Reckless Auto Driving to be Stopped.
The large majority of automobile
owners and drivers of automobiles,
are observers of the law, and are care
full of their own and the safety of the
machine, as well as of those riding
with them. but there is a minority
who are reckless and foolhardy, and
should not be permitted to drive an
automobile on the public highways,
of their own or for others. That
class of drivers is dangerous, not
alone to themselves but to the trav-
cling public. In meeting or passing
any kind of vehicle, they run their
machine at as high speed as it is pos
sible for it to obtain, and seem to de-
light in trying how close they can
come to the vehicle they are passing
and miss a collision. The law must
and will be dealt Out to this class
of people in its most drastic form
whenever and wherever they Overstep
the bounds of safety. Revoke all Ii
censes in every case. The accident
which happened near Barrett's Chap
ell last week, when a young man of
Milford Neck named Evans, with a car
loaded with people was racing with
another car, overturned and wrecked
the automobile generally. injured the
passengers so one had to go to the
hospital. resulted from reckless driv-
ing on a State road, where scores of
machines pass daily. People of this
kind should not be permitted to drive
automobiles on any road where 9TH
ers will be endangered as the result
of their recklessness.
