WANrON SACRIFICE OF LIFE.

When We study the statistics ofthe
railroad accidents OF this country, we
become appalled, at the enormity OF
the figures showing the manned and
killed by the publiccarrierseaeh year.
The report of the Interstate Com
merce commit. eshows that the quar-.
ter ending March 31st last the total
aggregate Casualties were S27 killed
and Il, 4S1 injured. OF these 800 per-
sons we're killed and ,, S34 injured in
train accidents, the rest includes accid-
ents to employees, passengers getting
on and off cars, etc. II the figures for
the first quarter are carried out for
the full year we have the startling
totals of 3,30S killed and 1924 In
iured by the railroads OF the United
States in one year.
There must be something radically
wrong in the management OF thee
great properties topermit such start
ling results. Human life is held very
cheaply by these great corporations.
when it can be 30 wantonly sacrificed.
And the law makers OF our land com.
placently view such results with but
feeble efforts to regulate them.
In no other country on the globe
could such a sacrifice of human life
be made by the common carriers.
Until these railroad companies are
made to understand that they have
got to arrange their schedules to
absolutely prevent collisions, under
severe penalties, and employees to
know that they will be held to the
law for murder when life is sacrificed
by their carelessness, this condition
will continue.
Human life is too sacred to be thus
wantonly sacrificed to pay dividends
on watered stocks. Enforce by the
most rigid laws railroads to employ
only competent, careful and pains.
taking employee, stop the wild
cat, cannon BALI and fast mall
time. Permit trains to run on
schedule time and when the road be-
tween stations is known to be clear,
and prosecute for murder when life is
sacrificed by carelessness or incom-
potency.

SAID
TO BE INVOLVED IN
STAR ROUTE FRAUDS.
Government Inspectors Report
May Expose fragrant Vic.
IatiOns Of Law in In
dian Territory.
Big Scandal is Anticipated.

Muscogee, l. t., July 27.-There is
now being unearthed in Indian Ter
ritory one OF the biggest star route
postal frauds that has been exposed
in long time. c. +. McGinnis, as.
sistant to the Second Assistant Post
master General, has been In the Ter
ritory for several weeks and left this
city for Washington last night.
1t has since been learned from the
very best authorities that he will
cause stir in postal circles when be
makes his report. 1t will involve
two or three companies in Missouri
and two national banks In the same
State and more than 100 postal
routes here.
There has been a company there
which has over 100 mail con-
tracts in Indian Territory, all OF
which have been sublet contrary to
law, the Missouri company getting
per cent of the profits and thep par.
ties with whom they deal there get
ting Is. 1t Is believed that war
rants will be issued for more than
twenty persons in Indian Territory
within ten days, and there will be
several for persons in Missouri, some
OF whom have been mixed up in a
similar affair before.
Copies of the contracts between the
Missouri firm and the subcontractors
have been found, and are in the pos
session of the Inspectors. The direct
result OF the discovery OF fraud will
be the canceling OF the old contract
covering the routes from Muscogee
to Lee; Muscogee to Ball Hill; Lee to
Stone Bluff; Wagner to Choska;
Noweta to Choska; thirteen routes
running out OF Checotah and thirty
five routes in the Chickasaw Nation.
McGinnis says there are more than
100 OF these contracts, and in some
Of them the persons interested have
made profit OF 1920 per month.
New contracts are to be advertised
for ut once.
1t took the Inspector thirteen
weeks to locate the man who was
supposed to have the contracts run.
ming out Of Ada in the Chickasaw
Nation. and when be found him be
found 17.year-old boy. This boy
is said to have been recommended BY
q national bank In Missouri and was
supposed to live in Missouri. Hehad
never been out Of the Indian Terri
tory.
McGinnis caused q big stir here.
he did not giye up the names Of any
Of the persons connected with the
frauds, but 1t has since been learned
that his reports will recommend the
removal Of several Postmaster in
the smaller Offices and one in one Of
the largest Offices in the Territory.
There will also b involved some Of
the most prominent citizens in Indian
Territory and the national banks
which cashed the warrants for the
subcontractors.

JUDGE GRAVES CHOSEN.
To Try the Doodle Cases at Ief-
ferson City.

Judge HAZEL was sworn of the
bench at Jefferson City on Tuesday
and Judge W. W Graves was agreed
on to try the indicted senator's, Far
ris, Sullivan and Matthews. This is
just compliment to Judge Graves
by the eminent council on both sides,
who recognize his ability and sbso-
lutte fairness. Judge Graves left Tor
Jefferson City on Tuesday night
j, fferson City, July % Judge Wal
Ter W. Graves OF Butler will sit in the
place Of Judge HAZEL in the trial OF
the Farri. and Smith cases. He prom.
ised to be here tomorrow morning 80
there will be no loss oitimein getting
the Judge to preside at the trials.
Judge Graves Is one Of the best
known judges In Western Missouri.
He has tried a number OF big cases
from Jackson county including the
case against Z. E. Washburn. In that
case he was reversed by the supreme
court though Washburn's attorneys
were inclined to believe that Graves
had the best OF the law in the case.
The move by the defendent for a
change OF judges was rather sudden.
Up to late this forenoon there had
not been an intimation of what was
intended but lute in the forenoon the
defendents became disturbed because
they thought Judge HAZEL turned
them down rather hastily and they
began to hint at prejudice. Later In
the day they filed affidavits charging
that Judge HAZEL was preiudiced
against the defense, and for that
reason incompetent to try the casep.

Although there is at present an
apparent dearth of issues between
the two great political parties of the
country, for the next presidential
campaign, when the time for action
comes there will doubtless be found
a diversity of opinion sufficient to
make the contest a very interesting
one. The recent introduction in
Congress, by representative from
North Carolina, of resolution for
the repeal of the fifteenth amend
ment, is in effect a formal notice
that the race problem is to be taken
into politics. Upon this question
the Democratic managers of the
South hope to present solid South
against a divided North, and thus
win in the next presidential contest
next year. In view of this evident
attempt to solidify the South for the
Democratic presidential nominee, it
is of the utmost importance that the
Republicans of Wisconsin pull them
selves together and keep this state
in the Republican column.
The most effective wav to secure
that party harmony essential to par
ty success, is for the rank and file,
who regard the perpetuation of Re-
publican principles of far greater
moment than the success of either
faction of the party, to attend the
primaries and by their votes give
expression 10 sentiment demanding
that the promoters of factional strife
be relegated to the rear. This, in
effect, would mean the nomination
for governor, of some capable man
who has not been prominently identi-
fed with either of the warning fac
tions of the party. 1t is quite pro-
bable that this idea would not favor
ably impress the present incumbent
of the executive office, but its mani
fest fairness ought to appeal to the
patriotism of his followers, as well
as to that of the so-called stalwarts.
