In New York, one day last week,
500 auto drivers were in court
in one day, the police having
taken a spasm of virtue to stop
reckless driving.
On the other hand, the vast
majority of auto drivers would
sufTer greatly for even a minor
injury inflicted by their careless
ness. There are those who have
felt deeply grieved that they had
injured some dumb beast by care
less driving. Such would never!
forgive themselves if they by any
untoward accident took the life
of a fellow being.
Let the streets l^e made safe
