lives of scores during a wild chase about the city.
 Now t would seem." remarks the Press, that here was an oppor- tunity to administer lesson to oth- CTS, for punitive action must be as important as deterrent as it is punishment for breaking the law. . . Indeed, when the summary of violation comes under consideration this youth who, by his own admis- sion simply cannot go straight ought to have had state prison punishment, then to be turned over to Massachusetts to be dealt with. . Perhaps the officials consid- cred the course pursued the wiser. that of getting rid as quickly as pos sible Of q reckless youth. Yet the re- suit of their action surely will not impress others around here not in clned to go straight And there are such, as recent doings indicate"
 Which, it might be added, is stat ing it mildly. The Middletown offi- cials who gave this dangerous youth a free trip back to the port of Wrongdoing need not he surprised if the Massachusetts authorities, were they as eager to get rid of hi1h rath- CT than go to the trouble and eX- pense of punishing him, also gave him free ticket to go elsewhere.
 It isn't a courts business to mere. ly try to get rid" of such a wrong doer. It is the courts business to punish. and thus deter others from wrongdoing. That is why we have criminal courts and that is why their officials arc paid. The kind of court business transacted in this case in MiddletoWn marks the officials as having not earned their cost to the city.
 While on the subject the Press adds the following worthy comment on the most widespread aiimcnt of the times:
 Automobile lawlessness by the few is constant menace 10 thousands. Wild rides are noted. Unwarranted cnpp1 at frequently seen. Suddenly something goes wrong and a human life is snuffed cut. True. there is no in tent That. however. has nothing to do with the manslaughter act. In tent becomes apparent when a driv- CT takes the chance.
 If happened that Detroit suffered severely from automobile fatalities and he attending mercy of officials Suddenly one judge decided that SC verify must be applied. He did so and the reduction of accident was marked.
 Just so long as this tenderness continues for those who violate the wisely restrictive laws. just so surely | will somebody else take the chance. l No doubt there ere accidents result 1 ing fatally that are the work Of 7 chance. But when case comes snuarely before the officials involv- ] ing a complete disregard of all law, ! then is the time to make the pun i ishmcnt fit the crime and teach a 1 lesson as sentence is imposed.

NO SET-UP FOR

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. os.-W.D
There was just one question that
Northern California football fans are
asking themselves today. after the
outcome of the Stanford Univers.
ity of Southern California and Cali
fornia Olympic club games Sat
urday, and that was, "what are Cal
ifornia's chances of taking the mea-
sure of the Trojans at Los Angeles
this week."
At first glance it would appear
that the L. S. {. eleven is in an al
most impregnable position after its
: to 0 victory over the Cardinals.
But at second thought, California
is conceded fighting chance to
come out on top. The fighting Bears
took on the powerful Olympic club
with their second string after a tire
some trip from Philadelphia, and
beat the elubmen 81 to 10. Stanford,
earlier in the season. defeated the
Olympics to 0.
"Nibs" Price, California's coach,
with most of the Bears first string
men, saw the Stanford game, and
had fine opportunity to follow Cal
ifornia for the past three weeks.
California has always been q "see-
end half team" They have strength,
and have probably better defense
than Stanford. If the second string
could beat the Olympic club, there
is every chance that the first string
can give L. s. c. very interesting
time of it Saturday.
California and L. s. c. are the
in a non-conference game with St.
cnly undefeated teams in the con
ference although California was tied

Conceding California chance Of
victory does not, however, detraet
from the L. s. C. victory over Stan
ford. In that game the Troians
showed themselves to be marvel.
