THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, LND.j FRIDAY, SLH'. lb, 191.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM 1 ' AND SUN-TELEGRAM Published " Every Evening Except Sunday by Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Building. North Ninth and Sailor Streets. Entered at the Post Ofrice at Richmond, Indiana, as Second-Class Mail Matter. MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Afisoclated Press Is exclusively entitled to the W tor republication of all newe dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited in this paper, also the local news published herein. All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserve. - Don't Speed Up Under this caption, Frederick J. Haskin a

few. days ago warned motorists of the danger of

speeding upon, straight and level stretches of

road, asserting that, according to one authority,

more accidents occur on those sections of the

highway than at curves and crossings.

Automobile drivers, he said, use care and

discretion in crowded traffic zones, but become j reckless where traffic is not heavy and where aj level stretch of the street or highway invites to speed. He may be wrong in the conclusions which he has drawn from his analysis of automobile accidents, but he is right in warning automobile drivers to be careful at all times. And not only are drivers included in the admonition, but pedestrians might take to heart a few lessons. The automobile has . become the most popular form of transportation in the United States. There is one automobile for

every 11 inhabitants of the United States, and that proportion, is becoming larger every day as more persons buy motor cars. The large number of automobiles present a traffic problem that is stupendous in its magnitude. It involves not only the movement of automobilesi in crowded areas of cities of the size, of New York and Chicago, but also in the smaller cities and in the rural districts. New York hardly devises one method of relieving the congestion before it becomes useless by reason of the increase of automobiles. Our own city council has enacted many ordinances governing traffic regulations and parking procedure, and yet they soon prove unsatisfactory. . " All of this indicates that the increase in the number of cars, rather than a disposition on the part of the automobile drivers to violate the

regulations, may be responsible for the problem. It also intensifies the necessity of pedestrians using judgment in crossing streets and of mov

ing along thoroughfares that are crowded with

automobiles. Many careful automobile drivers narrowly escape running down persons who are not using care in crossing streets, or who are taking desperate chances in trying to beat an automobile across an intersection. The caution used by a pedestrian does not relieve the automobile driver from exercising care. Magistrates of New York City believe that care

less drivers must be forced to learn that pedestrians and other motorists have rights that dare

not be violated. Some of them assert that drastic punishment of persons who cause injury and death by their careless driving is the only meth

od of curing the passion of automobile drivers

who persist in speeding and taking chances. Multiplicity of regulations, Mr. Haskin be

lieves, will not produce results. He enunciates a policy tfrat ieems to be fundamentally sound when he says:

"The only legal method that has worked is to make laws as few and simple as possible, and when the man actually does harm, punish him severely; or, if he is irresponsible, confine him in an institution. After all, civilization is only possible on the theory that the rest of us are responsible beings who can be trusted. If most of us are not, then the nation should be con

verted into one great asylum with a high fence

around it."

The process of educating all of us to the poin

where we will recognize our responsibility as

fellow citizens will be a slow one, but it is the only one that will solve the problem. If motorists arid pedestrians will observe the fundamental rules of safety, accidents will decrease, but so long as all of us take chances, the dsath rate from automobile accidents will keep on increasing at an alarming pace. The death rate in New York from traffic accidents today is three times greater than it was three years ago, and the same ratio probably holds true everywhere. The only way to reduce it is through the intelligence of the automobile drivers who value their lives and those of the other occupants of their cars more than their desire to show the

speed of their motor cars. And pedestrians will help in the reduction if they "stop, look, and

listen before crossing intersections.

How To Start the Day Wrong

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

THE BACK SEAT. I often rode with Stephen Stuss

his green supereight; it was a large i end powerful bus, and strictly up to! date, and was admired by every cuss ' who marked its easy gait. I do not!

like to beef or knock, it doesn't seem refined; but I would say, on every block, "It aggravates my mind, the way you turn your head to talk with those who sit behind. The man who drives a motor car should always look ahead,

end know just where the culverts are, i

and fhun the mudhole dread, or he may ditch us, with a jar, and leave us lying dead. The people in the seat behind would feel much better, too, if you would keep your feeble mind on what you have to do, and make your boat, in safety grind, until this jaunt is through." But Steve kept turning

round to say his bright and witty i things, and ran into a load of hay, j and busted all the springs: they took I us home upon a dray, in plaster casts end slings. And foolish Stephen Stuss

was hurt the worst of all, tis said; he landed squarely in the dirt upon his bony head, and ruined his twelvedollar shirt, all striped with green and red. And as I said to that poor toad, I say to every gent: When you are drivng, on the road keep all your glances bent, or you may soon have your abode beneath a monument.

