Tribute to Small Town Paper

Speaking recently at a Wash
ington State Utility Conference,
Charles E. Blackwell, a success
full country merchant located at
Okanogan, paid a high tribute
to the small-town paper as an
advertising medium. He said:
There are many lines of pub
licity that the country store
can use to advantage, but the
one he can use to best advan-
tage is his home town paper. l
venture to say that if the money
spent each year for fancy cal
enders and other knick-knack
give-aways were invested l
say invested, not spent or dona-
ted : in carefully planned news
paper publicity, the actual net
returnes to the advertiser would
be ten times as great, to say
of the advantage the
small town paper would derive
from the additional and much
needed revenue"

The Drunken Driver

II is high time the legislative
and judicial authorities began to
consider the crime (the word is
used advisedly)of drunkenness
when driving motor car as in
finitely more serious than is
drunkenness under ordinary cir
cumstances. Prohibition is as yet
too new for the world old opinion
of the drunken man, as one to be
laughed at. pitied, perhaps. put
to bed to sober up, fined a small
sum as a public nuisance, to
cha.ge, at least overnight.
But drunkenness which can
harm no one but the
inebriated man is one thing;
drunkenness which is menace
to all who use the streets
and roads. and which via the car;
converts the otherwise innocuous
victim Of his appetite to q poten-
tally wholesale murderer. is en-
tirely, something else.
Sentiment u swinging over 70
Roanoke Rapids herald., 1924-01-04

regarding the drunken driver as
one who commits more than a
misdemeanor; but it should swing
faster and go further. The man
who, drunk, drives a car or
truck, is a mailman; a man with
out sense, without reosonability,
without judgment, He puts in
jeopardy the lives of men, wo-
meu, and children. He enoangers
property. He may cause frightful
loss of life, hideous manning, ter
rible accidents. No maniac with
a gun is allowed upon the streets;
the man who deliberately makes
himself a maniac and fits himself
out with a car loaded with poten-
tial death for many. should be
dealt with with the utmost sever
|ity. A few dollars fine, few
days in Jail, loss of license.
are not enough. The man who
runs amuck with a gun. killing
and manning, gets years behind
the bars. The man who runs
amuck with a car while drunk is
even more culpable.
Let judges once get it through
their precedent bound legal
minds that il is not the drunken
ness. but the drunken driving,
which is the crime, and our
already crowded hard roads will
be safer for US all; our children
our women drivers, as we'll as
our sober citizens protected, as
they have right to, from a
menace which has no excuse
ega or social, for existing.

Gated would be sure to be at
tended with complications and
difficulties at every turn. For ex-
ample, the State Department
dwells with emphasis upon
constitutional prodecure' in
Mexico. Is there not danger that
we should make a great mistake
in imputing to Mexicans or Cen
tral Americans our own ideas
about the nature and sacredness
of a Constitution? We have seen
again how the Mexicans regard
their organic law. Secretary
Hughes himself in his recent
negotiations with Mexico must
have discovered by how many
degrees of latitude Mexican
constitutional conceptions differ
from our own. 1t is always a
peril to take at its face value a
paper theory of government,
when hard realities differ from
it radically. The known fact is
that Americans and Mexicans
do not mean the same thing
when they use the same words
lin all this business. Centuries
of experience have got certain
constitutional ideas lodged in
(our minds which are not yet ma
tive to theirs. We see how the
Huertistas in Mexico today
gravely consider their revolu-
tion to be for the express pur-
pose of upholding the Mexican
Constitution.
Still deeper will be the con-
fusion if we undertake to decide
not only what is law in this
hemisphere but what is order.
That is . flexible ard .,.>.o.G.--o 5,

kind of order that reigned in
Warsaw. Americans would not
wish to identify themselves or
their Government with that
species of order. Naturally and
for good reasons, we strongly
desire that our neighbor repub-
lies should be orderly in the best
sense. But till now we have ben
content to tell them so, to give
them good advice,and to leave
them to work out their own po-
litical salvation. If now our poll
cy is to be that of deciding which
is the pure and constitutional
Government, and of helping to
keep it in office, We shall be in
viting trouble for ourselves and
provoking new crop of ami
mosities against us everywhere
to the south. The subject is so
complex and momentous that
Congress is certain to call for
all possible light on it and to
discuss it in all its bearings.

Pan-American Order

The official defense of the ac-
ton of the Washington Govern
ment in aiding President Obre-
gon to put down the rebellion in
Mexico by the sale to him OF a
quantity of our surplus rifles and
ammunition breathes an air OF
entire sincerity. 1t states but the
truth when it expresses the ar
dent hope of Americans that
Mexico may break away from
her revolutionary past and de-
termine the succession to her
Presidency 'by peaceful and
constitutional methods" An ap-
peal for help came from Presi-
dent Obregon, to prevent the
overthrow of his Government
by violence. He desies, as the Ad-
ministration at Washington de-
sires. "that order may be re-
stored and preserved and con-
stitutional procedure followed. y
To such an appeal our Govern
ment protests that it could not
be "insensible." Consequently it
decided to sell to the constitu-
tional Government of Mexico,
which we had at last recognized,
limited quantity of war ma
terial, not for the purpose Of
encouraging warfare but of
supporting established law and
order"
This is a plausible argument,
but it unconsciously reveals a
new policy, or at least new
step in an old policy, now appar-
emily determined upon by our
Government. That the United
States occupies a special posi-
tion respecting Central and
South America doctrine. But
for many years this was con-
fined almost entirely to inter-
national relations. This country
stood ready to prevent colonial
tion or conquest on this hemis-
phere by any European Power.
On the other hand, the United
States Government has fire.
quently had occasion in recent
years to insist that the republics
to the south of us should live up
to their international obliga-
tions. Thus we have assumed in
respect to them a sort of two
faced trust. But we could not
stop with that. We were often
embarrassed by the unhappy
custom of setting up revolution
ary Governments in various
parts of Central and South
America and were left in doubt
which one ought to be recognized
as lawful. Little by little we have
been working toward the prin-
ciple which was almost explicit
ly stated by President Wilson,
that the United States would
?nhetpoo--o- ,hfamrtfomdafwy
not recognize any Government
on this continent that came into
power by means of force and
bloodshed.
Now it would seem that Secre-
tary Hughes feels the need of
going further. We must prevent
revolutions, or nip them in the
bud, SO as to save ourseles the
awkwardness of having to deal
with one officially, if it became
successful. # this new plan is
accepted and carried out, it
would have the effect Of max
ing the United States not only
the friend but the active sup
porter Of every constitutional
Government in Spanish America. |
We should be thought to b COM
ing forward as the powerful
guarantor Of "order" ii the Pam |
American world.
