The automobile is welcomed
as a product of the present day
civilization but in making room
for this modern convenience,
it should be distinctly under
stood there is.no place for the
careless and wanton chaffeur.
The horseless vehicles must get
along without him. Indepen
dence has better roads than the
average Oregon town and these
have attracted theautomobilist to
these parts, lne automo oil is
now a common sight along the
public highways. No one be
grudges them the use of the
public roads, though some' may
envy the mixed delights and
vexations that go with coaxing
tho inanimate machinery over
the country but the fact should
not be lost sight of that public
roads were not made for their
exclusive use nor have they by
common consent beeu appropiat-
ed to that purpose. The horse
for whose use the roads were
primarily built,still has rights on
the public roads and no me
chanical invention yet devised
can crowd fhim off. Some re
puted chaffelurs that find delight
in traveling Polk county roads
seem to act on the theory they
to lead to their grief and serious
aecidents. Wholly unmindful
of the safety and rights of teams,
they go dashing by, leaving
frightened horses and broken
ries in their make. It matters
not whether it be a spirited,
nervous horse or whether it be
-driven by man or woman, the
reckless chaffeur cannot find
time to see that bis automobile
ets by with safety to the fright
ened horse and driver. The
pleasure of the automobilist be
fore safety to horse and driver.
Several accidents from auto
mobiles on the public highway
have been narrowly averted on
the Independence , road3 this
season and the reckless chaffeur
may as well take warning now
that there is trouble ahead for
him.
