PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

Along the street I drive my car, my rate of speed/is safe and slow. I pull up where the children are, and give pedestrians Some day pedestrians will be, by statute, from our highways cast, for any candid man must see that they’re a nuisance, first and last. But since they are permitted here, in spite of motorists’ appeals, I hold it wise my car to steer so they won’t get beneath the wheels. I watch the street where’er I go, and dodge all live stock gone astray,* and toot my horn that men may know my juggernaut js on the way.
