"Speed Traps"
Not Infrequently when motorists jjet together their conversa
tion turns indignantly to "speed trnps" and they enlighten one
another about places where it is wise to drive cautiously. As they
! describe conditions, the authorities always are at fault, llie olli
cers sent out to watch motorists and arrest those who violate the
laws know nothing of the sanctity of an oath whole the magis
trate before whom victims are arraigned is a conscienceless gotig-
! .r the raildic whi.'h honors the nlace by driving through "no
faster than a walk." The town needs the money. That is the ex
nlanation of a "speed trap" as motorists tell it.
There may be some ground for complaint in isolated cases, but
the rational motorist will testify from observation that more, not
fewer, 'speed traps" would be good for all who drive and the pub
lic afoot as well. When the authorities of a small town undertake
rigorous enforcement of tlie motor vehicle laws they act in the
interest of all the people. Their course seems harsh only because
it is contrary to custom. They have swung Irom extreme intin-
i'erences to violations to the other extreme of enforcement of every
provision of the statute.
The effect is to deprive motorists of a degree of personal lib
erty to which they never have been entitled, the violator feels that
he is leing persecuted, because one town punishes him lor doing
what another, whose authorities are negligent in performance of
their duty, do not object to his doing. If the police everywhere
were concerned in law enforcement before damage has been done
the road would be safer for all people including motorists. If mot
orists were as careful always as they are when driving through a
town known as a 'speed trap" the result would be accomplished
and-to the common benefit.
When nutomobilists denounce "speed traps" they condemn
themselves. The ambushed officer on the alert to catch a violator
has no terrors for those who operate their cars according to law.
For violators who are caught and made to pay for their infractions
the public has no sympathy. The way to get rid of "speed traps
is to make them unnecessary. Only the motorists can do this.
Poetic Justice in Real Life
Many disquisitions and dissertations, some of they dry as dust
and other entertaining enough after a fashion, have been writ
ten on the subject of poetic justice in the drama and other forms
; of literature. One general line taken is that, as real life reeks
with injustice and terrible examples and man s inhumanity to man
and frequently exhibits vice triumphant and virtue toppled from
her thone and dragged in the dust, it is the function of the poet,
dramatist and novelist to paint the ideal condition, to foster hope
nnd cheer by showing the balance readjusted and meting out pun
ishment to the guilty and rewards to the innocent.
Poetic justice is so called because, among other reasons, it is
' not the justice of real life. In Chicago, however, an attempt ol an
unprecedented character has leen made to approximate the one
to the other. A husband cut his wife's throat and fled. The wom
an was found and bronchi to a hospital, and there it was an
nounced that an immediate transfusion of blood was necessary to
save her life. Volunteers were about to be willed for, when at the
psychological moment detectives, who had in the meantime cap
tured the culprit, arrived with their prisoner. The erring husband
was carried by force to the operating room, two quick incisions
were made in him and the transfusion was so successfully com
pleted that the physicians say the woman will live.
It would, perhaps, be loo curious to inquire what are the re
spective demands of the two kinds of justice on the future rela
tions of this apparently mismated couple. Even the critics would
be hard put to it. to supply the proper answer.
