HIT AND RUN BEASTS

What a peculiarly revolving beast
/ is this hit-and-run killer who is be-
coming more and numerous as auto
mobiles increased! For some strange
and hitherto undiscovered reason, he
seems rather to prefer women and
children for his victims Either
drunkenly or recklessly or viciously,
or all three, he puts on speed, crash
es into another automobile or into
group of pedestrians or dashes his
car into and upon and often over one
person. And then, with the blatant
and hideous cowardice of his kind,
he rushes away.
Most members of the lowest I'M
derworld type hasten to the rescue
and succor of the injured, unless the
injured is a victim of their intention
al assault. Not so with the hit-and-
run killeri He is afraid. Rather
than run the risk of being held re-
sponsible for negligence. for some
amount of recoverable damages, or
even charged as a misdmeanor, this
newest species of the lower form of
life runs away. In countless cases,
he knows-if he has any brain at
all-that quick surgical attention is
necessary to the preservation of the
life or lives he has endangered, and
he knows that he should be the first
person on earth to procure such at
tention. Does he make an effort to
procure it, or to speed the injured
to safety? Not he. That is not the
habit of the hit-and-run beast.
If he has anything to think with,
he thinks: Let 'em die. What I've
got to do is to take care of myself. :"
So he puts on more speed and yet
more in the effort to save his sinking
self and his foul purse and his muir
derous automobile. If he has moth
ing to think with, his beast instinct
tells him to run away from the
wrong he has done Probably he
laughs about it, after safety has be-
come certain, as a hyena laughs in
the dark places where men cannot
reach him
There are laws and ordinances re-
quiring a person who is willing or
unwilling participant in an accident
by which any other person or any
property may be injured to stop and
return and render such assistance as
possible. But laws and ordinances.

they mean nothing to the hit-and-run
killers. Only fear restraints man.

footed. Put the fear of man into

THE QUAIL LAW

The recent action of the Board of
Supervisors, limiting the hunting
season for quail to the month of De-
cember is not quite clear. 1t GER
tainly could not have been on ac-
count of the scarcity of birds, for it
is admitted by all the game conserva-
tionists in the State that quail are
more plentiful this year than they
have been for long time. What
ever the reason for changing the law,
it has brought about lot of criti-
cism from the sportsmen in the coun-
ty and. they feel that they have not
been treated exactly fair about the
matter, in that they were not con-
sldered at all, in the action, and yet
are paying, through hunting licenses
and dog taxes, the salaries of the
game wardens, the bounty on all de-
structiye vermin and all the expenses
OF game propagation and distribution
in Virginia.
1t is understood that a petition.
signed by one hundred landowners
was presented to the board. asking
Tor the change in the law, but even
this, does not justify the action TAX
en-, for it must be remembered that
If the landowners do not wish hunt
ing, that they have the privilege of
posting their land and prohibiting
hunting at any time during the year.
In the first place, If the idea was
to cut down the length of the season.
it would have been far more reason
able to have taken the fifteen DAYS
on the latter part rather than the
first, for hunting this late in the year
is an uncertain proposition. Deem
Der is usually a month of snow, and
the present State law forbids the
killing of quail while snow is on the
ground. In case of snow the sports
men would not have an opportunity
to hunt at all, which of course would
not be, fair to them. Another thing
il is very foolish to separate the bird
and rabbit season with the expecta-
ton Of doing any real good; 1t just
simply means that the now-respected
quail law. is going to be broken re-
peatedly and the pot hunters and
law violators, under the guise of rab-
bit hunting, will be given an advan-
tage over the law-abiding sportsman.
II it has become a necessity for con-
servation purposes, to shorten the
season. it would be much better to
make the law uniform in regard to

SUMMERS GONE

Old summer time has passed away,
That gentle season of the year
When honest men plant oats and
hay,
With dreams of ice-cold lager beer.
When lovers sit beneath the moon
That wise old hunk of pale green
cheese
To hold each others hands and
spoon
Until the night air makes them
sneeze.
When you can take your spades and
hoes,
And dig up yards of garden dirt,
While perspire drips from off your
nose
And saturates your toil-worn shirt.
When birds chirp in the leafy boughs
And housefiies buzz their lazy
tune;
When mud holes cool both pigs and
And transforms are welcome
boon.
When full yarn socks and such as
these
Are cast aside for thinner hose,
And all you wear is B. V. DIS
And good old lightweight Palm
Beach clothes.
When swimming pools along the
creek
Invite you to needed bath
And sunburn blisters nose and cheek
Producing pain and righteous
wrath.
When 'skeeter bugs come singing by
And pause to give an itching kiss
Oh Geei Oh GOSH it makes me sigf
To think of all this waning bliss
Cold winter time may be all right,
1t may suit Eskimos and seals,
But give me summer, day and night
So I may romp Ger verdant fields

IS IT WORTH WHILE?

