\ fine OF $500. with the alternative of
$50 days in the workheuse, sounds like
i severe penalty 10 infict on a reckless
chauffeur. but little reflection will
convince most people of the wisdom of
the courts action. Safety of very
large proportion of the inhabitants of
the city is dependent TO great extent
upon the men in control of the thou
sands OF automobiles speeding about
the streets The highest standard of
character and efficiency must be main
tanned among the men upon whom
such great responsibility rests, and
when reckless disregard of life is clear

The American Automobile.

There arc certain kinds OF CONNER
cialism of which the United States
hears itself accused with smile.
Among these is its ability to manufac-
ture automobiles with such economy
and efficiency that the people of this
and other nations will not only de-
sire them. but buy them. How well the
United States has succeeded in this
phase of trade is well shown in the re-
port made public yesterday by the De-
partment of Commerce, showing that in
1913 foreign nations bought $4,000
American-made automobiles
Foreign manufacturers, it is ,gencr-
ally said, have far excelled American
manufacturers in the designing and
making of internal combustion engines
which are almost exclusively used as
the motive power of automobiles. For
both automobiles and aeroplanes the
products of the European makers have
had precedence in expert opinion. But
for the automobile that the average Cit
izcn buys the American goods would
seem as good as any. Canada was the
largest single purchaser OF the $1,000
machines exported; Great Britain
bought the second largest number, and
Oceania the third But to every con-
tingent, in every cline, almos: in every
nation, the American automobile is
struggling over bad roads or speeding
over. good. The American manufac-
turcr has not only made fine automo-
biles, but made them cheap. That is
a triumph of commercialism.
The development of the automobile
industry in relation to foreign trade is
not less admirable than the excellence
of the output. In 1908 the exports
amounted to only 100000. For 1913,
the exports were valued at 100000.
Uncle Sam will not object to being
twitted for commercialism as long as
his profits arc as considerable as these
