British railway companies obtain their
earnings chiefly from their passenger
tranic The accident statistics relating TO
them are distorted in their interests. BY
some mysterious method they control the
system under which they are tabulated
The board of trade statlsticians who com
pile the figures are not responsible for H.
They view with disgust the botch that Is
made OF their labors by the higher officials.
One of the compilers, with whom I dis
cussed the burlesque official report. told
me that he had visited the United States
few years ago and inspected the rail-
ways there to obtain points for parlia-
mentary railway legislation.
II found" he said, that American roads
are far superior TO ours so far as appli-
ances for the protection OF life are con-
cerned. The report which I was instru-
mental IN drawing up bore fruit in an act
for the prevention OF accidents on English
railways. But as passed II was a very
imperfect measure. II made no provision
for automatic car couplers, such as are
used on American railways, The hand
coupling process employed here is respon-
sible for fully % per cent OF the fatalities
among railway employees. Railway COM
panies bitterly oppose all attempts 10 COM
pei them to adopt appliances and methods
that will render the roads safer. Their in
fiuence in Parliament, where many OF the
members are railway directors. Is great.
And as long as our figures are distorted
TO make II appear that English railways
are miracles of safety there is small chance
OF a-Ousing public opinion on the subject"
Omaha daily bee., 1905-08-22

The same method is adopted in dealing
with railway employees who are killed or
injured. Only seven of them figure as
being killed by train accidents" To
other causes variously classified are at
tributed the deaths of 400. The grand
totar' OF the official report. which is sup
posed 10 include all casualties on railroads,
shows 1859 killed and 6.2Ss injured. BY
some statistical hocus pocus ninety-nine
deaths that appeared in the preliminary
report have been dropped out. and the
number of those injured has been dimin-
ished by over 1900.

We see from The News that authOri
ties of Charlotte have decided to try
crude petroleum for laying the dust OIL
the streets of that city. A tank car Of
Gil has been ordered and the oil will be
used OIL the principal streets. The
News says if the oil answers the pur-
pose the relief will be temporary at
least; that the dust has become un-
bearable. 1t seems that the material
used for paving the main streets of
that city vas not Of the proper kind for
streets on which there is heavy hauling
and the consequence is the surface is
being ground to >powder. We will
watch with much interest the expert
ment to lay this dust with Oil. 1t has
been successfully done in a number of
cities in the United States. With crude
eli going to waste in the Kansas oil
fields for want of refneries to handle
it this manner of laying the dust in
cities should not be expensive.

Is ROOSEVELT A DEMOCRAT?

The Chattanooga News seems to
may have won a decisive victory in the
presidential election last fall. 1t looks
upon Mr.. Roosevelt as a fair exponent
of democratic principles, at least of two
of the leading declarations of that par
tvs national platform-revision of the
tariff and governmental supervision
and control of railway rates. That pa
per also seems to think that the Iro-
quois cIubmen of Chicago were of the
same way of thinking; else why were
the members Of this democratic club
the chief entertainers of the president
while in their city? The Iroquois is
o democratic political club and as such
it banqueted the president. Speaking
of this banquet, The News says edito-

den Roosevelt by the Iroduois Club

President Roosevelt was invited to

more than that. President Roosevelt

Ing railroad legislation. He criticised
the statement by railroad men that

convey that the object sought was to
glver power to the commission to fix
oil rates, He claimed that there was
nothing unjust in giving the commits
sion the power which the proposed leg
tslation would confer upon it to cor
rect an unreasonable and discrimina-
tory rate between kinds of traffic and
localities. He advocated the establish
ment by congress of tribunal to give
business competitors square deaf in
securing transportation to markets and
cited Dubuque AID Fort Dodge as
among cities Disseminated against.
He said that badly adjusted railway
rates had removed Iowa's chances of

stopped paying rebates on grain ship

giving rebates. A government COM

competition or a desire to secure ton

frame an equitable schedule.
