Attention. is called to the fact that
railway express trains run much faster
than formerly, and that many persons
do net realize the increased danger in
crossing the track. In one second a
last express sometimes covers 10 feet,
and in i've seconds an eighth Of a mile.
Those who have been familiar with n
crossing for many years are most apt to
forget the changed eonditions.-St.
Louis Globe-nemocrat.
The man who holds public Office
should realize that he is simply there

Did il ever occur TO you it is rather
ridiculous the way the railroads are
managed For instance a rad Is built,
bonds are sold, officers elected and the
machine starts up. By and by the
small holders are frozen out and pretty
soon the stock is in the hands Of few
men who have no business honor and
they proceed to wreck the road. Then
the government must step in. The
property Is taken IN hand. debts paid,
everything pat in shape and as soon As
the road Is again % a paving basis, it is
not kept and operated for the benefit Of
the people buI i handed over again to
the ursekers who in their oxn good time
