THE average motorist Is careless,
said E w Stewart Recently was
standing at Oregon and franklln
streets on a day when the snow ana
slush filled the cutters and water was
running in the streets A mother
with a baby in her arms was CROSSING
the street AS she stepped from the
curb a man driving car without
sounding warning and running lar
in excess Of 20 miles an hour, tore
forced to jump, with her child she
landed in a pool OF water and was
thoroughly soaked. The mot0rist DID
not stop, but looked out and laughed
as that little woman stood cFlpplnE
IN the street Had she not Jumped
she most certainly would have been
struck. That sort Of thing is an out
rage. Another careless motorist was
one who drove through Pioneer plaza
at a high rate Of speed and. coming
from behind a street car, narrowly
missed two little girls who were
crossing the street. The speed Of
ficers are doing their best but from
the type Of motorists have Just
cited, il seems as though the force
should be more than doubled. The
justices Of the peace and police judge
are the best remedy. I like the atti-
tude Of the officers in this matter. as
where fragrant violations Of the law
occur they always stick on a coed
