Until na tions can act within the law. il is hardly to be expelled that ali individuals will submit to peaceful means for the solving of certain questions. When, as former Governor ,T. M. Brough between the races or among the races. And we dare say, as much as we may regret it, that as long as there is rape and other wan tnn crime there’ll be lynching. And we dare say also that when those who preach so fer vently against mob violence start preaching as earnestly against crime as a cause, mob violence will subside. And for our northern friends, they should have intelligence enough to realize that they are, by their vcrv acts, aggravating a bad situation. Ad vice and instructions coming from a hot bed of vice, corruption and crime simply do not carry weight. Let those elements in the North clear their skirts of their multitudin ous sins before they travel southward to be little an entire people for isolated infrac tions of law and order. “1 on tlr! ) our l.i fr" 40.000. 000 automobile drivers, some good and some bad. 140.000. 000 pedestrians, including the very young, the very old. the lame, the halt and the blind. 34.000. 000 automobile;-, .some new, some old. and many ready to tail apart. 3.000. 000 miles of highways, with many a hazard in ( very mile. Add all these together and you have America's traffic lott< ry, a complex game of life and death in which each one of us, will ing or not, must have a hand. Last year. 33.900 were killed and more than 1,300.000 injured in U. S. street and highway accidents, according to figures compiled by The Travelers Insurance Com panies. It was a year' in which most of us did not yet have that new car and those new tires which which to drive as frequently, or as fast, or as far as we might have liked. But lkr .'

They didn’t pause to consider the risk be cause they didn’t expect to lose. They did Jose. What of this year? This month? Today? Some will lose because they are willing to take a chance, no matter how great the odds. Others will lose because they have not learned the game well enough to play it safely. Your stake in this letters is high. It is up to you to make certain you do not lose. s > '■* tgj Remember this: when you gamble in traf fic, you bet your life.
