THE RIGHT OF WAY

Uatil a thorough investigation shall
have been had, it will be difficult TO fix
the blame for the death OF the three
year-old child run down by an electric
car on Saturday evening. II is impossible
to believe that the motor man was will
fully obstinate or ciiminally careless
without mental effort which true charity
will not allow. It would be a human
fend who would not stop the progress Of
car an hour, If necessary, rather thar
eudanger the life OF an innocent.and help
less child.
While that is true and while we would
not do the unfortunate motor man In
question The least injustice, we must ssy
that the employees in the car service
sometimes fail to appreciate the fact that
passengers at the crossings have the
right OF way The safety Of human life
should be Of greater Importance 70 them
than the maintenance OF accurate
schedule time by their cars. One life,
Que limb, of one single citizen is Of more
consideration 60 the people than that the
cars should ever run on schedule time
during an entire year.
The motor men should be instructed by
the company officers that the charter,
though wonderfully liberal. still does
not grant absolute control over lie aud
property Of tie citizens. If passenger is
not agile enough to get out Of the way OF
a car he may not be punished with may
hem or death at the option of the motor
man.
The motor men must do their duties at
the risk Of losing time and having their
salaries locked, not at the risk Of the
lives and limbs of passengers who are
not acrobsts.
