VALUE OF HUMAN LIVES.
o''ne Pertinent Suggestions Anent the
Duty Of American Railroads.


The startling information ia con.
Veyed In the report of the interstate
commerce commission, relating TO
railroad accidents that during 1903
'nere were 9,S4O fatalities in America
from THIS cause. 1t Is shown that
ueaths from railroad accidents in this
country average one person 10 every
1'ooo,O0O that travel, while in Great
britain the rate Is one death to every
4e'oO0,OOO passengers The railroads
OF Great Britain and Ireland in 1868
carried 1,194,S3S,0OO passengers, and
OF these but 1913 were killed and 1912
Injured. During the same year Ameri,
can railroads carried only 6o4,S91,535
passengers, and out of these there
were 355 killed and 1921 injured.
lhese figures also include employees.
The commission reports that since
the adoption of the airbrake the fatal
lilies from accidents have been reduced
81 per cent. There are thousands Of
freight trains running every day
throughout the country without this
seemingly necessary appliance. Laws
enforcing the use of airbralkes exist
IL many States, and the recon.men.
dalton is made that 1t become 4 ma.
tional law
From the appalling record as shown
by the Interstate conn, cree commiS.
sion, 1t would appear that some great
railroad corporations hold the value OF
human lives too lightly. Hundreds Of
Innocent children, affectionate wives
ard mothers, intelligent and nvalu.
allie men are hurled into eternity in
ar instant; any why? 1t is because Of
negligence on the part of the railroad
companies? If so, then there must
be remedy, and that remedy must
be reached through the laws Of our
land. Modern appliances would pre-
vent many accidents These appli-
ances are in the shape of airbrakes,
electric safety switches, block sys-
tens, crossing signals and many other
contrivances that go toward reducing
danger
For years efforts have been made
l.. various States 10 have enforced
laws that would compel the companies
tC adopt systems tending TO reduce
the number of accidents, but il sorNe
instances these efforts have ncen met
with strong pposition.-Denver News

A schnol In the Forest.

A new kind of school is about to be

who though not exactly ill, are SO
weakly that they are very liable to
be attacked by disease more especia''

The Care That Prevented Horror.

A train was running away down a
steep grade on Saluda Mountain in
North Carolina. The speed increased
with every foot travelled. The air.
brakes would not work. Tranmen
were helpless, passengers in a state
of hopeless fear.
Just at the moment when the worst
was expected the train ran up shot
incline and stopped. The next morn
ing in the New York papers, in place
Of the lists of the dead and injured
that might have been, there was the
story of how a safety-switch had
worked and had saved many lives.
This was story of preparation.
The railroad company in North Caro-
lima knew of certain dread possibilities
on its route. 1t provided against them
and has reaped in the happy conclu'
sion of terribly threatening incident
the reward for its forethought.
When the Slocum took fire in the
East river the first fact revealed about
the boat was lack of preparation
against the horror then impending.
Yet the possibility of what was hap
pening had been demonstrated many
times-with what should have been
everlasting force in the case of the
Seawanhaka
What is the difference in the edu'
cation of passenger-carrying corpora
ton which brings it about that IN
North Carolina they take care while
in New York they take chances?-
