ity. 1t is something that cannot
be wiped out or compensated for.
The brunt of the responsibility
rests on individual drivers and in
dividual pedestrians. The constf-
tuted authorities in each commun-
ity can prescribe rules and regula
tions for the guidance of driver
and pedestrian, and they can PEN
alize those who disregard the laws
of traffic, but it is not in their pow
er to control human minds and in
sure the caution each person
should exercise for his own safety
of others.
There are many accidents, fatal
and otherwise, for whom nobody
can be held reprehensibly respon-
sible, but when this. is conceded it
remains that there is a tremend-
Gus lot of inexcusably careless and
reckless driving and walking. Any
resident of city or country sees it
every day.

"A vast air of contentment
beathes over the corn belt of III
inois," says Arthur Evans, who is
making his annual tour of observa-
ton in the agricultural west for
the Chicago Tribune. Better news
could not come to Chicago or to
the country at this time, if. as we
believe. it covers pretty much the
agricultural situation of the middle
west. Even the shortage of wheat
and small grains does not take the
edge off the corn report for prices

But for us corn is king. A bump

BRAINS AND PLUCK

Thirty five years ago, the world S
most famous automobile manufac
turer was working in a bicycle
shop; millionaire hotel owner
was hopping bells; Americas steel
king was stocking a blast furnace;
an international banker was firing
a locomotive; a great merchant
was carrying a pack on his back /;
a great railroad president was
pounding a telegraph key.
Today, ninety per cent of the
biggest Jobs in America are filled
by first generation leaders. Is
there not encouragement in this for
the millions of earnest, diligent,
ambitious American workers who
are studying, striving, sweating to
reach the top? Does it not mean
that brains, not birth. not money,
win?
Who, of the thousands of young
men who cast their first votes this
year, will be the leaders in 1850?

IMMIGRANTS SEND BACK
MILLIONS TO EUROPE

Immigrants in the United States
are still sending back millions an
nually to their relatives and friends
in Europe and Asia. 1t is estimated
that 100000, 900 has been sent out
OF the country in this manner
during the past year, and this ex-
port of Immigrant money forms one
of the considerable items in the
annual import and export balance.
Estimates of the department
showed that during 1924 immi-
grants RENTED $1O0,O00,0OG to
Italy; $SO0OO,OOO to Germany;
$50, 100000 to Poland; $4,000 to
Russia and $20,OOO,OO0 each to
CIR zee and Ireland. These large
Iremittances of American money
serve greatly to reduce the favor
able trade balance of the United
States, the department said, which
on actual imports and exports of
merchandise during 1924 showed a
balance of sS7O,0OO,O00 in favor of
this country.
Remittances during 1924 totaled
$3.50, 100000. but during the same
period arriving immigrants were
estimated to have brought $4,000
900 of their own money into the
country.
Although remittances increased
during 1924 it is expected that the
new immigration law will gradual
ly cut down the rate of increase
in the future, owing to the diff

Motor Car Fatalities

The death list of motor car &C
cidents continues large and dis
turbing, but there appears to be
some reason for encouragement of
a belief that the safety first con-
sciousneess is sharpening.
The federal department of COM
merce reports that in the 81 cities
with an aggregate population of
100000 there were 2,511 fatal
tiles from January / to July IS,
1926, as compared with 2,438 fat
alities in the corresponding period
two years earlier. It is reason
able to suppose that if there had
not been somewhat more careful
driving as a whole, the margin be-
tween the fatalities of these two
periods would have been wider.
The reason for so saying is that in
the two years the larger cities
have become more congested with
both pedestrians and drivers.
However, the improvement, if
any, is far from satisfactory. Of
the AZ cities with population of oy
er 100000 included in the survey,
SO reported an increase of fatal
tiles for the four-week period end
ing July IS, compared with the re-
cords of the corresponding per-
iod in 1924.
When all is said about compare
tive figures, the big fact from
which attention should not be di-
verified is the 2,511 deaths referred
to. It is mighty small comfort to
relatives of motor car victims to
knw that in Al cities or 100000 or
more population there were few
er fatalities thus far in 1926 than
there were in the same time in
1924. A fatality remains a fatal.

THE CRIMINAL. RING

An investigating committee head
ed by former Attorney General
Wickersham finds that American
penal institutions are handling the
same material over a over again.
locking up and turning out the
same individuals. Also that three
fourths of those individuals are
plainly recognizable cases of alb
normal and defective minds.
Most of the prisoners are not
helped at all by the present sys-
tenn of imprisoning their bodies and
ignoring their minds, and while they
remain as they are, can hardly
help committing further offenses
when they are released. Their
crimes and misdemeanors are most
ly offenses of stupidity and mental
sickness.
There has been little lsympa
thy these last few years with any
view which regarded our criminal
classes" as sick rather than wick
ed. Efforts to turn public attention
to their minds rather than their
crimes are likely to be criticized as
efforts to "coddle criminals" Yet
evidences submitted by such an
eminent body of inquirers as the
committee referred to cannot be
ignored.
The New York World wonders,
accordingly, whether it isn't time
to- get our minds off crime" and
turn our attention to the criminal
and adds: eff most crime is trace
able to pathological impulses, then
applying retributive punishment is
as sensible as flogging lunatics to

which it is going. / think that
a shorter stroke on the uphill

longer stroke on the downhill,

hit that gets the ball away
