It is not possible to blame legislaj eon beciause legislation in itself wil not produce good drivers So it had to come down to the drivers, which seemed right enough. Getting that far Mr, Hepburn put lois finger on the slow -poke driv- er and pinned the bllame on him. We think Mr. Hepburn, might do well if he were to spend a little time analyzing accidents. before mkainlg statements Now and then one does encounter ,the slowpoke driver, but not so very often. He may be a little vexatious at times according to the estimate of the too - ±Let driver. But with a little patience one can generally get away from the slow- poke. Sooner or later—only the matter of a few initiates—the open- ing pening will conte in most cases. The driver who wants to pass every other car en the road is a grehter menace, The driver who scoots up a hill andparies another car near the top is in the Same class. Both these fellows have it over the slow -poke like a tent when it comes to being a road menace, AND WHAT A PRICE !

With recent years fireworks have creased to kill enemy people. But the slaughter continues and people have eounldl other means for filling in, tate blanks on the death column of statistical records- Tanis year the Fourth Dame on a Tudsdlay se the folk started the celebration on S'aturd'ay, and after it was- all over it was found that the price was 612 2un•exals. Chief cause was the automobile which took 217 Jives. Millions went to the beaches to escape the beat and 133 were brought home— dead. It is quite correct to say there is no good reason why any of the 612 people Should have been, killed. "Slaughter' 'is admittedly a rough word an dan unlovely one, but there is no, caption open, but to apply it. NOTHING iMPRACTICAiBLE ABOUT IT There is mac& to be admired in B. K. San,diwell's, writing, but surely he stubbed lois toe in his article, "You Can't Conscript Wealth," in the last issue of Sabunday Night. He begdnis by attempting to pick flaws in ,the proposition that con- scription onscription of wealth (in time of war) sihou3d accompany* conscription of manpower, but lie devotes most of his article to arguing that makers of ntnrnd'tione should not !be dis- criminated against in, favor of other forms, of inkiiustrl'. This, of course, Is sddlesiteplping the issue. The pro- position is that wealth—not the wealth alone of munitions makers,— slhouad be oonsoadpt'ed along with the conscription of manepower; and his omty angatnvemt against this proposition is that it is impraotic- able. Mr. Sandiwe'll bnings Mr, Woods, worth, 'who is an avowed Socialist, into pals criticism; but surely it can- not be argued that it is out of the •questliou! to adopt the Soiia.list view with regard to wealth, in time of war, if we are to accept the Social - 1st view with regard to man power. Wareml moat people, horwever, talk 02 the coiia!enipltion, of wealth, they heye no idea of running the country on Socialist lines; that is, of trm.nbfenniing all wealth from private ownership ,to amble ownership, They mean, that if some mem are taken away from their homes, and Nom the ordinary opportunities of life, to it1peeiii their very existence, and receive a mere pittance while Making this sacrifice, other men shall not be allowed, to remain at home caul make fortunes from the opportunities of 'war -time, Anal, in Spite of Mr, Sandhwe,ll's, opinions!, People who taliki tbls• way are not indnidting in "rhetorical gufy," and we do riot thunk that their proposi- tion is in the slightest degree dm, practicable, Surely the people o!C Canada jGarned' eometbdng ion as eevn'omle seslee from the leer war; when the emultiry piled up an eater moue debt instead of taking the etrorxllintaaiy profits of Private trade and incturti'y to meet the ,c il1aordiinaa)y exipeneels which fell upon the Government during the war and postwar period, , it, unihappliy, war should come again, there should be, and we be- lieve there wil be special measures to peevenit eacesslve probt-magdng, and this ,whetter theer is contserip- 110 not manpower or not.
