On the Automobile Our streets have always been hard enough: to navigate, heaven knows, but nowadays, with the electric trolleys and the automobiles added, pedestrianism has degencrated into a mere succession of frenzied leaps and convulsive stops, and our progress to and fro is like that of the gartled fawn, which “ Bounds from crag to crag, Hearing the hunter's horn.” Shakespeare, who was up-to-date and alittle ahead of it, said: “No man means evil but the devil, and we shall know him by his horns.” This eternal horn-blowing is a nui- sance and a nerve-destroying crime, and js unnecessary and silly. I have noticed that the smaller the auto the bigger the horn. To hear one of these little tin wash boilers, with a one-horse-power en- gine and a twelve-horse-power horn and 2 twenty-mule-power driver, coming down the avenue, you'd suppose that Gabriel with his trumpet had broken loose at last, and when you look up, ex- pecting to sce a trump, you see nothing but a two-spot Tdon't claim that every man who runs an auto is a jackass, but I do claim that every jackass runs an auto. I run one myself. But when I run over a pede: trian, I just mow him down in a qu dignified and refined manner, and don’t add insult to injury by frightening him to death before I kill him. —From “A Few Remarks,” by Simeon Ford.

ARIOUS vice investigations reveal the fact that, during a given period, a certain number of people go wrong, while the rest of the people go right. After the people who go wrong go wrong, they become a problem for the people who go right. But, as the people who go right, never having gone wrong themselves, know nothing of the circumstances attendant upon those who go wrong, they make slight headway with this problem which is thrust upon them for solution. Some people, of course, go partly wrong in one way; others in other wa: but, as the way in which the other fellow goes wrong is always worse than the way we go ourselves, attempts at mutual and reciprocal betterment proceed haltingly. Hence the perennial presence of prudish, prurient and pornographic palaverings. comicbooks.com
