ing faster.
Both cars were driven by chauffeurs
the passengers were women. There was
ample space for the second car TO pass
but to my astonishment 1t came up be-
hind and crashed squarely into the first
machine.
1t was absurd. The second driver had
sat at ease. his hands on the wheel. his
gaze straight ahead. There was nothing
to divert his attention.
| The second chauffeur was apologetic
and admitted to the woman his fault,
although insisting that he could not ac-
count for his carelessness. But the frst
stood. Superficial explanations were not
for their belief.

The faulty driver was evidently a VIC
tim OF incursive somnipathy. Psychol-

term. but I do not recall It. A self.
induced yet unlimited malady, with the
symptoms OF which many auto drivers
and engineers are more or less familiar.
The colliding chauffeur had been gaz-
ing steadily at the bright. streaming
roadway flowing smoothly beneath him.
Its monotonou5 sameness concentrated
his mental faculties to the point OF In
ducing momentary self-hypnotism.
In the field OF railroading when ex-
perienced engineers run by opposing
signals wonder II the cause might not
often be attributed to, this insidious
malady.
Often the charitable explanation in
cases fatal to the engineer LIS been the
possibility Of heart failure or a sudden
stroke causing dead hand to hold the
throttle prior to the accident. But is it
possible that the effect Of the unwaver-

An acquaintance of mine who drives
his own car about the city said that
he has sometimes been aroused from a
sound sleep by the wheels OF his car
rubbing against the curb. A chauffeur
told me that he saw a car waver from
It's course. swerve across the Drive at
Seventy-eighth street, crash through the
protecting chains at the edge Of the
walk and finally stop down among the
trees in Riverside Park. 1t was one OF

Negroes Are Loyal.
They Want Their Rights, but They
Are Not Plotting Revolution.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: yfb Of
the negro race who know few things
cannot help smiling when we read the
nonsense uttered by Americans who
have outgrowr their country and are
working overtime In efforts to change
human nature and to remake the world
with the assistance OF foreign agitators
who would start a revolution in heaven
II they had base from which to oper-
ate. These gentlemen have been en-
gagged In efforts to link up the negro
in their destructive propaganda to shake
the pillars Of the commemorative Of the
world and 20 reorganize the present sys-
TENS OF government by force, rapine
and murder.
Some OF these dreamers have been
foolish enough to interpret the dissatiss
faction Of the negroes In America witn
Jim Crowism, Ku Klux Klanism, Iynch
law, civic and social injustice and othef
unfair determinations against us as d
class to mean that our sympathies ara
with those Of the white race here and IA
Europe who are plotting to destroy al
governments. and that We are going II
taken in their calculations. Tho negroes
Of America are not going to give thena
any help whatever In their wild and
chimericaI schemes
The negroes OF this country haxsl
never been guilty OF treason to the da4
which ought TO but does not fully pro4
tect them. nor to the laws which ayx1
still powerless to protect them. But thA
remedy Is not to be found In revolutioss
dissatisfied and turbulent elements In tho
white race here and abroad.
The negroes are going to make n
strenuous and determined night for
every right, with all their might" for
what Is their own under the Constitu-
tion. and will try to establish the rea-
sonableness Of their claim to just recog-
milton as citizens OF this Republic. and
they will not join forces with any ele-
ment. foreign or domestic. to destroy
this Government. which owes them more
than they owe It. as the records for
over 900 years will show.
They have never bred a negro traitor,
anarchist or revolutionist. and II Is too
late now to begin. II in their struggle for
rights now denied them as citizens they
discover that this Government does not
mean to accord them these rights they
will find what they want and should
have on the continent Of Africa. the her
itage which God has given them. Tho
negroes of the world were never moro
thoroughly aroused. never moro deter
mined than at tho present time to find
their place In the sun. Tho awakening
has already begun, and the negro the
wide world over thoroughly realizes
and perfectly understands that the des-
tiny of the white race and the black
and brown races are not coordinate
and can never be. They have no illu-
sions on this point. EAST "a Still East

Another Side to Thrift.
Objections to Some Arguments Used
in the Present Campaign.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Inc arti-
cles and advertisements appearing In
support of the thrift campaign are very
interesting, but some of the arguments
may prove puzzling to ordinary mortais.
Whatever may be the correct delni-
ton OF thrift It is obvious that thrift
can be adopted as practice only by
buying less. Hence the thrift campaign
must be a buy less campaign Since
we are told that there is already In
operation a buyers strike, how can less
buying help the present conditions OF
idle factories. overstocked dealers ana
unemployed people?
In n recent thrift advertisement II
was stated that many OF the business
publications were joining the thrift cam
paign. To be consistent and sincere
should not each one of those periodicals
place at the head of each page a plea
that its readers should not buy any
OF the goods and articles advertised
therein unless the reader Is convinced
that he should not better save his money
for the purchase OF investment securi-
ties7
II a merchant Joins the thrift cam
paisn should he not, to be consistent
and really helpful 10 the campaign. plac-
ard his store with arguments for less
buying and in his daily newspaper ad-
vertising should he not advise his Gus
toners TO be certain before buying that
they really need any OF the advertised
articles?
suppose that owing to the thrift cam
paign the people who still have jobs and
the people who have incomes from In
vestments buy fewer hats. clothes, shoes.
automobiles, monographs. pianos; less
furniture and no more theatre tickets
and candy The demand for those arti-
cles would decrease. the manufacture
thereof would decrease fewer factories
would be in operation and fewer people
would be employed. But the amount
OF savings would increase and likewise
the amount of loanable funds.
The banker goes TO the textile manu-
facturer and offers loap OF half a
million dollars Does the textile manu-
'facturer at once buy raw materials,
summon his idle worlSmen, open his
plant and start his machlnes7 Did he
Close his plant because he needed funds
or because he needed orders7
some people believe that an a nation
we have been engaged In a reckless
spree Of spending which has affected
our ideas and ideals of manners. ethics
and morals. Has not a reaction set
In? Has not the pendulum of spending
already swung back from recklessness
and extravagance to thoughtfulness and
economy7 VIII not the thrift campaign
cause a widespread feeling of doubt ana
pesslmlsm?
II t is not probable that the thrift
movement will stimulate business. IL II
IL not likely TO bring Joy to the manu-
faoturer who wants orders. TO the mer-
chant who wants customers, to the man
who wants job, what indeed may II
accomplish?
Perhaps tho originators OF the move
mont plan spiritual renaissance. Per-
haps they believe the American people
need the drastic antidote OF hard times
TO bring thom back to sane tastes In
dress and pleasures and TO wholesome
ideas about manners and conduct

Relicta.

From the Montreal Daily Star.
And the sun went down and the moon
climbed high,
From out OF the summer sea,
As man and maid through fields OF
rye
Stroiled onward so happily.
Then the trumpots blared, and the guns
call reused
nation to grisly war.
And the maid was left with the kline
which browsed,
Der the meadows near and far.
Now the moon looks down on n lonely
mound.
Away IN a distant cline.
And the night breeze, whispering softly
round.
Hymns a sacrifice sublime.
And woman walks in the meadows
bare,
That border the restless sea,
And her hopes lie far beyond grief and
care.
Where JOY Is eternally.

Bankruptcy is not "a matter Of good

JULIUS NJ. MAYER says he cannot ex-
pedite tho course of the B. r. t. re-

by magic funds to pay floating debt
