostrum to explain
to you just what the khan stands
flor and what it is going to do
Now, Doctor, make it as lucid as
you can, for our folks are full OF
curiosity, and they have heard SO
many false stories about the mo-
tives of the boys in the white
nighties that they ought to be set
right. Doc Evans speaking:
The spirit of khan craft has
enwrapped the United States
in mantle of love for cOun-
try which designing and am
bilious politicians cannot
break
(note the essential difference be-
tween this mantle and the pesky
things that come with our Wells
bach light)
and in a few brief years the
influence Of the khan will have
so engulfed the thought Of the
country that we can expect in
telligent legislation from the :
congress of the United States
which will drag down the
white flag of the supine inertia
from our Legislative halls and
raise in its place the militant
flag of red, white and blue,
which means the thing nearest
the heart of every real Amer
lean.
We feel trifle dizzy after hear
ing this, but we think We get the
Docs idea. BY wearing white
nightgOwn we can scare congress
into state of intelligence and
secure the right to hang out our
flag on national holidays. Well,
we are in favor of that. If we can
get intelligent legislation from
congress by patronizing the Janu-
airy white sales, lead us to the bar
gain counters. But We do wish the
Imperial Wizard would go over his
stuff and boil it down a little be-
fore handing it around to us seek
ers after truth and wisdom; for we
feel that the caution with which
we must grope our way through
the fog of his utterances may make
us too late for the f1ag-raising.-

THE LUNATIC MINORITY AMONG
DRIVERS

eff more people would bother
themselves over reporting and fol-
lowing up traffic violations the
streets would be safer" said Judge
Faust, commenting on his own action
in obtaining the same and license
number of driver later fined and
imprisoned, who crossed Second
boulevard at Palmer avenue at an
excessive rate of speed.
There is something to that We
let the law violators get by with
their carelessness as long as they
do no damage to US. MOTORISTS
pass to the riglt of other cars,
pass cars that are them selves pass
ing cars, drive without lights, fail
to stop for halted street cars, and
otherwise take chances with their
own and others safety When
they escape without hurting them
selves or others nothing is done
about it, though usually each act
of law violation has it's witnesses.
Yet every defiance of the funda-
mental of safe driving helps make
the streets unsafe. 1t is because
the reckless get by many times
without accident that tney are en-
couraged to take the chance which
ultimately causes a tragedy. No
body deliberately seeks to endang-
er himself or others. But long
practice and immunity in running
risks for the sake of trivial saw
ing of time accustoms the driver to
the idea that he can flout the fun
damentals of safe driving as laid
down in the police department
rules.
If everybody took more interest IN
reporting violations. our city would
not have tnc melancholy record it
has for motor tragedies.
Eliminate the lunatic minority
among motorists and all other
motorists would be ,safer.-Detroit

FLEES BLAZING HOME
Mrs. Rockefeller and Daugh-

Smoked Out.

New York, Feb. Mrs. William G..
Rockefeller, widow of the late financier,
and her daughter, Florence, were forced
to flee in their night clothes TO a
neighboring hotel when fire damaged

The fire was discovered by a maid
who aroused Mrs. Rockefeller and her
daughter and summoned aid.
The fire caused considerable damage

brigade. Costly tapestries, painting
and art objects were endangered for a
time.

maids. After fleeing to the basement

clad and barefooted, TO the hotel.
