Decrying the widespread belief that

The geographical and economic
development of the Latin American
and girls, and they should be made
acquainted with the important con-
tributions which these countries have
made to the common culture OF hu-
manity. Their history abounds with
fruitful lessons, and their literature
is saturated with the spirit of those
great pioneers who were willing to
ment of freedom. There is no prouder
task confronting educators than the
contribution of those permanent fac
tors in the development of interna-
tional unity and the maintenance of
world peace" he declared.

GASOLINE SETTLES 1T

A writer i'm a metropolitan news
paper takes the position that gasoline
has forever settled the prohibition
amendment, including the Volstead
act.
His logic is good, in the light Of
the facts. There are more than
fifteen million registered automobiles
and motor trucks in the United
States, one for every seven persons.
Is there any sensible person who
will admit that any one of these fiji
teen million drivers should be per-
mitted 70 drink? We scarcely think
SO.
The locomotive engineer, who under
railroad rules and discipline of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin-
GERS. is not allowed to drink intoxi-
eating liquor, was never under any
greater strain than the MAJ, who is
driving an automobile in city traffic
or on crowded country highway
He needs cool head, a clear eye
and a steady hand to protect not
alone his own life, but the lives Of
those who ride with him
The power of the influence Of pub
lie opinion is beginning to have
its affect because at least half of the
people ride in automobiles and they
are demanding that drivers of ma
chimes shall abstain from strong
drink.
The influence for sobriety will
grow with the development of the
automobile and it is already express
ing itself in more stringent laws to
punish drunken drivers. More and
more judges are sending TO Jail men
who are caught driving automobiles
while intoxicated.
Gasoline is undoubtedly going to
settle the prohibition question for all
time

TYPICALLY AMERICAN

The bitter winter of the Pill
grim's first year in America reduced
the number of colonists by almost
half. One hundred and one came
over on the Mayflower, but only SIS
remained to enjoy the summer, when
nature smiled on them.
The crops We're bountiful and their
hearts were filled with the spirit of
hope and thankfulness, To give
thanks to a kindly providence that
had rewarded their labor, the first
real harvest festival was held in
America in 1921 1t was instituted
by Governor Bradford. the first
governor of the Massachusetts,
colony.
Thus originated Thanksgiving Day
as we know it in America. 1t slowly
spread to the other colonies, and
since 1868, when President Lincoln
issued proclamation. calling on the
people to observe the day, his exam
Pile has been followed by each sue
ceeding president, the last Thursday
in November being chosen rs Thanks
giving day and observed as a holiday
throughout the union.
1t is typieally American, cele-
brated throughout the width and
breadth Of the land 1t breathes the
spirit of America and keeps alive
tradition that has been handed
down to us by those truly thankful
colonists who braved the perIs of
an UNEMPLOYED land that they might
be free to worship as they pleased
and work out their own destiny, un-
hindered by the whims of those who
believed themselves divinely ordained
to rule
Its significance may be lost to
some extent in the present genera
ton, but the church and the schools
have kept alive the fine sentiment
that it typifies and good Americans
will continue to teach their children
the true meaning of the holiday.
Ii is a time for counting our bless
ings, one by one. 1t is a season to
give thanks to a good Ruler who has
blessed us in larger measure than we
have deserved. Ii is q day for look
ing hopefully into the future and pre-
pairing to merit blessings that will
be the reward Of honest work and
right living

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER Is. 1924
cARELEssNEss or CAUTIoN

