He pronounced judgement on two persons, a man and a woman, who had pleaded guilty to drunken driving and said: “The number of defendants that are brought. before this Court upon a charge of driving while intoxicated has increased during the past few months at-an astonishing rate. The only deterrent which we have at hand is a jail sentence. A drunken driver is a potential killer, menace to all men, women and children who are upon the highway in other cars. He _ should be dealt with as such. ‘ There are cases where some extenuating circumstances exist, but they are few. Those who come -before this court must be prepared to take the consequences. A plea of guilty may minimize the sentence, but the guilty party must not expect to be admitted to probation merely on account of such plea. It must be further remembered that every conviction—upon. this charge, whether. by plea of guilty or by a jury, means that the defendants, license to drive is immediately suspended by the State, and he cannot secure another unless he puts up a very large bond, } events DP sicipeialeeaey BENEFIT DANCE FOR VETERANS SATURDAY NICHT Arranwétiehis are completed for the big dance, to be given by ner Mountain Post, Veterans of eign Wars, at the Olympia dance pavilion, on Saturday evening, May 26.
