CRAZY DRIVING

In Boston paper the other day we ran across an item which tended to show why there are so many un- necessary killings along the public highways.
 It appears that the driver of . truck had killed another child-we say another" because his record was three killings all told. In each case the courts had discharged him from responsibility. Maybe every juror owned an automobile and sympathixed with him; or maybe it was just one of those cases where . man could mangle and cause three persons to die and really be an in- necent party to the slaughter.
 The motor vehicle commissioner. however, was not 50 easily satisfied. Truth to tell. he grew real angry about 1t. There being nothing else he could do, he teQk the drivers li- cense from him, sayins he was con- vinced that this particular motorist was an unfit man to drive either . passenger car or . truck.
 It Is natural to commend the con- missioner for his definite action. That's one way to save lives.
 But there was another accident in Revere this week. one that received considerable public attention: and one telt illustrates another point worth considering if we are ever to progress 10 tho point whers the roads are to be made safe for sanity.
 Five youths lost their lives in Re- we're when the car in which they were riding" crashed. spun and hurdled ''as the result of appalling recklessness and carelessness."
 The youth who drove the car had three times applied for . license to operate. snd upon each occasion his wish was denied because the in- spectors found him incompetent.
 The boy, however, realizing that the motor vehicle department could not keep tab on every car on the highways. took to driving neverthe- less. He had no trouble in obtaining a car for his experiments. He simply borrowed one from his parents with their consent. Indeed. the registrar of motor vehicles severely condemn. ed the parents Of the young man for loaning him the car: but this was after it was too late. and five lives had been lost.
 In such cases. Of course. the par ents are morally responsible. A per- son who has no license to drive ia an outlaw on the highways. Many parents are allowing their offspring entirely too much freedo. with automobiles ! There is one thing about the Re- were tragedy that was fort unate: The five killed were in the car operated by the crazy young driver. not in- nocents in some other car happen
 ing to meet them on a curve.

A minister in Andrew Carnegie's . old home town of Dunfermline felt called upon to remonstrate with one of his flock who occasionally got drunk and had to be taken home on a wheel l-barrow. The ''drouth" re- sented the interference of his spirit ual adviser and was inclined to ar- sue the point with him.

 In this city. as in most other in- dustrial cities, the lot of the unskill- ed laborer has been particularly hard the past year or 70. The mayor long ago became siarmed at the situation. and 1t is to his credit that he sympathixed with the troubles of this class Of the city's residents. During 1893 there was . building decline almost everywhere; and aa usual, the first to feel the Ibrunt were the unakilled laborers.

 Men who are prepared to work and cannot find work, and their families, cannot be allowed to starve. Great Britain found this out oh an extensive scale years ago when the dole law went into effect. We have no dole law. but civil main tenance of the unemployed amounts to the same thing in the long run. John L. Doyle. superintendent oi charity, has been heard from in nc

NOW CALM
AFTER RIOTS KILL !
May Day Clash With Police
Fatal to Communists.
Other Outbreaks.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, May 2.-Clashes between
police and Communists in yesterdays
riotous May day celebration in Berlin
resulted in heavy casualties, seven
Communists being killed. and 30 civil
lians and 80 policemen injured.
The casualties were probably greater
as the figures given out by the police
today did not include many Commu-
nists who were taken to their homes
by comrades after being injured in the
fighting.
In all there were 900 arrests of whom
725 were released after an examina-
ton and their names registered
After fairly quiet day during which
the police had kept the demonstrations
well in hand, serious rioting took place
last night in the working class quarter
in Northern Berlin. Barbados were
erected by the Communists and the
police were held of with rife and pistol
fire until armored cars forced the
distractions and enabled the authori-
ties to clear out the surrounding
houses.
OF the ITS persons still held by the
police today, most of them will be
charged with rioting and violating the
public peace. In addition, many of
those detained over night, who were
released this morning are liable to be
rearrested If police investigation should
warrant q
Today the city was quiet and trafiic
was normal. There were no clashes or
casualties reported anywhere.

MEXICO CITY. May Ao).-Presi-
dent Portes Gil in a public statement
last night said that he did not con-
slider that the Roman Catholic Church,
as an institution. was responsible in
any wav for the military revolution that
has just collapsed, He added that
some servants of the church" in
JaliSco, Michoacan and Guanajuato.
forgetting their Christian morals, had
committed acts of banditry under the
preteX Of defending the doctrines of
their church.
But contrasted with this attitude,
are other worthy representatives of
Catholicism who counsel respect for
law and authority" he said
The president declared the govern
ment's attitude on the religious queS-
ton remained unchanged.
The president thought that military
revolutions would be less likely in the
future because the celebrity with which
this years uprising had been crushed,
would discourage repetition of such
abortive attempts. For this reason he
considered that the cost of $1,000, 900
was worth while.

members of our organizations are not
drinkers. From the inception Of the
organizations which We represent they
