Forty- eight were killed in New York City alcne, The number of the seriously in- jured ran into the thousands, No novel interest atiaches to these fig- ures. Motor car fa- talities are an old story and there is 20 occasion here to re- iterate warnings or! dwell on the insane foolhardiness of the speedmania of which they are the fruit Yet the death in automobile smash-urs within a short time of three Americans of wide social prominence—Winthrop Sands, Atred Lauter- be. and J. Montgomery Sears—lends emph to one aspect of auto- “avccile mortality, the large number of victims conspicuous by reason of their wealth or position, The cars which figure in automobile death tists are for the most part high power cars, the possessions of the rich, whose ranks they are reducing more seriously than any other agency but disease. These latest martyrs to speedmania swell a list on which are the -names of Baron Bleichroeder, Count Elliott Zborowski, Prince Eugene Murat, Mr. aad Mrs. Charles Fair, Vinson Walsh, Frank Croker, a san of E. C, Benedict and Mrs, Francis Burton Harrison, They comprise only _ afew from a formidable death roll. But they suffice to point the moral of automobile self-slaughter among our first families, In particular the “death of Sears, one of Boston's richest citizens and a higher type of the American plutocrat, serves to bring home a realization of the perils to our aristocracy of wealth of this form of suicidal sport. In view of the ap- “palling percentage of fatalities, will they continue to immolate themselves on the allar of speed? The death of the Boston millionaire is ascribed to “accident.” But the collapse of a tire heated to the bursting point by the friction of a sixty-mile-an-hour pace is not accident. Sears died a victim of the speed- mania which soone: or later takes pos- session of nearly all who. own or drive automobiles. The "very qualities which make for success in American business life, boldness, ven- ' turesomeness, the * acceptance of any tisk as a part of the } game, impel the mo- | torist to throw cau tion to the winds. _ To eradicate speed- _ mania will require a | transformation of the American tem- perament. Given th: possession of a pow- yerful car capable oi a mile - a- minute { Speed, it is idle to expect the owner to to the proof, Legislatures and Common Councils prescrive penalties for reckles motoring and the motorisi responds by increasing the amount of cash carried to pay the tine. Respect tor the spirit of the law does not enter into his consideration. It is pertinent to ask what automobile associations are doing to correct an evil which they should find it to their advantage) to check, if only from self-interest, and to reduce the high death rate among their members. The governors of the Automobile Club of Amer- ica have delegated a representative to confer with the Nassau County Supervisors on “ways of preventing reckless automobile driving But fo attempt is made to prevent the race which does more than any other event to encourage automobile recklessness, the Vanderbilt Cup contest. Not one of the many minor speed contests will be abandoned. Not a chauffeur will slacken his speed as a result of the Sears fatality, or expect a rebuke from his employer. It is always for the other car that Death is lying in wait. Letters from the People.
