POLITICAL DEBAUCHERY.

"Special-privilege corporations, such
as Inter State railroads, surface and
elevated lines in our large cities. have
been the most prolific cause Of the de-
moralization and the debaucuery Of
American politics, municipal as well
as national. The pass has not infre-
ouently been the first insidiouS step
toward that debauchery. Good gov
ernment will not be had until this
cancer is removed and the whole sys-

DIES IN THE SURF.
Well Know's Resident OF Augusta Be-

cores III While Bathing.
The Charleston correspondent OF
the Augata Chronicle says: Mr..
James Wright, Of 62S Broad street,
Augusta, Ca, jeweller for Wm.
Schweigert s. Co., lost his life in the
surf at the Isle of Palms between IL
and o'clock Sunday as the result Of
a stroke Of appopley, while in bathing
with his family and friends, from
Augusta.
The surf was very strong, as a re-
suit OF late stormy weather and nearly
all the bathers we're staying In shallow
water. Mr.. Wright, who was an ex-
pert swimmer, ventured out fully one
hundred and fifty yards beyond rest
OF the bathers. He was Seemigly en-
joying bis swim, when suddenly there
rang out his cry for help.
/. Editor Appelt, OF the Manning
Times, was nearest to Mr.. Wright
and Immediately took up the cry, at
the same time swimming to MIR.
Wright. The life boat was launched
and in FIVE or six minutes reached the
struggling man. He was drawn into
the boat and carried to the beach.
In ten minutes DR.. Lyle, OF Augusta,
and DR.. Pitcher, OF Warrenton, took
Mr.. Wright in hand but could do
nothing for him. The pulse had gone
and life had passed out in few min
utes.
Nh. Wright's head never disap-
peared under the water for more than
FIVE or ten seconds at time and no
water at all was worked out Of the
lungs. The doctors pronounced the
cause Of death as apaplex, In bath
ing with Mr.. Wright were his wife,
and his son.
Mr.. W. E. Parker Of Schweigert's
was standing on the beach and saw
his co-worker drown. Fully three
hundred Augustans witnessed the
tragedy. The deceased was about
sixty years of age. The body goes to
Augusta on the night train. Both
the father and the son worked for Mr..
Schweigert.

nearly all parts of the country. 1t Is
hard tn believe, however, that the In
crease has been as great in the num-
Der OF passengers carried as in that
OF passengers killed. Measured by
the first quarter OF 1903 and 1902, the
deaths Of passengers from accidents
increased by II per cent, while the in
crease in the number Of passengers
carried could not possibly have been
anything like that figure. Running
over some Of the causes Of accidents,
particularly those classes as "trai,:," it
IS plain that many Of these could
have been, in fact should have been,
prevented. Consider, for instance,
the 2ll persons killed in collisions. OF
these, Ill we're killed by rear end
collisions, fifty-six by butting, thirty
four by trains separating and ten
from miscellaneous causes. Apparent
ly some OF these could have been pre-
vented. In one accident seven per-
sons were killed because brakeman
had neglected to flag passenger train
that was following. In another twelve
persons were. killed because proper
warning had not been given to the
following train. In the worst acci-
dent of all during the quarter, when
twenty three were killed, the engineer
entirely disregarded the danger sig
nails. Automatic brakes. operated in
connection with the block system,
would reduce to minimum the dan
ger Of rear end collisions, and would
also do away with the danger OF trains
meeting head to head on a single
track.
Plainly, there is urgent need Of
greater protection to the lives OF those
who use the railroad.

DENIAL OF EQUAL RIGHTS.

$40 those who regard the Jeffer-
sonian philosophy of equal rights to
all, special privileges to none,' not as
glittering generality nor as a mere
party shibboleth, but as vital, living
principle, applicable at all times to
the affairs Of men, the giving or re-
ceiving Of passes is peculiarly objec-
tionable, as they realize the practice
operates as bulwark to the undemo-
cratic system of farming out Govern
ment functions to private individuals.
The fact that a railroad, telegraph or
telephone system cannot exist without
the grant of special pririleges-the
granting OF which is denial OF the
equal rights OF otherS--proves that
the function is governmental and
should be carried on by the people for

ANOTHER REASON.
There is another reason why pub

The cost Of these fayors is borne by
those who pay for their tickets. How

be is suggested in the letter from the
