POOR SYSTEM

B. & O.company than any other In
operation. Young men will be
promoted to responsible positions
by the company long before they
are competent to fill them. Moth
but experience will ever make a
practical railroad man, and no In
dividual should receive a promo
tion until he Is thoroughly familiar
with all the details In connection
with the position to which he as
pires. It Is too often the case that
incompetent men are placed In
charge of trains, and as result
many innocent people lose their
lives. The matter Is entirely Of a
too serious nature to be tolerated
longer. and halt should be called
by the people to force all railroad
companies to employ only expert
enced and competent men to oper-
ate their roads. When this rule Is
inaueurated and complied with by
railroads, a much more thorough
and safer system will have been
established. And until this IS done
fatalities will continue to occur as
In the past.

A car of plastering arrived In the
city yesterday over the B. & o.
railroad that left Wheeling fifteen
days ago consigned to this city for
contractor John J. Rea. 1t had
been switched off through negli-
gence at Benwood, Moundsville,
and New Martinsvllle. The B. &
o. R. R. company has undoubtedly
the poorest shipping and passen-
ger system of any other road In the
United States. One reason for the
efficiency Is that the company try
to operate the road entirely too
cheap. And the worst feature of
the matter Is, that the management
of the road never profits by the
costly experience. What the COM
pany needs most Is practical rail-
road men and more of them. Cheap
employees are the dearest In the
end. Keep good men and pay
them according to their ability.
1t Is a we'll established fact
throughout the country that more
wrecks occur on the roads of the
