CARE VS. SPEED
One Point Generally Overlooked In
Regulating Operation of Autonso-
bfIcS.

Plenty of people are killed and in
jured i'm the streets by hanson cabs
and omnibuses. but nobody has ever
suggested n speed limit for those vehi-
cles. The only question in the case Of
the driver of a horse who damages
person OF property is whether he was
driving carefully. or in Il manner dan
gerous to the rest of the public. How
many miles an our he was going at
the time of the accident Is only rele-
want in so far as ii may show that IN
der the circumstances he was not suf-
ficientiy careful. The speed which
would be dangerous To the public In
front of the Mansion house In the mid
die of the day would be safe enough ut
the same spot in the middle OF the
night. So it is with any road: and
whether the vehicle Is drawn by a
horse or a donkey. or propelled by ma
chinery. seems TO me absolutely IN
material. There may he n maximum
beyond which speed may become dan
gerOus to the public under any circum-
stances. / should say that a motor go-
ing at 100 miles an hour on the widest
country road in broad daylight would
always be a danger to the public. But
whether any good purpose would be
served by laying down a universal
maximum which is never to be exceed
ed under any circumstances l e
much doubt My belief is that the pub
lie is best protected by requiring a
driver to use reasonable care, and leav-
ing him to the tender mercies of any
magistrate or jurymen who may be
convinced by the evidence that on any
given occasion he failed to do So
London Truth.

New Orleans Merchant Detained With
Nothing But His ''Nighties" On.

Because someone had stolen his
clothes w. B. Kohlman, New Or
leans merchant returning from New
York, was compelled him to leave his
Pullman berth and enter quarantine
camp near New Orleans in his paja-
mas, without shoes or hat.
He was puzzled what to do, as there
were several women on the train, and
no one was willing to loan him a suit
of clothes. He remained in camp the
required time, and after he had board
ed the accommodation train for New
Orleans a thoughtful passenger fur
nished him with trousers to match his
Daiamas.
