THURSDAY, DEO. 9, 1920.
For the present the eyes of the
country nre turned toward Washington
to see what the Congress of
the United Stntes Intends to do to
relieve the business depression that
Is daily costing such an enormous
sunt. That Congress Is in position to
do much to bring about better conditions
only those who are profiting
by the misfortune of others will deny.
The suggestion that the wnr
finance board be recreated seems to
have, met with general favor, but
many of the schemes in the heads
of members of Congress to bring
about better times nre not worth the
timo It takes to tell about them.
Senator Dial of South Carollnn wants
to regulate trading on the cotton exchange
in New York In an effort to
help the cotton farmer. There would
be merit In his plan if it embraced
the proposition to abolish entirely
the New York cotton exchange,
which has done more to rob the
Southern farmer of a fair price for
\ his cotton than all other agencies
combined, for there the price of cotton
is tlxcd daily without regard to
supply and demand, and the wealth
of I he South, which comes from cotton,
is thus absorbed by tills gigantic
gambling machine like a dry
sponge nhnorhs water?-with this difference,
however, one may squeeze
a sponge and recover most oft the
water It lias absorbed, but there Is
no way of recovering the peculations
of the cotton exchange gamblers;
once they have . got hold of the
Southern farmer's money, it is gone
forever.
Figures made nuhiic this week by
the census bureau : how that during
the last year nearly four thousand
perrons were killed ifv automobiles
in this country. Such an enormous
toll i f human lives, many of which
wore needlessly taken, according to
the newspaper reports, should call
for the most stringent regulatory
measures Kpon tho use of tlio automobile
and other motor vehicles In
every city, town and country district
in America. When .a citizen is fatally
or seriously injured hy an automobile
using the imhllc hlghwnys.
the driver should he immediately arrested,
hound over for trial and required
to prove absolutely that lawns
blameless in causing the Injury
to his fellow man. In the case of
death resulting from the Injury, he
should he indicted for murder, just
as other man-slayers are. After
many years of daily newspaper reading,
wo have yt to observe whore
one defendant automobile driver has
boon convicted and given the death
sentence for killing with his machine
a human being. .Many trials of men
thus accused are a mockery and a
travesty upon justice. Seemingly In
most such cases all the defendant,'
however worthless and irresponsible
he nmv be, has to do to escape punishment
hclltting Ills crime is to get
up before the jury and tell a plausible
lie about tho "unavoidable accident"?which
of course he "greatly
deplores"?and he is promptly acquitted,
even though he has needh
ssty and inexcusably brought to a
clouts a life which may have been
worth inestimably more lo society
than his own. A few legal executions
of nutomohilists for murder
would have n beneficial effect.
