oovERNoR ANp LIE.

The Miami Evening Record, which
has been staunch Supporter OF the
stockton-Broward political faction, re.
fers as follows to that part OF the
Governors message condemning Ger,
tain newspapers and asking the Legis-
lature to muzzlev them by the enact
ment OF a law which would prohibit
editors expressing honest opinions re.
garding men and measures with which
they took issue. Says The Record
~In his message to the Legislature
the Governor recommended to that
body that laws be passed making it
misdemeanor to circulate in print any
false information upon any public
question or 70 print any malicious
statement or falsehood about candl-
date for Office
"This section of the message has
given rise to considerable criticism
of the Governor and that distinguish.
ed gentleman has replied in letter
which is published in today's Evening
Record.
1T would appear that the Governor
is too sensitive to attacks by news
papers.
Every newspaper man who dares
express an opinion contrary to that
held by his brethren OF the press
knows what 1t is to be pilloried in
public print, and soon learns to value
adverse criticism at its true worth.
Newspaper criticism OF candidates
and measures. even in the hottest of
Florida campaigns, is mild and gen
tie to what was the custom of half
ago all over the country.
THE American people have learn |
ed that in full and free discussion by
the newspapers of every phase OF po- |
litlcal life is safety, and they will sub. /
NIT to no laws that will curtail that
freedom of the press to critleise and
blame, even If the bounds of truth are
overstepped. Exaggera.
ton is at times better than no ex-
preston at all.
ITO layman the enforcement of
the Governors proposition would ap-
pear to be extremely difficult. How
IS It to be determined when informa-
lion furnished to a newspaper is UNI
true? What shall constitute mali
,iousness, where a newspaper has no
feeling against candidate other
han the desire to see an opponent
elected?
AS an instance: During the last
on drainage the Governor
himself appeared in print In a Key
Vest paper over his own signature,
the people OF Monroe coun-
y that all the counties in the drain
.ge district were in favor Of the con.
titutional amendment.
"As il turned out, only one OF the
I've counties in the district was In
avor OF the amendment.

proposed law, he amenabIe to pun

A Big Change.

As one long connected with the Uni
versity sees the stream of humanity
which pours out of the street car on
reaching the university on its first
morning trip, his mind naturally re-
verts to the time, less than ten years
ago, when the university bus afford
ing comfortable transportation to
about Is persons in a single trip, with
maximum capacity of about Is per-
sons, filled all the demand there was
for transportation facilities between
Grand Forks and the university. In
all but the stormiest weather, the bus
was rarely crowded and in the fall and
spring months it often made it's trips
with but one or two passengers. One
of the younger professors was over
heard to say the other day that when
he first came to the university he rode
In the bus every day in order to help
keep it running, but that when the
bad weather came he was often crowd
ed out by the rush of those who never
thought of riding in the bus except
in the most inclement weather.
Going little further back, the old
timer on the faculty recalls the fact
that 1t was not an unprecedented sight
to see deer and wolves ambling leis-
urely across the university grounds in
broad daylight even when the univer-
sity was in session.

RAILWAY SLAUGHTER
Fearful List of Casualties Annually Presented.

Every f1fty-five minutes somebody
was killed by the railroads OF the
United States during the last year re-
ported by the Inter State commerce
commission, and every six minutes
somebody was injured. The appall-
ing totals were 9,70S killed and &c.
COS injured.
The railroads counted far more
dead at the close of the year than
the Union army lost by Confederate
bullets In the batteries of Gettysburg,
Antietam and the Seven Days around
Richmond combined. In these engage
ments the total killed was 6,914.
In the decentralization which fol-
lowed the great conflict between the
French and the allies it was impos-
sible to record accurately how many
of Napoleon's men were shot to death
on the frightful field of Waterloo. 1t
has been variously reckoned that his
losses were from $4,000 to $4,000
killed, wounded and missing, so that
1t Is safe to say that the railroads of
the United States killed more per-
sons last year than were slain in
Napoleon's ranks in that furious storm
OF shot and shell.
This train of massacre and carnage
was along 216,973 miles of operated
track, which means dead bodies were
strewn twenty-one miles apart on the
railroads Of the country, and cripple
was left every two and one-half
miles. Figures are not stupid when
they speak so tragically. 1t takes
such comparisons to awaken us to
our national shame-for when all is
said this ruthless and perennial
slaughter is nothing short of a ma.
tional degradation. Is it accident?
Is it chance? Must this annual death
roll. furnished to the federal govern
ment by the railroads themselves, be
passed over as fortutious-a thing
that can't be helped?
An accident is described in Web
ster's dictionary as IAN event that
takes place without ones foresight or
expectation; an event that proceeds
from an unknown cause, or is an
unusual effect Of known cause, and
therefore not expected" 1t is not
put down by Noah Webster or any
other known philologist that accidents
cannot be prevented. So, if men,
women. and children are to be killed
annually in numbers equivalent to
ten regiments of soldiers by so-called
accidents on the rail, it would seem
high time the country set itself to
the task of preventing these acct
dents. For the year ended March 81,
1906, there were 6,S34 collisions and
6,279 derailments on the American
railroads, a total of 1918 so-called
accidents, or one to every sixteen
and half miles of track
1t takes no railroad expert to ex-
plain the causes of collisions and de-
railments. Every layman knows that
when two trains come together it is
because the railroad is not properly
equipped with signals, brakes and
other devices for preventing such mis-
haps, or is due to the negligence of
one or more of the men who have
the trains under their management,
or one or more of the men in the sig
nal service or operating the telegraph
wires. When train is derailed every
layman knows that it is because of

