Doubtless this is best. The automobile
is still a newcomer to our highways. 1t
is, CT itself, however well operated, a
threat and a menace to team traffic. Ac-
cideuts are constantly resulting because
of it. A 20 or 30 or 40 horsepower ma
chine, running even fifteen miles an
hour, carries elements of constant danger
to all concerned. 1t is very right that
the operator should constantly feel the re-
sponsibiiity upon him and do his best to
avoid trouble. It is very right that be
should give preference to team and foot
traffic and, as long as he is responsible
fer the auto on the road, should be the
one to defer and oblige others, rather
than compel his will upon those he
meets. BY so doing be will improve the
situation-already much better than
formerly so that chances of trouble and
accident will be lessened and the tension
between motor and other traffic wiped
out.
