THE HIGHWAY-THE cAR-THE
DRIVER

When you take your car on streets or
highways, three definite factors are IN
volved. First, the road. Second, the car.
Third, the human element-yourself.
Practically every automobile accident
can be traced to one of these three factors.
And the third is infinitely the more i'm
portant. Highway engineers have done
their part to make driving safer-they
have given us model highways, with scien-
tifically constructed turns and the safest of
surfaces. Automobile development is
safer bodies, brakes, steering, lights and
tires have been nothing short of sensa-
tional.
For every accident that can be blamed
on the road or the automobile, a dozen
can be blamed on the driver 1t is an es-
tablished fact that the bulk of accidents
occur on good, straight highways in ordi-
nary weather, and involves cars whose me-
chanieal condition is adequate APP
parently, if road and car are produced
which make it safe to drive ten miles an
hour faster than in the past, legion of
drivers will at once start driving twenty
miles faster-and the inevitable result is
mounting accident toll
The present year is witnessing a tre-
mendous increase in accidents over 1888
If the trend continues new high in
fatalities may be established. The cure is
knowledge that tells you how to drive un-
der all conditions, and sense of the re-
sponsibility you owe to all who use the
public highway. If every motorist would
start an individual safety campaign of his
own the automobile accident record would
go into tailspin.

THE PRESS AND THE NRA
editor and publisher)

Editor and Publisher)
When the committee of the American News
paper Publishers Association told President Roose-
welt and General Hugh s. johnson, at the outset of
the long discussion of NRA code for newspapers.
that the principle did not apply to the newspaper
business and that it would be difficult, if not i'm
possible, to formulate code which would work for
all kinds of daily newspapers, Gen. johnson scoffed
and said he could write a satisfactory code in
hall hour.
1t was flip remark, which seemed to amuse
gentlemen who imagine they know all about the
newspaper business, though they have never owned
operated a newspaper and it was spread by
members of the American Newspaper Guild as the
seasons best joke. IL other businesses were to be
compelled to accept codes, newspapers could. too
Refusal would constitute publisher hypocrisy these
narrOw-sOuled individuals preaching recovery,
while refusing to make any personal sacrifices in
its name. Such was the talk in the fall of 1889
The newspaper code was finally written and
may be said to have been in operation for six
months. This week we asked representative news

to state their opinion of the success or failure of
NRA, applied to the press and business in gen

TINS constitutes an answer, after the fact, to
General JOhnsOn's glib remark The consensus is
that NRA has not been beneficial to newspapers
because it was mistit from the start There are
varying opinions concerning its general success 1t
mas slightly increased the number OF employees. de-
creased hours o. employment and increased rate OF
pay. That is commendable. OF course, because
NRA was device to increase employment But it
has been an expensive pest in the newspaper bust
ness and we say now. did when it was first
proposed, that it cannot be practically employed in
an industry which Is organized as loosely and
variously as the newspaper business The press has
been treated by the government as a large indus
trial unit, which IS absurd. And. as William Allen
White wittily remarks: The newspaper business

circumstances o. Its environment. 1t cannot be a

recognize these facts and act accordingly.

West win appear in the listings
of the votes cast throughout the

is to show its political strength
and that can be done only BY hav-
ing large vote registered in
elections. At the last primary
election John w. Martin was Civ
en- the largest majority in the
state, proportionately, at Key

to do at this election is to give

NO TRUMPETS
SOUNDED FOR
!. DOUGLAS

Continued from Page y
any pretence of balancing the bud
get, was suffered to depart from
the Presidents official family with
out even word of regret.
No letters of mutual esteem and
appreciation were made public in
the case of Mr.. Douglas. Neither
the White House nor Mr.. Douglas
announced the budget chiefs re.
tirement. The White House
simply announced the, appoint
ment of his successor.
There was no warning of Mr..
Douglas resignation. He went to
the summer White House presum.
ably to confer with his chief on
the budget to be submitted to
Congress this winter. He went
away from the White House a pri.
vate citizen, although his attitude
in the Bureau of the Budget had
never been the subject of particu.
larly vigorous attack.
Had Made Sacrifices
Mr.. Douglas had made an un.
questionable sacrifice to place his
talents at the disposal of the
Roosevelt administration at q
time when those talents were in
demand. He had given up his
position as a Representative, in
which he was regarded as secure,
and with that position had sur
rendered valuable seniority priv
leges in the House.
He was let out, or permitted to
resign, without so much as word
of public appreciation of his sacri-
flee and service.
Quite a different situation ex-
listed when General johnson came
forward to lay down his control
over the Blue Eagle.
General johnson had been sub
jected to attack by organized
labor, as well as by organized and
unorganized business ever since he
came to Washington to admin
lister the National Industrial Re-
covery Act. While he worked ire

he had not made any particular
sacrifice in taking the job.
Johnson Gained Fame.
He had given up his private
business, but that wasn't prosper
ing, anyway, according to all re.
ports. He came to Washington and
the Administration made him a
national, even an international,
figure overnight.
He leaves the National RecoV.
cry Administration a much greater
figure than he entered it.
Yet, when he resigned, the
President showered encomiums
upon him. He was lauded and the
hope was held out that he would
again return to pubic service
after a resi-.
Washington, without raising the
question of the value Of. the serv-
ices rendered by General Johnson,
cannot help wondering why he
should go out with such fanfare,
while Mr.. Douglas departed with
out the sound of single trumpet.
