False perceptions are responsible for
many accidents Statistics show that a
large percent of railway crossing ac-
cidents occur when drivers actually run
into trains. This may be due to IL
lusions of various sorts.
Some people also do not have dis
lance perception. What seems to them
to be several hundred yards away is
probably only a few blocks away and
travelling at the rate of so or 60 miles
an hour does not allow time enough to
make decisions.
Where people are involved in this
type of accident, examination Of eyes
is advisable. 1t is sometimes difficult
to tell whether or not people actually
have good eyesight until examinations
are made.
Some of the largest trucking concerns
are now making this provision so that
they can protect motorists ON the high
way and also their own drivers and
cargoes.
It is important for the physical con-
dition of the driver to be in first class
shape as it is to have the physical
condition of the truck in order.
3,O26 deaths in 1884 through the mis-
use of firearms and at least 1870 of
them can be attributed to hunting and
the preparations for hunting.
But did you ever hear of a real
hunter who isn't careful when he
climbs through fences and walls, or who
carries gun in such a position that it
might be accidentally discharged? Did
you ever hear of real hunter who left
a loaded gun leaning against a tree or
rock, or lying on the ground or the

real hunter aim a gun at another
person or handle a gun as though it
weren't loaded?
Neither did we and that's why he's
real hunter. One of the best hunters
we know comes home once in awhile
without loaded bag but he has always
come home safely. That's our idea Of
a real hunter.

KANSAS CITY, March 28.-Mid-
west Republican chieftains moved
cautiously today toward a candidate
less convention to reorganize the mi
nority party for the 1886 presidential
campaign.
From william Allen White, noted
Emporia, Kans., editor and mentioned
as a possible leader in drafting q
platform, came the statement of
policy:
I'VE must make an iron-clad COW
enant with the people to do certain
definite, possible things which will re-
lieve the pressure of want and the
fear Of approaching poverty"
Harrison E. Spangler, Republican

best interests Of the country are to be
promoted by it."
White, who entertained former
President Herbert Hoover at his EN-
poria home six weeks ago, issued q
statement expressing fear that Amer
lea may drift into Fascism In the
next two or three years unless we
Republicans act with real courage and
wisdom"
THE Republican party must feel
the challenge to our ancient Demo-
cratic liberties, not by denouncing
the shortcomings Of this administra-
tion, but by guaranteeing the COM
mon man something specific in the
unmistakable terms Of a covenant.
Among others commenting on the
proposed conference was George
Hutchinson, lone Republican in the
present Oklahoma Senate.
Saying Republicans ARE beginning
to take hope" he added: "A few
months ago Republicans merely ad-
mitted they were registered as such
and now they not only admit it but

dation of unemployment and poverty

dation of unemployment and poverty
in old age.
The fear of these insurable calami-
ties has pushed Europe over the brink
from an imperfect democracy into q
rule of dictators, Stain, Mussolini,
Hitler and the Balkan rulers. The
slow, inexorable forces of the depres-
sion in America will persuade those
who fear hunger, sickness, idleness
and degraded old age to follow the
futile leadership Of some radical
demogogue who will push us, as Europe
has been pushed. into tyranny. This
America keeps weakly monkey-doo-
ding with makeshift measures and
less plutocracy, backed by the caste
consciousness of the military as
demagogues have done all over Europe.
Urges Humane Policy.
II parliamentary government in
America keeps weakly monkey -doodl-
ing with makeshift measures and
denying security to the common man
eager to work, danger turks ahead.
The precious liberties for which our
fathers have fought for 800 years will
be swapped for the fake security of
tyrantS, who will then add the arro-
gance Of their power to cold, hunger
and penury.
If the Republican party has the
courage to turn to the humanity of
Lincoln and away from the property
minded leadership which has domin-
ated it most Of the time for 20 years,
we can save America. But America
cannot be saved by merely denouncing
the faults of Roosevelt.
We must make an iron-clad coven-
ant with the people to do certain def
mite possible things which will re-
lieve the pressure of want and the fear
OF approaching poverty. But, as I say,
what l read in the papers about the
coming Republican meeting is all I
know definitely about it.

EMPORIA, Kans., March al
read the story in which Gov. ALI
Landon of Kansas declares that a
meeting will be called soon of the
representative Republicans in half a
dozen or more mid Western States to
put out a new declaration Of Re-
publican principles to fit the new
order and make new issues for a new
day.
This seems to be, on the face Of it,
good idea. But I only know what
I have seen in the papers. I have
heard such a convention discussed
causally at various times by various
Republicans. I was not aware that
the plans were in any way formu-
lated and have given no serious
thought to the details of such
platform.
Urges G. o. p. to Act.
However, I fear that America may
drift into Fascism in the next two
or three years unless we Republicans
act with real courage and wisdom.

nearly two-thirdS completed. the
White SoX are clinging to third
place and are preparing to make
their flag bid next month. Ten TO
one right now would be q dangerous
price to lay against the White SoX.
After a 20-day road trip the SoX
returned to Comiskey park today
only Az games behind the New
York Yankees. In the all-import-
ant "lost" column, the White Sox
are only one game behind their
leading rivals, the Tigers and
Yanks.
Chicago probably will reach the
climax of its first serious pennant
drive in Is years during the week
of August 25, when the Yankees
invade Comiskey park for four
doubleheaders in four days.
The White SoX pitching has
shown a startling Improvement
lately.
Les Tietje yesterday twirled a
three-hit game in pitching the
White Sox to a To triumph over
the st. Louis Brown.
A six run rally in the sixth gave
Cleveland a 6-5 decision over De-
troit and snapped the Tigers five
game winning streak. General Al
vim Crowder. who blanked the
Yanks in his last start, blew up
with a 80 lead.
Red Lucas pitched four-hit
game to give Pittsburgh its 18th
victory in the last II games-a 81
victory over the St Louis Cardi-
mails. 1t was the Cards seventh
defeat in eight games and dropped
them five games behind the New
York Giants. Lloyd Waner's single
drove in the winning tally.
