RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
tn People Who DO Much
TRAVELLING.

There are two main reasons Tor rail-,
way wrecks in the, United States; the
large number of lines which have only
single tracks, and the great respon-
sibility that is thrown upon cae man.
In England more than five times as
great a part of the railroad lines are
0ouble-tracked as in the United
States In our vast, half-settled states
the companies have not enough bust
ness to justify the building Of double
tracks, says Youths Companion.
The error of ene-man responsibility
must also be laid to the desire FOR econ
ony. It is not the American way to
have two men to one task; rather is
there a tendency to put two tasks up
on one man. Yet human experience,
and more specifically the experience
of railroad men, shows that there are
moments in the day of every man
wheH his mind lapses for an instant.
to note a signal while his helper, the
fireman, is back shoyeling coal. One
American newspaper suggests that
there should be two engineers. The
railroads recognize in way that even
q good man is not infallible by limit
Ing the working time Of an engineer
to a few hours day, sometimes as few
as four hours. But even that allow
ance for the effect of constant ten
sion does not. provide for the ever
lasting chance of human failure so
well as would second engineer, who
should be in the cab all the time.
In the inquiry into the terrible wreck
at Westfield, N. j., this year, it was
shown that green signal, which
means ego Slow" had been set. Just
for the fatal second when the engine
flew by this signal the engineer was
trying to adjust a. defective injector
valve. A second engineer would have
prevented the disaster.
The problem of preventing wrecks
is one for the railroads and for the law
to solve. There are, however, some
useful suggestion which the individual
may paste inside his travelling hat to
protect himself in case of disaster.
A study of wrecks shows that the
lghtest car is the most dangerous.
Suppose a train is made up of one
heavy baggage car, one smoker and
one Pullman sleeper. Whether the
collision. be head-on or at the rear,
the light smoking car between the two
heavy ones. is sure to suffer. The
principle holds, no matter in what or
der the cars are arranged. Set a paste
board box and two wooden ones in
row scudding across the floor. Unless
the pasteboard box is on the outer end,
and in some degree even then, it will
be the sufferer when the train strikes
/ the wall. The wooden boxes may not
show a dent.
| If baggage car is heavily laden, OF
If it is built with a steel floor, it will
De safer than Light passenger coach,
which in a collision will act as buffer
to it, and will squeeze together like
chicken coop of lathes. Old railroad
men say: ''Stick to the heavy cars"
1t is easy to see why.

BASE NEGLECT OF DUTY.
One Of the Things That Are Eek.
pected Of Men Who Aspire to
Political Leadership.

To become political leader" and to re.
ain the post successfully, requires eternal
sigilance:. One politician, quoted by the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, says that in the
.enement districts the leader becomes q
sort of unofficial mayor, guardian and ia,
Their of his people. He can never ignore I
request. To do so Is to offend not only
the individual who makes it, but all nii
relations.
One woman asked district leader to take
her baby into his family while the mother
vent out of town for a weeks visit. Again
he was called up at two o'clock in the morn
ing by a couple of men who had got into a
dispute, and wanted him to arbitrate. He
was expected to see that the poor had coal
to bail out those who were arrested; to Sc
cure work for those who were out of employ
ment; to have police fines RENTED; to at
tend marriages, picnics and funerals.
One family of voters renowned him perma
nently because he did not call when seven
year-old Thomas broke leg.
But ! didn't know he had broken his
Iegi" the leader demonstrated.
Sure, and you should have known it"
But I didn't even know you had son
named Thomas"
That settles it." and the father took
up his hat. Tim Sullivan would have
known it. Niver a meal have you ate in me

when the bu1kinch, as sometimes hap

OF Rawlins county, because it Is at
that time that the sheriff is expected
to take charge of the cattle out there

Of the state live stock sanitary COM

ers of cattle in the guaranteed dis

1, and that after that time the sheriff
Of the county shall attend to the work

In Lane county the commissioners
have abolished the bounty hitherto

the hunters preserved the females to

brought from other counties.
