DEATH HOLDS THE STEERING WHEEL
Death, destruction and tragedy are riding the highways of
Texas this year more than ever before, one gathers from the
accounts in newspapers day after day, almost without inter-
ruption. If you are a cautious driver, the man behind the
wheel of tho approaching ear may bo your mortal enemy,
even though he bo a stranger whom you have never before
• encountered. If you are not mindful of your responsibilities
and tho proper courtesy of the highway, you have been trans-
formed into a fiend to prey upon the other fellow.
Is sudden death on the highways an evil that necessarily
t must accompany progress and our search for speed t It is
impossible to pass this problem off so lightly. This country
must face it squarely, and it has gone to find a satisfactory
aolution, even if it reach tho point of law that no custom-built
automobile may be manufactured to run more than 60 miles
Sunken driving, dangerous speeding, careless control, all
are opposed to the very constitutional rights of the people-
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. So long as speed
maniacs are allowed to roam the highways, those rights can-
not be guaranteed to any individual. No driver has the right
to go into any neighborhood, whether it is down his own city
•treet or through a distant county, and endanger the live*
of the people he meets. When violation of this code is scorn-
ed by the people; when they demand of their law enforce™
that persona who thus encroach upon their constitutional privi-
leges be apprehended and severely punished, just aa we would
fight to a finish against the thief who creeps into our homes
under the protection of darkness and takes our property, ready
to anuff out our lives if we resist him; when we brand the
highway demon Public Enemy No. 1 and the lowest form of
criminal, then will we begin to control the most serious threat
to American life, and will our children learn the principles of
k'^It^has been said that we have 90-mile-an-hour automobiles
on 60-mile-an-hour highways, driven by 30-mile-an-hour mo-
torists. It will take years and millions of dollars to improve
the highways, but we can bring the other limits closer to-
other by education and proper punishment for . the or-
tenders.

A LONG TIME AGO IN HEREFORD
(From The Hereford Brand,
September 15, 1905.)
R. N. Mounts and J. H. Kel-
ley had delivered to Fagan and
Wright of Kansas City, 622
yearling steers at the high
figure of $19. This was esti-
mated to be the best herd sent
from Hereford, and the price
broke Panhandle records for
high.
Farmers and ranchmen of
the day did not wait until the
first blizzard to lay in sup-
plies of food and fuel, as moat
of them coining to town took
out loads of groceries aud
coal.
More than 30 carloads of
cattle were shipped out of
Hereford the preceding week.
R. A. Tynes and wife had
gone to Mesquite, where he
had accepted work in a drug
store.
Geo. W. Eagle had sold his
section of land a few milca
east of town to M. C. Rogers
at $5 per acre.
Investors from the North
and East were flocking to this
region, and land sales were
booming.
(From The Hereford Brand,
September 17, 1915.)
From all sections of the state
came congratulations to the
Brand relative to the splen-
did 32-page edition of the pre-
vious week.
Amarillo was making a big
fuss over the fact that she in-
tended to feed 20,000 people
