INDUSTRIAL INJURIES.
Railroad Accidents Head the List OF
Casualties.

Railroad Accidents Head the List OF
Casualties.
We have before us the casualty lists
of that greatest of all fields OF carnage
the railroads Of the United States.
Lest the gentle reader should object 10
our phraseology, calling 1t sensational
we ask his attention to the interstate
commerce commission statistics OF
deaths and injuries for the last three
months of 1906, which opens with the
following statement: 1.-THE number OF
persons killed in train accidents our
ing the months of October November
and December, 1906, as shown In re-
ports made by the railroad companies
to the interstate commerce commits
sion, under the accident law OF
March 3, 1901, was 474, and Of injured
494O. Accidents Of other kinds, in
Guiding those sustained by employees
while at work and by passengers IN
getting on or off the cars, etc., prlng
the total number Of casualties up 10
2G,944 Q,430 killed and 1854 injured)
At the above rate, the total NUMBER
of people killed on the railroads IN
twelve months would be 5,72O, and the
total number injured 7S,O56, or a total
of S3776 casualties in single year.
If we remember rightly, this Is more
than twice as many as were killed on
the British side during all the years OF
the Boer war; while the total number
of injured exceeds the total NUMBER
that were wounded by bullet and shell.
But such wars as the South African
trouble come intermittently and with
decreasing frequency, whereas the cas-
ualties of peace are with US always
and increase with the passing OF the
years
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1907-06-14

The deaths and injuries on our rail-
roads, appalling in number though
they be, represent after all but frac-
ton Of the total number Of casualties
occurring every year in the prosecution
Of the so-called arts Of peace. The
mine, the quarry, the smelling furnace,
the mill, the machine shop, all present
an annual death and casualty roll
which, according to the most eminent
authority on the subject in this coun-
try, DIR. Josiah Strong, is placed at the
stupendous figure Of $4,000. The rail-
way accidents and their appalling re-
suits are more in the public eye than
other disasters, for the reason that
practically every citizen travels on the
railroads, and that the government COL
lects and publishes the statistics OF
deaths and injuries. But the grim
facts regarding the frequency Of deaths
and injuries in pursuits other than
those identified with railroading are
Just as real, just as shocking, and ev-
cry whit as disgraceful to our nation
al good name as those relating to the
railroads.
Now, on the basis Of over half a
million industrial accidents in the
United States in a single year, 1t may
be stated that one person out Of every
$50 Is sacrificed in a greater or less
degree, ranging from a slight injury to
death itself, in the task Of carrying on
our great industrial works. And the
pity and; shame Of 1t all is that large
proportion Of this pain and death Is
easily preventable. Two things are
necessary: First, the public must be
awakened to the realization of the
disgrace which such a condition Of
things puts upon the nation, and to a
realization of the vast amount Of per-
sonal loss and suffering which these
figures represent; and secondly, they
must be taught that by the enact
ment Of proper ordinances governing
the safety Of life and limb, and the
provision of proper devices Of me-
chanical kind, it would be possible, In
a very few years, to reduce the cas-
ualty list by probably not less than 30
per cent,-Scientific American.

WAR ON MARIHUANA.
Mexican Government Wants to Exter-
inmate a Weed That Crazes.

