demolished the rear end Of a train
oaded with employees Of the West Milwaukee
Wis., shops of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul Railroad, killing seven men and in
iuring several others. The trains were moving
b the same direction, the workmen's train
having just left the main track on short
witch and strung itself out on track paral-
el with the main line. The switchman,
Emil Bartel, failed to turn the switch after
she workmen's train, and the local. q moment
ater, passed on to the side track and tele-
scoped the rear car.
The seven men killed were terribly man
gled. The engineer of the local reversed his
machine, but not soon enough to avert the
disaster. The work Of recovering the bodies
was begun at once. Patrol wagons and
ambulances were soon at hand, and in
half an hour all had been removed to the

local and four cars of the workmen's train
were thrown from the track, but none Of the
locals passengers were hurt. Bartel disap-
peared, but was arrested at o'clock that

Free Passes.


The Interstate Commerce Commission
proposes to investigate the right of Con-
gress or Legislature to forbid railroad CON-
panles from issuing so called free passes
to editors, and we presume the decision
will be that no legislative body, State or
National, has the right to interfere with
The private business of editors.
But the phrase "free pass" has no appli-
cation TO the press. For every mile trav-
eled by an editor he has paid in advance
from ten to one hundred times first-ellss
rates.
What factor so potent in building a
railroad as the press What volumes are
written in explanation of the advantages
TO he derived from its construction What
appeals are made to parties along the line
to take stock, to donate lands, to grant
right of way 7 How every step of the
work, from the turning of the first spade
full of earth to the drying of the last
spike, is chronicled by the press. And
when the road is in operation how many
hundred of dollars of free advertising
does 1t receive yearly from each paper
along the line.
Gree pass y Why the veteran railroad
man knows as well as The veteran editor
that there is no such thing, and the idea
that an editor, who probably does not
ride ten miles yearly over road, would
give said scores of columns of free adver-
Using for the mere sake of a "free pass"
is too absurd TO be credited by any one
save the idiot who calls the newspaper
man a theatrical dead head"
There is no class of men who perform
so much gratutOus work for railroads,
charitable institutions, and the public
welfare generally as newspaper men, and
none who receive so little credit for their
work. But no editor rides on "free
pass" or is "Jead head" anywhere.
