Lifting the "Lidn on Speed.


Lifting the ''LidD on Speed.
Judge S. e. Kendall calls our
attention to the following, taken
from the st. Louis Star. Chronicle:
The year 1905 holds one record
in which there is no pride. The
mortality among the comparatively
few persons Of wealth who can
afford big and fast automobiles
has passed all previous figures.
IL the speed maniacs killed only
themselves the loss would still be
too great. That they menace and
kill others on the highways that
belong to all cannot be endured.
Automobile accidents are not
likely to be reduced by drastic
laws against professional chant
feurs. These men do about what
they are hired to do. They are re-
sponsible to their employers, and
their employers are morally re-
sponsible to the public for their
acts.
The chauffeur is, Of course,
amenable to the laws as we'll as
any one else. But it is absurd TO
make special laws aimed at him as
a means of rendering the roads
safe.
1t is good proposition that
chauffeurs should be made to pass
an examination as to their skill
and proficiency before being al.
lowed to operate a car. But no
distinction ought to be made be.
tween the man who is hired to run
car and the man who runs one
that he owns himself. sAs much
skill should be required in the
man who runs his own car as in
one who runs another's.
The penalties applied for viola
ton of existing speed laws are ev.
erywhere regarded with more or
less amusement. The man who
can Own an expensive automobile
can smile at the payment of a nne,
whether assessed against himself or
his chauffeur.
If, however, in addition to the
assessment of a fine, the guilty
PERSONS license to operate a ma
chine were to be revoked, and in
aggravated cases the license Of the
machine itself were forfeited for a
period, the smile Of the reckless
automobilist would quickly fade
away.
In the face Of figures on auto.
mobile killing and mangling in
1905 it seems impossible that any
state in the union should fail to
adopt more effective laws for the
protection of life on public high.

They never told me the whole of the story;
but it seemed that Doris had suffered from
a hallucination as he had. She had fallen in
love, as a neurotic child of sixteen, with Arthur
Raymond the author she knew him in his
books. She had pictured herself meeting him.
and had held make-believe conversations with
him, until she fanCied-but apparently it
imaginary conversations that he had told
me of were all real they declared, and each
of them remembered them perfectly She
had been ashamed to give him her real name,
after avOwing her love for him, and of course
she had not known his, and had not identified
Edward Payne with Arthur Raymond, from
one of whose books she had adopted the name
of Violet. SO they did not recognize each
other when they met at Gibraltar; and their
love affair had failed to come to a head, partly
because they suspected their own sanity and
thought themselves barred from marriage
and partly from loyalty to illusions that they
had cherished of one another. | hope they
cherish them still
That is the story of the strangest of the
many strange cases that have come before me
in twenty years doctoring of the minds and
bodies of women and men. Some of my
scientific confreres explain it as a kind of
wireless telegraphy between two excitable
brains; others as a curious mental chemistry
of overcharged nerve-cells Won Dollner be-
lieves that it offers the clue to a new and
hitherto unsupported force which he provision
ally names neural electricity. Myself, do not
try to explain it at all. Explanation only
substitutes one mystery for another, when
you come to the dearest things of life; and
reason and science-thank God will never
account for the tugging and pulling at our
heartstrings-for the dumb, passionate voice
OF the heart.

at IS, but it now has an appendage
that is figured at sS1S and the district
court is busy deciding who owns the

The calf is the famous Amos-Gillen-

times. once in justice court at Gas
