RELIEF MUST
COME.

The newspapers Of the entire country
are filled almost daily with accounts Of
horrible railroad wrecks, anu henious
crimes that are continually committed ia
different 81 ctions. For the past three
months horrible wreck has be>n re-
ported every few days in which number
Of lives have been lost. The question a
10 what is causing 50 many Of these ac-
cidents is one that is being asked evsry
thinking man.
When thoroughly analized and sifted
to the bottonl it resolves itself 10 to Two
simdle reasons. First, the great strug-
gle for the almighty dollar with which
to increa the dividend has caused the
roads to allow their property to run down
TO such IN extent that it has become inn
possible to render the public anything
like satisfactory and safe service.
The second proves 10 he incompetent
head officials, who have allowed lax mBn-
agenent and negligence on the part Of
all the employees to such an extent that
even the service rendered by the most ina-
proved is Of a very interior quality.
How long will a suffering public stand
for this state Of aAairsl If II remedy is
not soon applied by the roads 10 improve
upon this rotten service. the suffering
public will be forced TO rise 10 the emer-
gency and 20 to the ballot box for relief,
and elect men to Office who will pass laws
that will give the reqaired relief.
II such state Of affairs continue a few
years, the government ownership plank
of the old pOpulist party could be brought
to life by one Of the leading parties and
II would strike popular cord with the
masses In our not:onal election. Relief
must come and 1t the roads don't furnish
1t the people --Thomasville Press.
