quotes from the report Of United States

1898 when automatic car couplers began
to be used the annual number of railroad
employees killed and wounded in the
country was over 1000 and this annual
loss by the use of such appliances had
shrunk gradually till last year the num-
Der of killed and wounded from that
cause was less than 5000. Il saving of
5000 per year in killed and manned not
withstanding the fact that there are over
200, 900 more railroad employees than
there were in 1898. The commission
state in their report that they hoped to
see this loss entirely wiped out by the
enforcement of the law. They call at
tention to the fact that tie Supreme
Court of North Carolina was the first to
enforce its requirements in the Greenleaf
and Troxler cases and other courts have

VIEWS OF SPEAKER MITCHELL.


Speaker Mitchell, who has i'm
pressed all by his fairness as a pre-
siding officer and his earnest desire
to produce good legislation, has been
somewhat annoyed by unnecessary
delays which have occurred.
Mr.. Mitchell said: "No one can be
more alive to the evils of hasty legis-
lation than l am or more opposed to
rai'roading bills through the Legis-
lature, but there are extremes in all
things; and am sensible that too
much of this session has been con,
sumed in needless discussions. There
have been, as all of us know, too
many personalities ndulged i'll, which
have subserved no public purpose.
But am glad to see that good feel
ing seems to prevail now and that
there is a disposition to attend to the
work Of the session. There is plenty
of good material in the House of
Delegates and Ihave confidence in the
desire of the members to do what is
right. Our files are now full of bills
and there is a vast amount of work
to be done. l hope the remainder of
the session, which will soon draw to
a close, will be devoted to business
and that discussion will be kept
within proper limits. "-Baltimore

To the Public.

Inotice In last weeks issue of two of tn,
county papers that the Board of Town Com
missioncrs of Bel Air had dispensed with tn,
services of a town bailiff, and that the policing
of the town would be ~ the hands of tho
Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff.
As to the ACCESSIBILITY of the Boards action
In dispensing with the services of n police
officer, have nothing to say. but can assure
both the residents of the town and the public
that it does not come within the province
of my duty. neither do intend, in any man
ner, to take part in any local policing that
any incorporated town may require.
My duties as Sheriff require me to serve
every State warrant that is brought to me,
and this will do to the best of my ability
while Sheriff of this county. Further than
that l wish 1t distinctly understood that

crnment of Bel Air other than that of any

WHAT CONSTITUTES BEAUTY

The world is governed today quite as
much, nay more than it was in the dark
ages, by the beauty of its women, and
while the woman of brains by hard work
and mere force gains a position of in
fuence and Importance. the woman of
beauty floats into her kingdom with the
trick of a dimple or the flirt of an eye
lash. Assuming artists to be theclass of
people most capable of Judging what
beauty really is, THE DELINEAToR show 5
in its April issue large number OF
pictures by some of the worlds masters,
an interesting commentary by N. Hudson
Moore accompanying it. Wits, poets,
grave snd reverend men have all essayed
to lay down positive rules as to what
beauty is The ordinary mortal, how
ever, is usually content to find his ideal
of beauty beside his own hearthstone; for
him, beauty sis engendered in the eyes,
with gazing fed"

The Egis like many other news
papers, feels somewhat complimented
when its contemporaries deem any
original matter published therein
worthy of republication i'll their
columns. We do not object to this
occasionally, without giving proper
credit, but the matter has gone so
far that we do not feel that it is fair
to ourselves to further pass it un-
noticed. 1t has been our aim never
torepublish a single line from any
exchange without crediting it and we
think that common justice demands
that this rule should be invariably
followed. Our newspaper friends will
of course understand that this is only
said in the kindest manner, for our
common vocation is simply a labor
of love under the most favorable
auspices, and we only mention it be-

1t is absurd to say that the residents
of Bush River Neck know what is
best for those who live in Norrisville
precinct or vice versa. In matter
like this, every community ought to
be its own Judge. In this particular,
the State Temperance Law, which
has been prepared under the direction
ofthe Temperance Alliance, recognizes
the point, and all that they ask III
their bills that each local community
shall make its own decision.
If the question is not submitted,
the condition of the public mind at
the present time, at least so far as the
same comes under our personal
knowledge, is such as to render the
the law dead letter and we, who
are situated in the more populous
parts of the county, will be subjected
to all the baneful influences without
any hope for redress until the next
Legislature shall be elected. THERE'S
a strong sentiment at the present
time that should our present mem
bers not heed this request the ques'
ton of the submission of this law
will be made all issue in the next
campaign. Matters have now reach
ed such climax that the best citi
zens without regard to politics have
made up their minds to take hold o.
the matter themselves and see if they
cannot have their respectful petition:

SAIL TRZMMERS.

A familiar character in every day
ordinary life is the man who tries to
be popular. The acme of his ambi-
ton is to be hale fellow we'll met,
who possesses no individual opinion
of his own, but is always ready and
willing to agree with the fellow with
whom he is talking. From a trifling
matter like the condition of the
weather up to the most important
question ofState hei is always anxious
to be on the popular side. For a
time this doubtless works we'll but
there always comes a day of reckon
ing, when his friends commence to
compare notes; then his deceit is
made apparent and he soon becomes
the laughing stock ofthe community.
Then there is another kind Of
fellow. The one who never has a
leading thought. When any ques-
ton comes up, whether it is controll-
ing a church choir or voting for presi-
dent, he will always conceal his own
thoughts until he can discover the
trend OF public opinion and then
gracefully fall in shouting 81 told
you So" From the day Of creation
up to the present time, men have
honestly differed. 1t was intended
to create in each individual some in
dependent thought; and while we
may disagree with our neighbor, if
he is the right sort of a man, we will
respect his opinion though diametri-
cally opposite to ours.
At present the agitation of a very
important question is engrossing the
attention of every thinking citizen
in this county and there's hardly one
who has not already expressed an
opinion on this matter. A few sail
trimmers, however, who seem to be
in doubt as to which way the popular
breeze is going to blow, are holding
in the background watching the
weathervane, eager to fall in with
the prevailing wind. Whether in
newspaper or private life these peo-
pie are always dangerous elements
to the community. Sometimes, the
force of circumstances has placed in
their hands certain elements of
strength which are calculated to in
fuence the public mind. Unfortunate
ly, they too often are moved by the
mercenary principle of trying to get
on the popular side, whether it is
right or wrong.
Instead of taking advantage of the
useful position in which they have
been placed, in attempting to mould
public opinion i'll the manner that
conscience may dictate, they prefer to
rank with those lucky characters
who always light on the winning
side.
Some people are watching with in
terest this chrysalis, waiting to see it
develop into a beautiful golden
winged butterfly, chasing along its
merry course, happy in no other
thought than that it is being carried
in the direction of the wind of public
sent itt1ernt
