Many perhaps remember the pro-
phecy of some calamity howlers
a few months ago predicting a
sad future for the Wheat City,
that many of the store buildings
would be in sore need of renters.
Do they now realize that their
prophecy has come to naught
and that since that time nine
buildings have been filled and
that the owners are now ENJOY
ing a revenue from rent much
larger than before? Also that
the majority of the newly oc-
cup:ed buildings are located on
the east side of Main street,
and to still further ridicule such
prediction that a new up-to-date
livery building is now under con-
stuction on tfat very side OF
Main street, that the imposing
brick structure-the home OF the
st. Thomas Aquinas Academy
is snearing completion, while othel
places of business may be started

cares, or DOL1.
But the individual tragedies which have
been incident to 10Y riding have startled
every large community with such frequent repe-
tltlon that the term has already become synony-
nous with a recklessness which falls short of
homicide only when 1t is suicidal.
In the public Imagination, the irresponsible
chauffeur looms up like man, drunk with
some occult drug, Selling upon a modern war
chariot of irresistible power and driving it
madly onward and onward running arnuck over
highways and byways until disaster intervenes
Those disasters nave been appaIlingIv nu-
nerous- Their various measures of blame have
ranged from cases where the chauffeur was only
slightly reprehensible TO where he was abso-
lutely reckless. Often, if not usually, 5y some
peculiar fitness of punishment, the chauffeur
has been among those who paid most heavily
tor the rashness.
Such a disaster was that which occurred
three years ago in New York, when the term

ECAUSE, reply the members of one con-
tlngent, the really excellent chauffeur
H. is like the woman for whom the Scrip
lures reserve their Hottest encomiuun-
pearl beyond price, a possession above rubies.
Because, reply others, the owners of motors
are so utterly careless of their own rights and
So indulgent of the chauffeurs privileges. that
practically no rights remain and all privileges
have become prerogatives.
Because, still others affirm, the owners
themselves are little fit TO be masters in their
own house, that their chauffeurs are largely
their dictatOrs, the nominal masters being actu-
ally afraid 10 administer the rebukes which
alone can effect emancipation from the yoke.
As for the public and the publics opinion,
great as the automobile industry has grown to
be, and numerous as are its patrons all motor
lists recognize the fact that no development in
f~-omotlon can proceed in a manner wholly
irrespective of existing eonditions and the
large majority recognize the desirability of
maintaining the entente cordiale with the pc
destrlan population at as high level as their
Pegasus will admit.
Nor is it a fact that the chauffeur. as a
class, Is given over to the tyranny for which he
is becoming notorious. Owners are far more
numerously responsible for the usurpation of
public roadways; and those chauffeurs who do
emulate their masters on their own hook are
emphatically in the minority.
But the sensational features of the esca
pades INDUCED In by those chauffeurs who are
prone to assume all the license that is forbid
den to owners have brought upon the entire
craft the odium of blame for universal tyr
amy such as has attached to no other BODY of

OF pubic and private rights is the now notori-
GUS Joy ride" already legislated against in sew
eral states with special laws made necessary
by the habitual reluctance of owners to employ
ordinary precautions and to act under the
common law.
The motor car is still toe recent factor in
our civilization for the assemblage of reliable
general statistics, except on the most haphaz-
ard scale; and "joy riding" as special factor
IN accidents, is an element that has come into
prominence so lately that there are no Stats
tics at all.
As early as three Sears ago. in New York
city, four months con parison showed twelve
killed and sixty-one injured in auto accidents
against only thirty-one killed and 322 injured
by all the horse-drawn vehicles of the great
city. and ninety-seven killed and 173 injured by
all its street cars.

SURVIVORS MERE WRECKS

The express, its way barely lessened at the
fash Of the signal light. Numbered down upon
the doomed party The chauffeur, caught up
with the wreck of his machine, was found dead
on the engines pilot when the train came TO
stop. One woman, dragged by her long auto
mobile coat 200 feet. was then dropped under
the train wheels and cut exactly IN half.
Three of the party, IN ALL were corpses
when the train halted, one of them Noyes, the
others women The rest were more or less
mangled, yet able to survive, mere wrecks of
the humanity they had been when they en-
barked upon the mad, clamOrOus dash from
the dance hall.
Owners who have had the self-assertion
and the moral courage to set their faces sternly
against liberties taken by their chsufeurs are
few. In Pittsburg, James H Beal, formerly
law partner of Senator Knox, had chauffeur
who ran over and killed boy. The man was
arrested, but could have Deen admitted to bail
