were few cars out.
But this is merely an incident
that is bringing before our psycholo-
gists this momentous question.
When an accident does happen it
is but natural that the man dislikes
to acknowledge his negligence. He
has to blame something, so he
blames the car.
Now come certain responsible
scientists who prove cOnclusively
that the man at the wheel is not al
ways TO blame. He is a victim of
auto hypnosis. He becomes uncon-
sciously drowsy. The feeling creeps
on him unawares. and before he
knows il ne loses control Of the
wheel and accidents follow.
There seems to be reason in this
theory. and if there is, the victim
should permit some one else who is
immune from the affection TO handle
his car in future. Public and his

HOW To COMPEL AN ELECTION

Senator Norris of Nebraska is a
good man. If his intellectuals were
as well developed as his conscience
he would be brilliant man. In as
cribing the sinking of the three
American vessels to the Presidents
order to arm other ships, the Senator
betrays unfamiliarity with the ordi-
nary rules of logic. But the event
seems to have satisfied him that war
is inevitable. He was zone ofsthe
twelve" and moreover, was one Of
the two who were openly agreed
that there should be no vote on the
bill authorizing the arming of the
ships. He has doubtless suffered
from the storm of criticism that has
burst upon his head from his own
State.
Senator Norris expressed wish not
to stay longer in the Senate if he is
found to misrepresent his people is
commendable. In the absence of the
recall for Federal officers, he pro-
poses an election to determine
whether he shall remain in the Sem
ate. If the Senator is really in
earnest, he can compel an election.
Let him resign his commission to the
governor, as Senator Bailey once did,
only without any string tied to the
resignation, and there will be a va
caney to be filled. Then he can test
his acceptability with the people of
Nebraska by running for the office
again. Senators Conkling and Plat
once resigned their Offices expecting
the legislature of New York to vim
dictate them by re-electing them. The
legislature disappointed them, it is
true. But the people of Nebraska
might not disappoint Senator Norris.
The plan is worth trying if Senator
Norris really wants to know how his
people feel about. him.
