FORD CARS WILL REGISTER

Manager Werthelmer Receives Motif
cation That This Will Be
Checking Station.

Sim Wertheimer, local agent of the
Western Union Telegraph company is
in receipt of a letter from J. Fitz-
patrick. superintendent of the Cleve-
land, Ohio division of the company,
which states that the Ford Motor Car
Accompany of Detroit has entered two
cars in the transcontinental automo-
bile race and that they will make this
city one of the checking places. The
cars are in charge of H. B. Harper,
Frank Kulich, c. J. Smith and B. w.
Scott In addition to registering at
the Dacres hotel as said before, the
drivers will also check in at the
Western Union offices in the city.
AS contrary to the general belief,
the contestants in this race will reach
this valley via Pendleton, and no,
over the Blue mountains. Although
the pathfinder made this route, it was
thought best to arrive in the Walla
Walla valley over the Toll Gate
road, but latest reports are to the
effect that-such will not be the case.

Wants to Die.

PORTLAND, Ore, June 4.-Three
times this morning Michael Cottell, a
prisoner in the city Jail held on a
charge of assault and battery attempt
ed to hang himself. The celebrity OF the
other prisoners prevented him. He
made his first attempt just before his
case was called to court, with a clothes
line. He tied one end to the staircase
leading to the prisoners box and jump
ed over. After he returned to hf= cell
he tried again by tearing a strip off
the bed clothes, but the prisoners stop
ped him. The third time he tied his
socks together and was in the act of
fastening one end to the bars when
the prisoners again interrupted him
and he gave it up as a bad job.

HAUNTING JUDICIAL ROBE.

Judge MCredie, sitting on the su-
perior bench across the Columbia, does
not take kindly to the requirements
Of Formally which the Washington
legislature imposed at its last session,
says the Telegram. The judge is one
of those plain democratic individuals
who believes that the ordinary dis
pensing of American justice gains
nothing from the imposing and un-
comfortable dignity of the wool sack
and the gown. The judge considers
that to resume even one of them is
ridiculous straining after false hon.
or; and plain people, without excep-
ton, hereabouts and elsewhere, will
avow with emphasis that the judge is
right
1t was a curious and unaccountable
freakishness of the legislative mind
that led to the enactment which pro-
vides that superior court judges must
wear silk gowns in open court. 1t is
evidence of that sort of legislative alb
beration which we take note of. but
do not undertake to explain, and by
reason of the one simple fact, it is
unexplainable. The idea that silk
rooed Justice is better than the com.
mon American variety is a remark .
| able departure from the simplicity Of
the Washington people who ele ted
the legislature that gave it legal ex-
preston 1t must jar the common
sense perceptions of the good people
from Puyallup to Walla Walla. and
from the metropolis of Clark county to

McCredie says in substance that it is
all tommyrot; and what Judge Nc

the veto is indeed one of the most SEN
sibYe declarations yet delivered on the
subj et of the use of the roads by the
autorA obilists- The bill proposed the
follow g section to govern the man
agement of machines on the state
roads:
Every person operating motor We
hicle on Ape public highways of this
state shall Nrive the same in careful
and prudent\nanner, and at a rate of
speed so as nRt to endanger the prop
erty of another or the life or limb of
any person; prSvided that rate of
speed in excess on thirty miles an hour
shall be presumptNe evidence of reck-
less driving
Gov Hughes in his veto message
says:
There is much force in the sugges-
ton that requirements of due. care
cannot be accurately reelected in arbi-
trary speed limits. But it must also
be remembered that in this field as in
others. a large number of injuries
must inevitably be due to mere acct
dent where negligence cannot be salts
factorily proved 1t is pubic policy
in dealing with these matters pot SIM
ply tc see that negligent persRns are
held to account, but also by reakonapie
regulation to dimin. sh the risks E pre-
ventable injury. This is soughtEo be
accomplished by speed restrict ions,
And it is still an open question w1eth
er at this stage in our progress to1ard
the wider use of these vehicle of plf las
ure and convenience it is safe to 5ely
simply upon requirement of care and
prudence, with all the difficulties that
attend actual proof of want of care"
1t is true thta the speed of motor
cars is not alone responsible for the
numerous accidents reported from all
parts of the country, and that with
careful handling a car can, as rule,
be safely run at speed above the US
ually prescribed limits. But there is
nevertheless in evidence a long record
of casualties attributable to the COM
bination of speed and recklessness, and
to the fact that at high speed a chauf-
feur, however careful he may be, cam
not easily avaid striking a pedestrian
who becomes bewildered or child who
suddenly darts out from the walk. Civ
ing full weight to the argument that
many pedestrians and drivers are care
less the fact remains that the autorno-
bile is a powerful engine, and as such
must be managed with caution in the
places of congestion and usual travel.
To eliminate the speed limit would
be to invite scorching. The courts now
have gerat difficulty in Judging as to
the responsibility of chauffeurs when
life is taken, and if there were no bet
ter guide on this point than the record
of speed above or below thirty miles an
hour the checks upon motor-man-
slaughter would be worthless.
The day may come when motors can
safely be sped over the roads without
legal limit, but that will be only when
all people are careful, all roads smooth
and curves safely cleared of view hid
ing distractions, and all chauffeurs
skilled and steady and faithful in OBJ
servance of the rules of the road I'm
til then, as Gov. Hughes points out, it
is necessary to rely upon the present
restrictions to keep the danger down
to a minimum.

AUTO SPEED AND SAFETY.

Just before the New York legislature
adjourned a bill was passed amending
the laws regulating automobiles 1t
abolished all speed limits and provided
a system of licenses taxes which. it
was estimated, would raise a revenue
OF fully 100000 for the state to use in
maintaining the highways. The meas
ure was a combination of what the
motor makers and users wanted in the
way of greater freedom of action and
what the rural legislators wanted in
the way of larger road-making funds.
Gov. Hughes has vetoed it with a
statement of reasons which will be
read with interest by all MOTORISTS and
with approval by those who do not
