Ways of Rear at a the
rialsk.
Kgures recently gathered by the fed
eral census shew that the automobile,
from on point of view. Is a very ex
pensive Invention. It la a great sourre of
pleasure to multitudes of people, and an
Important aid to civilisation, but tha toll
It takes of human life Is nothing abort
f frightful.
As tha motoV ear has grown more pop
lar. It has naturally beooma more de
structive, la the year 1ft) automobiles
killed M persons In this country- In laT
they took 61 Uvea. In )M they wiped
ut 7M people.
These are tha figtuea of the census,
whl.'k eatl mates that, at a rough guest,
1 0W persona will be killed by motor rare
In the Unites' States during the twelve
months of IS 10. It would be close to the
truth to say that the automobile, to this
country, costs three lives a day. The tax
U undeniably a heavy one.
la rural districts the cbicf sufferers are
the automotillta themselves the moat
common kind of accident tliey encounter
being colllaluna with railroad and trolley
trains. One might euppoae that driver
of motor cars would be so on their guard
agalnut dangers of this particular sort that
uch happenings would be rare, but the
fact la that they are of constant occur
rence an one may perceive by an attentive
pereual of the newspapers from day to
day.
Teaapllag the Orlaa Iteaaer.
Nothing is more common than to hear
of instances In which automobiles have
deliberately raced with locomotives, the
object In view being to get over the
arousing before the arrival of the train at
that point It Is literally a race with
rath, and must be extremely exciting;
out most people would rather get their
excitement lo koine less hasardoua way.
On the other hand, most fatal automo
bile accidents In olties find their vlotluia
lu fool-passengers, who are run ever on
the street. luring six weeks In October
and November of last year, seventeen
children were killed in thla manner In
Urur New York. Indeed, mortality
from tikis cause lo large eentera of popu
lation Is largely among boys and girls,
great majority of whom l.ave no play
grounds other than the streets, and are
obliged to take their chances with the
motor cars, dodglnc them as they came
along.
Blxty-elght persons were killed by auto
mobiles In Uraater New Tork In tha year
1!M), Just about half of this number meet
ing their trade fate on Manhattan Uland.
Id many of these oasvs aherj people nri
run over, the drivers of the cars were
probably not to blame. It Is difficult to
run a gasoline-propelled velilole through
a city crowded with traffic on foot and
on wheels. But who, a generation ago,
could have Imagined that the time would
ever arrive when locomotive would be
allowed to run on the street! and not on
rails, at that?
A custom long established among the
prudent demands that before attempting to
cross a railroad, on shall pause and look
both ways, to make sure that no train Is
coming. If a train Is seen approaching,
even though It is a considerable distance
away, one waits until It has passed. But
In these days any Important city street Is
mora dangerous to cross than a railroad
especially in view of the circumstance tnat
automobiles are not restricted to tracks.
A motor car may even whisk unexpectedly
around a corner at any moment, catching
the wayfarer unawares. But people ordi
narily do not wait; they simply take their
chances, and dodge.
They do not always escape, however, as
tha mortality reoords show. But it Is In
teresting to leaxn that, taking the whole
country over, two out of every three auto
mobile vlctirui are occupants of tha cars
which suffer the aocldents. gome are killed
lo collisions with locomotives. In the man
ner already described; others are upset
while going at hiKh speed (tha vehicles
often "turning tlrlie"); still otiiers are run
over embankments and yet others are blown
up by explosions of gasoline. There are
a good many ways of dying In a motor
mishap.
it govs without saying that a great ma
jority of tha fatal accidents to people rid
ing In Sutomoblles are attributable to fast
driving. Most persons who drive such
vehicles have little or no knowledge of
mechanics, and lack the special training
which would enable them to do tha right i
thing quickly and Instinctively In a peril
ous emergency. The average man la elated
by the ability to command superhuman
speed by the touch of a finger. He uses
this marvelous power recklessly, not realis
ing the danger, and It It not surprising that
In frequent Instances he should bring de
struction upon himself and others.
Great Pawer la Igasraal Haade.
This Is what Is called tba "speed mania."
Put a great force In the hands of an Ignor
ant person a description applicable to very
many motorists and he will surely misuse
It. If he himself were the only sufferer,
one might be resigned; but he kills other
people. Oh, yes; It happens every day.
And Is this dangerous Individual punished?
Nut at all. lie pays a small fine, perhaps,
and goes on his way rejoicing. The law
rarely makes any attempt to Inflict a
penalty for misdeeds of the kind.
In fact. Jail sentences for such offenses
are almost unknown. The court reoords
everywhere show an amasing lack not only
of convictions In cases of the sort, but
even of Indictments fur automobile killings.
They can hardly be aald to be rated at
anything so Important aa misdemeanors.
No wonder, then, that they continue. Man
slaughter by automobile Is today the eafrat
of all forms of crime the term being not
In the slightest degree Inappropriate w here,
as so often happens, a deliberate Indiffer
ence to putting others in peril Is account
able for the fatality.
Any observant Individual la In a posi
tion to notice that the average driver of
an automobile Is not accustomed to pause
In order to avoid running over a foot pas
senger on the street. As a matter of fact,
at crossings the foot passenger has the
right of way, but to this the motorist pays
no regard. He "honks" his horn, and,
If the unfortunate pedestraln does not get
out of the way, so much the worse for
him. Only the other day an old man In
the city of Waslilngton was run down
and killed In exaotly this manner. He
could not move fast enough, and so he
died, ttuch things are constantly hap
pening. A atonies Toa Hick,
Why should the motorist consider that
he always and under all circumstances has
the right way 7 It Is because he pos
sesses the force majeure and nobody Is
In a position to dispute with him. By
no means let It be said that a majority
of automobile drivers are indifferent to
the lights of others; but certain It Is that
a large percentage of them are so, the
trait being most strikingly exlubiied by
the Individual who, aa the representatives
of a type only too common, has come to
be known as the "road hog." lie cares
for hubudy. If he makes an "accidental"
killing, his conscience duus not trouble
him in the least. What business had the
Idiot to be In the way? If practicable, he
runs for It, leaving the victim to take his
chancvM, and usLutily escapes.
Oul a lew wuexs ago in the outskirts
of Manhattan a ooupla of men In a tour
ing car, accompanied by three or four
women, after dark in the evening, going
at great speed, ran through a group of
four men, knocking them down and killing
two. When a policeman, standing near
by, tried to halt them, they kept right on,
the women yelling back with Joel's of de
rision. Of course, they got away, and
wers never caught or punished.
Drunk? Doubtless, yes. But this Is one
of tha principal causes of automobile kill
ings. People go out In automobiles for
pleasure; they stop, quite aa a matter of
