Murder by Motor Cars Every day it takes place—murder by motor car Some days a dozen murders by this mew and means take place in as many parts of the country. It is a shocking thing It calls upon every driver of a car to take thought lest he join the ranks of killers tomorrow, The man who runs fifteen miles an hour w run only ten, is a potential homicide If he runs twenty-five miles an hour except under excep tional conditions, he is a potential homicide He is a potential homicide if he drives any car any where at a speed which would prevent him from stopping in t to prevent the striking of any moving vehicle or person emerg ing from any cover anywhere along“the road This is the only rule which a man can adopt to save him- self from possible homicide. If it be a city street, the driver is a potential killer if he drives fast enough to make a collision even remotely possible If it is at a crossing he is guilty if he drives so that any foot Passenger can possibly get under the wheels before he can Stop. He cannot place any of the blame on others—unless his own car is absolutely under control. He must be able always to prevent his own speed from injuring anyone If there are weeds by the roadside, he must expect that a child will suddenly step from them into the track. He must go so slow that he can stop and save that child. If it is a cross-roads even in the most deserted countryside, he must expect either a pedestrian or a horse-drawn vehicle, or another motor car to emerge from the trees just as his car reaches the crossing. He is a criminal if he guesses that the way is clear and dashes across. He is a criminal unless he knows. In other words, the driver of ‘a motor car is a criminal unless he so drives that a would-be suicide, secking seli- destruction, would always fail to. find it under his wheels. This is a strict rule, a doctrine of construing every chance against the motorist—but it is the only just one, the only safe one. The law gives Tom, Dick and Harry the right to drive the most powerful projectile of modern times through crowds and along roads. Tom, Dick and Harry cannot complain if the law and public sentiment hold them guilty of homicide if they fail in making absolutely sure that cven the most careless user of the highway is saved from death and injury deadly here he should 1 PROBABLY the first timg Roosevelt ever waited for the Taft family occurred at Cleveland last night, when the train on which he was returning to New York was held up for 25 ~minutes, until Mrs. ‘Taft arrived to board it from Cincinnati Must have been a novel experience for the colonel.
