deaths in the first two weeks of October Lake City suffers a setback in her hope for an improved The death of a woman who was hit by a truck record afety total deaths for this year to date up to 24 as against 29 the brings for all of last year The city began an encouraging improvement in her traffic repord in Augut of this year Not a single traffic death was recorded in the city during the entire month of August The record continued until September 29 when one person was killed But for this death the month of September would have been without a fatality This in itself was an approach to a record without duplication in at least ten years Hardly a month passes in Salt Lake City the first without a traffic death The August achievement-wadeathless month since February 1933 The only other spotless months to be found on the Salt Lake City traffic record are those of February 1929 1928 1927 and 1926 The year 1925 had three deathless months January February and March Not since that time have there been two straight months without traffic fatalitjes The nearest approach to this record was the one recently achieved when the city recorded a period of one month and 28 days without a traffic fatality These figures emphasize the reality of the traffic hazard It is visible to every resident every month in the year Perhaps that is why we have come to take traffic deaths as a matter of course contributing further to a hazard which can be wiped out only by increasing vigilance If the maximum of safety were attained the deathless month would be the rule rather than the exception J'ivejnore deaths in traffic this year will bring the 1936 record up to last year’s total Since 1925 these two months have recorded annually not less than five deaths and deaths have ranged as high as 11 for the period With this experience it is difficult to see how the city can escape another shameful traffic record in 1936 There is every reason to believe that the city will equal last year’s death record if it does not exceed it Individual vigilance alone can forestall that certainty WITH s IIomeless Hurricanes Howled has no intention of “stealing on us unawares’’ with his WINTER legions from the polar region The advance guard has made an aerial foray and the boreal trumpeter has sounded a warning blast Once it was thought that Nature had erected a barricade of mountains high enough to protect the valleys of Utah from marauding gales They were effective once and we boasted of immunity from the anger of storm kings in the arctic empires of the north as well as those from the torrid realms of desert that lie southward That was before aviation became a formidable arm of military might Over the mountains the other day came alien winds that rushed through the streets and across the valleys In the guise of frolicsome gales they behaved like hilarious hurricanes Trees were wantonly uprooted utility poles were leveled and their wires tangled houses were unroofed and communication wap interrupted until the pranks of the playful trespassers grew to be rather provoking It is all right for evening zephyrs and matin breezes to come and enjoy themselves in our dooryards whenever they feel so inclined They are more than welcome But when their big brothers enter like a gang of rowdies tearing up the carpet breaking the furniture cluttering up the floors apd disconnecting telephones it is time to complain to the weather man With listening to campaign arguments and epithets watching the semaphores dodging reckless motorists and trying to decide which political party has changed most in the last ten years people have their hands full without being threatened and browbeaten by lost hurricanes running amuck Passing of a Pioneer Mother a respected citizen passes the scriptural span of three and ten and lives another score and three years the fact Is worthy of note y?hen 88 years of that life have been spent In one 'community devoted to its interests spiritual social domestic and industrial the event deserves especial attention Mary Angell Ensign a niece of Truman O Angell temple archi-te- ct and of Mary Ann Young came from Ohio to Utah at the age of 6 married Samuel L Ensign raised a large family took an active part in religious affairs and passed away at her home in Salt Lake City at the age of 93 beloved by many friends and respected by all who knew her Iij a long life of usefulness and sunshine of trying by precept and prayer to make humanity look up instead of down to go forward with hope and cheerfulness and make the best of available blessings there is something inspiring and encouraging to all who come within the radius of such an influence WHEN Political Jekyls and Hydes IS IT that many people perfectly rational under one WHY seem to change their entire natures under another? Men ancf women who are polite and considerate of each ether in a parlor or dining room become jostling boorish 'horn-tooti- ng roadhogs as soon as they take hold of the steering wheels of automobiles Intelligent citizens who are honest in their everyday dealings truthful in ordinary statements fairmindedwith competitors in almost every relation of life often undergo a remarkable transition when they enter a political campaign Spell-binde- rs on one side may accuse the presidential candidate of the opposition party of being a red because some communists say they may vote for him