Dinner Stories

John T. "went with" Susan for three years and then suddenly grew fickle and began to go with the youngest Allen girl. And Susan was decidedly peeved. She had entertained him well, fed him well, and had done everything in her power to win him. So when she heard he was going with the Allen girl she decided to get even. 'A little latcr her chance came. John's sister at the ladies' aid began

to tell how regularly John was going to Aliens. And when she was through Susan sniffed wisely. "At last," she paid with an air of triumph, "I know something I've long wondered about." Several pressed her to share her knowledge with them, and finally she did. "I know that the Aliens set a good table," she said with so much meaning that John's sister was silent.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up" DR. JOHNSTON MYERS In Chicago there is a church at Michigan Avenue and 23rd Street that is one of the most remarkable institutions in Amenta. Many years ago it stood in the midst of a most fashionable residence district. Today .business concerns hug it on all sides. Other churches near it have long ago been torn down to give way to the march of money. But not this one. Why? Because this one had a Job to do one too big to finish quickly. But more especially because Dr. Johnston Myers, the minister presiding over it, is a man of far reaching vision a man whose first concern has always been for human beings and their happiness in the world. Thousands of men and women now scattered over the earth owe to this man the inspiration back of their success and their faith. Had Dr. Johnston Myers chose to enter business he would have been one of the business giants of today. As it is he is one of the great men of this age for what he has done to make religion a practical affair as well as a beautiful thing to live by nd die in. His church is never closed during the day. There is a free library and rest room for any who may wish to come to it. There is a free ' employment office for both men and women. There is a doctor and nurses for the sick. And daily the hungry may come for food and it is free. Simple and plain, but it has stood many a one until the job could be secured. But the big and impressive thing about the whole institution is theman behind it Dr. Myers himself. He is the embodiment of sympathy, common sense, and rare understanding of human nature. He is frank and direct. And so simple and eloquent is his message from week to week that his church is always filled with those who come to listen and who go away with renewed faith. As was once said of Henry Ward Beecher, "he preaches Christ." No wonder that after a quarter of a century in this same church he stands stronger than ever as a moral force in his city and the world. When the writer of this talk went to the big city of Chicago, 20 years ago. it was this preacher who gave his the first encouragement. This is what he said: "George, we believe in you!" That is it, he believes in people. And so large multitudes listen to him gladly, believe what he tells them of God, of the Now and the Hereafter and leave his presence to live better and more useful lives.

as Commerce Reports, which up to

now has been published daily, has been changed to a weekly and materially altered as to its form.

Valuable Data. The daily bulletin contained trade

reports received from six hundred j consular officers and other representatives of the United States abroad was very valuable but loosely presented. The vast amount of data which it contained was unsystematized, presented under geographical divisions arui hard for the busy business man to read to any advantage. From now on me data will be presented in departments arranged under commodity heads, the expert at the head of each department acting as editor for the particular section of the report which deals with his division. In addition there will be features outlining the more important economic events of the week from a world trade standpoint, cable reports from various countries and authoritative articles upon economic, financial, business and industrial conditions in foreign countries, upon shipping activities, foreign tariffs, foreign commercial regulations, transportation problems and the marketing of foodstuffs.

While the secretary was devouring one of these peaches with keen relish a photographer for a news association "snapped" him. The picture, widely published throughout the country, has apparently aroused the envy of California, for that state, famed for its fruit,

has just sent to Washington a large shipment of the products of its vines and orchards for free distribution among the officials of the government. A nation-wide questionnaire to de

termine why consumers pay such high prices for food while producers are receiving such low prices is being conducted by the joint commission of agri

cultural inquiry. ' It is addressed to

farmers, transportation officials, jobbers, storage and commission dealers,

retailers and other agencies which deal with the production, transportation and marketing of food products. The commission is finding the study of the market situation its most difficult task because of the lack of any definite data of a general character. Most all data upon the subject is local, and local conditions vary so it is unfair and unsafe to attempt to draw any general conclusions or make any recommendations for the country at large from localized information. The commission feels, however, that when it has completed its work and made its

report, it will have given to the congress and to the country information regarding agricultural conditions which will be more definite and constructive, as well as more comprehensive, than has yet been made by any public investigating body.
