Turning jackson Upside-Down

Mayor H. G. Anderson, of jack
son, is turning the old town upside
down Ia his efforts to clean the
streets and scour the back yards. The
mayor had asked the council for
$1,000 with which to advertise Jack
son. 1t was refused on the grounds
of poverty. He says the next best
thing is cleanliness, and he will have
that, if he has personally to stick his
head over every back yard fence in
the city.

VALUE or HUMAN LIVES.
Some Pertinent Suggestions Anent the
Duty of American Railroads.

Some Pertinent Suggestions Anent the
Duty of American Railroads.
The startling information is cor
veyed in the report of the interstate
commerce commission, relating 10
railroad accidents, that during 1903
there were $50 fatalities in America
from this cause. 1t is shown that
deaths from railroad accidents in this
country average one person TO every
100000 that travel. while in Great
Britain the rate Is one death to every
$4,000, 900 passengers. The railroads
of Great Britain and Ireland in 1908
carried 1,194,S33, 900 passengers. and
of these but 123 were killed aud 1912
Injured. During the same year Ameri-
can railroads carried only 694, S91, 535
passengers, and out of these there
were $50 killed and 1921 injured.
These figures also include employees.
The commission reports that since
the adoption of the airbrake the fatal
lies from accidents haTesbeen reduced
go per- cent. There are thousands of
freight trains running every day
throughout the country without this
seemingly necessary appliance. Laws
enforcing the use OF airbral1es exist
IL. many States, and the racon.men-
dation is made that 1t. become ma
'tional law
From the appalling record as shown
by the interstate commerce commits
sion, it 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 invalu'
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 a remedy, and that remedy MIST
be reached through the laws of our
land. Modern appliances would pre-
vent many accidents These appli-
aEces 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

the number OF accidents, but IL sCrue
instances these efforts have .cen met
with strong opposition.-Denyer News

Denver Packing Houses.

Denver. July 25.-The News this
morning says: The packing houses of
Denver stand to-day exactly where
they did one week ago this morning.
The settlement and renewal of the
strike followed so closely that but lit
tie change could be made in the stock
and meat situation in Denver and Col
orado. and to-day the western packers
are prepared to supply the whole west
ern country. The situation involves
these elements:
No raise in prices. A rise at this
time would be robbery, say the pack
ers. Complete preparations to meet
the western demand and make inroads
on the Missouri river market.
Union stockyards will receive 1000
cattle this week. Plenty of stock in
call for the whole western country.
Every Denver packer is again ready
for the critical situation which the
strike in the trust plants has precipi-
tated. The Western and Colorado pack
ing house managers last night stated
that put few men had been discharged
and tnat full force would be work
ing to-day, preparing to meet all local
demands. Managers of both plants in
sisted that there was not the slightest
reason for rise in prices and that
they would sell meat at the same Old
figure.

An Important Water Case.

Denver, July PA Fort Collins dis
patch says: An important water case
will come before the District Court at
the September session. A number of
farmers owning water in the Douglas
reservoir have brought condemnation
proceedings against the Water Supply
& Storage Company to compel the
company to carry this water through
its canal and distribute the same in
the laterals belonging to said farmers.
Judge Garrigues has issued a tenn
porary order, requiring the canal COM
pany to carry and distribute the water
to the proper laterals to be paid for at
the rate of $40 per 100000 cubic feet
At the September term of court this
question will be decided permanently
and it will be of great importance to
farmers over the state, as it will de-
termine whether owners of reservoirs
can condemn a right of way for their
water through established canals at a
rate fixed by the court.
A number of farmers have given lib
orally toward the fund to pay the ex-
pense of these proceedings SO that a
final settlement may be reached.

Because Packers Have Not Kept
Their Agreement.

Chicago. July 23.-The stockvards

points where the big packing compa-
nies have branches, because 'he strik-
ers were dissatisfied with the manner
in which the employers proposed TO re-
instate their former employees pending
a settlement for arbitration, VIII con-
tinue for a number or days, at least.

atiyes of both sides of the contro-

lied trades in an attempt TO bring
about a peaceable adjustment of this
second strike was unsuccessful and
the meeting was adjourned last night
al $50 with the understanding that
another conference would be held to-
day.
While the immediate provocation for
the renewal of the strike was appar-
enlIy the failure of the packers to take
back a large proportion of the strik-
ers who returned for work yesterday,
Ine real cause of the rupture was IN
ferred to be a circular issued yester-
day by the packers. The circular pur-
ported to explain to the public the
agreement entered into with the labor
leaders. seemingly tne clTCuidi couiu
be taken as implying that the agree
ment did not bind the packers to re-
employ all of the men who walked out
The construction the labor leaders had
placed upon the agreement was that
all should be re-employed within forty
five days.
When the 5000 butchers and their
helpers went into the yards here yes
terday to take their old places the gen.
eral greeting received was:
I'VE cannot take back more than
half the regular force"
Immediately there was a woeful dis
play of chagrin and disappointment.
The men held conference of an i'm
promptu nature and reached an agree
ment to act as a unit or not at all.
"You must take us all back. or
none" came. the reply of the union
men. The packers refused to accede
to this. and a committee was sent to
see President Donnelly. The latter
was quickly in communication with
his advisers. Within an hour and a
half the decision was reached to re-
open the strike. President Donnelly's
telegram was accordingly sent to all

1T is a principle of common law
that the individual may not so use

infringe upon the rights ond privileges
of others. Or. if SO using. he must
without fail indemnify the intuyed by
making good the loss. 1t is fact un-
controverted by all save the parties in

Who is responsible? The voters
are the real culprits. They are the
principals in business in which the
liquor dealers are but the agents. The
informed voters. and especially the
Christian voter who admits in his
church resolutions that no Christian

times were marked by their brevity. 1t
is the plan now at Rosemont to have
the notification follow closely the form
of the earlier ceremonies. 1t is not ex-

length. or that he will discuss inti-
mately any of the campaign issues. but
will leave this TO the letter of accept
ance. which will be issued week or so
