car crossing the line it certainly gave me a shock again he ventured into the road and this time he crossed in safety all smiles he essayed to return across the zigzig lines he got half way and then stuck first a saloon car and then a taxi made him finish his hazardous trip with the usual hop skip and jump of the welltrain ed jaywalker many crossings seven times altogether mr hore- belisha ventured along the sanctu ary lane trams and busses pulled up sharply to let him through al though their drivers looked daggers private car however seemed to enjoy seeing how nearly they could miss

basic danger in it which far transcends that possibil ity i ho danger that trial by police should replace trial ky the courts the presumption in tho former case being that a man is guilty whereas in the courts he is presumed innocent un til his guilt is proved the shooting down of criminals or supposed crim inals when they can be captured alive and dealt with in a court of justice has nothing to
