THE MODERN “MAN ON HORSEBACK’
At a dangerous street corner in New York where two
street car lines cross at an angle in front of a Subway
station and heavy crosstown traffic complicates an al
ready difficult situation, stands a large sign in the shape
of a tombstone. It reads “Sacred to the Memory of 1,846
persons killed by automobiles in the city this year.” The
number is changed every day. It never grows smaller;
the dead do not come back to life.
Ohio for some years marked the scene of every fatal
accident on a state highway with a white cross. It is re
ported that the state has abandoned this practice; the
crosses became too thick in some spots. This is a step
in the wrong direction. W arnings like that may be dis
regarded and usually are by most motorists, but enough
dnvers will be shocked into at least temporary caution to
be more careful at that particular spot.
It is not merely for the protection of drivers and their
passengers that such warnings are needed. The man on
foot still has first rights on the highway, and his life is
as valuable as that of the man who rides. Out of all the
immense toll of motor deaths in 1929, nearly a third were
of pedestrians struck by automobiles.
In the old feudal days in Europe the man on horseback
felt that he was a superior being, and the poor people
who had no horses had to agree with him or be ridden
down. One of the things our fathers came to America
for was to change all that. It would almost seem as if
we were losing ground. There is something about driv
ing a car that makes many persons utterly reckless of the
rights of others. That these reckless ones are not always
very young and are not necessarily intoxicated, only
makes the situation all the worse.
