The greatest alarm was caused when
the wind struck the water and the frail
pleasure craft on it. In many cases
the boats were swamped, the occu-

Obliged to swim to shore. In other

RAILROAD FATALITIES.

Do the public realize the enormous
number of persons killed annually in
railroad accidents in the United
States?
Do they know that in the careless,
happy-go-lucky way in which our
railways are operated 9,703 persons
lost their lives and 86,008 were in
iured during the last fiscal year?
This is not guess work These are
official figures.
Think of it! Nearly 10000 dead
and not far from 100000 manned
within twelve months by systems
that send carloads of freight and pas
sengers rushing over the country
nell nell in a devil-may-care fash
ion, with the result of trains ditched
here, others blowing into each other
there, grade crossings having their
victims at numerous places and
wrecks of minor importance swelling
the number of the dead who are
victims of improper management.
This is the cold, solid truth about
it, according to a metropolitan pa
per. 1t is not to be denied or soft
ened down, or managerially CLOSED
over with indignant assertions that
accidents are unavoidable and often
due to what old-fashioned bills OF
lading called the ''act of God. -
Heaven is not engaged in the work
of doing a two-track business on a
single-track road for the added profit
there is in it. Nor does it summon
men to eternity by way of grade
crossings. These are the doings OF
railroad directors who, through in
competence of direction or official
greed, so overload the traffic system,
so carelessly run trains that invite
disaster, that wrecks, with the lists
of wounded and dead, are terribly
numerous.
