The Night Schools

There is a lot OF sense IN the Tacoma night schools.
Hundreds of people who can't go to school in the
daytime but who can go at night have fine oppor-
tnity OF learning useful things. 1t is an opportun
ity which was lacking in the early days. student
going to school now can learn manual art cooking,
millinery sewing, languages and take up many 9TH
er useful subjects
The night school students might have devoted
their evenings to cards, skating, dancing and other
forms of amusement They might have stayed at
home to make doilies and fudge and gimcracks of
earthly USE Instead they are studying useful sub
jects and learning useful subjects and learning USE
full things.
It looks as if the time will soon come when the ex
cuse, 4lack of opportunity" will be dead letter.
The night school is sure filling much felt want-a
place to educate those who haven't the time during
the day.
Closing Of banks and saloons on election day
ought to remind folks to go to the polls. But per-

THE SPEEDING AUTOIST.

An automobilist, speeding in resi-
dental district in New York, knocked
over a nurse and child. 1t is probable
that they will die. The occurrence of
street accidents in American cities
would be far too common for comment
were it inevitable. But, in point of
fact, authorizes in such cities as Lon
don have proved that a partial cure is
possible by stringently enforcing the
traffic regulation laws.
In the streets of the London metrop.
oils there is no speed limit. But woe
betide the driver who speeds in a
thoroughfare to the danger of the pub
lie. Homicide is the invariable charge
consequent on fatal accident, and
conviction means Imprisonment. But
fine and Imprisonment also follow
charge of reckless driving, even if no
accident has occurred.
In New York and many of our other
cities rigorous traffic laws are on the
statute books limiting the speed of
automobiles. But, like many another
law, it is looked at and then laughed at.
The motorist goes on his way. If an
accident occurs it is said that the
victim stepped in front of the vehicle,
and he is seldom there to deny it. Or,
perhaps, the brakes are blamed as in
this instance. Anyway the driver
usually goes to kill another day.
1t is to be hoped that this last acct
dent will be made the subject of fair
inquiry. The validity of the plea that
the brakes refused to work is open to
grave doubt. A railway company
which ventured to run an engine which
had not been properly examined GER
tainly would be held responsible for any
accident resulting from it's negligence.
A chauffeur also should be held respon-
sible if he has not carefully inspected
the safety appliances on his vehicle. -