inmate Weed That Crazes.
The effects of smoking the marihua-
ma weed are so harmful that an effort
Is to be made under direction of the
government TO exterminate the plant
throughout Mexico, writes New York
Sun correspondent from Mexico City
The war department issued orders
some time ago prohibiting soldiers
from smoking the herb. The law
against gathering or selling it has been
extended to apply to all classes.
The consequences Of smoking mari
huana were. shown at Monterey the
other day. A friend gave Malquiades
Mireles, a Mexican laborer, a small
supply of the weed as joke, and told
him to smoke it. Mireles rolled the
broken leaf into the form Of a cigar
ette and began smoking 1t.
Pleasurable sensations at first pass
ed over him. He had hardly finished
smoking the cigarette when he was
suddenly seized with fit Of insanity
He made a murderous assault upon his
wife with a knife and then stabbed 9
policeman.
Mireles then ran, pursued by a force
of police and other men. He ran FOL
several blocks and then turned and at
tackled his pursuers. He was knocked
senseless, bound and shut up In
room, where he remained until the ef-
fects Of the marihuana had worn OH
When he came to he could remember
nothing about his actions.
A report has been received here from
Tuxtla Gutierrez, State Of Chiapas
that Jose Solas, a deserter from the
Fifteenth battalion Of the army, while
under the influence Of marihuana kill
ell Maxima Salazar, a citizen OF thai
place. Solas was violently insane wher
he committed the murder
He learned to use marihuana while ir
the army, and his uncomfortable desire
for the weed led to his desertion. The
murder was done with knife, Solas
walking up to his victim and without
1t is rare thing for an American
to become addicted to the use OF mari
huana. One instance Of this kind Is
reported from the city of Oaxaca.
A young American located there sew
eral years ago and went into the min
ing business He prospered and be-
came wealthy. One day while on
hunting trip he was induced by an ole
Mexican to smoke a cigarette OF mari
huana. He found that the sensations
of the poison were indescribably de-
lightful.
He had smoked perhaps q dozen oi
more of the cigarettes, in as many
days, when he was suddenly seizec
with a fit Of insanity. He broke away
from his home and ran into the noun
tains where he remained for seVera
hours. The insanity fit had worn on
when he returned to town.
By that time he had become addicted
to the use Of the poison and found II
impossible to give 1t up. The insane
spells came upon him more and more
frequently, and in order to prevent
himself from doing violence to some
one he always had his servant lock him
in a strong room when he felt the frs
symptoms of the attack. His down
fall was rapid. Marihuana brought
him to his end in a few months.
II Is stated by local physicians tha'
the use Of marihuana invariably pro-
duces a homicidal mania. Many hor'
rible crimes have been committed by
men under it's influence.

He little knew, as he spoke the

laugh of youth and courage.

Waterways Needed.

The inability Of the railroads OF the
United States to meet the demands
upon them has drawn public attention
forcibly to the use Of our waterways
for transportation. But it Is obvious
that this is only one Of their many,
uses, and that planned and orderly
development is impossible except by
taking into account all the services
they are capable Of rendering. 1t was
upon this ground that the inland wa
terways commission was recently ap-
pointed. Their duty Is to propose
comprehensive plan for the improve
ment and utilization Of those great
waterways which are the great poten-
tial highways Of the country. Their
duty Is also to bring together the
points Of view Of all users Of streams,

The Musical Part of the Church Serv-
ice is not a Performance.
indianapolis News-The average
Protestant is not much given to
thinking Of the teaching OF the
hymns that he sings at church If
the music and the words appeal to
his emotions, and if he thinks that
the hymn is pretty, that, as a rule
is enough for him. But Bishop
O'Connor. of the Roman Catholic
diocese of Newark, is evidently mucn
impressed with the teaching power
Of hymns. He has forbidden the
singing as a part of the service OF
Nearer, My God to Thee and Lead
Kindly Light" The latter may be
sung after the service is entirely
over, but not as a part of the service
Nearer. My God, to Thee" may not
be sung at all For the rule of the
church is that nothing may be sung
in the churches that is not part of
the liturigical service. The Episco-
palians have much the same rule. 1t
is unlawful to sing in their churches
anything that is not in the words of

of the church.

to Cod, we shall certainly feel the IT.
Ii not the impiety OF much
that is now heard in our churches.
TIE hymns are quite as important as
the prayers. We have superb pat
tern in the Bible. The Psalms have
never been approached except by
such great Christian hymns as the
Benedictus, the Magnifcat, and the
Nunc Dimittis And it Is a matter
of great regret that the Psalms are
not sung in more Of our churches,
instead Of being merely read re-
sponsively.
There is a consciousness that our