LAST DAY or THE
COTTON CONVENTION


Associated Press to The Evening Tiues.
Birmingham, Ala, Jan. 19.-The
proceedings of this the final day of
the Southern Cotton association con-
vention, were deferred for few min
utes at the opening this morning
while several of the prominent men,
bers were called upon to speak a few
words in tribute to the memory of
General Lee.
The chief speakers heard during the
day and their topics were as follows:
THE Modern Cotton Warehouse, Con-
struction and Economy of Operation"
w. D. Nesbitt, Birmingham; "The Am
erican Cotton Crop" Governor B. B.
Conner of Alabama; "The Men Neces-
sary to Handle the Cotton Crop
Through the Southern Cotton Associa-
tion," John P. Allison, Concord, N. c.;
Relation of Southern Bankers to the
Cotton Crop" John D. Walker, Sparta,
Ca; Higher Prices for the Growers
of American Cotton" T. G. Bush,
Birmingham; 1.-THE Best Medium of
Reaching and Educating the Cotton
Growers to the True Value of Their
Staple Crop" B. H. Burnett, Chicka-
lah, Ark.

a rotten Ne. or a spreading rail, or q
loose spike, or some obstruction on
the track that should not be there.
This, in a nutshell. explains the
causes Of the wrecks which scatter
havoc along the roadbeds of the
American railway lines. The deadly
grade crossing, on which so many
lives are annually sacrificed, needs
no explanation. The deaths from
coupling cars. jumping on or of NOV
ing trains. the parting of trains. fall
ing from engines of trains, or such
as result from the general work about
the shops and yards, may or may not
find their explanation In the element
Of chance-accident.
What would the people Of the Unit
ed States have to say about 1t II the
powers at Washington sat supinely
while ten regiments of the standing
army were marched out in single
year and shot down? The COMPARE
son Is not far fetched when the woeful
lack of attention to SO serious a mat
ter at Washington is taken into con-
sideration.
For nearly twenty years the inter
state commerce commission has been
at work as an investigation body with
special duties of looking after the peo-
pies interests in their dealings with
the railroads. but it was not until
March 3. 1901, that congress passed
law requiring all railroads to make
monthly reports to this body of all
railway accidents, their causes and
the number Of killed and injured. 1t
should be borne in mind that the pow
ers of the inter state commerce COM
mission go little further than to re-
ceive these reports as they come in.
The commission has absolutely no su-
pervisory, no corrective power. All
that congress has ever done to put
a stop to the annual butchery of the
railroads was by little enactment
of March 2, 1893, which required rail-
roads to adopt automatic brakes
and couplers. This law was amended
ten years later. SO as to require that
at least so per centum of the cars of
train be equipped with such devic-
es. The inter state commerce COM
mission then received more investi-
eating powers. It could send out the
few inspectors allowed 1t to ascer-
tain which of the railroads were dis
regarding this law about brakes and
couplers, and when this information
was in hand recommendations could
be made so that the courts take up
the prosecution. The result has been
that few fines have been imposed.
Meanwhile, the commission has the
painful dtty of reminding congress
every three months in bulletins and
every year in more comprehensive
report that the railroads of the coun-
try are killing men. women and child
rem at the rate of twenty-six day
and injuring 237 day. Months may
roll on, months and years may yield
to years, but congress sits idly await
ing these little accident bulletins
issued> under covers of the gay and
glorious red, white and blue, with
never thought to solemn as to Or
der that they be bound in black. =
In England, the board of trade,
which has charge of such matters,
is department of the government
and is vested with full power to regu-
late the railroads.
