LETTERS TO EDITOR
Blind Tigers Not Only Offenders

To the Editor OF The Age-Herald:
Again wish to enter my protest against
such cartoons being thrust into the faces
of sober and law-abiding people as THE
Tiger" in today's issue of your paper.
What about the two carloads of blind
tiger whisky which are soon to be de-
stroyed by order of Birmingham judge
as published few days past?
What about Chairman Agees statement
since saloons came back that Jefferson
county is honeycombed with blind tigers?
What about a Jefferson county grand
jury's report, published October 16 1914,
that unfortunate creatures are violating
laws as to the sale of intoxicating liquors
and their locations are over or near sa-
looms" ETC.? What about report of grand
jury published in The Age Herald De-
cember 21, 1918, ]. T.. Wiley, foreman
1--WE find that many of the wholesale
liquor dealers have delivery wagons with
regular routes from Birmingham and the
these wagons are permitted to take or
ders, receive the money for the same
and the next day deliver the goods or
| dered. This we understand to be VIC
lation of the law" On August 81, 1914
a city paper said: Thirteen alleged blint
| tigers in FIVE days is the record estab
lished by Officers Fuller and Morgan
These two members of the force wer,
detailed recently to stop the Illicit sell
ing of whisky Horrors! We have bee,
told ad nauseum that "the saloonkeeper
would kill all the blind tigers" il the,
were licensed to sell. They have not don
it. So We shall soon kill all the saloons
II the whisky advertising and whisky ad
vocating papers do not think so, let then
wait few more days. Blind tigers ar
much to be preferred, for splendid rea
sons, to law-defying saloons. The for
mer hide and fear the law to some ex
tent anyhow. Respectfully,
l.. F. WRITTEN.

garded as Napoleon of finance, and
his rascality is covered by adrnira-
ton.
Referring to the record of Congress
during the last session, Mr.. Bryan
praised the tariff, the currency. the
parcel post and other laws, character
izing them as the greatest heritage
ever given the common people by any
political party.

acted" he said, "the power to decide
whether the country should have pros

ROAD RULES FOR ALL IN
NEW JERSEY LAW
State Wide Regulations Govern Not
Only Motor and Horse Vehicles
but Pedestrians.

New Jersey put in force on Thurs
day of this week what is declared to
be the first complete Statewide law
regulating all automobile, horse-drawn
and otherwise propelled wagons, and
defining the rights of everybody on the
road from pedestrian up to the driver
of the most high powered car. The
new statute s~upercedes in its express
ed provisions all ordinances of any
municipality.
The new rules are embodied in a
statute which is the result of the lab
ors of Job H. Lippincott of Jersey City,
former State Motor Vehicle Commits
sioner; George B. LaBarre, Director
of Public Safety of Trenton, and A.
ark Board of Trade, forming a COM
mission named by Governor Fielder.
Under this statute the word "ve-
hicle" includes equestrians, led horses
and everything on wheels or runners,
except street railway cars and baby
carriages, unless otherwise specified.
The word "driver' includes the rider
or driver of a horse, bicycle or mo-
t~orcycle, and driver or operator of
a motor vehicle or street car. The
word ''horse" includes mules and all
other domestic animals used as draft
animals or beasts of burden.
One of the chief features of the new
rules is the legal definition of who has
the right-of-way at i~ntersecting
streets not guarded by traffic officers.
The right of way at such points is CIV
en- to the driver of the vehicle on the
right. The law also regulates the
speed of horse vehicles, trolley cars
and other conveyances, but does not
attempt to change the present speed
of motor vehicles already covered by
the amended Frelinghuysen Motor We
hicle law.
Regulations applying to all roads
concerning stopping, turning, passing
and CROSSING are:
A vehicle shall keep to the right,
and when the improved portion of a
road is of sufficient width the vehicle
must keep to the right of such road,
except when passing a vehicle ahead.
A vehicle meeting another shall pass
to the right.
A vehicle ~overtaking another shall
pass on the left side of the overtaken
vehicle and the vehicle overtaken
shall bear to the right, and the We
hicle oyertaking the vehicle ahead in
