A QUEER Court Ruiinu.

Burlington Post: The Iowa SUI
preme court has announced a decision
In suit brought by a woman for
damages by reason OF runaway team.
The woman was proceeding along the
public highway driving the team when
a rapidly moving automobile frighten-
ed the horses. The court holds that
the woman is not entitled to damages
for the reason that she was holding
the lines In her left hand In the
most respectful manner we ask the
honorable court how it would have the
woman hold the lines? Certainly not
in the right hand A good driver
holds the lines in his left hand al.
ways and in every instance. The right
hand Is busy with o her things-has
important functions: The right hand
is the whip hand. the sword hand, and
never is employed in holding the
lines or reins. We trust that the
honorable court will appreciate that
this is protest. not criticism, Are
the days of horseback riding and
driving 60 far in the dim past tina,
the art-the great art-of holding the
lines in the left hand while the right
hand hangs free and ready for any
emergency, is wholly forgotten?
