Alcoholic intemperance, says Mr.
Mosby, is both a cause and an eject

While the Missouri pardon attorney
does not find that intemperanee in an
otherwise normal individual will nee
essarily result in crime, he does con-
clude that in persons who are neurot-
ieally inclined. or whose wili power is
naturally weak. alcoholism is apt to
result in complete degeneracy.
The growth of insanity, suicide and
crime says Mr.. Mosby, keeps pace
with the consumption g. alcoholic
drinks. This is true not only fcr the
United States, but of Europe aswell.
Professor Schooling is authority for
the statement that one-third Of the in,
sanity of Great Britain is due to the
drink habit and Professor Eerri has
demonstrated that the seasons or
greatest vintages in France are also
noted as periods of greatest criminal
ity.
According to the 'dictionaire des
Sciences Medicales. as per cent of the
crime of England is due solely TO the
alcohol, while the crimes of other ma

question of compelling advanced tn.
berculosis patients to travel In spe-
cial compartments brings up again
the knotty point of compulsory noti-
tication. Two of the largest trans
continental lines in America are con.
sidering the question of refusing to
sell tickets for ordinary trains to any
one suspected of having tuberculosis
or other contagious disease unless
authorized by the health officer Of the
district where the ticket is sold. AS
soon as tuberculosis is officially placed
on the list of contagious diseases by
the United States government 1t is
expected that the rule will be en-,
forced.
At the present time the most SAM
tary carriages in England are the old
wooden-seated third-class compart.
ments on certain of the lines. These
at least have no filthy cushions and
curtains TO collect and harbor the
dust-borne microbes. The hygenic
carriage should be modelled roughly
on these lines. All angles and cor
ners where dust can collect should be
rounded. Window curtains should be
OF mating and detachable, so that
they can be removed and thoroughly
brushed. The seats and backs should
be of cane and removable, so that all
aspects as well as floor, roof and
walls of the compartments could be
thoroughly scrubbed at intervals.

such a carriage would be simple, ef-
flcient and quickly accomplished.

! Percentage expenses to earnings,
$500 per cent.
Nowhere in the annual report
is any account taken of the item
on interest on the capital invested. As
the capital invested III the railways is
part of the national debt, that item of
interest is paid somehow. Another
thing | noticed in the report included
in the total revenue, amount of reve-
nue. received by railway department
from other departments of the gov
eminent, $685., 2O2." l also under
stand the item of amount received
from freight" includes charges on all
material transported over its lines
used in obstruction of new roads.
| find the following statement in one
of the leading papers, over the sigma
ture of Samuel Vale who for the last
rs years has been diligent student
Of the railway problem and more par
ticularly of that portion of it which
relates to the policy which should
govern railway administration:
I'm the railway statement of 1906 1t
is boldly stated that our lines earned
a percentage of profit to capital in
vested of 324 per cent, the fact being
that in that year we made dead
loss of within $4,000 of $500, 900"
A White Elephant.
About ten years ago loan of $751;
000, 900 was authorized by this gov
eminent ito be expended In construct
ing and equipping railways hve
million dollars of it to be available
each year. There is four years more
after the present one before it will
all be expended. The chief work be-
ing carried on is a line connecting
this city with the capital, and called
the main trunk line. There remains
only a comparatively short gap now,
but it is one Involving some costly and
fine engineering work. It is hoped TO
have it opened by the end OF 1908.
The other is a tunnel five mifes long
under the mountains on line to
cross the south island. The contract
was recently let for 100000, and
the contractor has five years to com
pIete it in. From my own observa-
ton of the Otago Central, a line 14S

years service. Consider how it
works:
Two young men enter the service
One, after ten years service, knows
more than die other viii after 80
years, yet he is held back. He can't
be advanced according 10 his ability
but BY law, hence the service is
mostly carried on by set Of old men
who would take il as an insult to sug-
gest anything tending to improve the
business. And why shouldn't they?
Hasn't the government got a monop-
oily OF the business? There is no
other company adopting any improve
ments to increase its business hence
they don't have to do anything differ
ent to hold their patronage.
Government Organ Complains.
AS an indication of the state of af-
fairs among the employees, l clip the
following from an editorial appear
ing in the Star administration of
Sept IT:
For a long time past there has
been a great deal OF dissatisfaction
and unrest prevalent among the en-
ployes of the railway department.
Generally speaking, the railway men
complain that they are overworked
and underpaid, and that they have no
facilities for representing their griev-
ances or securing redress. We may
say at once that. SO far as we can
see, there is good ground for many of
these complaints. The facts have
been constantly urged on the notice
OF parliament. As to the salaries, the
average, even in the better paid
classes seems absurd low. Clerks
VINO have worked hard for fifteen to
twenty years should not be expected
to content themselves with e140
$1,000 or cleo ($S00) a year; and
guards who have done their duty in
dustriously and conscientiously for
ten or fifteen years should surely be
worth more than SIS. 6p. ($212) or IS.
(S2.25) a day. In these respects ii
must be obvious to any one who con
siders the facts that a very strong
case has been made out for investiga.
ton and reform. But unjust and op-
pressive as such a system is to the
workers, it is matter Of even more
serious concern to the general mass
of the people. 1t is absurd to suppose
that the railway service will continue
to attract intelligent, capable and in
dustrious men when it is generally re-
allied what poor prospects the rail-
way employees have before them.
The government has now no longer
any excuse for ignor.Ag the patent fact
that the efficiency of our railway sys-
TEN suffers. and the safety of the gem
eral public may be endangered through
a policy of underpaying and over
working our railway men.
