OTHERS ALSO HAVE RIGHTS.

Monticello Herald: The members of the Chicago Antomobile Club have returend to their homes after their tour to Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. Reports come from all along their route, both going and returning, of accidents caused by horses becoming frightened at their machines and from their reckless running. In many cases when an accident occured they did not stop to ascertain how bad it was but increased their speed and rapidly sped away from unwelcome injury. The average antomobilist seems to think that he owns the earth and that the common mortal has no rights that he is bonnd to respect when on the road with his machine. It is recognized that the automobile as a conveyance is here to stay bnt the ones who rnn them must remember that others have equal rights on the highways.
