could we'll dispense with a considerable
number of this guild most notoriously
distinguished for delinquencies in care
and vigilence, for pre-eminent audacity
and astounding absence of any driving
competency.
A day hardly ever goes by without its
chronicle Of accident, in which always
appears the ubiquitous taxi-chariot,
though in the large majority OF these
collisions and other episodes, the chauf-
feur vehemently disclaims any fault.
Technically, sometimes, this may be
true, for every accident is the result OF
too much speed, while this same veloci-
ty, in a vacant thoroughfare, would per-
hapS be productive of no harm.
But on crowded streets, speed Is the
principal ingredient Of wrecks and
casualties, and the principal danger to
all traffic. Conductors of these vehicles
make no distinction between their rate
Of travel in the comparatively deserted
streets Of the suburbs and that in the
congested portions of the central city.
1t makes one shudder with horror to
see some Of these vehicles pass along
our avenues. and many prayer has
been fervently whispered on such occa-
sions, not only for the other convey
ances and people imperiled, but for the
actual passengers, whose temerity has
exposed them to these needless jeop-
ardieS.
The activity of the traffic police has
to some extent corrected the worst eX
hibitions Of such. ruthless indifference,
and a number of speeders are now
rejecting upon their disgraceful per-
formances in very stationary quarters.
If the rest do not take warning from
the fate of their confreres, they should
be locked up. too. before more innocent
people suffer, not few scratches, but
probably something infinitely worse!

Psychology and Jim.
(New York World Telegram. )

tNeW IOrK WOrlu-IelegramD The of the Fergusons of Texas-Ma anc Jim-shows the futility of the principle of Prohibi ton. We are not speaking of liquor We art speaking of the prohibition clamped own upon Jin Ferguson in the removal proceedings of 1917 The decree of the Texas Senate was that Jim Ferguson could never seek public office again. One conse- quence has been that the majority of the Texas voters have elected and twice nominated Jim by proxy. Very many among this majority must have voted for Mrs Ferguson out of sense of the injustice in decree which would rob mar of the fruits of possible self-redemption and the people of the right to say whom they do or dc not want for Governor, be he an ex-grafter ol what.
 i Another consequence of the ban on Jim as an officeholder was-or it seems-an exaggeration oi his natural lenency toward prisoners of men held in duress by the law Chafing at the straitjacket himself, Jim Ferguson during his wife's term as Governor helped execute a general jail delivery And each time he and his wife turned man loose whether any profited not, Jim possibly felt | a vicarious of personal release from the throngs of the State decree in his case
 The pious zeal of the law to transmit it's power too far in the of James E. Ferguson has helped to defeat itself.
 This of course, does not take into account the great pull which James E. Ferguson has upon the tenant farmers and many other people in Texas This year. with resentful power rising up stu pendously out of the shops, the grass roots and from the creek forks Jim's bacon and bread ap- proach twce-heeled and invncibe. The Texas Weekly sagely observes "As to preserving the fair name of this Sttae from another Ferguson Admin stration, if a majority of the people favor such an Administration don't how it be helped"
 Might try next time putting Jim's personal running gear back on him. Yet some other cuckoo impulse of psychology might then operate in his favor.

California as Ordeal.
(New York Times.)


 California lives up to the precedent for earthly paradises by harboring serpent within its lovely precincts. The name of the snake is Local Politics, and it lures to destruction Presidential candidates who go to California and immediately proceed to make break" and throw away the Presidency. From the Democratic side there went up a deep sigh of relief, and from the Republican groan of disappointment accompanied by certain amount of teeth-gnashing when Governor Roosevelt crossed the California line outward bound without throw ing away the prize which many believe to be within his grasp
 See Naples and die. See California and ruin your chances for the White House Assuming that popu- lar opinion is right and that in California in 1916 MT. Hughes threw away the Presidency by emitting to be nice to Senator Johnson, it obviously need not mean that California is the only State in the Union where such fatal accidents can happen. There is just as good reason why the National Chairmen on both sides should hold their breath. in hopeful expectation and the other in agony of sus- pense. while Presidential candidate is touring New York State For it was in New York City that James G. Blaine threw away the Presidency ln l0S4 by permitting Dr. Buchard to make little epigram about Rum, Romansm and Rebellion The phrase is supposed to have cost Blaine many times the ll49 votes by which he lost New York to Grover Cleveland.

