ANTICS OF A'MoBlLE
Suggested That II Was Taking
the Swoboda System.

To the Editor OF the Democrat: j.
I stood on Market st. this morning
and watched the gyratlons of an auto
mobile, whose antics suggested that
II was taking the swoboda system for
IFS health. Its painting and pufiine
wree agonizing to hear. After delay
ing traffic for some time and terrify-
ing everything alive within its radius,
II concluded operations by proceeding
on It's way, backwards.
1t seems ridiculous that one small
man should require 30 big and clumsy
4 vehicle in which to navigate about
town, much more 80 that that vehicle
should be permitted to be a nuisance
TO pedestrians as well as to everything
else 1t encounters. A. S.
