BRILLIANT REASONING.

Is not there a note of warning
of what government ownership OF
railroads would mean to us in this
strike of Russian employees
Change the government or walk. is
the ukase of the railroad operators
If such a thing can happen in
monarchical Russia where the rail-
roads are comparatively small
part of the commercial structure,
what complications could not a
similar demand bring in a land
where so much depends upon them
as in the United States1-Denver
Republican.
When papers that aspire to be
known as the mouth piece of a
great party give utterance to such
rot as the above, what can you ex-
pect of the little fellows who strive
to follow in their footsteps?
If the Republican sage will but
reason with himself he will come
to the conclusion that he never
wrote worse joke on intelligence
than the above.
What analogy is there between
America and Russia, except that
for brief year here in Colorado
the Supreme court has assumed
the prerogatives of Czarf
Men obtain knowledge by ex-
perience. That is some men do.
Appearances are against the posi-
bility of the Republican editoria |
writer obtaining any benefit from
that source. What does expert,
ence in governmental ownership of
postal facilities teach? Have you
heard of any strikes? Have the
mails ever been tied up by the de
mands of the employees of the
postoffice department. That is an
example that counts. 1t is here
at home under precisely the con-
ditions that would obtain if the
government were to acquire the
railroads.
What leads to a strike among
railroad employees in Russia? The
Republican states the fact very
clearly. A desire on the part of
society as a substantial whole to
change the government. 1T future
intelligence should point a vast
majority of our people to seek a
change in the fundamental princi
plies of this government, then we
may safely assume that revolution
would follow. Some of US believe
that this is good government, a
safe one in which to rePose the
ownership and operation of great
public utilities. The Republican
evidently doubts the ability of the
government to accomplish better
results than can be obtained
through corpora tions. Their
doubt is legitimate in itself, but
should not be supported by COM
pairing America with Russia. They
are as widely separated in matters
governmental as they are geo.
graphically. The Republican even
should know that.

Lessening Accidents on Railroads.


The attention now being devoted in the press
to the problem of lessening the number Of acct
dents on American railroads is no doubt due, in
very considerable measure at least, to our per-
sistence in calling attention, through the col
umns of the Army and Macy Journal, to the fact
that the loss of American lives and limbs in bat
tie is trifing in comparison with the record of
more than 10000 persons annually killed and
wounded in accidents on American railroads.
In an article ON this subject in The Worlds
Works for March Mr.. James Davenport Whelp-
ley says: American trains travel nine hundred
million miles and English trains four hundred
million miles during single year. With train
mileage less than half that of the American
roads, the English roads in 1908 hauled twice as
many passengers, conducted their business on
one-tenth the trackage, and in doing so killed
but one-tenth as many people and injured less
than one-tenth as many. If the fatalities oc-
curing in England be classified, and those due
solely to train movement be compared with the
fatalities incurred on American roads from
similar causes, the results will show tremen-
dously to the advantage of English operations"
Yet the philanthropists who organize conven-
lions and hold mass-meetings to express their
horror of war have thus far shown themselves
wholly Indifferent to the loss of lives on rail-
roads, for which there is no compromising adj
vantage. It is well that they should have done
this, but not have left the other undone.

ArA meeting of the Reform League of Mary
land, on Wednesday night, strong ground was
taken against the Poe constitutional amend
ment that will besubmitted to the voters of this
State at next falls election. The concluding
paragraph of the executive committees report,
which was adopted, reads as follows: THE
Poe amendment is subversive of republican
and democratic principles in our government;
is unjust and insulting to white citizens of for
eign birth or parentage no less than to colored
men furnishes no safeguard against the
evils of an ignorant suffrage; intrusts arbitrary,
excessive and dangerous powers to officers OF
registration, powers which can be and, accord
ing to all human probability, will be grossly
abused by such officers for partisan purposes,
as similar, though less extensive, powers have
been abused in the past threatens the most
precious rights of our citizens, and endangers
selfeoyernment in Maryland" at the same
meeting the League elected the following OFF,

Miss Nancy Carnegie. daughter Of the late
Thomas M. Carnegie. of Pittsburg, was secret

riding master named James Hever. Mr.. An
drew Carnegie, brother of the brides father, in
an interview relative to the affair on Wednes-

Hever in New York about year ago. Hever
was riding teacher in the family. The fami-
ly has no objection to the match. Mr.. Hever
is an honest, upright young man. would
rather Nancy had married poor, honest man
than worthless duke. We want no rich men
in the family" Hever, who is IS years of age,
is a widower with two small children. The

AMONG THE interesting facts about the new
Pennsylvania Railroad tunnel and terminal in
New York are these: Total cost $50, 0O0, 600,
in addition to the S1OOOO,OOO for the station
site, on which were about 300 dwellings; pas
senger accommodation daily, 100000 men, at
work. about 10000; time required for trip
under the Hudson, two minutes. In project
ing this enterprise the engineers believe they
have solved all the problems which baffled
the most daring engineers of twenty-three
years ago. There seems to be no limit to
engineering skill in our day, and what makes
it effectual is the mass of surplus capital to
back it up.
