THE AUTOMOBILES TOLL.

A report of the coroner of Greater
New York for the first four months
of 1912 shows that forty-eight per-
sons were killed in that city by au-
tOmObile travel. Twelve persons a
month die under the wheels of the
modern Juggernaut in the American
metropolis. The report for 1911
showed that $50 persons lost their
lives in the same way during the
year.
An interesting fact connected with
this report is that only two accidents
were caused by other than exper-
fenced and licensed chauffeurs. The
report shows that safety to pedest-
rians and automobile passengers
does not depend entirely upon the en-
fOrcement of laws regulating the
management of autos.
The annual toll of the automobile

Editor the Missourian:-If a per.
son is appointed, commissioned oil
employed and he is derelict i'm his
duty, there is but one recourse in the
matter,-that of discharging him
1t does not matter who the employer
is or how the person got his ap.
pointment; if he fails i'm his duty he
is to be discharged; not after a term
of years, but now.
People as employers need many en-
plOyees to look after their interest
These persons. knowing that their EN-
ployers. the people. have no authority
to discharge them. for any reason
until a certain term has elapsed, may
or may not serve the interests of the
people during that term. The very
fact that the employer has no re-
course other than to wait until the
expiration of their term of employ
ment has a tendency to make persons
in such employment lax and indiffer-
ent to those who employ them.
If the people could discharge or re-
call their inefficient servants without
delay, the interests of the people
would be served in two ways: Per-
some employed by the people
would do their best for fear CT recall
and incompetent persons could be
promptly replaced by those more ca
