nrAR-FND COLLISION

The terrible accident on the Jersey
Central railroad in which more than
a score OF lives were lost, calls atten-
ton anew to the dangers of travel.
the old tale Of rear-end collisions is re-
peated. and the usual result is chroni-
cled: havoc among the passengers Of
the local. The fast moving train rare
ly meets with serious accident, but the
train that is moving slowly is usually
telescoped. as in this case, with the
most fearful results.
It is the custom in such cases t'
blame the officials of the road for
lack of proper precaution, and undoubt
edly this is often a contributory cause
but no system that has yet been in
vented can eliminate the personal fac
tor. There is always a man who hold
human lives in his hands. When h

The increase Of salary which the
Federal judges are to receive is a
proper recognition Of the invaluable
services OF this distinguished body Of
men. The Supreme Court Of the United
states is regarded as the greatest tri-
bunal Of law in the world, but it is
no discredit to that body 10 say that
many OF our circuit and district judges
could be elevated to the bench Of that
tribunal without any loss TO it Of in
tegrity or acumen. A lawyer qualified
to become Federal judge of the aver
age character. could earn far more II
practice than on the bench, and on th'
theory that the laborer is worthy o
