GRADE CROSSINGS AGAIN.

The horrible death OF Mr.. George G. Nc
Intire by being crushed under a railway
train at Langdon citation last evening
again calls attention in a most emphatic
way to the criminal institution of the grade
crossing. In the city such crossings are
an hourly menace to life and limb. Mr..
McIntire's murder shows that the country
grade crossing is fully as vicious, bus
merely lees destructive, because the popu-
lation is less dense.
In no other country in the world LIS the
grade crossing permitted as it Is in America.
In Great Britain, even in the most remote
rural regions, If a crossing at the grade
of the turnpike roads be maintained, there
are either gates OF flagrnen or nagwomen,
which inquire by their defense and watch
fui,iess, the safety OF all who pass the rail.
ways. Usually the railroad companies are
compelled to build the turnpikes under
or over their tracks, and this system Is en-
forced generally in all European countries.
In America the grade crossing is the rule
outeide of the cities, and 1t obtains in nearly
all cities, excepting where the railroad
companies find it profitable to themselves
to sink or elevate their tracks to facilitate
the movement of trains.
In no city is there a more complete lack
of protection than in Washington. 1t is
a Disgrace to the whole country, and dis
grace to the national Legislature that such
criminal conditions should be perpetuated,
but SO long as corporations value dollars
above human life and go long as corpora
tions hold Cong ressional committees by
the throat, just SO long will the murderous
grade crossing remain q monument to indi
vidual greed and legislative corruption.

The Old Rail Fence.

What lazy fence the old rail fence was.
Like a thriitless, drunken lout it zig
Jagged across quarter sections and half Sec
tions, apparently indifferent to time aud
caring not whether it got across the hill
next week or next year, but its windings
were so graceful and so restful to the eye
that not even Thrift could be impatient
with it.
The old rail fence belongs to an age
which has forever passed in Iowa. 1t is a
past which, though it was sighless, almost
all pleasure, in fact, is now recalled only
with regrets and signs because it is forever
past, and many of our dear ones have de-
parted with it. When we were children, we
used to wonder and wonder where the old
fence ran to, where it stopped as it wound
over hills and through valleys out of sight,
out into the great unknown of childhood.
Now, when we are children of larger
growth, the problem has changed, but its
solution is just as hard, and we wonder and
wonder where our friends and dear ore:
have gone to over hills and through valleys
at the awful and solemn summons of death
But the flowers of hope bloom along tn,
pathway just as the goldenrod blossomeC

Civilization Retrogading.

The extortionate rates of railroads
in California have compelled the peo-
pie of that state to go back to the old
system of freighting with teams. Hear
what California exchange says and
ask yourself if it is not time for gov.
ernment ownership of railroads:
"Seropion Bros, commission mer-
chants of Fresno, Cal, and C. "A. Camp
bell, who has hauled freight for nearly
twenty years on the western slopes OF
the Sierras, have hit upon plan by
which they hope to be independent Of
the Southern Pacific railroad and it's
enormous freight charges. Campbell
left Fresno on Thursday with ten mule
teams and two wagons loaded with
about ten tons of dried figs bound for
San Francisco, distance of 212 miles.
He expects to reach here by Nov. "a,
and return load is waiting for him.
Campbell is confident that he will
make fair profit out of his venture,
while the Seropion Bros. say they will
save IL cents per 100 pounds on car
load lots, and 20 cents per 100 ON less
than a carload. Shippers throughout
the San Joaquin valley are watching
the experiment with intense interest,
and if it proves a success hundreds Of
wagons and men and thousands Of
mules and horses will be employed in
the freighting business once more"

THE MORTGAGE MILL.
Justice, Right and Equity Disregarded
by PlutOcratic Judges.

Justice, Right and Equity DisregaYded
by Plutocratic Judges.
The following, from the Kansas
Commoner, is worthy of careful read
ing and considerations:
''And still the mortgage mill is swift
ly and surely grinding out It's grist
and rendering the people homeless and
in debt
The foreclosure of mortgage is a
proceeding in equity, yet the District
court seldom exercises their equity
powers in these cases. Doubtless many
judges would do so, were it not that
their hands are tied by decision of
the plutocratic, monopolistic and COR
poration sympathizing Supreme court
OF the state, which declares that when
ever sheriff sells a piece of property
under the hammer no matter
what the bid, the sale shall not be
held invalid on account of made
qusay of price. "A farm worth $4,000
may be sold for $1O, the sale confirmed
anr: She District court would have no
SAY as to whether it was just, right or
eG'ltab BILE, to let valuable property 90
Tor little or nothing and leave a. iudg-
ment to hang oyer debtor. so as to
forever keep him crushed to earth
The Popalist judges, Mckay and
Bashore, however, do exercise their
equity powers when it comes to con.
hrming these sheriff sales of mortpaped
property, and whenever the property
IS reasonably worth the face of the
mortgage that they refuse to confirm
any OF these sales unless the mort.
gagee will cancel the debt and free tho
debtor. This is justice, right and
equity But Shylock is displeased
with this kind of work and has taken
several cases up to the Supreme court
and expects that august (?) body will re.
verse the judgments Of these EQUITABLE
district judges in favor of the confsca.
ton and redemption policy practiced
by the majority of the District courts
The people, however, wanted
money shark usury taker, and a man
who cared more for the affairs of New
York city than for Kansas, for gov.
ernor,and plutocratic corporation at
torney, who rendered the decision
above referred to, for Judges on the
Supreme bench, and they NAV now
take the consequences, and ought not
to mur1nur They have practically
said to the Shylock powers that con.
troll, "Foreclose our mortgages; drive
us from our homes; confiscate orr
property; repudiate all the hard
earnings we have put into them to i'm
prove and build them up, and thou o
railroad, take all that we can earn
above the bare necessities of existence,
1t seems as if the prayer of David
against his enemies, in the Tooth psalm
had been repeated by shylock against
the debtor of the land, which PRAYER
is being answered to the letter.
Set thou wicked man over him.
