One effect of the Consti tutional change in the date of Presidential inauguration is to put an end to the custom of great mili tary parades with which^Presidents have long been ushered in. Wash ington is sometimes springlike in March, but in January it is always wintry. DEATH ON THE HIGHWAY While the year’s tally of auto mobile deaths is not yet complete, the figures already available make it clear that the record of 1936 is higher than that of 1933. About 37,000 persons were killed in motor accidents in the twelve months. This brings the total number of persons killed in America by motor cars, in the 13 years since records began to be kept, up to above 423,000. That is more by half than all of the Americans who have been killed in all our wars from the Revolution down to the World War. The motor car has become the nation’s deadliest weapon. With 2,000,000 more cars on the roads, we may expect even more highway deaths in 1937. Those who have given this sub ject the closest study agree that the blame for most of these motor killings lies not with the car nor the road, but with t$ie driver.! There are still twenty states in' which no license is required to drive a car; in many others, the exami n-irirtrt rtf rlriv^rc frtr is no perfunctory that possession of aj driver’s license is no proof that it* owner is a good driver. The most dangerous place to drive is on a wide, well-paved highway on a clear day. That is where and when motorists get careless. Sunday is the most dan geraus day in the week, Wednesday the safest. Twice as many persons are killed by cars between 7 and 8 o’clock in the evening as between 7 and 8 in the morning. The motor death rate in the cities is coming down, by reason of better lighting, more effective traffic control, and better enforce ment of the traffic laws. The rate is going up in the country. It would take more money than the taxpayers would stand for to light and police a million miles of high way. The solution of the problem would seem to be the better educa tion of drivers, not so much in the alert of driving but in what might be called "motor manners.” If ev ery driver behaved on the road with the same consideration for others that he shows elsewhere, the toll of motor murders might be greatly reduced. oun i ci your cnuuren Miner at^^L moment longer than strictly necessary.

The truth is that good men are scarce. Good men, that is, in the sense of being first-rate workmen at their trades or professions, hon est and upright, in all their deal ings with others, independent and self-reliant, industrious and sober. The highest tribute one man can pay to another is to say "He’s a good man.” Of how many in any community can that be said? How many farm ers are really g$od farmers? How many workers in any trade can be relied upon to do an honest day’s work, and do everything as well as it can be done? From all over the country the complaint is heard that good men are scarce. Industrialists are saying that there is a real shortage of competent workers, in spite of all the talk about unemployment. Good men are seldom unemployed and never for long. Public attention has been di rected in these recent years to the plight of those who, for one reason or another, have not been able to earn a living. It might be a good idea to pay a little attention to the good men who have got along without calling for help. They are the "forgotten men.” Maybe there are a lot more of them than we realize. They are not heard from so loudly as are the second raters and the no-goods.

NO ARGUMENT WANTED Mrs. Wimpus: John dear, would I you marry again if I were to die? Wimpus: Now, Mary Ann, let’s I not start an argument. Await President’s Plans ed. In the fact of demands by la bor leaders for Federal wage ana hour regulations, Mr. Roosevelt has not committed himself. The possi bility of seeking enlargement of Federal power by constitutional amendment was as much in the ait as ever. White House advisors were div ided in their hopes and expecta tions. One group would have the President seek merely to consoli date the policies of his first ad ministration. Another would have him project his program farther to the left without pause to learn the Supreme Court’s attitude toward the Wagner labor act the social se curity act, Federal encouragement of municipal power projects and other fundaments-1 c of his policy. Those who know Mr. Roosevelt well incline to look for a middle course. He took the massive No vember vote as an indorsement of foundations laid. First, apparently, will come an attempt to rivet those PMBi foundations. Adjustments of details in the se curity act can be expected to pre cede any major extension, such as applying the pension section to more working classes. The prin ciples of the tax on corporation surpluses is considered in the law to stay, but relief may be under taken for debt-burdened corpora tions. Second, a gradual building on the foundations in an attempt to remove the paradox of widespread unemployment at a time of recov ery and to assure a steady farm in come is in contemplation Post master General Farley gave the hint this week when he predicted the next four years would bring "valuable contributions to govern mental reform.” THEATER SALISBURY, N.
