After electricity and inventive renius
have done their best to supply auto
matte signaling devices the safety of
railway travel depends upon the man
IN the switch tower. The engineer
may be ever SO watchful and faithful
and the signal devices ever SO ingeni-
GUS and efficient. but If the man who
operates the switches and signals
makes a mistake disaster of some
sort Is inevitable. This is the consen
sus OF opinion Of the men who handle
the switches and signals on the big
railroads centering In Chicago, as as
certained through interviews. All agree
that double-tracked roads equipped
with block signals present the great
est immunity from accidents and col
lisions. There is no disposition on the
part OF swftchmen to depreciate the
value OF automatic devices or to dis
credit their good work in averting ac-
cident. In fact it is pointed out that
all OF the recent railway disasters can
be traced to carelessness on the part
of some railroad man. But after all
mechanical safeguards have been pro-
vided the safety of travel rests ulti-
mately with the employees who manip-
ulate signals and switches and execute
train orders. Attention Is called by
the Chicago Record Herald to the fact
that about 5000 engines and trains
must pass the signal tower near the
tunnel under the Lake Shore at Clark
and 10th streets every twenty-four
hours. and yet so carefully are the
switches and signals handled that
there has not been a serious accident
at this point since track lowering was
completed four years ago. The de-
mand is, therefore, for safe men as
well as safety signaling devices. The
man In the signal tower should be
clear-brained, clear-sighted, alert,
watchful and faithful. Men who are
considered for these positions should
be subjected to rigid mental and ply
steal examination. They should then
be required to work reasonable hours
and should be given the rest that is
necessary to insure the highest efi-
cheney.

Anere may De cynical persons upon
whom Mr.. Carnegie's buoyancy of
spirits and optimism will act like black
bile. And II such there be they will
say that it Is easy to be cheerful with
an income of millions a year, and that
laughing while others work Is an en-
ployment that would not be ungrateful
to most men. But to laugh during ones
work, as Mr.. Carnegie advises, IL GER
tainly much better than to weep or to
grumble. A sunny temper helps in the
immediate task; it helps to preferment.
II it Is combined with industry and
fair ability 1t counts for good work and
for success every moment Its influ-
| ence is always beneficial, and the cir
cumstances Of the rich ironmaster do
not affect the soundness Of his doc
trine. Rich and poor should subscribe
to that doctrine with equal heartiness
and recognize that the way toward
which this joyous teacher points Is the
way Of health, strength and happiness.
At the same time it might be urged
that he should have been a little more
Of competence. While we are all
agreed that superfuous wealth is su-
perfiu0us, there must be considerable
variety of opinion as to the exact sum
that should be laid aside for the rainy
day and the days of LIES decline. Mr..
Carnegie lets in just glimmer Of
light on his personal convictions con-
corning the subject when he says that
he himself Is loaded with somewhat
more than a competence. But we
should like more accurate weighing
of the load. The modest word some
what" suggests that perhaps it was
only the last million that made itself
felt as burden. Yet 1t IL possible
that the strain began with the last ten
million or the second hundred million.
In any case, a competence can hardly
mean the same thing to him that 1t
does to the day laborer, and though he
advises well it Is doubtful II he would
be content with the smaller compe
tence which he approves. There is the
castle In Scotland which he would
have to resign, and those frequent and
pleasant trips abroad. They are not
strictly necessary. and yet when one
had formed the habit OF castles and
long journeys some pent-up suburb Of
small homes in the vicinity of Pitts
burg might leave something to be de-
sired. But a competence that has been
won through years Of toll with the
help Of wife who has been
a good manager sometimes goes no fur
Their than the humblest Of homes and
the slenderest Of incomes, and 1t hap
pens occasionally that the hardest Of
struggles does not bring even such a
competence. The promise 10 never Ger
tain. and yet in spite of all this there

ply. Laughter IL q tonic, worry 10 .
