STRONG AT THE START

Judge Morris D. SAKE presiding
over the city court, got off to a
good start when he gave all listen
ers. and the city through the news
papers, his idea of what constituted
reckless automobile driving, We
rather think from what he said
that the judge does not sympathize
with speed artists.
In a day when some folk seem
utterly unable to take automobile
driving seriously 1t is agreeable to
find a Judge at the beginning of his
term in a city court, taking de-
cided stand against sapheaded driv-
ing.
Driving an automobile IN Itself
is difficult operation, note his
comment-'and when you add the
element of recklessness 1t becomes a
very serious matter"
How serious it can be was evil
denced from the states Independ-
ence day fatality rcord. Half the IA
talities were due to automobiles, and
none were due to fireworks.
In New Jersey an entire family
a mother and seven children-were
wiped out when the autom obile was
driven past crossing tender and
was stopped on the railroad tracks.
In the west a similar accident
was practically duplicated.
At Walpole, Mass, woman drove
car into a main highway and an
oncoming bus. in order to avoid a
headon collision. was guided into a
tree; result, 26 hurt.
The judge has the right idea when
he concludes nobody is a friend to
a reckless driver. The public high
ways must be made safe, The
judges can do a great deal towacd
this desired end.

AMERICAN TRUMP CARDS
At NAVAL FARLEY

The compromise offered by the
United States at Geneva closely fol-
lows a report that Great Britain is
willing to abandon its previous plan
to demand 100000 cruiser tons. The
compromise reported, however, goes
further toward meeting British wish
es for a high cruiser total than was
deemed likely when the Naval
Limitations Conference opened At
that time we did not expect to go
beyond a maximum of 100000 tons;
now 100000 are mentioned. This
total, if ii evcntuates, should be
sufficient 10 protect" the interests
of Great Britain on the high seas.
AS for ourselves, there can be no
doubt about it. We do not require
as large a cruiser fleet as this and
if the decision comes for parity at
this figure We will be constructing
more ships than we desire. The
American nation cannot consider
anything less than parity, regardless
of the total for parity purposes de-
cided upon.
The trump card of Hugh S. Glib
son. the American delegate. is that
If there is to be cruiser competition
between the Big Three the United
States can and will out-build any
competitor and is In a mood to dc

The rush for the trolley cara

its extras and the stores chalked up
new sales records for the day. :
When the people get something

they are out in force to take advan-

is a huge success because the people
get a free show, although plenty
of parades have taken place which