On the other side the charge will be made and reiterated that campaign riianagers of the adversaries have reached an ‘agreement with elements having designs on the’federal treasury It is just as unfair to accuse Candidate Landon of making a deal With the Tow:nsendites because the celebrated pensionite his aid and strength to the Republican ticket as it is for the same kind of campaigners to charge Candidate Roosevelt with seeking communistic support because some socialists prefer the new deal to the old deal Such allegations offered in lieu of arguments have no effect on intelligent voters They constitute a direct appeal to ignorance and partisan bigotry which are on the wane in this republic That old legal suggestion to “abuse the other fellow if you have a weak case” is nearly worn out in political arenas as it is in professional circles Nothing seems to develop dual personalities like those of Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde as do highway traffic and political cam- paigns ' I r ” I 1938 17 In Spotlight — of — Highlights of New York As Seen by OO McIntyre ' Politics U S I 4 By O O McIntyre By Frank R Kent As the new deal candidate supremely confident and very gay sure tha It is "all in the bag’’ swings about the country smiling upon the people joking with the admiring correspondents he tolerantly explains that none of the Indictments against his administration have anything in them whatever— just a lot of nonsense All the criticism is unfounded Every allegation is just a “political bedtime story" Some day he is going t S write an "amusing chapter” about how funny it all is This talk about his stirring up class hatred is T ’ L just a joke Jj There isn’t any I ' such thing in I the country — ‘mere Basic Facts — on — Live Issues one-sid- fv moonsis all hine It very lighthearted and bright well calculated when supported Frank R Kent by the greatest propaganda organization of history and echoed by hundreds of administration orators to convince the credulous that nothing whatever happened since Mr Roosevelt came in hot wholly sweet good and in the interest of us all To doubt that is to be evil ' 1932 Pledges He did not for example fail to redeem his 1932 pledges and keep the solemn promises personally made of reducing the cost of the government and the size of the federal machine He did not try to force upon the country a‘ scheme for regimenting and regulating every business big and little or to control the production of food on the fqrms The supreme court did not knock out these schemes because they clashed with the constitution All of the vast sums he has spent have been spent to “keep the people from starving” None of it has been wasted on radical experiments The huge debt which he has piled up was due to the emergency: none of it was to enable young intellectuals to try out their campus notions of "Making America Over” And anyway the debt is really very small considering all things And he never was antagonistic to business — that is just ridiculous He really is the friend of business along with his friends the La And look how good busi ness is now and how happy everybody is and how miserable they all were before he came in and saved civilization Concerning politics In relief he guaranteed that relief would be free from politics So of course it is These affidavits and accusations of the political use in his interests of the WPA machines are absurd just campaign stuff The idea that a great vested voting interest has been created which grows larger and costs more every year despite industrial improvement is something not to notice at all Fol-lett- es Class Hatred As for stirring up class hatred group against group that isn’t so He never used silly phrases such as “princes of privilege" and "economic royalists’ with the idea of inflaming th poor against the rich Dr Tug-we- ll did hot urge the farmers and workers’ "to surge forward against our enemies" Mr Hopkins did not proclaim to his pay roll subordinates that: "If you haven’t found out that this is a fight between the Haves and Ihe Have Nots and that we’re with the Have Nots it’s time you did” The new deal publicity has not been keyed to convey the notion that all who differ from Mr Roosevelt are wicked millionaires who care nothing for "human rights" favor child labor and the grinding down of the poor Of course that isn’t stirring up class hatred And" Mr ’Roosevelt did not sell the ' Democratic party "down the river" in Minnesota — and Wisconsin And the gifted Mr Farley has not made a special racial campaign the aim of which is to deliver to Mr Roosevelt the bulk of the negro vote in the doubtful states of the north There isn’t an enorinous new negro division at headquarters and his friend Dr Stanley High did pot celebrate Emancipation day in his interests None of these things happened They are just political bedtime stories about which some day Mr Roosevelt will write "an amusing chapter” It may be the susceptibility of the American people to "charm” is such that they want of this smug another four ignoring of the truth this unctuous assumption that in new deal leadership repose ail wisdom and virtue It may be they will swallow this sticky dose daily fed to them by new deal spokesmen It may be they will be fooled A good many smart boys seem willing to bet 2 to 1 a majority of them will be arraying Copyright 1936 by the
