The Automobile Peril.

Automobiles have come TO stay. No
industry is developing more rapidly.
Automobiles have become a necessity
in the commercial and industrial world.
They are, as we all know, very extern
sively used as pleasure vehicles.
No sane person wishes to impede the
progress of this great industry nor to
place any unfair or unjust limitations
upon the sphere of the automobile
But as the machines become more
numerous in our cities and their use
for business and pleasure more general,
the dangers from accident become
greater.
There is necessity of rigid legal re-
strictions in the matter of speed and
operation of the engines
AT the present rate of increase in
the number of engines traversing our
streets in all directions. the necessity
for more rigid legislative restriction
becomes more and more apparent.
Already there is speed limit legisla-
ton. There is a law requiring the
numbering and licensing of automo-
biles and other minor legislation of
that nature
There should now follow legislation

The Trend Forward.

The departure from party restraints,
the growing independence of the aver
age voter and the trend of general
betterment is ably portrayed by the
Lowell Courier-Citizen:
"What hurts most in our whole gov
eminent system just now is the feel
ing that for an avowed democracy we
are oyer-tolerant of special privilege.
1t is all very we'll 10 talk about the
freedom and equality of our citizen
ship, to point out that we have no
king. no nobility, no state church, no
favorites of blood and birth; but is it
a fact that we have no favoriteS in
the eye of our lawmakers? And is it
not a fact that occasionally we seem
to have favorites even before the calm
eye of justice? In short. do we live
up to our boasted theory of democrat
ic government as we should-and If we
do NOT, is it possible for us to do it,
constituted as we are? One must hest
tatc to deny that we can come nearer
the realization of n democratic ideal.
because pessimism as black as that
would augur i'll for our colossal expert
ment in self-govemment. But we think
there can be no reasonable denial of
the fact that in actual practice we
have been falling very far short of full
democratic freedom, and that it is the
realizing sense of this which makes
for our present political unrest.
st is a curious form of unrest. how
ever. not in the least like a revolu-
tion. but simply manifesting itself in
protest against blind party rule. II
has come TO the point where even SO
good republican as President Taft
has openly said that he could imagine
no greater menace to our government
than to have his party become so strong
that it stood no reasonable chance of
defeat Out of the night that covered
us not many years ago has come the
realization that the salvation of our
democracy is a healthy spirit of oppO-
sition. strong enough to be feared by
whoever is in power. Like it or not
as we may. the fact is that special
privilege from which we are now in a
species of revolt has grown up under
the practically unbroken regime of one
political party-and we are just now
witnessing the efforts of two factions
in that party TO deal with the result.
one striving to keep alive and. still
further to advance the power of priv
ileged interest, the other seeking TO
curb 1t and keep it within bounds. The
latter faction has seen the handwriting

The talk between the two was strict
