THE RECKLESSNESS OF LIFE
The Law All Sufficient if Invoked and
Enforced Impartally.

Life is of little value when it is sub
Jeeted to sacrifice by the recklessness
and the wanton disregard of every con-
sentative precaution on the part OF men
having charge OF trains, street cars, or
who drive recklessly Or carelessly
through the streets and thoroughfares.
It is not many years since that ne
gro was convicted of manslaughter tor
having run over and killed the child OF
citizen of this city There were some
mitigating circumstances in favor of the
negro, but he had been reckless and that
was sufficient.
Since then serious and fatal accidents
have occurred in Shreveport, but in ev-
| cry instance the careless and reckless
drivers, of vehicle Or car, have been eX-
onerated, and whatever legal proceed
ings have followed have been for pc
cuniary damages.
The accidents by railways of late have
been horrifying, and these with other
accidents due to recklessness, should be
stopped Somebody must be responsible,
and no matter upon WON rest the re-
sponsibility, that individual should be
held for manslaugf-er and sentenced to
the pen for term of years.
When several have been convicted OF
recklessness and consigned to servitude
| in the pen for years, there will be not
able observance of the law of safeguard
and protection, which, if not written
will go far towards protecting the rights
| of individuals which are now disregard
| ed with impunity by railroads, steam and
electric, and corporations as well as 9th
ers who assume the control over the
streets and tfloroughfares regardless OF
the safety of individuals.
