VOLUME 46.20.00 .ccc0e senses coveee cvceessesseceeess NOs 16,074, THE AUTOMOBILE DAY TO COME. ‘According to a trade statement 60,000 automobiles are in use in number of bicycles were once ridden in New York City alone, The automobile has ceased to be a novelty, but has noteyet come {nto its own. When it can be bought on terms which take tt-out of the ranks of luxuries—as the bicycle was finally taken out—we shall see a Gifference in the count. We shall be then upon the edge of “the horseless age,” which we have not yet approached, By the census of 1900 there were 24,203,901 horses and colts in-the United States. nese When the automobile arrives af fts great day several matters which constitute now a plague of the times—and which are a handicap also to the automobile advance—will regulate themselves, The speed maniac will be restored to his senses—or dead. Those whom he now in his in- sanity drives to denunciation of motor cars In general will be glad be- cause, for their own convenience, the automobile has been invented and improved and cheapened. Things which the automobile -will bring about as Itreaches {ts widest popularity include these: Good roads the country over. Cleaner streets, universal smooth pavements and less nolse in the cities. ‘The closer knitting of city with country and of community with community among the farms. More and better opportunities for familles In moderate circumstances to “see the country” beyond city lines. Relief for many thousands of overburdened horses and less work for the Bergh Society. There are other betterments to come through the automobile. They will suggest themselves, They are referred to here, with those which are listed, because it is desired to impress the fact that toward the attainment of these good ends THE AUTOMOBILE ROAD RACER HELPS NOT ‘AT ALL. Everybody knows that motor machinery can be made to run a mile a minute and faster. We have our eighteen-hour trains from New York to Chicago and may yet have better than three-day trains to the Pacific. There is nothing to be gained in demonstrating that monster envines, driven by steam, may leave the comparative safety of guiding rails and make their top speed over public highways from which, for the time being, they drive all legitimate traffic. Speed madness, the Irrational lust for peril—these move the partici- in the automobile road ‘race. Hope of seeing a smash-up draws the crowd to the course. The spell of tiéath and danger {s upon all con- cerned. The conditions are unhealthy for the public and at bottom vnwholesome for the trade. To say nothing of the truth, Important in its way, that nobody has _ the right to set apart for any such purpose roads snatched from the public use. The “eliminating” race for the second automobile road run for the Vanderbilt Cup is scheduled for Sept. 23. The race itself is set down for Oct. 14. There is plenty of time for Nassau County, Long Island, to undo the treacherous work of it supervisors in diverting to private interests, for the purposes of this life-risking competition, the exclusive control of twenty-nine miles of public highway. country.
