POLITICS HURTFUL TO BUSINESS.
Politics and business do not mix
satisfactorily to either party.
'Therefore the adjournment of the
fflasl Congress on March 4th was
welcomed alike by business men

It is a dreadful fact that a large
percentage of motor car drivers
daily violate the road laws of the
states, munieipalii ies ancl roads.
No day passes during which
careless driving does nut cause
death or serious personal injury in
this state.
JDven the larger cities are not
exempt from il oadful casualties,
though t he laws are sufficient, if
obeyed, to prevent collisions.
Too many drivers seem to think
that the road rule is or should
be: ‘ ‘E very man for himself and
the devil take the hindmost. ’
At railroad grade crossings,
sharp turns on public roads and
thoroughfares, speeding is fre*
quenlly a position and the road
signals are almost entirely ignored
In the small towns and villages
the drives seem to have forgotten
if they ever knew, that law pro
vides that a signal is required at
each street crossing or corner. If
the signals required wore given
promptly, collisions would bo ex
ceedingly rare,
