Menace to Public Safety.

Thrt mlcnifclit automobile debauch has become aa well ertabilahed aa the machine Itself, and out ol It spring* a large fraction of the great record of fataiitiea which are being placed to the machine a account. That It la a great menace to the peace and highway safety of the suburban district* cannot be doubled, remarks the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, and whai is to be done to suppress It is a question. Ordinances directed against this particular species of Intoxication may sound well, but they are not likely to prove very effective. Once a machine has got loose upon the highway with occupants disposed to In'toxicants—your ordinance will never icatch. up with It until somebody has Been killed or proof cf intoxication has fceen put beyond reach. We must banish the midnight auto debauch, but the means of doing so will have to be made broader than the proposed Chicago ordinance—broad enough. In fact, to comprehend the dangers arising from this other and more general icrm of autointoxication. A rigid entorcement of the apeed laws might meet the need; but if this proves impracticable or insufficient, then only one thing will remain to be done, and that is lor the public Authority to bring the driving of all automobiles as directly under its control as the driving of looomoUvi Ruder the control of a railroad company.
