TO MAKE THE ROADS SAFER. 
Universal Light Laws Are Much 
Needed—They Are Opposed by 
Persons to Whom They Would 
Give the Greatest Protection. 
Discussing the need of ‘‘light’’ 
laws, a subject that for several years 
past has been before the Massachu- 
setts Legislature, Motor World says: 
‘‘Saving a man from himself prob- 
ably is one of the most thankless and 
most difficult efforts it is possible to 
undertake. The average man appar- 
ently does not desire to be saved un- 
til he is beyond saving or well nigh 
beyond it, at any rate, particularly 
if the effort to do so involves ex- 
pense or inconvenience on his part, 
however slight. 
‘‘Nothing better serves to illustrate 
the point than the disinclination of 
most owners of horse-drawn vehicles 
to provide themselves with lamps 
for night travel, and the indiffer- 
ence of the police authorities to the 
enforcement of laws requiring the 
use of such lamps where such laws 
exist. In many, in fact in most in- 
stances, the disinclination of the 
horsemen finds expression in strenu- 
ous opposition to the enactment of 
legislation of the sort when it 1s pro- 
posed, and usually they find vigor- 
ous and shouting supporters in the 
legislative halls. Always they ob- 
ject to the slight cost and slighter 
inconvenience the use of lamps en- 
tails and with the aid of their politi- 
eal friends it is made to appear that 
such enactments primarily are for - 
the benefit of automobilists. 
‘““The horsemen and their friends 
either cannot or will not see that a 
lighted lamp after nightfall is in the 
nature of a life preserver for the per- 
son using it, it matters not what 
form of vehicle he may employ. It 
is Just as necessary and serves the 
same purpose on the highways of 
the earth as on the highways of the 
sea, and it is not too much to say 
that the person who does not display 
such a guiding signal is guilty of 
semi-criminal carelessness. 
‘““The idea that the driver of one 
type of vehicle only shall display 
such lights and that the burden of 
avoiding accident with an unlighted 
vehicle of another type shall fall on 
him is such apparent and rank injus- 
tice that it searcely should require 
remark. When an automobilist is so 
unfortunate as to become involved 
in such an accident a hue and ery 
usually results, and, regardless of 
circumstances, the disposition pre- 
vails to blame the man in the motor 
car. As a matter of fact, -however, 
the automobilist who is not more 
than ordinarily careful when driving 
at night is the rare exception. De- 
spite too popular belief to the con- 
trary, he has every wish and every 
anxiety to avoid accident, but how- 
ever careful, the unlighted vehicle is 
a constant menace to his safety and 
an even greater menace to the safety 
of those who occupy it, even if they 
so often refuse to recognize the 
truth. Even at a slow pace it does 
not require much force for a eolli- 
sion to result disastrously to the 
frail buggies which are the worst of- 
fenders. 
‘‘Those who oppose their enact- 
ment or who fail to enforce them 
where they have been enacted are

the ones who primarily are respon- — 
sible for practically all accidents 
that may occur. Such laws, too, | 
should require the lights to be ade- | 
quate and not mere glimmerings ~ 
which now so often are made to — 
serve.”’ 
Opposed to Closing Old Road at 
Rockport. 
Opposition to the effort of C. Pur-— 
ton Martin, owner of Turk’s Head — F 
Inn to have the old road leading to 
Lobloly cove closed has arisen — 
among the summer residents — of — x 
Rockport. : q 
Gen. W. A. Pew, whose land a 
joins that of Mr. Martin’ s, is head- 
ing the opposition. Asst. U. S. Dist. — 
Atty. Sullivan will appear in the © 
state land court to oppose the clos- 
ing of the road in the interest of the — 
U. S. government. “4 
The cove has been used as a land- 
ing place for the lightkeeper at 
Thatcher’s Island. According to the 
records of legislature this road was 
laid out in 1789 by justices of the 
court of general sessions of justices : 
of the peace in Essex County under 
chapter 121 of the acts of 1789. 
Martin denies that the road was 
ever laid out legally and is now | 
seeking to have the land registered _ 
as his in the land court. :

Newspaper Errors. 
Some people seem to think they 
‘prove their own brillianey by being 
able to point out errors in a news- 
paper. After taking their leisure to 
pick flaws in work that had to be 
done in a hurry, they call the news- 
paper man by telephone or hail him 
on the street, for wrong capitaliza- 
tion or a split infinitive, if they can 
find nothing more serious. 
Every one makes mistakes in his 
profession, but with most people 
only the boss knows about it. The 
newspaper man’s mistakes are 
spread out for all the world to see. 
The conditions of newspaper mak- 
ing demand that it be done at high 
pressure. If the editor went at his 
task with the extreme caution mani- 
fested by the lawyer when he writes 
a will, there would not be time to do 
much writing. And few people re- 
alize what infinite pains, even under 
existing conditions, are taken to 
avoid error so far as possible. The 
bulk of the mistakes are the result 
of inaccurate information given to 
reporters.
