"I am strongly agairfst the pari doning of men sentenced 1o jail for recKiess driving," said W. B. Cheek, president of the Automobile club. "We have got to haye safety on the streets and the only way to secure it is to bring the lesson home to the speeder." v Don't Understand Mayor. ."I don't understand what the mayor-is trying to accomplish," de clared Al C. Scott, a leader in the safety first drive being carried on by several business organizations. "Par doning these speeders simply means that the rest of the citizens must cuff.r (mm j ,r, ' mi.v Hum iucii (.ununucu recKiess ness.. When you spank a child and then fondle it you don't Accomplish your purpose. Reckless drivers should be made to serve their com plete sentence at all costs. If Mayor Smith thinks he's making friends by pardoning such cases he should know he is also making enemies." x v "Positively Afraid." "l am positively afraid to drive a car in downtown streets," said Wil- liam Pixley, chairman of the Auto mobile Trade association, "and I've VP Deen a (It sim so mar thing 1 regard been driving a car for many years. t simply isn't safe when there are many reckless anvers. Ihe only mat will stop the present dis regard for the rights of nedestrians and other motorists ' is a iail sentence. "I don't Hke to criticize the may or's judgment, but I think when a motorist is sentenced to jail by a judge! for reckless driving he should remain there until the expiration of 1 his term. If jail sentences don't ( prove effective then we must find y - some other means of stopping reck 1 less driving, but jail should be tried out first." Will Hurt Drive. "I am not familiar with any of the cases which the mayor has par-: doned," said Alvin Johnson, chair man of the Chamber of Commerce public affairs committee. ' "I think it , is. bad policy, however,, to pardon reckless drivers, under any circum stances, who have been duly sen tenced by a police judge. It will .hurt the Safety First drive which we are striving so hard to put over." Police Commissioner Ringer de clared he did not want to criticise the mayor in his action in pardoning the three men. but considered it ex ceedingly unfortunate that the pris oners were not made to serve out their terms. 1 "It's all right to think of these men's wives and babies." said Mr. Rineer. "But we shnnM alcn tdinlr of the many people who have been 1 ilt J . .. . . jJkilled and severely injured by speed up insf ana recKiess motorists, ft 'If the families of these prisoners & need care during their terms in jail. me county snouia see to tnat and keep the men in their cells until the final day qf their sentence." .Mayor is Brief. Mayor Smith was brief afid to the point yesterday when asked for a statement in connection with the exercise; of his pardoning power to persons sentenced for intoxication and reckless operation of auto mobiles. - -"Those who are running the courts ,f may do so without any interference from this office and I intend to ran W my office withQut any interference from the outside. That's all I have to say on the subject," said the mayor. ! flealty Firm Will Build f New Town North of Omaha "The Birth of a City" five miles north of Florence on the Washing i ton highway and Northwestern rail road is announced by H.