We have checked and re-checked these poll figures made adjustments State by State to eliminate inherent bias that prevails in certain types of polls and done what is technically called 'wieghting' the percentage to States, and even to sections of States.
 So when I say that Governor Roosevelt is going to sweep the Nation, it is not an idle gesture, but an opinion based on care- ful survey of most thorough samphng of public opinion.
 straw ballot in a single locality doesn't mean much, but when over a million such straws have been tossed into the air, it doesn't take blind man to see that there is a wind blowing It's going to be such a staggering whirlwind of ballots in Novem- Der for Governor Roosevelt that even our Democratic headquarters are going to be surprised Many political commentators and students fear to speak out their convictions about what is going to happen on Novem- Der and for fear they will be laughed at
 There is a grim, underlying purpose in this great American voting populace, and it is going to be evidenced on election day in no uncertain fashion.
 l will be surprised if the Roosevelt Garner ticket does not register majority of 10,000,000 votes; that is what said after LIlt NddlIc ticCIlOli dIlO lIldC Is WIldL l repeat now And further, if we do not get a million majority in at least one individual State, I am going to be disap- pointed. And naturally we are going to get a majority of the popular vote in every section of the country-in New England, too
 The Pacific Coast alone should give Gov ernor Roosevelt over a million majority. Then in the Mountain States we should make the aoht Ctata from Montana down to the Mexican border Because of their limited population, ma jority here of 300.000 for Governor Roosevelt will be in keeping with the trend, for it will mean the reversal of 100000 Hoover majority to a 300000 Democratic victory that's something.
 In the farm belt group. we can't see how we can miss getting majority of at least 100000 votes. One State should give us a half million majority, and two should register 100000 Democratic majorities. And then in the lake group of States, Michigan Indiana Illinois and Ohio, the Roosevelt Garner ticket should wind up the night of November eighth with clean majority of between 2,300,000 and 2,500,000 votes. Every State will be carried, and I don't expect less than 100000 from any one State.
 The border States of Missouri Oklahoma, Maryland, Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia are safely Democratic The South ern States should give a majority of 100000 popular votes as clean as a whistle. The Eastern seaboard States will register such a huge Democratic majority that in New England we'll need less than 100000 majority from all six States to bring the Democratic majofities well over the le.ooo.- 900 mark
 There are only about thirty days of ef- fective campaigning left but our loyal Demo- cratic workers are geared to fighting

ROOSEVELT WILL SWEEP THE
 NATION."

With the election less than a month away the betting odds and the Presidential polls clearly point to the almost certain election of Gov. Roosevelt to the Presidency It generally conceded that 1t IS becoming too late for break in the trend of public sentiment Some indication of an approaching change would be in evidence if it were on the way. Instead of that events that have taken place dur ing and since the Presidential polls have strength ened Gov Roosevelts position. It is admitted that he completed his Western tour without stubbing his toe. and the New York State and New York City conventions have added to the Governors popularity Under the circumstances the following state- ment issued by Democratic National Chairman James A. Farley which was based on the research of experts and was submitted to and approved by other experts that have connection with the Democatic organization, is interesting:
 We have tabulated over million straw
 ballots at Democratic headquarters, covering
 every State of the Union, and on careful
 study and analysis of these polls how and
 where they taken, l reterate what
 have always maintained since the cam
 paign started: We do not concede single
 State to the opposition
 Our tabulation of some 387 different
 polls taken by newspapers, magazines, volun-
 teers, radio stations on trains, ships and airplanes shows a total of Il 021 sos straw
 votes cast This is how they divide:
