Abolish the Grade Crossing.

Il TUIH tHe CuTUOIuUIe I1VTuIu.
The grade crossing Is a libel on civiliza-
ton. None should be allowed to exist
where one Of the intersecting highways
is a steam railway. Not even an ordinary
highway should be allowed to cross a
steam road at grade. Corporations who
are granted certain privileges should be
compelled to adopt the necessary pre-
cautions for the safety of the public from
whom they derive their profits. II they
cannot do this and make their enterprises
pay, it is their own lookout Every
state in the Union should adopt policy
at once which will tend toward the aboli-
ton of the grade crossing and the pre-
vention of the extension of the nuisance
as il exists.
