LEGISLATURE from this county. will urge a
number of reforms at Annapolis next win
ter. Among other things, he will try to
make radical change in the system Of
road repairing He thinks the present sys-

THE Sum- under the head of "AutOmo-
bile Horrors" on Monday last, editorially
commented upon reckless automobilists
1t called attention to the fiend in New
York who stopped the car only when the
body of the woman he had run down clog
eed its wheels. and having tossed it in a
ditch proceeded on his way; and of the
little boy that was carried some distance
suspended upon hook in his chin. 1t sue-
gested as a remedy and preventive for such
crimes that license be revoked, and a more
careful examination into the character Of
men applying for licenses be made, before
they are issued. AS far as these recon-
mendations 90 they are all right but they
do not 60 far enough.
At sea when a collision occurs, the YES
sci must standby under the Federal law
and render assistance. A similar law
should be passed by the coming Legisla-
ture making it crime to keep on, in case
of an accident and the failure to stop and
render assistance prima facie proof of LA
bility in suit for damages. And such a
law could not be made too severe. Some
thing must be done to protect the public.
whom these speed-maniacs seem to think
are trespassers on the highway If one
or two were hanged, we believe it would
have quieting effect upon the rest.
And in this connection, would II not be
well to amend our present law in relation
to the speed of motor cars? II is unreal
sOnable in many respects and absolutely
unavailing in its restrictions. Abolish all
limitations as to speed, and provide that
the car must not be driven in reckless
manner Let the question of the reason
ableness of speed be one of fact, under all
the circumstances for the court or jury.
With straight. open country road, with
no one to kill but the occupants of the car.
sixty miles or more an hour would not be
out of the way; but in crowded street
unreasonable. Make it murder if one is
killed by recklessly driven car, and few
accidents will occur. People who own cars
and drive themselves, usually respect the
rights of others. Most accidents arise from
cars hired for joy-riders. Make the joy
riders realize that other people have rights
in the road. This should be done by law /;
if not, violence will then be resorted to.
and possibly shotguns used.
Let the coming Legislature take up this
matter and give us a standby law And
it cannot be made too severe on the care

Charged with Stealing a Horse.

Aaron Lester. who resides near Wash
ineton Grove, this county, had valuable
horse stolen from his stable some time
Wednesday night of last week, and prob
ably before he discovered his loss the thief
was under arrest. The prompt apprehen-
sion was due to the fact that in attempt
ing to dispose of the animal the guilty
person, who proved to be Alexander Gil
more, a young negro resident of Washing
ton Grove neighborhoOd, ran against the
wrong man. Early Thursday morning Gil
more approached Deputy Sheriff Mervin
Counselman, at Bethesda, and offered to
sell for $40 horse he was riding. The
suspicious of the officer were aroused, as
the horse appeared to be worth at least
$50, and Gilmore was informed he was
under arrest and would have to 60 to Rock
vile. On his way here the negro acknowl-
edged to Mr.. COunselman that he had stolen
the horse and that it belonged to Lester
Gilmore is in jail here.
