A STREET CAR DEATH TRAP.

EVERY few weeks the wires bring a
story of someone, in allghting
from a street car being run down
by an auto as they crossed the track
behind the car. While, at first blush,
It would seem that the street car
company Is not to blame for this,
there can be no doubt that in a suit
for damages arising from an accident
Of the kind mentioned, that the street
car company should be made the real
party defendant, and would be the
one whose officers should be prosecut-
ed criminally. Why? You ask. Well,
because the managers Of the company
deliberately set the trap that causes
these accidents, and they alone are
responsible for them.
Here, in Salem, as well as else
where, the left rear door Of every pas
senger car Is closed, so that the pas
senger is compelled to alight on the
right side. He has no choice about 1t
and this is where the companies set
the trap. The passenger alighting on
the right side Of the car, is exposed to
double risk. In the first place, in so
alightlng, unless he gets off back
wards" he alights with his back to-
ward the traffic-teams and autos,
which on the right side Of the street,
are going the same way the car is.
Then, II he would cross the street, as
he passes to the rear Of the car, the
traffic is coming from towards the
front Of the car, and he Is unable to
see anything until he steps out from
behind the car, and II he does this
carelessly, and without looking he is
always taking a chance Of being run
down by an auto. That is the way
these accidents, as a rule, occur--be-
cause the company managers compel
passengers to do a perfectly asinine
thing; get off the wrong side Of the
car.
If they were permitted to alight on
the left side, they would be facing the
traffic as they did so, and not be in
danger Of being run over from behind.
Then, If they passed behind the car,
the traffic on the other side, going the
same way as the car, every vehicle
could be seen before the tracks are
crossed and there would be no autos
plunglng down upon them, hidden by
the car Why this foolish, asnine, nay
criminal, rule is followed by the street
car company managers, is beyond all
finding out--but one thing is certain,
and that is that some lawyer, some
time in bringing an action for damag-
es for death or injury to some street
car passenger, as outlined, from be-
ing run down by an auto, will place
the blame where It belongs, on the
street car company, that deliberately
sets the deadly trap for Its patrons,
and does 1t apparently cold bloodedly,
for 1t could as easily permit its pat
rons to get on and off the left side of
the car, which they could do without
any extra risks, and no trap set for
them In crossing behind the car as to
use the right side steps for this pu.

might cause them to change the meth
od--and this they will surely get once
