AUTO SMASHES LIGHT
NIGHT RIDERS ESCAPE

Residents OF Franklin street be-
tween Sixth and Seventh streets were
aroused early this morning by the
crash OF falling glass. and on looking
out OF their windows they were under
the impression that an enemy aero
plane was passing over the city and
that all lights IN the city had been
extinguished The gas light in the
middle OF the square was out and
the whirring OF an automobile engine
added 10 their terrors. Suddenly the
voice Of a woman was heard saying,
"I'n take care or myself; you'll miss
your car" At this the woman. rather
short OF stature. ran down Franklin
street and east on Sixth street.
At the same time a man wearing
light OvercOat was seen running
towards Seventh street. When the ex-
cited residents regained their com
posture. they learned that taxi cab
carrying the man and woman, had
collided with the gas light, breaking
off the post and damaging the from
OF the car The names Of those who
figured in the accident we're not learn
ed by the police.

Of the time he is not, but is in
tently gazing at all pedestrian
whom he is passing, to see if they
are watching him. A child eros
ing the street ahead Of such {
driver is in danger, imminent, ter
rible danger. When the time
comes that such child is struck
and mangled or killed by this
menace to human safety, then We
will realize the necessity Of scme
action to prevent recurrence II
the deplorable happening, md
we, all Of us, will be ready to
string that driver up to tele-
phone post and puncture his hide
with any kind of a missile that
may be left us from the demands
Of the war. Why cannot we do
something now to protect against
this inevitable occurrence? Our
officers are not to blame for the
conditions. That is not where
the blame lies, for they cannot
do anything unless upheld by pub
lie sentiment, and it is rather a
serious thing for an officer to
make arrests Unfortunately.
They have no means Of determine
ing accurately the speed Of the
cars being driven along our
streets? They do not feel justi-
fed or warranted in arresting an
automobile driver when they have
no means Of being absolutely GER
tain that the speed limit is being
and of proving that ex-
cess. When public reailzation Of
this danger becomes so certain
that no hesitancy will be felt in
denouncing the violators Of the
laws Of safety. then the menace
will become thing Of the past,
but shall the public wait for the
bereaving accident that must
come under present conditions, to
be convinced Of the dangeri Bet
ter adopt a safety first" course
than to flock the stable after the
horse is stolen Don't blame
our officers for the existing con-
ditions. The recklessness ex-|
hibited in driving automobiles on
our streets is always done out Of
the sight of our officers, and none
Of our citizens is going to report
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1917-07-07

such recklessness, or assume the
responsibility of making COM
plant Of it to the proper author
tiles. There is state law which
prescribes penal servitude for one
who is driving, or aiding Or
aDetting III the driving of an au-
tomoblIe which strikes or in any
way Injuries a person, when the
proof is that such driving of the
automobile was reckless and care
less. The danger Of such driving
should be realized 10y the drivers,
and let them govern themselves
accordingly, and regulate their
handling Of their machines to az
cord with safety to the public
and to themselves. The rapid
speeding Of an automobile along
our streets does not attract adml-
ration from the spectators, but is
more apt to arouse critical COM
ment and a contemptuous regard.
But the criticism Of the public
will be nothing in comparison
with the consciousness that you
have wantonly destroyed the life,
or rendered helpless the exist
ence Of little child. 'Better be
safe than sorry" and regulate

1.-THE NATIONAL FLAG"

| One Of the pleasant events al
the entertainment last Wednes-
day gotten up to raise funds fol-
the Red Cross Society was
the defamation by Mr.. Adolphe
Schartff, entitled "'The National
Flag" composed by the late
Henry Ward Beecher. On April
18th, 1917 at the Southern
Conference of the Young Men,
Hebrew Association, held at
Chattanooga, Tennessee, this
young man won much praise upon
delivering this eulogy and at the
solicitation of his friends con-
scented to make the same Grafton
here:
From the earliest time nations
seem to have gone forth to war
under some banner. Sometime it
has been merely the pennon of
a leader and was only a rallying
signal. So doubtless began the
habit Of carrying banners, to d.
rect men in the confusion of con-
fict, that the leader might gather
his followers about him, when
he himself is liable to be lost out
of their sight.
GA thoughtful mind when it
sees a nation s flag, sees not only
the flag but the nation itself.
And whatever may be it's sym
bols, its insignia, he reads chiefly |
in the flag, the government, the
principles, the truths, the history |
Of the nation that sets it forth.
When the French tri-color rolls
out to the wind, we see France.
When the new-found Italian flag
is unfurled we see resurrected
Italy. When the other three
colored Hungarian flag shall be
lifted to the wind, we shall see
in it the long buried, but never
dead principle Of Hungarian
liberty. When the united crosse
Of st. Andrew and St. George on
a fiery ground, set forth the BAN
ner Of old England-we see not
The cloth merely-there rises up
before the mind, the idea of that
great monarchy.
"This nation has banner too,
and wherever it streams abroad
men see daybreak bursting on
heir eyes, for the American Flag
has ever been symbol Of lib
erty, and men rejoiced in it. Not
another flag has such an errand
