Corporation Counsel Prettyman is

It is a policy which commends itself

ously attacked by law officers, fully
backed by public sentiment.
Once It is understood that pros

to show no leniency in the matter
of those arrested for driving while
drunk, or driving under the influence
of liquor-whether or not the driver

the hope of leniency in court and
the prospect of being able to get out

take chances in mixing their drinks
with their automobile driving. A gen.
ersl understanding that driving while
drunk is an offense that merits no
mercy and will receive none will do
as much to prevent it as the higher
penalties that Mr. Prettyman recon-
mends.
The drunken driver is a generally
recognized menace and anybody is
apt to be his victim. any time. The
alacrity with which the Board Of
Trade gave its hearty approval to Mr.
Prettymans campaign, promising its
full support, is an indication of the
cooperation he may expect from an

in days OF pain and days of sorrow.
In His teaching they find not only
comfort and surcease from conflicting
fears and doubts, but intimations Of
immortality that give them assurance
of a new life when time shall be no

books describing the British soldiers

fessed church afflation. he rarely met
a man, even the roughest, who did
not reverence Jesus Christ. His name
for 10 centuries has occupied an un-
approachable place. I repeat, there
are no standards by which to measure
Him, no language by which to ap-
praise Him. Higher" says one, has
