TRAGEDIES OF THE ROAD INCREASING Perils of the high roads of the United States are comparable with hazards of warfare. Highway fatalities in the United States for the year 1923 numbered 22,621, according to Census Bureau estimates. This is equal to the fatalities of a great battle. In truth, the number of killed in some of the greatest battles of the Civil War was less than the number killed annually on the highways of this country. The horrors of war engage much attention. What about the horrors of peace? Wars come periodically. But slaughter on the streets and highways goes on continually. At present rate, the total number killed in traffic on highways in four years will equal the total number of soldiers of the American Expeditionary Forces killed in the World War. Automobile accidents account for the greatest number of highway fatalities—more than 16,000 in 1923. This is inevitable because of the larger number of automobiles constantly in traffic. Railroad grade crossings were responsible for 2268 fatalities in 1923. Here is a problem and a menace that is as important to this country as prevention of warfare. For more lives are being lost in traffic in the United States than the country loses in warfare, based on averages covering any decade. Some of the political linen is being laundered right out in front of the public, where everybody may see and hear it.

RAIN AND SNOW COME IN CHEERING VOLUME Soaking rains in Northern and Central California, with snow on the high mountains, for the second time recently have brought cheer to the whole state. Southern California is due to receive its share of the inspiriting downpour before long. Trying as has been the situation during this dry year, the hope and expectation of thoughtful persons who have lived a good many years in this state have never failed. They have been confident that it only was a question of time when Nature would bring the craved relief from drought. Good rains are beginning comparatively early this fall, with every prospect that the winter will bring downpours that will saturate the ground, revive vegetation, bring on good crops, and store up vast quantities of water in subterranean reservoirs to meet future needs. Every time there is a rain or a snow, in any part of the state, the whole state will continue to rejoice. Cut taxes down below the level of excessiveness. Do not abuse helpless animals. It is an unmanly, cruel craven thing to do. California cannot begin too soon to replant the forest areas denuded by fires. After all, the telephone girl who makes the connections for patrons does a great deal toward creating talk in the neighborhood. Give the child training in obedience to law.

Not All Straw Voting Is Done Before Election "FREE STATE BETWEEN FRANCE AND GERMANY WOULD PREVENT FUTURE WARS" Only a free Rhine state for separating the borders of France and Germany can bring permanent peace to Europe, in the opinion of Dr. Hans Dorten. Dr. Dorten, now in the U.S., was for brief time president of the Renaissance Republic and has for years voted himself to the establishment of a separatist state. His efforts failed—failed only in that he were so successful in building a strong organization supported by many of his people that it deemed wise by certain powers "and let it be stated," remarked the ex-president, "that the Renaissance Republic was not among those to remove him." What are the chances for permanent establishment of Rhine republic?" Dr. Dorten asked. "Its chances are equal with chance of a permanent European peace," he replied. "By the mean that warfare between France and Germany will cease until they are divided by neutral country. If the League of Nations had a real appreciation of the situation it would create a Rhine republic. Such would be practical solution. As if that body is in the clouds, wishes peace it must come earth and plant its feet on Rhineland." Dr. Dorten asserts that a Renaissance republic should have two definite political aims—one controlling interior policies and having an end a German confederacy, other governing its foreign cities and directed toward a European peace. The two aims, itained, would, he believed, re-enter in a United States of Europe. Original Rights Deserved "I began by wanting to deprive Germany." he said.

ABE MARTIN WHOS WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS SIR JOHN SIMON The man frequently referred to as England's foremost liberal leader, Sir John Simon, is prominently mentioned among those talked of to succeed Ramsay McDonald as premier of Great Britain when the Ramsay government steps out. Were ex-premier Asquith a bit younger his name would once more lead the list but his advanced years make him politically ineligible, critics agree. Sir John has been identified with British politics since 1906 when he became a liberal member of parliament from Wigthamstow division, Essex. In 1910 he was named solicitor general. Three years later he was made attorney general with a seat in the cabinet. In 1915 he was appointed secretary of state for home affairs. A year later he forsook the civilian ranks to serve as a major in the royal air force, seeing active service in the French front. He is 51. He was born on Feb. 28, 1873 and was knighted by the king in 1910. For many years he has been standing counsel for Oxford University. A Little Talk on Thrift By S. W. STRAUS (President American Society for Thrift) An eminent American psychologist recently emphasized in a publication statement the importance of thoroughness in the scheme of human progress. His advice could be epitomized in the following paragraph: "Do not scatter your mental forces Concentrate on those lines of endeavor in which you naturally excel. Thoroughness will get you further along the way toward your goal than versatility. This is the age of specialization. Choose your work and then give it wishes peace it must come earth and plant its feet on Rhineland." Dr. Dorten asserts that a Republican should have two definite political aims—one controlling interior policies and having end a German confederacy, other governing its foreign cities and directed toward a European peace. The two aims, it trained, would, he believed, re-in a United States of Europe. Original Rights Deserved "I began by wanting to depsianize Germany," he said. "Many is composed of individual states, and has only come under Prussian dominance through the fire and sweats tactics of Bismark. The privalities of which it was formed composed should receive the original rights again." The nation, he contends, she be reconstructed on its old life with an independent Rhine state including the left bank and a slave on the right 60 kilometer depth, its borders running from Essen to Frankfurt; the other states to include Upper and Lo Saxony, Swabia, Bavaria, Prussia, the latter preferably be subdivided into Pomerania Brandenburg, East Prussia Silesia.

