disclose whether at this vote
quorum was present or not. The
presumption is that it was.
Even If in SO doing the house
was breaking it's own rules as to
reconsideration and a certificate,
it does not destroy the validity of
the certificate. Those who at
tack the record cannot deny the
truth of the certificate that the
resolution did pass the house and
the senate with constitutional quor-
ums and constitutional majorities.
Their complaint is that after
constitutional passage resolution,
there being a motion to reconsider
and the rules of the house re-
quiring vote on it before its pas
sage could be certified to the sem
ate, no valid vote was had on its
reconsideration.
But there are merely rules of
procedure that the house may sus-
pend or ignore without violating
any constitutional duty or limita-
lion. Moreover, the certificate of
the officers appointed by law to
make such certificates, especially
the governor and the presiding
officers Of the two houses, is likely
to be given conclusive weight by
the supreme court of the United
States.

DRIVERS MORAL OBLIGATION.

at Atlantic City, New Jersey, every thirty mn
Iutes some person is killed by an automobile Ii
the United States Three times as many per
sons are killed, it is stated, IN automobile acct

other industries In this country
These declarations are appalling.
They indicate a frightful amount OF careless
ness and recklessness in the use OF motor We
AicIes-
Many persons think the airplanes peculiarly
periIous, but it IS stated that In England last
year seventy five thousand persons were carried
by airplanes with very few accidests and only
one fatality.
Which makes the airplane seem safer than
the auto.
Again and again the cry goes up from the
press in America that something must be done
to reduce the number of automobile accidents
and deaths; that the laws to regulate must be
enforced, and that there must be more laws, or
existing statutes be made severe, ct cetera,
ct cetera, ct cetera.
But such agitation seems fruitless in the main.
Drivers who daily risk their necks at the wheel
are not to be frightened at editorials, Voices
of the People, = Peoples Safety Valves" or
other matter set forth in printers ink.
In general nobody cares how many automo-
biIists kill themselves by reckless or careless
driving. The trouble is that great number OF
the victims are innocent Of any harm. And per.
haps the most telling appeal that can be made to
the offenders is in behalf of those whose lives
are lost without fault of their own.
The moral principle should prevail that the
right to drive motor vehicle within legal regu-
lations does not relieve the at the wheel
from the obligation to hold human life sacred,
and to be constantly watchful for the safety of
others. Many lives might have been saved by
greater care, even though their loss might not
have involved any actual violation of law.
! Drivers all should remember that many per-
SONS are more or less deaf, or have poor sight
or understanding, are slow to act even when
conscious Of danger Others get confused and
irresoute in the face of peril, and it is poor con
ISOLATION to any accidental slayer to be able to
say of the victim, and with truth, SIT was his
own fault"
! Or where, for example, little girl is run over,
who might have been spared by little more
care or forethought on the part Of the driver, it
is no great satisfaction to him to be able to de-
clare, without falsehood, 'EShe should have kept
