To tlif Kditor of The Herald,
IVar Sir: last vwk end witncsVd
!at least three serious automobile ac
cidents in or about Monmouth or
vicinity. In each case speeding
was the causal element. The time
has come to put a stop to this men
ace and we citizens of Monmouth
owe at to ourselves to see that the
streets are made safe for our chil
dren to cross. Sunday at five forty
Ave P. M. a car buzzed by the Post
Office going west on the south side
of the street at a conservative esti
mate of more than thirty miles an
hour. A farmer friend and his wife
were in their buggy opposite the
Post Office. The farmer looked at
mc and asked "Do you stand for
that sort of thing in Monmouth?"
shrugged my shoulders and made
a feeble reply. As a matter of fact
we citizens have "Monmouthitis"
we wait for the other fellow to
swear out a complaint and thee cuss
him o'ut if he doe or does not,
Don't we have the nerve to brand
crime when we see it? Well, in
less than two minutes by the watch
that same car came whizzing back
this time not so fast. Shamed by
my farmer friend 1 took the number
and had three othersdo the same. A
vision of what that car might have
done to my children had either at
tempted to cross to Morlan's has
put nerve into me. I am swearing
out a complaint and wish to take
this means of informing the public
that I intend to do my share toward
seeing that such speeding be stop
ped within our city.
Might ask of you, Mr. Editor
that you print the law regarding
speeding and also, if you have the
space in some future issue, state
hew one should go about swearing
out a complaint against infringe
ments of this law.
Just one other word. Some one
says we hire the city marshal to
make arrests and he never makes
any. It is his place to handle the
speeding craze. In part that is cor
rect, but were I the city marshal I
would likely do very much the same
as he does. Until we citizens get
up enuf backbone to give our mor
al support to law enforcement in
stead of looking at the marshal's
work as a joke, the marshal will be
foolish to change from his present
attituie of "let 'er buck". Lest
we forget.our speed limit is so low
that almost every Monmouth car
owner has broken it at some time.
1 1 is a pretty safe guens that if one
sees a car passing enuf faster than
the average flivver that his atten
tion is fixed on the speed, the pas
sing car is speeding. Those of us
who drive and keep anything like a
close watch on the speedometer can
generally give a pretty close esti
mate of how' fast a passing car is
traveling. By making a few exam
ples there is no reason why speed
ing can not be reduced to a mini
mum in Monmouth. Let us co
operate and make the streets safe
for those wishing to cross.
