THE DRUNKEN DRIVER

While approaching the courteous mo-
tive which prompted the appeal of +.
Raymond Cato, chief of the California
Highway Patrol, asking motorists not to
drive their cars after imbibing intoXlcat-
ing liquor. we are afraid that the chief
is going to be doomed to disappointment.
His appeal is quite likely to fall upon
deaf ears.
1t is too bad that this is so. The chief
has consistently harped upon courtesy to
the motoring public as one of the cardi-
nal principles for his men to follow, but
the drunken driver is one party to whom
courtesy cannot be shown He can't ap-
preciate 1t.
Since the repeal of prohibition there
has been an alarming increase in drunk
en- driving throughout the state, and It is
a condition which has to be met with
good deal of what is termed hard
boiled" handling, if it is to be halted by
any apprcciabe degree.
By that Is not meant man-handllng.
1t does mean that the traffic officers
have got to start making arrests Tor
drunken driving and more important
than this, the courts have got to start
backing up the officers.
All of US are familiar with the usual
procedure when an arrest Is made Tor
drunken driving. Friends Of the arrest
ed man get busy and seek to have the
charges reduced to reckless driving or
some lesser charge, and appear IN court
to vouch for the drivers general good
character, with the result that he Is let
go with a nominal fine.
The solicitude of such friends can De
understood. and perhaps appreciated, pul
if is a vicious practice that does lmmeas-
urable harm in the long run When one
such offender gets off lightly, 1t Is en-
couragement for others to receive tne
same sort of treatment. The result Is
that nobody is really punished and no
progress is made toward diminishing
the offense. -.
Back of the efforts of the traffic ottl-
GERS and the courts in enforcing the law
there must be public sentiment. Until
the general public can be made to see
that decisive steps must be taken against
the drunken driver, and it is willing to
back up the law officers and the courts,
the efforts of the latter to curb the evil
can be of little real worth.
Many people voted for repeal OF the
18th amendment not only because they
considered it an infringement upon per
sonal rights. but also because they We're
assured by repealists that the nation had
learned its lesson and would not abuse
the right to have alcoholic liquor. ne
increasing number of drunken driving
cases indicates that this theory has not
been borne out The drunken driver Is
going to change the sentiment, unless ne
is curbed. and many who favored repeal
are going to swing the other way.
The drunken driver cannot be tolerat-

bleated Billie Wagtail, goat.
The children scattered through
the woods to gather sticks and the
branches for Uncle Wiggily to make
the fires which. would boil the sap
that already was dripping from the
tapped trees. .
You remember how the rabbit
gentleman wanted maple sugar and
syrup for his pancakes, and when
there was none left in his hollow
stump bungalow he decided to go
TO the woods and make sure for
himself. So he built sugar camp
in the forest with little houses OF
barks, where lie and the animal
children could stay for about a
week.
With Uncle Wiggily in the sugar
camp was Chippy, cute little
chipmunk boy and also the Police
Dog. For the Bob Cat mad said he
was coming % the camp for some
thing to eat, and Mr.. Longaer5
didn't want the Bad Chap to eat

didn't want lis own rabbit ears

1t was a bright, sunny day and
there was q little snow on the
ground as there often is in March.
Tnis is the time when the sap or
sweet juice begins to run in the
maple trees an din otter trees also.
But it is only certain maple trees
that have sap sweet enough to boil
down into thick brown syrup, out
of which maple sugar is made.
To get the zap out Of the trees

in an alley between Orange and

The men were unable to give

THANKS, Mr.. WARDEN

A rising vote of thanks from a long
suffering public, is due Warden Frank
D. Whipp, of the Illinois state peniten-
tiary at Joliet.
Whipp has in custody two precious
murdererS who long since should have
been hanged, but who, through the skill
of Clarence Darrow. have been permit
ted to live for the last decade at the eX-
penSe of the state.
The world remembers Richard Loeb
and Nathan Leopold as the perpetrators
of a particularly revolving and terrible
murder of a small Schoolboy. Thanks to
the wealth of their parents, which en-
abled them TO have the highest paid coun-
sci in the country, the pair escaped with
life Imprisonment, when by all the rules
of justice they should have been hanged.
Since they became inmates of the pris-
on Loeb and Leopold have been heard Of
from time to time, but in the main they
have sunk into the realm of the forgot
ten.
1t is now revealed that they proposed
to cOllabOrate on a book of criminology
based on their own experiences without
and within the prison walls. The book
Of course, would be offered to the public
and undoubtedly at a price that would
enable the authors and anyone low
enough to publish it, to make good pro-
fit
This is where Warden Whipp stepped
into the picture. He put his foot down
on the proposed scheme, thereby protect
ing American literature from a new
chapter in deprayity.
Warden Whipp, in fact, is to be doubly
commended for his stand in a day when
police and prison officials too often are
swayed by the false glamor which sur
rounds the notorious criminal, and in
which their captors and guardians like
to bask.
About the only desirable literature
that Loeb and Leopold can add to the
present collection, comes under the
heading Of obituaries.

WARBURG VIEWS
AROUSE INTEREST
Wall Street Wonders Whether
1t Has Found Spokes-
man at Last.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor,

NEW YORK. January 27.-Wall
wonders whether at last it has found
spokesman.
The several public utterances Of
James P. Warburg in recent weeks have
broken the stiffness.
Few leading bankers In Wall Street
in the last few years have been given
to frequent public statements, but the
almost unbroken quiet of several months
had been unnatural. Reticence, in fact.
turned to silence. as the gold standard
fell by the wayside and Washington
delved ruthlessly into the banking
practices of the boom era.
1t was in November that Warburg, in
an address in Philadelphia. came out
bluntly against the commodity dollar,
and since then he has made a number
of public addresses and statements, the
last of which was before the House
Committee on Coinage last week.
Regarded as Compromises.
Whether this slight, almost boyish-
appearing vice chairman Of the Bank
of the Manhattan Company may be
considered a spokesman for that rather
nebulous conglomeration Of opinions
and viewpoints called Wall Street."
may be questionable. but his friends
point out that he has at least started
to speak out.
His acceptance Of the devaluation of
the dollar and his proposals for a
''modernized" gold standard could be
considered as acceptable to the ultra
conservatives of Wall Street only as
compromises, and his statement. I'VE
have a maldistribution of wealth"
tended to place a liberal stamp upon
him.
In his 3Sth year, he has made
strong bid for the leadership in
finance once welded by his father. the
late Paul NJ. Warburg, leader in
founding the Federal Reserve system.
His father frankly deplored the ex-
cesses of 1923-29. and said one of the
great tasks in preventing depressions
was Ito sit on the bulges.
James Warburg re-echoed this view
In his appearance before the House
Coinage Committee. when he said. 1T
is always difficult for Government or
a central bank to apply the brakes in
times of over-expansion. 1t Is always
unpopular to attempt to check boom,
and as long as booms are unchecked
we shall always have depressions to
follow them"
recent Silence CNeu.
The inclination of bankers to ex-
press publicly their views had been
passing for some time before the ex-
traordinary silence Of recent months.
Most heads of Wall Street institutions
had developed the practice of saving
their views for presentation at the
annual meetings of stockholders.
Frank A. Vanderlip. while he headed
the National City Bank however, was
frequently quoted and Charles z.
Mitchell. who succeeded him, for some
time followed the same practice. The
late Charles H. Sabin, for some years
while he headed the Guaranty Trust
Co. was among the less reticent with
his views, although he retired into COM
parative quiet after William c. Potter
became president and active head OF
that institution. The late George F.
Baker always had horror of publicity.
