RECKLESS automobile driving still con-
tinues and fatal results are recorded. In
Newark, on Friday, an automobile ran
over and killed man, and the driver did
not stop to see what had happened but
continued through one of the crowded
streets of the city at rapid pace. For
tunately the number of the machine was
taken and punishment will be melted out
to the occupants. 1t Is reported that the
men were all under the influence of liquor.
This, however, will tend to aggravate the
offence. The laws on the subject of fast
driving are sufficient In number, but there
is none to regulate the speed of machine
occupied by drunken men. 1t does seem
necessary that some stringent measures be
taken 80 enforce the statutes on this sub
ject There are arrests in some localities
but the matter is not given general atten-
tion. 1t is an almost daily occurrence to
see automobiles driven through the streets
of Mount Holly at rate far beyond that
sanctioned by law. Yet if you speak to
the owner of a machine with reference to
tn at point he will answer that he does not
think he runs too fast, or else will tell you
that no accident can happen from any act
of his, as he always has his automobile
under control. If arrested he pays fine
and laughs TO think how easily he gets off
A few imprisonments. confscation of ma
chimes or revocation of licenses, would
have wholesome effect.

the same time there comes the report that

There has been much complaint about
this road and accidents have been numer
Gus since it was changed from steam to
electric power. 1t is claimed that there
are not sufficient safeguards thrown around
the third rail either for the public or the
employees. This, tit is claimed. is unjusti-
fable, as the third rail 10 Used in other To-
calities with sufficient safeguards and

Commission will be in good season as
there is no doubt that the third-rail sys-
