PEDESTRIAN AND We
HICULAR TRAFFIC
Two Million Cars Now on
Our Roads

Pertinent to the widespread
discussion relative to the regula-
ton of automobile traffic through
Newark, the article "Heads Up"
and Use Corners Only" by
Frederick Upham Adams, in the
June American, is of special in
terest. The writer calls atten-
ton to the fact that two million

In the United States has created
a new question-the respective
rights Of the pedestrian and of
vehicular traffic. Mr.. Adams re-
Views the strict rules governing
the granting of a license in prac-
tically all foreign cities, and the
absence of all maximum speed
limits. He denounces the speed
laws in vogue in many of our
American cities as stupid and OBJ
solete, and worthy only of viola
ton. He says:
THE confusion which now ex-
lists in the matter of legal speed
limits is deplorable. 1t is largely
matter of local regulation, a
overlapping of enactments whose
hodge-podge of conflicting and
ken is beyond human comprehen-
sion. It. is an impossibility to
driv automobile any consid-
cradle stance out into the coun-
try without violating a score of
local laws, some of them obsolete
and stupid beyond description.
There are sections in which the
specified speed limit is as low as
eight miles an hour.
"In fact, this is the legal speed
maximum in Central Park, New
York City, and signs bearing this
warning face the police. Officers
who watch cars glide by at TWEEN
ty-fve miles an hour, and officers
who urge you to go faster if you
drop your automobile speed be,

actment, and an effort should be
made to secure a close uniformity
in all parts of the United States
These laws should differentiate
between speeds allowable on city
streets and on country roads. II

hundreds of thousands who lined
the streets of the metropolis!
The plain truth of the matter
is that most accidents from auto
mobiles are not caused by reck-
less driving at high speeds, but
by careless and inexperienced
driving at rates of from five to
fifteen miles an hour on wet and
slippery pavements, around sharp
curves, down steep grades, and in
other places where disaster at

clutch or brake.
"The average touring car with
sufficient weight to hold it to the

control at thirty-five miles an
hour by a capable driver on we'll

try roads, but forty miles is in
the danger zone.

all local enactments, would have

three to ten miles an hour. Speed
on urban streets, up to a certain
maximum rate, has practically
nothing to do with safety.
'The modern automobile in the
hands of a capable driver is un-
der perfect control at all speeds
up to thirty-fve miles an hour
assuming that there be clear
road ahead for several hundred
feet. Such conditions do not pre-
vail on populated streets. Prac-
tice has demonstrated that from
twenty to twenty-five miles is a
safe running rate on streets fair
ly free from traffic. This is the
rate maintained every day in the
year by tens of thousands of eau
tious drivers in all parts of the
United States.
"The vast outpouring of auto
mobiles on the occasion of the
Aston Cup Race at Sheepshead
Bay, New York City, on October
9th, 1915, gave an impressive il
lustration of the truth of my
contention that it is safe and
practical to operate automobiles
on city streets at speeds up to
twenty five miles an hour. The
legal speed limit in New York
! City is fifteen miles an hour. 1t
has ever been ignored both by
drivers and municipal officials
and properly so.
con this Saturday morning not
fewer than twelve thousand auto
mobiles began to move from all
points of the compass to the
great two-mile oval at Sleeps
head Bay. Thousands of cars
swarmed in. Thousands of po-
lice stood on guard at the cross
ings of the main tnoroughfares
which bore the hulk of this tre-
mendous migration Of automo
biles. All Of these officers knew
that the legal speed limit was ff-
teen miles an hour. Did they en-.
force this law? They did not. On
the contrary, the laggard who
ran his car at the lawful limit, OF
even at eighteen or twenty miles
an hour, with clear space
ahead Of him, was waved on.
"Once across the bridges span,
ming the East River and on the
broad boulevards of Brooklyn the
cars swept along at speeds OF
from twenty to twenty-five miles
an hour. The return, under the
direction of foot and mounted po
llice, was made at equal speeds
whenever possible. 1t is doubtful
/ if such a hegira of motor car:
ever before was witnessed. The
average mileage of these $4,000
cars through the city streets wa!
not less than forty miles, or ;
total of fully 100000 miles fo1
the automobiles participating.

TAKING THE TARIFF OUT OF POLITICS

There is a growing belief among the people of the United States that the ar question should be taken out of politics. of which 1t has been the foot bah for sixty years As matter Of fact 1t should never have been made matter for political partisans to de. eide It is too important question: 1t too arreachng in it's effects upon the people be disposed of by poll tcal majority in the Congress- The day of extremely high protection has passed never in the United States The tarn benehciaries may well understand this at once neither is free trade practicable however beautiful :t may be theory So the differences between the two extremes must be adjusted and rational scientific tariff enacted.
 The close of the European is likely to result in
 complete readjustment of economic and industrial dtons both in the United States and In the principle European countries and If the United States Is to avoid the difficulties which such readiustment will inevitably bring no time should be lost in making preparations to meet the drastic changes which to come within a year or two at most.

 Americans believe in ther form of government for themselves and for their people but they also believe in the right of any people be governed by the kind of government they like best Judging from the opinions of men who China and ts people. the Chinese will no, take unkndy to a strongly centralized government providing there is just the head of It. and may be believed that in the present state Of education com munication and other factors which make possible for masses of men to inegenty together in politi' cal matters the Chinese not yet ready to make a genuine Republic work.
 IT it should be proved that the Chinese people take this view of the matter their acquiscence in the restored monarchy wi make the fact known to the world. but if their minds are really upon the establishment of Chinese Republic Yuan ShI Ka win soon be made to understand it. The Chinese may not be ready to choose their rulers by the ballot they have long known the uses Of a revolution.
 Whatever may be the result of Yuan Sh Kais reign China is the better for having been republic even for
 short time There Is no country that has ever had a republican government but that improvement followed. and there is none but the fingered to stir hope in the breasts Of the masses The hope has not always been n van France was a republic three times before she made her final decision There s2 years between the fall of the Bastie and the triumph of Gam betta and Thiers.
