Freemans alleged confession impli-

Freeman said that after the robbery
he came to Atlanta, and the next night

The Toll Paid to Automobiles.

When you read that 302 people were
killed In New York by automobiles last
year 1t Is rather poor consolation to
observe that In the month of December
after the new traffic laws went into
force the fatalities Of this kind were
thirteen less in number than during
the preceding month. Twenty-Five
deaths in December. 3o2 in the year,
an average Of nearly one a day. Is an
arpallingly high toll to pay to auto
mobiles. and 1t appears the more for.
midable when measured not In proper
ton to the total number Of automobile
drivers hut in proportion to the num-
her Of the reckless minority whose ha-
bitual method of driving Is calculated
to cause accidents and nj whose door
ara most Of the fatalities.
The plcn that an accident was I'M
avoidabie Is one that Is to be accepted
only in rare instances. Nearly half OF
the fatal accidents last year were to
children under the age Of sixteen
years. In many Of these cases, doubt
less, it might be argued that the chill.
dren were at fault, but since young
children are not to be classed ms re-
sponsible beings the responsibility for
avoiding such accidents clearly rests
with the automobile driver.
The new traffic regulations have ap-
parently accomplished something in the
direction of reducing the death roll and
they should be adequate to protect the
public from reckless driving and to re-
duce serious accidents to the minimum
possible. What is most required Is their
stringent enforcement. and above all the
prompt trial and severe punishment of
offenders by snlutary terms Il imprison-
ment. Every effort should no made
to let punishment in these cases follow
close on the heels Of the offence. The
example thus afforded would he the
more effective In discouraglng other
potential criminals Of like tendencies. .