CAPTURE CHINESE SEATTLE, Oct. 23. — Six Chinese and one white man were captured this morning by a picket boat of the U.S. coast guard near Port Townsend as the Chinese were about to be smuggled into American territory from Canada, according to wireless reports from the coast guard cutter Arcata. The Seattle harbor radio received a message from the Arcata telling of the capture of Seaboat 148-M with the Chinaman aboard. The Areata said that it had taken over the captives and was proceeding to Seattle. An eminent American psychologist recently emphasized in a public statement the importance of thoroughness in the scheme of human progress. His advice could be epitomized in the following paragraph: "Do not scatter your mental forces Concentrate on those lines of endeavor in which you naturally excel. Thoroughness will get you further along the way toward your goal than versatility. This is the age of specialization. Choose your work and then give it your devotion and ability." Not doing things well is about as bad as not doing them at all. This is one of the lessons of thrift. Superficiality is the cause of many a personal failure in life. It is one phase of thriftlessness. The problems of life are so large and complex, and the range of human endeavor so far-reaching that effective individual effort must be restricted to certain definite and somewhat limited lines. There is an old proverb to the effect that "the fellow with one idea generally grows rich, while he who calls him a fool dies poor." It is enough to have succeeded well in just one thing. It is better to attain worth-while results in a single department of life than to have tried many things and failed in all. Do not be a jack-of-all trades. Be thorough in whatever you undertake. Merely skimming the surface is self-deception. Learn to do your job so well that no one else can do it as well as you can. In due time the opportunity will come for greater tests and responsibilities. It is in this way the processes of progress unfold. It is good thrift to concentrate and give the best that is in you. Men who do these things are among life's successes. The conservative business man who does not expose his business affairs to unnecessary hazards, is usually not so considerate of his physical welfare.

In a report to the board of education he urged an effort to change education from a Fourth of July boast to a proved science. He demanded that the schools be made to show definite accomplishments in return for the huge sums spent on them annually. It is a timely question. Many persons agree that not enough money is spent on education in this country in comparison with the funds devoted to luxuries and to war. But the educators are right who ask that we be sure that such money as is used for education be used as effectively as possible. And that brings up the old question of what education is or should be. The Chicago superintendent stresses particularly the "fundamentals" of education. Certainly it should not be too much to ask, he thinks that a public school pupil, after a reasonable length of time, should know how to write legibly and spell correctly. He deplores the "bewildering course of study" and asks for a simplification of the curriculum. On the whole, of course, he is right. Yet it is conceivable that a pupil might learn to read and write well and still remain little more than a marker of perfect copy books. If he hasn't learned to use his mind, to tackle and solve new problems, if he hasn't grown in mental power and strength of character and moral force, then his legible writing is not enough to make him an educated person. One of the things which the public schools of this country, and even the higher institutions of learning, need, is to have a large number of citizens and teachers think about education itself and decide what it ought to be and what sort of men and women it should produce. When some enlightened agreement on these points has been reached, the matter of courses of study will be easily adjusted. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE SPEAKING OF HISTORY In one of the most readable of histories, "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire," Gibbons opines that history is little more than the register of crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind. To Goethe, the best that history gives us is the enthusiasm it arouse. He saw the historian's duty as two-fold; first towards himself, then towards his readers. "As regards himself, he must carefully examine into the things that could have happened; and, for the reader's sake, he must determine what actually did happen." "His action towards himself is a matter between himself."

Goethe observed that it is seldom that any one of great are becomes historical to himself, and finds his contemporaries become historical to him, so he neither cares nor is able to argue with any one.