Does it sometimes seem to you that
the human race is bunch of NUTS
who are not worth saving?
Well, that is near-sighted view
of things. You do not feel that way
except when you are disgusted with
somebody's littleness. Not unless
you are pessimist by nature.
The difference between a pessimist
and an opitimist is difference of
length and breadth of view.
A pessimist is microscope. An
optimist is telescope.
A pessimist can see only the little
things that are near by.
An optimist can see the great
things that are far off.
1t is matter of relative vision.
Pessismism is matter of relative
vision
Pessismism is natural to a person
who confines himself to looking at
what now is. He sees that many
men are selfish, ignorant, narrow
minded, prejudiced, intolerant, anti
social and immoral. And he straight
way leaps to the conclusion that the
human race is a fizzle, and that it is
not worth while to try to help it up
ward
This is the result of microscopic
vision
Optimism is equally natural to a
person who looks at the distant fu-
ture--and past-as we'll as the pres
ent. He sees that men have come a
long way upward in the past-and
that this almost proves that they are
to make vast upward climb in the
future. And he finds it very much
worth while to work and to sacrifice
in order to help them upward.
All truly great men have been op-
timists.
Pessimism is a blight 1t is sui
cidal. 1t destroys hope. Nothing

impending our path, carry on. We
would be undeserving of the liberties
established by those who, in countless
thousand, laid down their lives on
battlefields where tyranny was over
come, if we did not hold the torch of
human liberty higher than ever be-
fore, and continue with added deter
mination our effort to educate the
wage earners in America, so that
through their trade union organiza-
tions they not only will fully protect
their freedom, and their right Of
equality to all other citizens, but in
addition press forward and secure a
much larger measure of justice and
of opportunity.
There is nothing of greater impor-
tance at the present time than the
sturdy defense of those priceless
guarantees of liberty, which can only
be maintained by protecting the right
to voluntary association.

RETURNED WITH INTEREST

A boy left the farm and got job
in the city. He wrote letter to his
brother, who elected to stick to the
farm, telling the joys of city life, in
which he said: Thursday we auto'd
out to the Country Club where we
golfed until dark Then we motored
to the beach for the weekend"
The brother on the farm wrote
back:
Yesterday we buggied to town and
baseballed all the afternoon. Then
we went to Ned's, pokered until morn
ing. Today we muled out to the corn
field and gehawed until sundown.
Then we suppered and then we piped
for while. After that we staircased
up to our room and bedsteaded until
the clock fved."

organize. In spite of punishment and
imprisonment; in spite Of the ridicule
heaped upon them by those who pro-
fessed to understand the laws of eco
nomics, labor not only continued to
insist upon it's rights, but to strike,
and strike in large numbers, to en-
force them. And trade unions, the
members of which were all law break
ers, because the law of the land made
it crime for a man to be a trade
unionist, continued to carry on their
struggle until public opinion had been
so thoroughly awakened and educated
that laws were finally enacted which
established the right to voluntary as
sociation, so effectively that for many
years the right to trade union organ
ization has not been successfully
questioned in Great Britain
We will maintain our right to vol
untary association! We will, in spite
Of all of the powerful obstacles now

Nothing More Vital Than Protection
Of Right to Voluntary Association
By JOHN p. FREY
Editor, International MOlders' Journal

Labor did not win a measure of
freedom; did not win the right to
organize because some law upon the
statute book gave them this, right,
or because some court handed down
a favorable decision. Labor's right
to trade-union organization was won
in spite of the law and the courts
and in the face of their active oppo-
sition, In England, where modern
trade unionism had it's birth, the
law of the land made it criminal
conspiracy, punishable by fine, mutt
lation and Imprisonment, for two or
more men to combine together for
the purpose of securing higher wages
and other improved terms of employ
ment.
The lowest and the highest courts
of the land vigorously applied this
law when cases were brought before
them, but in spite of the law and the
courts, labor in England continued to

WHAT THE WORKERS
WANT
By FRED HEWITT
Editor Machinists' Monthly Journal


The workers want employment.
Then the worker wants steady en-
ployment He wants to bring about a
condition whereby he will feel that
each days work may not be his last.
He wants to work not more than "a
hours per week.
He wants the highest rate of pay
possible, or to put it another way, he
wants his full share of the wealth he
helps to produce. He wants to be en-
ployed in surroundings as comfort
able as the nature of his employment
will permit.
He wants sanitary workshops.
He wants protection against unnec-
essary risk.
He wants to organize with his fell
lows and to negotiate with his en-
ployer through Representatives of his
own choosing.
He wants compensation laws passed
for his and his family's protection
He wants to enjoy that full measure
of freedom guaranteed all citizens of
free country. He wants the right
to live and let live.
These are few things the workers
want, and which they seek to attain
through the trade union movement.
So far, partial success has crowned
their efforts, but a realization Of their
desires will only come when they join
in common cause. Then, and then
only, will the workers obtain those
things they want, and to which they
are entitled.
