Young beginners, in lite's morning,
Don't forget the rainy day
Sunshine cannot last forever
Or the heart be always gay.
Save the dime and then the dollar,
Lay up something as you roam;
Choose some blooming spot of beauty;
Some fair lot and plant home.
You too, who have babes around you,
Coming up to take your place,
Give them something to remember
Homestead memories let them trace.
Would you feel the pride of manhood,
Let the sun your ceiling greet;
Breathe the blessed air of freedom
Own the soil beneath your feet.
You too, who perhaps have squandered
Life fair morn, It's not too late
Start at once to WOO bright fortune,
Rail no more at so-caled fate.
Sow the golden seed Of Saving
In the rich and quckening loan;
Spend your last days in Texas,
Enter heavens gate from home.

RAILWAY WRECK s
REPRESENTATIVE CAMPBELL'S
PLEA FOR AN INVESTIGATION.

Representative Campbell of Kansas went
before the House committee on interstate
and foreign commerce this morning and
made statement In support OF the reso-
luton he has introduced directing the
Department Of Commerce and Labor to In
vestigate railroad wrecks. He urged the
committee to report the resolution to the
House at once so 1t can be adopted at this
session OF Congress.
The number of passengers and employees
killed within the past -four years in railway
accidents said Mr. Compbell. Is 10. 146.
and the total number of passengers and
employees injured reached the appalling
total of 257, ,563. OF others than passengers
and employees % $50 were killed and 81, OBJ
injured.
In spite of all precautionary measures
adopted by railroad companies the loss of
life has increased from year to year by
reason of fatal accidents, and the number
of persons injured has increased In like
proportion.
THE proposed inquiry is If possible to
find the cause of these fatal accidents. Not
whether the accident was a head-on col
lision or the derailment of a train or the
spreading of the rails, but why was the
head-on collision, why the derallment OF
the train, what was the cause or the
spreading of the rails 1t would be Inn
possible to outline series of questions to
be followed in this inquiry, but 1t does seem
that the inquiry should be made so as to
be beneficial to the whole country.
1.-The interstate commerce commission,
regarding the question of a government in
quiry, In its last annual report, said: 1T
is OF the highest Importance to do every
thing possible to throw additional light on
the problems involved. and to this end 1t is
suggested that the government should in
vestigate train accidents and promptly pub
lish the facts concerning them.

Representative Williams of Mississippi, the

tion to the transaction OF business without
proper presentation of bills, on their pass
age. to the House When the lower branch
of Congress today decided to take up bills
on the private calendar (pension bills) Mr..
Williams insisted that Mr.. Sulloway IN.
H), the chairman of the invalid pensions
committee, should rise and properly move
the passage of each bill. As there are 320
private bills TO be voted on. 125 OF which
are Senate bills, this will require Mr. Sui
loway to rise 800 times. Mr.. Williams said
as the gentleman from New Hampshire is
six feet seven inches tall, he believed that
this exercise on the part of the ''Tadl Pine
of the Merrimac' would add something to
his stature.
