Daytona, Fla, March 12.-The great s10,oo match race between Barney Old field and h1s 2o0- 0-horsepower Benz racer. and Ralph DePalma with the goo horsepower Fiat, belonging to Lewis Strang, scheduled for March 15 over the Daytona beach race course, has been called off.

DePalma is not certain that the car cannot be repaired in time for the races 10 be run st Los Angeles at the open ing of the board track, April s.
 DePa1ma has had bad luck with the car since arriving here Tuesday and his practice spins on the beach were disappointing.

Enforcement of the drive-to-the-risht laws is sn important need in Birming- ham. Not so much is it needed with the automobile traffic. the Birmingham auto fists displaying respect for this law, but with the wagon travel there appears to be either a stubborn disobedience of the law or absolute ignorance of it.
 As the drive-to-the-right laws became general long before automobiles were in- vented or before the present race of hu- mans were born, Ignorance of the law could hardly be used as a plea for com hitting this 9ffense.
 Whether Through ignorance or stub bornness tue negro drivers of wagons in Birmingham are driving on either side of the street or in the middle. just as they wish The result is that many accidents have been narrowly averted, especially at corners, an automobile passing around a corner to find itself face to face with mule and wagon travelling on the left side of the street. Such an occurrence makes dangerous situation even if the automobile be going at the slowest speed.
 It Is to be hoped that the authorities will lake this matter up and arrest all per- sons who fall to obey the law A few arrests will be sufficient to keep the wagon traffic on the right side of the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-03-13

street.
 The autoists themselves could greatly assist the officers by reporting such of lenders. The wagoners when thus brought to a full respect of the law might also further assist the authorities by reporting the autoists who pass them at a speed exceeding the limit fixed by law.
 A resolution introduced at the last meeting of the City Council provides for new speed limit and for the issu- ance of a permit to every person driv- ing an automobile. The adoption of such ordinance would undoubtedly prove 8 good thing.
 It places the speed limit at 15 miles an hour within the fire limits and 20 miles outside. An automobile cannot be driven past a horse at a greater rate of speed than 15 miles an hour, while the driver of the vehicle may, by raising his hand, com pei the automobile to stop and then pass him slowly. No automobile may pass the front of any vehicle at a greater rate than five miles an hour.
 A revocation of the permit of the person driving the car will occur In case of a conviction for violation of this ordi- nance, and new permit may not be se-

 best lawyers and citizens concerning him
 and they have in every case replied, "Oh.
 yes, a fine judge, a good man; there is
 no mistake made in supporting him." We hope our readers will remember him

In this connection the Birmingham driv- ing laws are again lax. It should be unlawful for an automobile to pass a standing street car on the right This is the law in all big cities. It eliminates the danger Of being knocked down by an automobile while alighting from car, which the passengers on electric cars now face.
 Further, an automobile nor other ve- hicle should be allowed to turn in the middle of the block in the business sec tion of the city or on heavily travelled residence streets. They should be re- quired to drive to the corner and turn on the far side
 Birminghams unusually wide streets have caused the laxness in obeying the driving laws. The old town, however, is growing at rapiu rate, and the number of vehicles which are constantly passing on her streets would cause a jamb on the streets of Atlanta, Cincinnati, Nash vile and other small towns.

 Judge c. c. Nesmith of Birmingham is a candidate for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and in another column of this paper appears an indorsement of the Jefferson county bar of his candidacy. Judge Nesmith is young, active and able. He would add greatly to the strength of the Supreme Court. He is an eminent lawyer and the strong indorsement of the strongest bar in Alabama is a sufficient guarantee that those who know him best believe in him and realize that he would be a most valuable man for Chief Jus tice. Such lawyers as are to be found indorsing him from the Jefferson bar would be influenced by no motive other than the best interest of their state, and many people throughout the state will be persuaded to vote for Judge Nesmith on account of the solid support given him by his home bar

.The Professional Chauffeurs Club of Birmingham" was organized a few days ago with a membership of over 100. The organization has good purpose and is something which has really been needed here for quite a while. It has in view the protection of the owner of the ma chine and the chauffeur alike.
 For the protection of the owner it has to do with the cutting out of 'Joy-riding, D this being one of the offenses that will bar chauffeur from membership. The club will endeavor to have proper driving laws enacted and to have chauffeurs li- censed upon the passing of a proper ex- animation. The bringing about of closer relations between the owners and chauf- feurs and the ultimate elimination of the negro chauffeur are further purposes of the club.
 Meetings will be held once a week. the date of meeting being set each week so as to not conflict with any engage ments the owners might have. For in- stance 0 big show night would allow the 1 chauffeurs as a rule a couple of hours in which to meet while the owners were in l the theatre.
 That indorsement of a $1,O0O,0OO good roads bond issue which the Jefferson l County Farmers union gave at the meet
 
 which should make every autoist in lief ferson county thrill with delight. To fol | low 1t up each owner of an automobile every chauffeur and every man connect ed with the automobile business should l get out and talk "$1, ,000,0 900 good roads | bonds issue'' for all he is worth | This kind of campaign would be pro- ductve of but one thing-success. This indorsement should be followed up while the iron is hot and in the present mood l of the farmers an election during the next | few months would undoubtedly result in an overwhelming vote in favor of the | issue
 Efforts to bring the Glidden tour through Birmingham are still being exerted by To- cal men. and there is the hope that they may succeed in including the Magic City on the itinerary Frank X.

cured for at least six months. The secur- ing of a permit would be required of own CTS driving their cars the same as of pro- fessional chauffeurs. The. resolution is q good one and will very probably be adopted by the Board of Aldermen at it's next meeting.
 Chief Bodelser acted wisely when he stationed an officer on Twentieth street to make a note of all speeders. Some 40 arrests resulted from this, and then the autoists began to act like real humans. They cut the speed down to a common sense rate. and now the pedestrians. ana even the houses facing the street have a little relief from the long-felt fear that they might be wiped out of existence at any moment by some madly driven au- tomobile.
 The narrowness of the street affords but a few spare inches between a street car and passing automobile. If the car happens to be at a standstill with the gates open 1t takes an exceptionally care- full driver to pass It.
