A Warning to Automobiles

The trial which was concluded in
Philadelphia, last week, is almost
unique In this country, although many
such trials have been threatened since
the automobile came into popularity.
y chauffeur was tried for man
slaughter, and not only tried but con-
vi"ted and given is months in prison.
4 small boy had been run over during
a night ride which the chauffeur and 4
party of girls had been indulsing in
during the absence of the owner of the
machine. II appeared that the judge
| before whom the case was tried was
himself an automobile enthusiast.
Moreover, the Automobile Owners As
sociation was actively Interested in Sc
curing the chauffcur's conviction.
thinking II make an example of reck
:tss drivers.
The evidence was complicated and
50 was the testimony as TO whether the
boy took all precautions required. The
judge charged on both these points.
and every one who runs an automobile
will, if wise. heed his statement Of the
law. lie said
If the boy came to his death as the
direct consequences of this man run
ming the automobile at more than eight
miles an hour, there can be no question
OF his guilt. He is also guilty if he
WAS going faster than the circumSta an
ces or surroundings warranted. He
was bound to look to see who was on
the street. He was likewise bound to
do what any man with good common
sense should have done. If I am run
ming a carriage or automobile and see
Il child in the street | am bound
to consider that the child may run in
to ME, and if don't take this fact into
effect I am careless. You must be par
ticularly careful in dealing with chill
dren. If the defendant could have seen
the mere fact that he didn't see does
not excuse him. He was bound to
keep his attention OH his work.
This charge is common sense and we
hope it is also good law. 1t should be
one If it is the other. The at
titude of the automobile owners in
in favor of conviction shows
them in a good light. AS class these
men deplore reckless driving and wish
o see reckless drivers punished, for they
realize that if they want fair treatment
from the public and equal rights OH the
highways they must convince the pub
lie that all decent automobilists respect
the law and the rights of others. The
should be a warning to reck-
less automobilists, not only in Penn
sylvania but elsewhere throughout the
country. We have few among the
100 or more in Maine.

Bourke Cochran Backslides.

Either Bourke Cochran has learned
something during the brief time that
he has teen in the Philippines as
member of the Taft party or else he is
playing well the part of hypocrite. AL
a banquet the other night-a banquet
at which Archbishop Harty of Manila
declared in unequivocal terms that the
story of American success is the right
est chapter in the history of the Phliip-
rines and that the american occupa-
tinn is wholly for the good OF the
isiands-Mr. Cochran was one OF inc
speakers, and his words On that ocea-
sion are enough to stagger the few re-
manning anti-imperialists VINO nave
honorcd him as their silver tonguea
spokesman.
IT. h,cLs,ides and recantS in the most
complete fashion. declaring that the
,,nited States is acting "as Gods own
Instrument in shaping the prosperity of
the Philippines" How is that for the
,,,teronce of the man whom he heard
bara in Augusta 4 year ago denounc-
ing with resounding vehemence the
whole course of the United States in
the Philippines, the man who has de-
clared that our government is playing
the part Of a freebooter country seek
ing plunder wherever it is strong
enough to strangle the weaker nation
and to add to the shallow glory of /
petty Republican politician" There is
nothing half way about Cockran's de-
fection. Wiping his bitter abuse of the
Mckinley administration off the slate,
he begins anew by declaring at Manila
that for the first time in history
country has been annexed for its own
benefit instead of for the tcneIit of the
country annexing it."
And not content with saying this, he
went on to declare that he feels "a
most profound confidence in the success
Of the American destiny in the Philip
pines. / shall earnestly study and as
sist in the urselfish exploitation and
development of the islands under Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Taft"
This looks rs though BCurke Cochran
were actually going to work with his
own government instead of with its
enemies. a most shameless course to
pursue from the point of view of the
anti-imp;rialists WITH whom he has
hitherto been actively associated. He
has placed himself squarely with those
"oppressors" against whom he has
howled on the stump for nalf dozen
years; suuarcly with those abandoned
| enemies of human freedom Mckin-
ley, Roosevelt and Taft. The anti
| imperialists should promptly call an in
dignation meeting AMI blacklist his
name, and when they adjourn they
should lose no time in taking n trip 10
the Philippines themselves to learn
some of the things that Bourke
Cochran has evidently been learning.
