THE INSULTING ,aoroRrsT.

There seems to b something about
reckless auto driving that brings out
the rufiian IN men, especially young
men. Presumably II Is the sense OF
power. II IL to be sure tho power OF
ingenious machinery. which reflects no
particular virtue upon the driver; but
dashing through the streets at a hot
speed, the attitude toward foot passen-
gers - one OF reckless contempt. Any
one who has had an adventure with
these inflated highway nuisances will
recognize the spirit--the mildest re-
buke of the citizen, a look even OF pro-
test as the pedestrian energies with his
life, Is followed by loud, raw string
OF oaths and abuse a. the rufiian puts
on more power ana dashes away.
Not long ago judge of one OF the
higher courts barely got across a
street in the business section, his last
step to safety being greeted with the
rough neck he'll talk. A story Is that
OF another high city Official who also
barely escaped with his lie. He too
had lot Of profanity shot after him
from the car which the Official. who
knows about such things, Gays was
doing forty Ave miles an hour. For
| tunately he followed the car with his
eye and 1t wac held UP by blockade
at Church and Chapel streets. like the
good citizen he is, he walked towards
It. With the courtesy which marks the
man, he told the youth the pace was H.
legal and the risk TO citizens not 10
be tolerated. There was the usual

upon an officer was called and the Of
fender instructed to report to the Of
ficials desk at a certdn hour. Not

young man's employer, who replied
instantly that no would come over

did. All the young man could say wal

MUST UPHOLD THE LAW.

In some Of the comments set forth by
Municipal Judge Daniel o. Hastings
in his letter to City Councilman Nc
Nabb on the subject Of . rigid en-
forcemcnt of tho laws against reck-
less speeding by drivers Of automo-
biles. There 10 truth in his conten-
ton that . strict enforcement of tho
law might occasionally result in seri-
Gus congestion OF traf'c. with a result
ant injury to business interests.
But It Is somewhat diflcult to ap-
prove the statement made by Judge
Hastings in his letter: II have always
taken the position that tho police
officer should not arrest q man merely
for exceeding tho speed limit. but
should arrest him when tho speed a,
which he IL driving makes him a
reckless driver. II Is recklessness
and not speeding thatI think should

as the word implies, like a trade or profession, comes under two classifcations, that of skilled and unskilled An unsk1,rj nleenanic is nowhere near as dangerous and expensive as an unskilled or incom- potent bookkeeper. There are those who pose as such whose experience ;s based only upon theory a theo- retical knowledge of bookkeeping might enable one -o bluff the way through to 2 certain period, but it Is ten to one bet that eventually they will come to realize they have only been kidding themselves and their employers in presuming that they were what the word implies.
 4 skilled bookkeeper has the ad- vantage over the unskilled inasmuch as he is possessed not only of the theoretical asset but also cf that keener knowledge that is only ob- tained through practical experience and long training. Now, MT. Business Man, f you are keeping your own books, stop just a minute and make an analysis of your asset on this vital question and determine which one of these classifcations you come under. If ! your summary shows that you come under the latter, you are working an injustice, not only to yourself, but your business as well
 You no doubt carry Fire Insur- ance; do you know that the man who can produce regular and syste- matically-kept books in the case of fire has great advantage over the one who is unable to make such a showing when 1t comes to a settle ment with the Insurance Company?
 Can you afford to continue along in this unsatisfactory, sleep-disturb- ing manner when you can relieve yourself of all this trouble and wor- " by having your accounts kept in a systematic manner for a mere trifle?
