On This
Occasion
HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

The loss of precious lives goes
merrily on throughout the country by
automobile route. We stand aghast at
the loss of 10000 of the nations
young manhood in the Bataan penin-
sula in the Philippines where this
number have been lost to a cruel and
despicable foe, the Jap. Many an
American home is saddened with the
lack of news of their loved ones who
were with Generals Macarthur and
wainwright in the battles at Bataan
when history and heroes were made
in the days before lack of food and
help caused the men to fell under
the incesSant onslaughtS of the con-
stantly increasing power of the greasy
NipponeSe. This is war and war Is
hell.
A comparable hell, only spread over
a larger territory, breaks loose in this
country every year when We kill
10000 and MAIN a million more by
means of the automobile in peacable
pursuits on our public highways. Some
of these accidental deaths and injuries
are unavoidable but by far the larger
number are caused by thoughtless and
incompetent drivers. The pedestrian
also comes in for his share of the
blame. The facts still remain. Aid and
comfort is given the Axis by the kill
ing and manning of our people by the
thousands on the streets and high
ways of the country.
Through education and editorial
counsel the daily and weekly news
papers of the state have set them
selves the task of saving 100 lives q
year, if possible. Some success has
been achieved where the papers have
been aided by the authorities in the
cities in which the papers are pub
liSiled.. Ely was on the top list for q
matter of six years without an auto
fatality within its limits when sud
denly this record was smashed with a
fatality just a few hundred feet
within the limits of the city year
ago.
Cautioning some people does not
seem to have the desired effect. With
the rationing of tires and gas and
the setting of a 40-mile compulsory
speed limit, it is thought that about
80 per cent of accidents will be
avoided. There will be some, even with
drastic restrictions, who will throw
caution to the wind, I'LL up with booze
and drive their car with abandon anc
at a speed contrary to the laws. JUS
to show that it can be done and ther
thumb their noses at authority. A gooe
American will live for the benefit o.
his country and obey its laws. Even i
he does this, he is still at the mercy
of the other fellow who cares ant
lives only for himself. This Is a fret
country. Do as you like. Go KIN your
self but let the other fellow live
Rationing by law is resented by TIT
un-American who is under the i'm
preston that he is exempt from
American laws.

Mutt and jeff

You can uncover Louis Lau-
rent-no matter how crowded
the station-by simply seeking
out the tallest porter in the
place. And TO make certain,
Just look for a shortish Red Cap
always beside him so that you
get the impression Of Mutt and
jeff in blackface.
The little fellow is Alton Nor
gan and besides being a crack
baggage-Smasher, he is a poet.
Morgan has never had his poetry
published-but he recites il on
every occasion and the greatest
admirer of his art is Laurent.
Especially that epic about the
liberation of the colored race.
Louis thinks that it ranks with
Lincoln's Gettysburg speech.
