Police Should Act.

The auto cut-out nuisance has become ~
tolerable IN Rock Island. The same drivers
who observe the trafhc laws in Davenport and
Moline violate them in Rock Island.
The autoist imagines he can do about as he
r,eases on the streets here. and apparently he
can, for there are few prosecutions for infrac-
lions of the law. Second avenue the greater
part Of the day and far into the night sounds
like racing speedway. The police depart
ment ought to get busy and make an example
of some of the drivers who imagine that the
way to handle car is to see how much racket
they can make.
They couldn't.get away with such fireworks
in Davenport or Moline. They are aware Of
the fact. and the result is when they are driv-
ing in those cities they operate their cars like
normal beings When they hit the local pave
nents they cast discretion to the four winds.
