ELECTRIC RAILWAY SPEED.
Numerous Fatalities Engaging the
Attention of Authorities In
Some States.

The regulation of speed on the cleo.
trio railways in the countryside is en-
gaging the attention Of authorities in
some of the states, says the Philadel.
phil Ledger. The fatalities occurring
on these lines are due principally to
grade crossings and to the immoder-
ate speed of the cars in descending
hills. The rapidity with which trolley
cars may be run is subject to. local
regulation. 1t is not recalled that
there are any general acts touching
the matter in force anywhere, though
caution in the management of cleo
trio street car lines has been urged
upon the companies by the state au-
thorities to whom the reports Of steam
and electric railroads are made. The
superintendent Of the Pennsylvania
bureau of railways has in one or more
reports called attention to the reck-
less operation of street railways In
this state, and advised caution. The
loss OF life chargeable to the electric
roads in 1902 in the United States il
great, relatively, to the casualties on
the steam roads. The deaths from
steam railroad accidents during tho
year numbered 3,165, and AIS persons
were killed and 2,144 seriously injured
in electric car accidents.

The Campbell Verdict.

editorial about "Richmond's Banks. " In
hat editorial our esteemed contemporary
bays:
On December 10Th, 1896, the bank de-
posts Of Richmond amounted to SlO,OS9,
O5l ,S5: on September 10th, 1909, to $2l,
SS7, O4009. 1t will be seen from this
that our deposits more than doubled dur
ing that period. The increase was $l2,
600, 600, or 11S per cent, and this large
increase enabled the banks and trust
companies to augment their accommoda-
tons to customers in the way of loans and
discounts more than 1000, 900, or 70 per-
cent"
We are justified in believing that the
same financial conditions that exist ID
Richmond, and which give such unbound
ed satisfaction to our contemporary, are
to be found, comparatively, in every city,
town and county in the United States
With such facts confronting it what reason
is there for the Times Dispatch declariI g
our present currency system radically
wrong and urging return to free BANK
ing system, which, when tried IN TINS
country, furnished currency so unsound
as to unsettle all classes Of businessY
Again, with the facts, as detailed by the
Times. Dispatch, confronting it, what sense
is there in urging return to tariff policy
that when adopted in this country brought
disaster to all its industrial interests? In
1896, when the deposits in the banks OF
Richmond amounted to only $4,000, OOO'
the tariff for revenue policy of the Demo
cratic party was in operation and had
been for three years. in 1902, when the
deposits in the banks of Richmond
amounted t. S2l 100000, the protection
tariff policy of the Republican party hau
been in operation for five years?
The Times, Dispatch on the financial and
tariff questions is looking backward. On
other important questions its face is turned
ID the front Why does it cease to be pro-
gressive when it gives its attention to
economic questions?

HE TRUSTED THE PEOPLE.
And the People Trusted President RoOse
Welt in Return.

Chicago Inter Ocean,
When Theodore Roosevelt succeeded 10
the Presidency man with whom political
tact was both an instinct and fine art
many gravely doubted bis success as con.
structive leader. Many thought him too
lmpetuous in speech and too strenuous in
method to secure the cooperation of Con-
gress, and predicted the failure of his poll
cies.
But Theodore Roosevelt kept right on.
He kept right on talking to the American
people. He told them not only what he
wanted, but also how and why he wanted
it, and why they ought to have it for their
own benefit. He took the people more
directly into confidence as to what he
wanted than any President since Lincoln,
and more completely why he wanted it
than any President since Jackson.
And he had his reward. Within less
than year after Congress adjourned, a.
most in open opposition to the President,
and filed with secret cabals to discredt
him, practically all his program has been
put upon the statute book by that same
Congress. The canal and Cuban treaties
will soon be ratified by an extra session of
the Senate. Adequate tariff concessions
to the Philippines may yet be made. All
the rest is accomplished.
Theodore Roosevelt trusted the people
and took them into bis confidence. And
the people trusted Theodore Roosevelt
and rose up and voted their confidence in
him. And Congress heard the voice Il
the people and obeyed.
