SATDBDAY, NOVEMBER 533, 1007 RECKLESS RUNNING. 'While the blame for Friday's street car collision has not yet been defln- fbred by either the railroad authorities or the local police department, has been found out about the cause to show that the recklessness of or more employes of the company Is responsible; and that, instead of surprised that the accident occurred, it is surprising that something lar did not occur sooner. The railroad company and the people on the ked car may be congratulated that the results were no worse than the more or less serious, of nearly a dozen men. Under similar condi- there is usually loss of life. Two causes appear to be responsible for the accident.

One was the running of the cars, the other apparent Inattention to duty on the part motormen. The first is an offense ol long standing. People living the line of track where the accident occurred declare that it has been custom of motormen, particularly those on interurban cars, to run much or than the speed allowed by ordinance. The practic ol "stealing a which also contributed to the accident, is likewise said to be com- The men in charge of the interurban cars are under instructions to over the road" as rapidly as possible, and many of them have resort- to the practice ot running beyond passing points and forcing the city to remain at distant switches. How far the railroad authorities have ftware of this practice is not known, but everyone else familiar with peratidn of the lines in the city, seems to have been aware of it for a time past.

Still, even the attempt to "steal a switch," with its consequent high does not fully account for the accident. lie city car, carrying a number of passengers, must have got on the 'track in ample time to have sighted the approaching Interurban car, ed and backed up, had the motorman been conscientiously looking out the rules require him to do. It must have emerged from the tch, too, in ample time to have been seen by the motonnan ot the other and stopped Between the Scott street switch and Baltimore and Ohio crossing Is a stretch of something like 3,000 feet of ight track, and there was nothing to obstruct the view of either motor- u. Theie was no reason, save lack of attention to the duty in hand, for se men not seeing each other and stopping long before there was any dan- of a collision. That they did not see each other until it was too late to 'd the crash, indicates that both were looking in the wrong direction and cding their cars with reckless disregard for the safety of themselves and BeJvhose lives were entrusted to their care.

Some months ago attention was called in these columns to the practice- some of the motormen on the city lines of not keeping their eyes on the It ahead. If we remember aright, instances wei cited of these employ- holding extended and animated conversations with passengers and other loyes inside their cars while running, looking out onlj occasionally at the ck. The late General Manager F. J. Stout was seriously distmbed by se reports and issued stringent ordeis that all motormen should obey the les in this respect and also obey the speed ordinances Ho asked the of the public in securing both good seivice and safe running a time conditions were vastly improved; but according to reports, the been lax in these regards for some time past.

e' unfortunate occurrence of Fi iday--foi tunate in that it did not re in loss of life--should have the effect not only of moving the railroad lOrities to greater vigilance in the enforcement of their mips, but of in- irlng employes to greater care fhe opeiation of their cars And this ter care should be exercised not only on the portion of the line upon Ich the accident occurred, but also upon all of the city lines Reckless ning in the past has not been confined to an; one portion of the city es, but has, at times, been universal Especial caie should bo exercised, on those lines which are used jointly hv the city and intei urban It may cause some loss of time, but time is not important where hum- llfs Is concerned It la just about as easy to amend the constitution of Oklahoma as It Is a law.

No court has yet tured to declare a constitution unconstitutional. The quibblers are again raising hair-splittinp questions about the right rthe general assembly to hold a special session.

The board of education Friday eve- nine, took the first step towards establishing a depository of its own, as required by 'law. In a recent report of the state department on the, conditions of the Erie county school districts, one of the faults found with the Sandusky district was the fact that the board had no depositoiy of its own. Mr. Lockwood, of the finance committee introduced the resolution which is to provide for the depository. The deposits are to commence January 2, 1908, and continue for a period of two years Proposals from all city banks are solicited, and the bids will be opened December 12 The anti-fraternity rule, which received its first reading at the last meeting, was again lead Friday evening and passed the board bv a unani mous vote.
