v A NEW FORM OF INTEMPERANCE,
jb Discussing recent tragedies due to reckli
■ driving of automobiles, the Moultrie Observer
and Quitman Free Press suggest that'legisla-
five enactment may seek to mete out punish-
■j vent for such crimes of the road.
We already have all the law that is neces-
P sary; th^ trouble is that the laws are not en-
HT forced- With strict enforcement, there is
v ample law to prevent a great majority of the
auto accidents or to punish the guilty where
guilt appears. But for all practical purposes,
the laws regulating the driving of automobiles
- are near dead letters.
. The reason is not obscure. Public Sentiment
does not demand their enforcement. Too many
people of influence, and in many cases those in
authority, are among those most flagrantly
guilty. To be sure, the victim protests, but his
wail is lost In the sound of tooting horns and
the whirr of passing wheels.
• feeorgtt has been congratulating herself on
abolishing the sale of intoxicants, after many
years of effort City after city comes forward
with comparison of police court records, to show
that we are once more a sober and ^aw-ab^'j

^ ty and often, was brought to book, we doubt if
the police and other criminal records would not
- show an alarming increase in the aggregate
number of malefactors.
We very much question if we did not
change one Intoxicant for another when we
traded whiskey for gasoline. Life is about
as safe with a man drunk on whiskey as with
•ne drunk on the fumes of gas. A fool at the
u wheel of an automobile is perhaps more dan-
k gerous to the peace and order of hu. community

That 942 miles of railroad were abandoned
last year and sold for junk while 962 miles of
new road were built was a close race against a
stalemate in rallroad development in this coun

af new road was the lowest since the War Be

were constructed. It is apparent tint the rail
