Mr. Manners went to the Military hos pital at Leavenworth. Kansas, sev eral days before where he will re ceive treatment for leakage of the heart. Mr. Manners sold his effects to Frank Taylor who recently mov ed to Alvo from Weeping Water and who will farm the place where Mr. Manners had been for some time. Mr. Manners has not been in the bst of health for some time on ac count of the leakage of the heart, whicli was caused during the time whn he was in service during the ti.re r.f the Spanish-American war, - vd which has been giving him some trouble, more or less since that time. In treating the case the government required that he come to the hos pital there for treatment. This is more than four times as many.

Safety councils J wjth friends and looking after some have put forth noble efforts, but the matters of business. task is too big. The whole country needs to mobilize all of its man power, all of its resources, if nec essary and go after the relatively small but nevertheless deadly army of reckless and incompetent drivers responsible for such wholesale mur-. der and the maiming of our citizens.' Go after this foe as wholeheartedly, as vigorously, and with as much blood in our eyes as we went after England, Mexico, Spain or Germany, and I predict that these killings will stop within six weeks. And why shouldn't we take this step declare war on reckless drivers? and I don't mean this figuratively. Twenty three thousand lives a year! Isn't it worth it? Surely this is as great an issue as that leading to the war with England in 1775, or to the war, of 1812. At least England hadn't taken the lives of any of our citizens. Certainly war was entered Into with Mexico with less involved. It took but the urder of 266 sailors of the battleship Maine to plunge us into war with Spain, but the drowning of 1.150 passengers on the Lusit ania to precipitate us into the great est war of all times. The way is clear the elimination of the reckless driver Is the sacred and pre-eminent duty of America. Hundreds of these ruthless vipers can be plainly seen on the streets of every city in the land, driving with little regard for anybody or any thing save for the diabolical and senseless thrill of covering space as All kinds of business stationery rriTited at the Journal office.

Pick them off now from our public of travel and remove from them their engines of destruc tion. Weed them out. Punish them. Put them in stocks in the very cen ter of our cities where everybody can gaze upon the degarding countenan ces of typical, natural-born killers, devoid of every vestige of the right to associate with and liv among human beings. To accomplish our task, firm and drastic measures are essential. We will need alert armed guards on fleet motorcycles to patrol the streets and highways with authority and oders to arrest every violator of the funda mental principles of safety. We must have courts to handle these cases promptly and impartially. The fine Fines might act as a deterrent to the poor, but they mean nothing to the rich.
