The principle, the purpose, and the

SPEEDING SHOULD BE STOPPED

Efforts on the part of Mayor Low
rey to put an end to speeding by au-
tomobiles and mortorcyclists within
the limits of the city of Americas,
especially within the limit where
traffic is constant and where life is
endangered by reckless disregard of
the speed ordinance, meet with gen
eral approval among the people Of
Americas.
Recklessness of this kind is a con-
slant menace to life, menace that is
at once foolish and unnecessary.
There is no need whatever for either
automobiles or motorcycles to he
driven at high speed either within the
city limits or any where in the coun-
ty. 1t is practice that should be
stopped, especially in Americas.
If the danger existed only for
those who recklessly drive, it would
not so bad. Probably if few care,
less drivers were killed, it would
prove a wholesome lesson for many
others. Drivers who are so devoid CT
the simple principles of common
sense that they pay little if any re-.
gard to the demands of reason in
driving cars are probably doing all
they can in way to rid the world #
themselves. Well and good, if they
endangered nobody else.
But, of course, when this matter IS
viewed seriously, one can tell at once
that it is the province and duty of
the law in such instances to protect
such drivers from themselves as we'll
as to protect other people from such
reckless driving. 1t is time the in
sane desire for speed should be
crushed with the strong hand of reas-
on and justice.
Mayor Lowrey is to be commended
for his work in this particular. The
main trouble in enforcing the speed
ordinance here seems to be that it is
undertaken only systematically and
partially, Let it be administered and
enforced constantly and rigidly.
