RAILWAY OPERATION
Overworked Train Crews not Per-
mitted On The North-W Western
Line.

They don't permit trainmen to re-
main on continuous duty beyond a
certain time limit on the Chicago Il
North Western Raj way, and the
management Is receiving much COM
mediation from the press on the sub
ject of recent order intended to
crystallize this policy, for quite
great deal has been said recently up
on the subject of safety precautions
for railway travel and an overworked
train crew is menace to such safety.
On the North Western Line, under
this new rule, the men are not only
not required to work beyond reason
able limit, but the man who wants to
thus increase his days earnings Is re-
strained from doing so, and ten hours
of duty is made the standard beyond
which the men must not go without a
reasonable amount of rest.
The instructions issued to insure
this require that with each ten hours
of work the men must have eight
hours rest and If In case of stress,
twelve hours is required, the resting
period must be ten hours, and for
fourteen hours on duty, twelve hours
relaxation must be taken.
No engineman or tralnman is al
lowed TO go out on the road without
meeting this requirement, and an
elaborate checking system is employ
ed to insure the observance of the
rule.
The Pittsburg Dispatch, comment
ing editorially upon this, says:
THAT the element of human falli-
billty is responsible for large pro-
portion of railway accidents is known
to every newspaper reader. That this
element is increased If the men are
overworked is also patent.
The experiment of The North.
Western Line will be watched with
interest, and If the results are notice
ably good, no further argument should
be needAd to secure its general
adoption"
An old railroad man, speaking of
the order and its effects, said You
see, it's hard sometimes to keep a
Young husky fellow from trying to
earn more overtime than he should,
and equally hard at times for train
master TO resist making record in
moving trains but this order of The
North Westerns shuts them out o,
any chance TO overstep the limit and
that's how the public is assured the
| best of care.n

Incentive of Sheriff.

With the taking of VIM. Jones,
alias johnson and Kratzer, to the
penitentiary on Tuesday Highland
county and the State have finished
with the case except the payment of
the costs. The crime was an ancient
one, having been committed, If COM
mitted at all, before half the present
citizens of Highland county were
born. On July 2s, 1876, colored
woman was supposed to have been
murdered BY her husband near this
city. Little attention was paid to
the crime at the time. Over 2S years
afterwards an official, avaricious for
fees, holds the Office of sheriff of this
county. He digs into the ancient
crime lin the interest of justice)
causes the arrest of an aged colored
man on the verge of the grave, hunts
up witnesses and conviction results.
The taxpayers foot the bill, while the
largest beneficiary, is the prosecuting
witness. The costs in the case tell
the story better than words and are

The Washington Post sounds this
note of warning as regards divorce leg
islation: "The would.be ref0rmers who
propose to regulate humanity into a
condition of millennial blies by an In.
fnitude of laws can easily do more
harm than good. They must realize
that In divorce, as In other things,
there is happy medium between too
much laxity and too much rigor. They
must make some allowance, too, for
human nature, appreciating the fact
that people who make mistakes In
marriages will quite naturally at
tempt to rectify the error by any
means within their power. If they
are not allowed legal separation, they
viii be tempted to violate the moral
and the statute law, and the obstacles
to divorce, instead Of beiug beneficial,
may thus Affect most iniuriously the
very stability Of society."

On Tuesday morning Sheriff Feike
took pleasure trip to Columbus. He
was accompanied by the aged colored
man who was convicted of manslaugh-
ter in December for a murder sup.
posed to have been committed nearly
twenty-nine years ago. The colored
man was under sentence of two and
one half years in the penitentiary and
was turned over to the officials of that
institution. The pleasure of the
Sheriff was not wholly due to the fact
that he was taking an old man who
had passed the allotted three score and
ten years and was on the verge of the
grave to prison, but was doubtless due
to the excellent financial returns, or
fees of $6494S, which he will receive
from the Taxpayers for his work in
the case.

The Pay of School Teachers.

Worlds Work furnishes some strik-
ing figures on the pay of public school
teachers.
They are more than striking. They
touch on the injustice of system
that gets all it can and pays as little
as possible for it.
1t Is not denied that teaching is
hard work-hard and wearing. The
teacher, man or woman, who has
served a long period in the schools lie
not worth much, for any other voca.
tion, at the end of that service. And
the job, or profession, calls for not
only years of preparation, but tact,
patience, the highest order of intelli
gence, and that something that has
not been named, but is the ability to
get along in the face of countless
worries and obstacles.
Now how about the pay T?
A coachman-an average, compe.
tent cOachman, who can drive and
who knows something about horses
is better paid than the average school
teacher, for in the whole United States
the average pay of women teachers
is under $40 a month.
1t is pointed out that in a certain
locality of North Carolina man who
trains puppies for quail-hunting draws
bettef salary than any school teach.
er in the community.
In the State of Indiana IL, 900 teach
ers receive less than $500 per year
each, and there are other States la
which the showing would be worse.
Are the people of the United States
in earnest about their desire for
thorough education?
And If they are, can not they realize
that while some-perhaps many thou.
sands of good teachers-will work for
a pittance because they must. the
highest talent will get out of the busi-
ness when opportunity offers, and that
there is and will continue to be a
scarcity of the best teachers because
of the scant salaries paid and offered?
Modern education will not progress
as 1t should, or produce the results
desired, until there is more justice
displayed in dealings with those who
do the work and bear the burdens
