ANOTHER RAILROAD ACCIDENT

Another serious railway accident
has occurred and another twenty-five
humans have been blotted out from
this life as result of mistake. The
list of railway fatalities during the
past few weeks has been appalling and
the continuance of the record at regu-
lar intervals sets the country to wor.
rying over the matter.
It Is said that an efrort will be made
to invest in the interstate commerce
commission that power to hold inves-
the remedies may be applied and sim
liar occurrences prevented second
time. Heretofore Investigations have
generally been held by coroners' jul
ries but coroners' inquests are gener-
ally rather lame when 1t comes to the
point of furnishing a remedy.
1t is asserted that nearly all of these
railway accidents are preventable and
that each disaster should be followed
by the remedy against its recurrence.
This would mean progress Of a decid-
ed type. 1t would perhaps be appre-
ciated by the public If little of the
legislative energy now being shot at
corporations in scores of proposed
laws, some of them representing sent
iment identical with those of the once
dead populist party, were turned to-
ward a calm determination 10 talk
