Safety In Railway Travel.

The National Union Of Railway Track
men has filed complaints before the
railroad commissioners of various states
IN regard to dangerous conditions the
trackmen sometimes contend with. This
question has recently become more ur-
gent on account of the serious increase
in railroad fatalities. In the last three
months of 1906 there were in the United
States, according to reports published
by the Interstate commission, 1879 de-
railments, with list of l46 persons
killed and 1917 injured. Recently the
average Of deraiments and casualties
has been far beyond the former figures.
In latter years the deraiments and
tragic list have grown beyond the ex-
pansion of railroad systems and the pop
ulation. Proportionately, there are more
accidents and greater resulting damage
to life and property.
1t is represented by the trackmen
that in some cases the rails and road
beds are defective, and that the force
maintained to watch and repair them is
insufficient. They state that more rails
are broken on account of improper sup
port by ties than by faulty manufact-
rTe in the steel mills. 1t is further

such fraternities, and in several states
Supreme Court decisions have upheld
the right of school boards to regulate
them by excluding thei. members from
school athletics and honors as an incid-
ent to the general powers of administra-
ton vested in the boards.
In Chicago an attempt to regulate the
fraternities was made by the school
board some years ago, but inJunctions
in the lower courts have been allowed
to drag along without final decision, the
fraternities all the while remaining in
the schools.
Various bad influences have been
proved to rest in the fraternities rang
ing all the way from snobbishness and
inattention to school work to immoral
ity. Superintendent Cooley has just
made tabulation of the scholarship re-
core Of fraternity and sorority mem
be- in one of the high schools for the
past year which all by itself furnishes
sufficient reason for putting an end to
the societies. The average markings of
121 members fell just below rs per cent,
and only one of the students ranked as
high as 80. In the three worst fraterni-
ties from this point of view thirteen
members out of twenty-one fell below
76 per cent.
Spreading first from the colleges to
the high schools, the fraternities are
now spreading downward into the gram
mar schools. The Ray School is said to
have already three such organizations.
The school board should instruct its
attorney to press legal proceedings as
rapidly as possible to finish, and it
should take whatever measures are
within it's power to end the pest once
for all.

One Physician Enouuh,

The latest story about Senator Pet
tus of Alabama is, of how he was
overcome with vertigo, some time ago
while working on law case in his
Alabama Office. He recovered in a
few minutes and his clerk said he
was going to send for a doctor. "All
right" said the 1octogenarian, "but
don't get more than one" When the
doctor arrived the senator said: You
are the only doctor here, are you?
You're sure there's only one of you:"
"Oh, yes. SENATOR" said the physi-
clan, who thought the old gentleman
had some confidential communication
to make. I'm mighty glad of it"
the senator said, with a sigh of'relief.

only one of you fellows here but I
could not survive a consultation"

ROBERT SCOTT.
Robert Scott, Navajo's law
maker in the upper house, was
born in Oregon and came to Ari-
zona twenty-nine years ago. He
settled in Apache county and
soon became one of the large
sheep owners of northern Ari-
zona. This is Mr.. Scott's first
political Office. He is a lifelong
Republican, but very liberal in
his political views, and it IS no.
ticeable that he is often found
voting with the Democratic
minority when he thinks these
men represent the best interests
of the territory. Mr.. Scott lives
at Show Low. is married and
has two children.
Councilman Scott is chairman
of the committee on territorial
affairs, one of the leading COM
mittees of the council. He is a
man of exceedingly pleasing man
ners, courteous and kindly, and
is very popular with his col
leagues. The little county Of
Navajo is to be congratulated
upon sending such a sterling,
honorable man as Robert Scott
to represent it IN the twenty
fourth legisla ture.
WILLIAM MORGAN.
William Morgan of Navajo
county was born in Chicago,
but has lived SO long in Arizona
that he says he feels like anative.
He resides at Lake Side, near
Show Low, and has lived ON the
same section of land for twenty
nine years. Mr.. Morgan was a
member of the twenty-frst legis-
lative assembly and took an
active part in the deliberations of
that body. The gentleman has
served his county as supervisor
for six years and also as justice
of the peace. Few men in Arizona
are more popular with their
townsmen than is William
Morgan. j
Mr.. Morgan is engaged in the
sheep business a business he has
followed with success for twenty
five years. He is the author of
House bill No. 11S, bill to re-
move the $4,000 limit, on the
statute books, for which suit for
the destruction of a human lite
can be brought. The Navajo
assemblyman is fearless in the
advocacy of what he considers
right, a man of unquestionable
integrity and ability, and a man
that his friends can always de-
pend upon. Mr.. Morgan was.
