The reckless motorists and those
who are insolent both in demands and
manner to the general public are do
ing much to provoke antagonism
which viii react on the whole sport OF
automobiling, says the Baltimore
American. There are large number
of automobilists who operate their ma
chimes carefully and with due care
and consideration for the rights OF
others. who do not abuse their privi-
leges, are not only willing but also
anxious TO comply with all the pro-
visions of the law and who treat pc
destrians with consideration and
courtesy. But as In other cases. these
innocent ones have to suffer for the
sake OF the guilty. and will be power
less TO check the adverse public opin-
ion which so much recklessness and
arrogance are bound to engender. 1t
is another count against the reckless
ones that they are bringing discredit
and Ill feeling against large class
who do nat deserve either.
