No Accident
Stop, Mr. Mnn-at-tlie-wheel, and think. Are all the kill
ings of pudestrians, the maiininjrs, tho wincldnj of prop
erty that are listed as accidents really accidents? Don'l
you know, i when you step-on, the jvas and watch the diai
luihd move past the safety point, that an "accident" is
due? Don't you know that your speeding threatens death
to those who tire in your path? Don't you know .that you
are a menace to public safely when you disregard the
lights of others 'and violate traffic laws and .split the city
streets open? ,
Ypur, action in stepping on the jvas and in speeding iV,
na uocideut, 1h it?
- .There May he ocidents at the instant of the crush or
the crushing of the victim, hut that which led up to
it was not accident. It was disregard of the rights of others
aud willful violation of the traffic laws. So, in the last
Analysis, traffic tragedies are to he charged, not to acci
dent,' but to willful recklessness. Think this over, Mr.
Man-at'-the-wheel, and hold your cur down to safe speed
nti keep it under control.
'Passing of the "Colonels
' Tte picturesque figure of the Blue Grass region, the
: "Kentucky Colonel," is threatened with extinction if th'
, governor of that stiite heeds the protest of the Veterans
Of Foreign Wars ugainst the appointment of civilians to
h'K staff. Through this custom, it is asserted, politicians
who never woixj h uniform or smelled powder, have ac
quired a military title. There ai more of this type to
liie square foot in Kentucky than in any other state. Hut
they bore their dignity so charmingly that the rest of the
country,, who knew them through fiction and the movies,
must regret their threatened disappearance. Happily, that
rill be gradual. No retroactive law can be passed abolish
ing the titles already acquired. Future stale executives
will .no longei'. confer the honor, and with the passing of
the present holdci's the species will be extinct.
The -thirteenth amenrrment 'wiped out slavery; th
eighteenth amendment drove John Barleycorn to the hills
imdthe moonshiners; the auto is pushing the horse to the
tide of the road, and now the Veterans of Foreign Wain
threaten the proud overlord of them all, the "Kentucky
fiolonel," with extinction. But, one is tempted to argue
on.behalf of the delightful, is it any more incongruous t:i
bestow a military title on a civilian than to confer a civil
degree, as L. L. D., on a military man, as was done by
irtiF colleges on several heroes of tho late war? Maybe
it would be best to limit the practice of conlei iing degrees
or titles in both wises.
