]. Y. SANDERS FOR GOVERNOR.

The Beacon-News prefers Lieu
tenant Governor Sanders for the
next Governor of Louisiana, be-
cause he is the biggest, brainiest
man in the race, and the only one
who is not actually too old and
enfeebled to be an active, useful
and progressive executive. He is
more than this, the only man who
stands for anything other than
lot Of stereatyped arguments which
have behind them about this much
sincerity: 81 want the office of
Governor" Not since governors
have asked for the Office in Louis
lana, has such a bold, forceful and
manly platform, covering in the
abstract all the questions con-
fronting the people Of the State,
been put before an intelligent
electorate as an appeal to their
justice and common sense. Such
a document is the direct derivative
Of a sound mentality accentuat-
ed by honest purpose-sincerity
breathes in every line. 1t is the
first time a man has departed from
the old order of things of pander-
ing to the patronage Of this or
that politician, ward boss or polit-
ical fixer, fearing lest he incur dis
favor. Sanders, we say, has
shown his stalwart young man
hood and boldly given his con-
scientious opinion on any and all
issues OF vital interest to the peo-
pie. He gives terse, pithy opin-
ioa, and outlines of his convic-
tions on such questions as nom
interference of the executive with
independent departments of gov
ernment, taxation, the State debt,
railroad regulation, waterways,
good roads, levees, factories, i'm
migration, veterans of the lost
cause, public education, dual Office
holding and election laws.-Rich-
land Beacon News.

result is that the impurities In the pip

Put the steel rail to the severest test

steel rails were increased In weight
from so to 100 pounds-per yard the fire.
Quency OF track breakages continued
to increase faster than ever.
The trouble is also blamed on the
fact that the enormous demand for
steel tracks make 1t impossible with
the present facilities to turn out as
good rails as In former years. Still
other engineers who have investigated
the situation advance the theory that
the best grades of ores used in the
manufacture of iron and steel are in
ferior in quality. Still another theory
has been recently advanced by
John w. Gates. who believes that the
manufacturers use a percentage Of
waste material in the rails which years
ago was thrown away. When the steel
Is cast in the great ingots the upper
part Of the casting is full Of air holes
and impurities. At one time this
faulty part, according to Mr. Gates,
was cut away completely and thrown
into the scrap heap Today, according
to Mr. Gates, this part. or a consider
able portion OF 1t. Is rolled into the
steel. thus saving from 10 to 20 per
cent OF the material. This faulty or
impure steel is likely to split and
crack long before the pure steel Of
the lower part Of the fngot.
The question has arisen whether the
best steel rails obtainable made by the
old or Bessemer process are capable OF
standing the enormous strain which
modern railroad traffic makes on them.

Some Startling Statistics

The exact influence of the old wooden
cars or of the split rail upon the whole
number OF deaths and casualties On
railroads is, of course. difficult to de-
termine Both causes. however. con-
tribute in large number 10 the frfghtful
totals in all accidents The latest quar-
terly bulletin on railroad accidents Ia

mission serves to direct attention, If
indeed anything were needed. to the
present situation. The increase in rail-
road accidents is out oe all proportion
to the increase In railroad travel, greas
as IL is
During the three months ending with
December last there were among train
men and passengers 20.944 casualties.
This number marks an increase OF
nearly 1,160 over the preceding thres
months. The number of passengers
killed in this quarter with a single ex-
ception was the largest on record. there
being 1.430 deaths OF this number 1lj
were killed in three accidents. IE
seems almost incredible that the nun
Der Of accidents should be nearly 5000
mouth. or nearly 700 day. The av-
erage death rate throughout the civil
war Is trifiing in comparison, as Is the
late Russo-Japanese war. The hor-
rors of war. in other words. seem In
considerable as compared with the toll
OF the railroads in ,.me OF peace.
Such condition OF affairs seems the
more inexcusable when tho proportion
OF accidents N America Is compared
with that Of European countries. The
statistics for 1908 show that the num-
ber OF killed in railroad accidents for
every million carried was .07 In the
United Kingdom, .0S In the German en-
pire and .02 IN France. while In ths
United States the proportion was 81
In other words. for years past the av-
erage number OF killed In the United
States has been some ~ to 80 times
greater than In European countries.
The classification OF all accidents shows
a variety of causes The untrustworth-
mess or employees. the lack OF proper
signal apparatus, too high speed at
dangerous points and broken rails are
among the commonest causes. 1t - OBJ
vious. OF course. tnat the Introduction

