Looks Like a proper criterion,
ROUGH Battle the political cam

der way is going to be rough. l base
that prediction upon the view taken
of it by Postmaster General Farley, the
king-pin Democratic politician and the
reactions that have come editorially
and in news columns to the Presidents
Jackson day dinner speech and the
political phases of his message on the
state of the Union. Mr.. Farley made
no bones about the prospect. He fore
sees all kinds of mud singing, mis-
representation and personal attacks.
There seems to be no doubt that he
is correct.
Act cta Milo 6iCNnC-
sion of international problems, Mr..
Roosevelt's message to congress de-
scended to the point where he was def
nitely catalOging all opposition to the
New Deal as greedy and selfish" men
and women. Every one of them, in the
Presidents opinion, has personal AK
of avarice to grind. He intends, ap-
parently, to make that his theme song.
Whether his conclusions are right or
wrong is not in question here. The
point is that since Mr.. Roosevelt has
opened the fire in that manner, he can
naturally expect the same type of fire
to be returned. In the language of the
twelve-year- ruffian: HE asked for
it." There was another striking thing
about the Roosevelt speeches to con-
gress and to the Jackson day diners.
For the first time since he has occu-
pied the White House, he gave every
evidence of being nettled and nervous.
He spoke in voice that appeared to
be tired there was lacking that buoy
ancy, that smile, when he spoke that
used to characterize his expressions.
You will recall undoubtedly that for
long time in the early part of his ad-
ministration he was wholly unmindful
of his enemies, ignored them complete
ly, and plOwed straight ahead with a
determination that won him many
friends. Lately, however, there has
been unmistakable evidence of a mar
tyr complex in his manner.

ARREST HELLO
OF TRAFFIC TOLL
Northwestern University
Survey Reveals "Direct"
Relationship.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, February 21.-Prompt
arrests and convictions of all traffic
violators afford the quickest method
of reducing the Nations appalling
annual death list from motor acct
dents. a survey by Northwestern Uni
versity indicates.
Based on reports of law enforce
ment and motor fatalities over a
two-year period from 38 leading cities,
the survey found a direct relationship
existed between the number of ar
rests and convictions for speeding,
reckless driving, passing red lights
and other highway violations and the
motor vehicle mortality rate.
Ratio Covered by Index.
Ranking the communities on the
basis of an index covering the ratio
between the number of convictions
and the number of personal injury
accidents. the survey found that the
group which boosted the biggest in
creases in enforcement showed de-
crease of 10 per cent in deaths.
I At the top of this list Detroit was
placed with an increase of 81 per
cent in law enforcement and de-
crease of IA per cent in the auto
death rate.
Only two other cities reported an
enforcement index better than 10
Phoenix, Ariz., with 15.5. and Evans
ton, ILL.,, 1879. Due to the influx of
tourists in the Arizona city a special
condition existed there, the report
said, which made it an exception to
the general conclusion that death
rates fell with strict enforcement
Phoenix death rate showed a 80 pei
cent gain.
Goal Is Suggested.

DIPHTHERIA
TREATMENTS
TO Be GIVEN
SCHOOL CHILDREN TO BE AT
FoRDED OPPORTUNITY IN
CAMPAIGN STARTED IN KEY
WEST

During the present campaign
for diphtheria prevention, the
parents or guardians of all chill
dren from one to ten years of age
will be afforded the opportunity
of having their children protected
against diphtheria.
Consent blanks for the treat
ments are supplied &c each school
child. These slips are to be sign
ed by the parent or guardian and
returned to the school as soon as
possible. This will be the only
chance for parents to avail them
selves of this. opportunity during
the current school term.
Since the beginning of the cam
paign against diphtheria in this
state, many thousands of children
have received the treatment.
Among those who have been i'm
mrnized, not a single death has
occurred from the disease.
Medical Science has been dem
onstrating for the past Is years
that this treatment is absolutely
specific. 1t may properly be con-
sidered little less than criminal
for any parent to deprive child
of this protection, ny failing to
sign the consent form which will
entitle it to treatment, it is stat
ed.
With the parents consent, their
child can be protected from diph-
theria-a dread disease, which if
it does not xii, usually leaves the
child with an affected heart, dam
aged kidneys, or partial paralysis
of certain muscles, it is shown.
The appeal is to the parents to
help give their child his or her
right to health and happiness.
Clinics will be he'd in the public
schools for children from five to
ten years of age inclusive.
Children from one to five in
elusive may obtain the immuniza-
ton treatment ct the Clinic on
Monday, Wednesday or Saturday
mornings.
The Health Department urges
the parent to hep them in their
efforts to eradicate this terrible
disease. The treatment is with
in the means of everyone.
