Sheriff L. II. Kemp.
The sheriff had just received re-
ports from several of the officers on
duty yesterday and last night 10 the
effect that there had been practically
no violations of the speed limit on
the county roads yesterday. In only
one instance was there the shadow
for a complaint on the part of tho Of
tlcerS and this was on a short stretch
of straight road, where the chauffeur
was evidently speeding it up" Just a
little beyond the limit of twenty miles
an hour.
There are three kinds Of automo-
bilists,' stated the sheriff. The first
is the sensible gentlemen, who goes
out in his machine for his own pleas
ure and with a sense of the rights OF
others than himself TO the roads.
This class never gets into the courts.
Ihen there Is a second class, CON
slStlhS OF JoN-rlders and speed mani
acs. These are absolutely reckless and
dangerous TO the public, and should be
suppressed. The third class is the plain
simpleton, who hasn't sense enough TO
run an automobile or drive an OK cart.
he is also dangerous. but without
knowledge Of the fact"
Sheriff Kemp is of the opinion that
the next Legislature will have some
tnlng more TO say about the regulation
OF automobiles, and suggests what he
considers an excellent remedy for cur
ing the speed mania. 'If the Legisla-
ture VIII make Jail sentence OF not
less than ten days compulsory in cases
of conviction for reckless driving or
exceeding the speed limit. it will go far
towards breaking up the speed habit. 20
Under the present law, the sheriff
stated, IL is optional with the magis-
trate whether he fines. inhicts a Jail
sentence, or both. None Of the magis-
nave la
sentence, but if the law is changed TO
make il obligatory the convicted party
