pudden heads driving automobiles
that. as the Landmark says. every
body else is in danger Automobile
driving has a peculiar effect on the
drivers. Even the most careful and
thoughtful and eonsiderate man is
likely TO run too fast and 10 make
risks both for himself and others.
Ii is said that men looking down
from the top Of a high building or
the edge OF a precipice often feel the
impulse TO Jump of and il is well
known that when one in standing by
fast moving train there is an I'M
accountable suggestion TO plunge I'M
der the wheels. OF course men rare
ly do these things. but the impulse
is there and has to be overcome.
Something like this must operate on
the man driving an automobile. But
OF course the prudent man keeps his
wild impulses in hand. But when
this impulse comes to the rattle head.
who is ungoverned by prudence and
BY consideration for others. he throws
on the gas and hits only the high
places. and woe to any one who hap
pens not to get out of his way. The
laws against stealing are not made
for the man who never steals, but
for the rogues. So we must find
means of getting at the rattle heads
who will not control their joy riding
instincts.
Now. of course we are not making
the argument that the impulse above
referred TO accounts for all the mean
ness of the road. Many persons are
naturally mean and overbearing and
inconsiderate and the automobile
happens only to give them the better
opportunity to bring out the hog that
is in them. A real gentleman re-
mains a gentleman even when driv-
ing a machine. and as car gives a
better chance to the hog TO show HIM
self it also gives the gentleman an
opportunity to continue gentlemanly
only there il natural exhiliration
which makes him overestimate or I'M
the effect of his actions.
Hence. he must be doubly careful,
The way man uses telephone has
been thought to be good index to
his character. but it does not compare
with the automobile.
