useful a man 10 the far west and the
whole country to be censured. II he

Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin:
Seven people suffered death one Sat
urday recently as the result OF auto
h.oblle accldents-three In the speed
tests OF indianapolis, where four
others had been killed during the
week; two at New Brunswick, N. j.;
one at Chicago and one on the road
between Milwaukee and Waukegan.
Most OF the automobile fatalities are
due to speed. The automobile run
ming at high speed is always men
ace to others on the road. 1t is also
menace to the occupants, because
the sudden bursting of a tire or fail
ure Of the steering gear may over
turn 1t or bring about a collision.
High speed In cities is insanity and
should not be attempted by automo-
bilists or tolerated by authorities
The insatiate desire OF motorcyclists
to run ut high speed on city streets
should be repressed.
