he First Duty.

The figures of persons killed and in
jured on our public highways by auto
mobiles speak loudly for action. There
were eleven killed and fifty-seven in
jured in this city during the month of
February, according to the statistics
kept by the National Highways Pro-
tective Society. And common obser-
walton confirms the reality of the dam
ger indicated by the records. In plain
truth the peril to pedestrians is increas-
ing rather than decreasing on our
crowded thoroughfares and the end is
not in sight. There can be no question
that something must be done to meet
what is fast becoming an intolerable
situation.
First of all, it seems clear that the
law should be clarified so that the pub
lie authorities know what weapons they
have. The conflict of opinion over
the Callan act and its application to
the city ordinances is notorious. We
suggest that before any radical step
is taken the simple process of clarifi-
cation be accomplished. Let the old
ordinances be repealed and a new ordi-
nance substituted. The general pro-
visions of the Callan act might well be
tried out before any more extreme
regulation be attempted,
At least, the authorities should be
given a clear and unambguous law
wherewith to work. If with such aid
they fail to cope with the speeding,
more stringent legislation can be passed.
But the first duty of the city is clear. -

Under the pain of being interviewed,
Mr.. Howells is genial, yet reserved.
The novelist is not given to an indecent
exposure of private opinion and is care
full in making congratulations.
Here's something don't mind talk
ing about" offered Mr. Howells, land
that is that great abomination, the
speeding automobiles and taxis. The
disregard of chauffeurs of the rights of
pedestrians is simply wicked. There
can be no better crusade than the en-
deavor to improve this condition.
Isn't it monstrous that, in town
where men wouldn't be allowed to gal
lop their horses for an instant, drivers
with impunity should speed their track
less locomotives? That's what they are,
you know, trackless locomotives. And
the situation is such that one takes his
life in his hands every time he crosses
Fifth avenue.
II am frequently shocked at the reck-
less manner in which automobiles are
driven under the elevated railroads,
where it is impossible to hear their ap-
proach. It's almost impossible to es-
cape them, shooting along like sky
rockets.
persons are being needlessly killed
by these machines. and so far as can
see there is nothing being done about
it. Of course the drivers don't want to
kill us; but when they do, something
ought to be done about it. Some sharp,
possibly punitive, retribution should be
applied. Public opinion can stop it. -
