NORTH CAROLINA AUTOMOBILE LAW
The state of North Carolina is far in advance of
other southern states in building paved roads. Au-
tomobiiists find the roads in this state to be almost
perfect, but in building good roadc the authorities
have not forgotten the importance of rigid restric
tions for the automobile driver as well as the pedes
trian. It is not alawys the fault or recklessness of
the automobile driver which causes accidents.
Pedestrians are sometimes to blame. With that lib
eral view on the part of those in authority - the legis
lature passed a law requiring pedestrians to walk on
the left side of the roads thereby giving the middle
and right hand side of the roads to the use of auto
mobiles. Violation of this law subjects the offender
to being guilty of a misdemeanor end a fine or sen
tence can be imposed in the discretion of the court.
It is true that many automobilists are reckless
when driving over the public highways and many < f
them seem to think that the pedestrian or the driver
of vehicles not propelled by gasoline have no rights
whatever to the highways. The law also provides
for the punishment of such violators. It is a good
law and one similar to the North Carolina law should
be adopted in every state.
An autoist cannot be too careful when driving over
• tie' public highways. • Pedestrians are oftentimes
■•deaf or absorbed in matters and without thinking
walk in front of a rapidly moving automobile and
meet with either death or serious injuries. Such ac-
c'dents cannot be helped, but in such instances the
accident is from no fault of the driver, and the re
sponsibility rests upon the thoughtless pedestrian.
The time has come when there must be co-oper
ation between the driver and the pedestrian, if we
are to avoid accidents and death, A better under
standing of the rights of autos and pedestrians
rhould be encouraged and a sane and safe system of
road rules adopted in communities and laws passed
by the legislative bodies of the state requiring such
action.
, North Carolina has a good law and the people of
this state will benefit by adopting one similar.
THE COAL STRIKE SITUATION
Annually there arises a crisis in the coal mining
industry and differences between the miners and op
erators grow serious and the aid of the federal as
well as state governments is called in to settle or ad-
.Just the differences. Such should not be the case.
There is little excuse for these annual rows and bick
erings over a wage scale which finally results in the
price of coal being raised and the consumer suffer
ing therefrom. It is alleged that these differences
are brought on through an understanding between
the miners and operators in order that a greater
profit may be made by the operators. Whether that
is true, or not, such action shoud cease and a settled
«nd normal condition restored in this industry.
President Coolidge has called on Governor Pin
ch ot, of Pennsylvania, to intercede and undertake to
settle the trouble pending in that state between the
miners and operators. Whether he will succeed in
the undertaking is problematic. He has a hardened
and unreasonable crowd to deal with on both sides,
ai]d especially so if what has been said is true as
to the relation existing between employee and em
ployer. The time has come when legislation
should be passed controlling the output of the coal
mines and fixing a scale for its production. In other
word*, the time has come when all the coal mines in
the country should be taken over by the government
and operated. It is a too serious a matter to allow
miiiers and operators to close down these industries
and leave the people of the nation helpless and with-
out fuel.
fW L h ^-n fai . th in ,r re * Id * nt Coo,id *« and believe
that he will yet work out the problem and prevent a
stnko, but in order to prevent future trouble, con
gress should take notice and some sane and reason
able legislation passed which would forever elimi
nate the operators and miners from having the con
trolling hand in the manipulations of the mines of
tho nation.

Something like a docent score.
