. WHEN SENATOR HUEY LONG
was shot in the Louisiana State Cap
itOl. the country was given a warn
ing of the dangers that flow out OF
bitter political controversies. We
are soon to engage on a prolonged
presidential election campaign. II
i, predicted that it will be the most
bitter that has been witnessed for
many years. Who can tell what will
happen?
People may hold bitter and violent
opinions. but only a very few of them
would ever make any violent physi-
cal assault on anybody.
But there are some who are not
governed. by the ordinary rules of
conduct, and whose passions are stir
red to such a depth that they might
do anything. Care should be taken
not to create such an atmosphere of
boiling excitement, that such men
are tempted to break loose in acts
OF violence.
In South America. election con-
troversies are not terminated when
the ballots are counted The de-
feated parties in innumerable cases
have driven the successful candi-
dates out by attacks or threats
against their lives, or by armed up
risings.
Such demonstrations of violence
must be stopped in this country
They can not be tolerated. even if
people disbelieve in the ideas and
actions of men who are attacked.
The people should enter the 1886
presidential campaign without un-
reasonable bitterness. Republicans !
md Democrats are not so different. /
they all want prosperity for every
iody, and. differ only in honest Opin-
on as to how such prosperity is to
H. attained. People would better
aim down. put a little ice on their
eads, and prepare to discuss the is
ues of that time with calmness and
loderation. If anybody waves a gun
r threatens violence, put him
here he belongs.

THERE ARE movements in a num-
ber of localities, to enlist citizens as
volunteer members of an Organiza-
tion to correct improper automobile
driving. Police and traffic officers
can not spot all the bad drivers. A
volunteer organization would be a
fine thing in every state. to report
drivers who need education and cor
rection.
The ordinary citizen passes the
buck for the regulation of automo-
bile driving to the police. But while
an officer is watching one car, hun
dred others are being driven, many
of them carelessly. There is too
large a class of people who feel that
anything goes on the road. provided
no officer sees it. Volunteer organ
izations formed. to correct bad driv-
ing would lead some of these fellows
to do a little more thinking.
Right here in Milford there is
crying need for a campaign against
reckless drivers-especially on Lake
Avenue where school children are
endangered daily by thOughtless
drivers.

HEIGHT OF ANGELS

The customs authorities of one of
the central European states have
been engaged In very interesting
controversy. A sculptor entering
their country objected to paying duty
on statue of an angel, which, he
said he had no intention of selling
Under the rules, he was told, works
of art Of this type were only exempt
If they weighed over ten pounds and
were at least life-size.
But what, In the case of an angel,
was life-size? The statue was five
feet high, but the customs officials
were quite sure an angel was taller
than that. So, In srite Of his pro-
tests, the sculptor had TO pay.
He really can't grumble. because
the best authorities seem to agree
that, while angels can change their
height and general appearance at
will. they are normally considerably
over five feet.
