Another Railroad Horror.

The fearful tradgedy on the
Southern Railroad which occurred
Saturday last at Hodges, Tennes-
see, in which sixty four people
were hurled into eternity and
scores of others frightfully maim-
ed and injured add another to the
already long list of railroad hor-
rors for 1904. Only a few weeks
ago the kilograms announced the
fearful Litchield wreck fast up
on the heels Of this were others
with frightful loss of life, and
now comes the terrible wreck on
the Southern. With this frequent
ly recurring loss Of life it would
seem that the railroads themselves
would awake to the necessity OF
taking greater precaution in hand
ling their trains. These frequent
wrecks, the public is forced to be-
lieve, is but the result of an I'M
pal donable carelessness on the
part of the roads in selecting their
employees. The position of tele-
graph operator is a most response
BILE one, yet the young man or
boy in his teens with but little
experience can get a job with the
roads. The position Of night
operator on all roads, it seems is
held by this class of operators.
AT such a time the best men with
the most experience should be in
charge. But we do not find this
to be the case. Whv the roads
are derellct in a more rigid de-
mand for competency it is hard
to discern. A good reason as
signed why the policy of employ
ing cheap men is given in an edi-
torial from the Commercial APP
peal in which the responsibility
for the Southern wreck is dis
cussed.
Many American railroads are
owned in large part by foreign
stockholders who care nothing
for the lives ana limbs of Ameri-
cans so long as they receive their
pound of flesh in the way of divi-
dends. The greatest bloodsucker
is favored as the general manager
and he selects subordinates of his
own kidney. These cut down
wages and impose over work on
employees until the property falls
into the hands of incompetents,
until damage suits multiply and
admonis that too much economy
is not profitable.
The blame for the wreck should
be located if possible. To say
that the engineer disobeyed orders
will not do. Engines do not
disobey orders when their own
lives and the lives Of others are
thereby imperiled unless in very
rare instances. There L dozens
of ways in which too much econo-
my imperlls life and against these
the public should be protected.
