THE PRESIDENT CALLS

1t may be that President Roosevelt s
hold on the American people, which all
will agree is greater than that of any re-
cent President since his predecessor of
the same name, may be the lodestone
which will draw the people of this coun-
try actively into the fight to reduce the
traffic casualty list.
Yesterday Mr.. Roosevelt assumed the
lead in such a move by addressing letters
to the governors of all the states, calling
upon them to cooperate through their
respective governments in a campaign to
reduce the deaths from traffic this year
Il am gravely concerned with the in
creasing number of deaths and injuries
occurring in automobile accidents" the
President wrote. preliminary figures
indicate that the total of these losses
during the year 1884 greatly exceeded
that of any previous year. We should,
as people, be able to solve this problem
which SO vitality affects the lives and hap
plness of our citizens"
The President pointed out that uni
form state legislation has been worked
out by the federal government through
the National Conference on Street and
Highway Safety but that it is up to the
individual state governments to give
force to this legislation by adopting it.
Control of automobile traffic is primar-
lily state function. The federal gov
ernment can only advise and suggest.
Mr.. Roosevelt's letter is addressed no
less to every motorist in the country.
Through their state executives he was
talking to them. Every state might adopt
his suggestion of uniform legislation,
yet it would be worthless in reducing the
death list without the cooperation of the
individuals. Only the determined sup
port of everyone who sits behind the
wheel of an automobile, can accomplish
what the President desires
Their own safety, the safety of others,
the danger to life and limb, the Golden
Rule and many other incentives have been
emphasized to motorists as reasons why
they should drive carefully at all times
Now to these is added cooperation with
the President of the United States He
who would not cooperate with the Pres
ident in time of war, would be design
ated Stacker" or worse He is
Stacker or worse who refuses to coop
crate in this war against automobile fat
alities.

FEATURES
FOOLS NEVER CHANGE

Somebody once said something to the
effect that only fool never changes his
mind. A little reflection on that state
ment by an intelligent person will reveal
its wisdom
A man who cannot arrive at decls-
ion on any particularly matter. is lack
ing in intelligence. 1t does not necessar-
lily follow that a man who gets a mis-
taken view is lacking in Intelligence
If he recognizes his mistake and corrects
it.
There have been honest and sincere
men and women, in Imperial Valley, who
could not see construction of Boulder
dam and the All-American canal as
practical possibility. They were just as
anxiety to see this community develop,
just as loyal to it, as those who shouted
the hardest for the Swing-J ohnson bill
The majority of them changed their
minds when it was demonstrated to them
by the course of action that they had
been mistaken in their views The few
who have never changed cannot be found
They hide themselves, not being big
enough to admit that they were wrong.
To claim "once wrong, always wrong,
is to go contrary to all the lessons of
history The man who claims that be-
cause the other fellow guessed wrong
once. the latter must remain wrong and
always be wrong, only demonstrates his
own ignorance.
Saul of Tarsus was an outstanding en-
emy of Christendom. 1t was his mission
in life to destroy the organization of the
Man of Galilee. Yet Saul of Tarsus be-
came the great st. Paul, the outstanding
apostle of the western church. Saul and
Paul were the same man. Saul was
wrong but became right.
ST. Augustine, recognized as a leader in
theology and philosophy, was the despair
of his good mother because of his pagan
life and the excesses in which he INDUCED
in his early days, yet he changed his
mind and his name lives while history
lasts
Lincoln, to come to more modern times,
changed his mind some six or seven times,
before he finally found Grant to lead the
Union army to victory Woodrow Will
son was elected President because "he
kept us out of war;" and Immediately
found it necessary to lead his country
into the same war.
Learned men once believed the steam
locomotive impractical because the hu-
man body could not stand being rushed
through space at such a great speed as
20 miles an hour-yet today the same
sort of human bodies fly over 300 miles
per hour through the air.
1t is no disgrace, not dishonorable and
certainly not reflection on their intelli-
gence that men and women believed the
Colorado project impossible, either from
an engineering or financial standpoint
1t is only when they persist in still think
ing so or try to hamper the completion of
the project that they display their ig-
norance. Even then, we doubt if they are
as ignorant or, as malicious as those who
cry 'he was once wrong, so he is wrong
forever"

Wallace to Take
His Claim About
Mae TO Court

NEW YORK, May 10 Q.N.SO.
The big Mae West Frank Wal
lace marriage mystery has its
inning in Supreme Court here
today.
Wallace, veteran vaudeville
song and dance man, announced
last night through his attorney,
Lee w. Bellin, that he will file
papers today compelling the
screen siren to prove she is not
the girl he married in Milwaukee
in 1911.
Wallace'S lawyer said he will
avail himself of an obscure law
usually applied to cases involving
money damages, where the loser
of the case contends he was not
notified in time to enter a de-
tense.
This, said the lawyer, is a
statutory civil right of "declara-
ton of judgment" and through
it Wallace will petition the
courts to indirectly declare that
Mae West is his legal wife.
The actress has repeatedly de-
MED that she was ever married
to Wallace or to anyone.

jacks surely bucked. When I
saw some Of those boys trying
to fork them, thought back
to the days out home. Boy, if
the crowd thought those little
jacks were tough, they should
have seen some Of the wild
horses we used to round up
and sell down in the Staked
Plains country of Texas.
"Why, 1 remember-but first
I've got to tell a little joke on
myself. My daddy bought me
a little branded pinto. 1t was
a worked-out cow pony, but we
didn't know that and thought
it the greatest horse in the
world. We used to trace the
brand and dream a lot Of
dreams.
PITCH IN MORNING
"That pony was not all
worked out. He used to pitch
in the morning-the morning
pitch they call it out there. 1
rode a milk route and one
morning 1 swung up, laden
down with buckets Of milk and
cream. I wound up in a ditch,
with a mess of broken glass
and splashing cream around
me.
But now down to Texas"
said Jim. He was warmed to
the theme now, and the
anxious queries Of managers
and attendants fell on half
deaf ears.
There was an outfit down
there that got 100000 acres of
land FIR building the capital at
Austin. They decided to break
it up and sell it off in town
lots.
"They raked off the grass
and made what looked like q
road. Then they ran excursions
down from Missouri, Nebraska,
Minnesota and all over.
LIKE ABILITY
"SOme of those farmer boys
liked their ability as riders.
And we were willing to give
them a thrill. We rounded up
some mavericks, branded them
and put them in corralS until
the brands ',ealed. Then we
would put on a show. Some of
our riders would ride a bronx,
and then some of the farm boys
would try. Poor kids, they
learned.
II learned a little myself"
said Jim with a laugh. There
was a lOp-eared pinto hitched
to a corral, and thought I'd
ride him. 1 just dropped off
the fence to the saddle, but he
hit me coming up. I'll tell you
that the next few minutes were
very busy for me. 1 cheated q
little on rOdeO riding rules and
the boys gave me the joyous
razZ, but the farmers thought
it was a lot Of riding.
ut was, said Jim, rubbing a
reflective ear. 81 didn't get
hurt, and I was riding for my
hfe' not for prise money"
