MORE TERRIBLE THAN BATTLE


MORE TERRIBLE THAN BATTLE.
The first news that the telegraph
brought The Record yesterday since
we have been shut off from The
world was the disastrous wreck or
the Missouri Pacific near Warrens-
burg, Missouri, on a piece of track
known as Dead Mans Bend" and
well may it be called this after its
baptism yesterday in human bloo1,
and it's either side strewn with bu-
man limbs and mangled human
forms. The agony there suffered by
innocent men. women and children
will mark the place for years TO
come like that at Chatsworth or Ash
tabula. 1t is hard enough TO read OF
men torn by shot and shell in the
heat and eagerness of battle, but 10
read Of the horrible death inflicted
without a moments warning on wo-
men and children who in the joyous
realization of a trip to the Worlds
Fair city were thinking only of the
pleasures before them, pleasures per-
haps purchased by months of sacri-
fee and toil,-all this is mex TO wit
Messing the bloody spectacle itself.
And what makes this scene more
it is not a necessary calamity. When
floods come or the earth quakes and
lives are lost by thousands, we can
truly say that these are acts of God,
and do not question the wisdom of
Providence, but such a fatality as
that of yesterday is but due to some
body's stupid and criminal blunder.
Is it our railroad system that is at
fault hat year by year these acct
dents seem to increase in frequency
and horror, and can there be no "em-
edy to protect in a greater measure
human life. The Commoner in a re.
cent issue contrasts the loss of life
in the great battles of the world
with the annual loss of life on the
American railroads as follows:
people who read the casualty list
of the battle Of Lao Yang were
shocked by the great number of kill
ed and wounded. The whole world
has shuddered with horror at that
and other great battles of modern
times-Gettysburg, Antietam, Freder-
icksburg, Shiloh and others. But
how many have given thought to the
tremendous sacrifice of life annually
made upon the railroads of this re-
public? During the year ending on
June 80, 1904, 9,840 people were kill
ed in railroad accidents in the United
States, and 1858 injured. One rail-
road employee in every 1854 was killed,
and one in every % injured. The re
cent battle of Lao Yang vas not pro-
ductive of more dead and injured
than our American railroads during
the twelve months ending on the day
above mentioned. Clearly there is
every reason why the attention Of The
people should be centered upon this
horrible death list, and more ener-
getic efforts made to reduce the cas-
ualties."

CHRIST SCIENCE DEBATE ON

from basis OF physical sense, and the
answer would al once be. yes. men are
sinners; they are. sick, and they die.
