Owing TO ia sdyised actions by some OF

there 10 q sirotg fceiiugof resentment, 10
hi. part Of the country and Il Ia improbable
that any considerable body ofisu,omobilis,s
will be Invited to make similar Walt 10 the
near future,
Many accidents and narrow escapes from
reckless driving have not been reported,
bu, from reliable reports many OF the driv-
,rs acted with brutality,
The Manchester | gion, ore Of the most
Influential pspers 10 the State and one here
totore friendly to Automobiles, prints the
following edltorisl to-day
We could not say anything about II uu'
~ It bad happened. To talk about II 10
advance would msnifestly be to ofier battle
TO a possible shadow. But now that the
procession has passed and the tour OF New
Hampshire by the Automobile Association
OF America Ia completed II 10 fair to CON-
ment on 1t, To our mind the whole thing
has been an almost entirely unmitigated
nuisance. The lives and property OF a per.
fncily helpless people have been seriously
mensced, the laws have been willfully dis
regarded, and for no earthly reason other
than TO sford amusement to lot Of perfec,
strangers. There seems no reason at all
Why tho people Of this community should
be subjected to such things
Automobiles are good things, and some
Of the people who own them or drive them
are o. to be trusted with them, but to tell
the thing exactly as II 10, most Of them are
not. They seem to think that they have
some right to use the road to the exclusion
or discomfort of other people, to say the
least. A few entirely disregard the danger
they cause to the lives and property Of the
people who live here. who builds the roads
they are using and who keep them In re-
pair for their own use.
Take the record OF their run from Con-
cord here--cigh,een miles In forty min
utes. Have they any right to do such a
,hingi Take the let Of accidents they caus,
ed between Concord and Nsshus, An ,old
man thrown out and bis arm Injured 1t
suncook, while bis horse ran away and
smashed the wagon and harness TO bits at
Nashua, or near II, q collision with lum'
Der wagon, and the driver Of the Automo'
bile hurt; near NMhuA horse on NOW
,ng machine badly frightened and cut up.
All these things without redress offered or
,b,siuAblc from the msn who owns the
machine.
we say 1t Ia an outrage, and II these
people think Of coming here another year
We hope the law against speeding and
scorchIpg will be promptly and vigorously
enforced against every offender. Let few
Of them STAY In jail for two or three days
and all the rcst OF Us will be the
better for u. We like automobiles. We
believe In them ard erJ,y them. We hope
they have come to stay, and we see where