Highway fatalities are on the in
crease, according to the United
States census bureau. The increase
of three killed for each 100000 po-
pulation during the past year is due
TO 2.776 more fatalities from auto
mobile accidents.
But even the 16,452 deaths
charged against the automobile do
not tell the whole story, as deaths
resulting from collisions between
automobiles and trains and automo-
bilea and street cars are charged to
the heavier vehicle.
Train grade crossing accidents
cost the lives Of 2,268 persons last
year, it is estimated.
Indiana has realized the serious
ness Of the situation, and at safe
ty conference adopted set of prac-
teal suggestions that will be incor-
porated in the governors message to
the legislature.
The conference recommended
that a member Of the public service
i commission be designated as "com-
missioner Of Safety; that an advis-
DRY council Of seven members be
designated, representing the public
and industries, and that legislation
to rive the commission right to emf
nent domain within 800 feet of a
grade crossing to remove obstruc-
tons be enacted.
These suggestions are all very fine
and some of them are already being
used in other states, but no amount
of legislation is going to save the
lives of people at grade crossings
unless they themselves are con
cerned enough to be careful.
1t has been proposed, even, tha
automobile drivers be compelled t.
stop before crossing a railroad o.
interurban line, but no one has fount
feasible way TO compel its obser
vance.
In the last analysis, the terrible
loss Of life from this cause can b.
reduced only by the drivers of auto
mobiles themselves The fatalitie
WIN continue to mount, year by year
so long as carelessness, instead o
caution, rules in the mind Of tn
drivers

Treatment OF Gravel Road With
Tar Is A Success.

Madison-Treatment of gravel
roads with tar is now regarded as a
complete success by the state high
way department, the quarterly report
of the State Chief Engineer Arthur
Peabody showed today.
The method, which was expert
mented with in 1922 and 1923, con-
sists of a special mixing process by
which a covering about an inch and
half thick is built up over the en-
tire surface, according to Acting
State Highway Engineer J. T. Dom
aghey. Yearly application is avoid
ed. About 80 miles of road in Dane
county have been treated in this
fashion this year. Last year an ex-
pertinent with one mile of road be-
tween Madison and Sun Prairie was
apparently successful" and this
year highway officials tried the spe-
cial treatment on u miles of state
trunk highway No. IL between Mid
dleton and Sank City.

KNOCKING WISCONSIN YEAR
ROUND PASTIME
So Says Pearce Tomkins In an
Article Appearing in His Annual
Report to County Boards.

Pearce Tomkins, assessor of in
comes, in an article appearing in his
annual report to county boards Of
supervisors in his district, raps the
practice of slandering Wisconsin by
thOse who make taxation increases
the basis for their hue and cry.
The article, under the title,
Grand Old Badger State" is as
follows:
Knocking Wisconsin has devel-
oped into year round pastime. Or
CARNATIONS, associations and indi-
viduals generally classed as boost
ers, claiming local recognition for
their public spirit and interest in
the common good, WELD their ham,
mers fearlessly and announce that
taxes are higher in Wisconsin, have
increased more rapidly and are APP
parently more unfairly distributed.
The array of knocks is alarming.
The campaign will be over ere this
appears in print-the time win have
arrived when it will be the duty of
every citizen to aid those charged
with the institution of new and the
administration of the old laws. If
Wisconsin is to progress the ter
rible SANDER from the lips and press
Of its own must cease. We hear
people from adjoining states, Mimi
esota, Illinois and Michigan, taking
advantage of this opportunity to
knock Wisconsin-getting encour-
agement from its own citizens.
Business and those seeking
livelihood in this state have actions
in libel against its defamers. Our
own knocking has progressed to
such degree that the East in par
ticular is joining in the sport.
Wisconsin has much opportunity
for improvements have its SLAM
derers at home and abroad. Wis
consin is far ahead of other states of
the middlewest in an equitable and
fair distribution of taxes-yet our
system has little to brag about.
Wisconsin may shift the burden of
government in some districts upon
property where it does not belong
vet the "tax-fixer" of Illinois is
unknown. Wisconsin's general
property taxes may have increased
from twenty million in 1901 to nine
ty- tx million in 1921-yet in the
SAME period Minnesota's went from
Iif,een to one hundred seven mil
lion, and Michigan, with its boosted
encouragement of industry, from
twenty-three million to one hundred
fifty-eight million.
Study the percentages of increase
in general taxes for twenty years
and congratulate yourself on own
ing property and living in old Wis
consin.
