Asheville newspapers are making war against the reckless running of motorcycles through the streets of that city. It is a form of warfare which almost any community can righteously promote, but it should not be confined strictly to this specific form of motor madness. There are other kinds. The average manner of automobile drivers is reckless at one time or another. The laws are not enforced any too rigidly and the laws themselves are such as to make violations not only easy, but almost unavoidable. There should be a series of statutes regulatory of the driving of machines which conform to reason and then they should be enforced without favor, in every community in North Carolina and along the highways of the county as well as the streets of the city.