The lack OF proper signal equipment

provided with this obvious necessity -

the government According to the Of
fetal government reports. the total

was 4S,743 miles. or only about one

the countr7. And OF the roads thus
equipped only some $500 miles were

words, will chang the air OF the car
every four minutes. This will be done
without drafts or air currents of any
kind. The air is taken in by hoods at
either end of the car roof and after be-
ing heated is discharged from openings
beneath the seats.
The improvement and safeguarding
of the passenger car has to do rather
with the enect than the cause of rail-
road fatalities. The official statistics
relating to the question of faulty rails,
which have recently been published, are
startling. A crisis would seem to have
been reached. The report of the state
railroad commission shows that the
number of broken rails removed from
the tracks in 1905 was LIS. In 1906
there were 804. and in 1907 the number
had increased to 2,o99. The figures, OF
course, speak for themselves. The SIT
uation is SO startling that great wave
of protest has risen, and public interest
in the broken rail peril has been
aroused all over the country.
A number of prominent railroad men
have sought to explain the situation
The increase in the number of broken
rails in the last five years over any
other period in the history Of railroad
ing is, of course, admitted. It is as
serted, however. that the quality ,f
steel rails has suffered as the result of
the enormous demand made upon the
manufacturers. 1t Is asserted that such
breakages should be stopped, or at
least their number largely reduced by
better methods OF manufacturing. 1t lis
further declared that the railroads not
only do not seek to economic. but are
willing to pay NOR for rails If they
could obtain a better quality.
1t is pointed out that a few years ago
the more important railroads prepared
their own specifications and these were
accepted by the manufacturers, who. In
addition. gave guarantee with each
order OF rails. Some Ave years ago.
or at about the time the increase in
steel breakages began, this custom was
abandoned. The manufacturers re-
fused to accept such specifications, but
supplied their own. A little later the
makers of rails refused to give any
guarantee with their rails. 1t is

measured the force OF such impacts
with mathematical accuracy. A dyna-
mometer car weighing $1,000 pounds
in violent collision with a number of
loaded freight cars, for instance,
showed that a force of 100000 pounds
had been exerted in the impacts An
other experiment consisted OF made
up collision between a dynamometer
car attached to a loaded steel freight
car and a loaded freightcar standing on
a track. The dynamometer registered
100000 pounds. In these new construe-
tions the passenger cars should be
stronger, in order to escape with as
little injury as possible. In an actual
collision between passenger coaches
and freightcars il is of course largely q
question of the survival of the fittest.
The standard steel freightcars are de-
signed to resist an end shock equiva-

claimed BY sumo xsxs since this time
the steel rails have tor the most part
been OF inferior quality and hence the
greater number OF broken rails and OF
railroad accidents.
The manufacturers OF steel rails. on
the other hand. declare that the In
creased traffio which railroads are re-
Quired to carry and the fact that all
rolling stock. locomotives and cars alike
are much heavier than in old times
make the strain on rails much greater.
They assert that railroads should
recognize this situation and meet 1t by
using heavier rails suitable for the
new demands The reply Of the rail-
roads to this particular claim IL that
what is needed is not q heavier rail
but one OF better material. To prove
this it is pointed out that even when
The San Francisco call., 1907-06-09

plate and steel projectiles no other
product in the field OF steel products
is subjected to such strain. 1t is as
serted by some that these modern rails
have a considerable percentage OF phos-
phorus in their composition. and this
renders them brittle and liable TO split.
The Bessemer process does not permit
the phosphorus to be removed. so that
the percentage which existed IL the
The San Francisco call., 1907-06-09

original ore will be found in the rails.
The best rails manufactured 10 wears
ago contained less than l per cent Of
phosphorus, the proportion therefore
being so slight that it had little or no
enect. Rails OF this kind which were
laid IL years ago have been known to
carry traffic of 350.000.000 tons with
out splitting or cracking and with very
slight wearing away. The compost
ton OF modern steel rails adopted by
agreement Of the manufacturers In
cludes 10 per cent OF phosphorus. In
otner words, the percentage of phos-
phorus has increased so per cent in the
last 10 years. 1t is the rails of this
class which have caused the increase
In the number of accidents.
The increase in the proportion of
phosphorus simply means of course
that the ores available today have
more phosphorus than the ores used
10 years ago. The process OF manu-
featuring rails meanwhile remains the
same. When the quality of the ores
coming from the mines began to depre-
ciate some years ago the manufacturers
tried to counteract the. influence by de-
creasing the amount of carbon in the
steel This had the result of making
rails which would not split but, on the
other hand, 1t rendered them so soft
that they wore away rapidly on the
curves. Complaints came from the rail-
roads, and as a result the manufactur-
ers raised the amount Of carbon, with
the result that the rails were made
brittle.
There is but one known method by
which ores with considerable percen-
tage OF phosphorus can be made quick
~ and cheaply. 1t Is known as the
open hearth process. The number OF
plants capable of making rails by this
q hOx
Is estimated that to establish omen
hearth plants would call for an outlay
OF S60.000,000- The problem, therefore
resolves itself into purely financial
one. The present manufacturers prefer
to continue their Bessemer process.
Present Form Condemned
1t Is asserted by some engineers
again that the present form of steel
rails is at fault. and that 1t Is inpos-
sible to prevent the rails splfnterinx z
and cracking as long as IL IS en-
ployed. The rails used today through
out the country. although heavier than
those In use a few years ago, are still
rolled In exactly the same form. The
trafdc they must support. meanwhils.
has become much heavier and more
frequent. 1t may be well to explain
that the top of the rail, which comes
into contact with the wheels of the
train. is termed the ball" or shead'' of
the rail- The part supporting the heal

GREAT CROWDS HEAR SUNDAY
Largest Meeting of Entire Series Is
Held Yesterday BY Famous
EVANGELIST.

Knoxville. June ga crowd Of more
than 1000 persons attended the meet
ings which have been conducted here
during the last three weeks by Billy
Sunday, the evangelist. Farmers from
twenty miles around drove to town
and excursions were run on both the
Rock Island and Burlington railroads
Sixty-seven were converted during the
afternoon and 104 in the evening. OF
this number twelve were members Of
the local military company Twenty of
the company have now become con-
verted.
During the afternoon Miss Susan
Paxson of Chicago addressed meet
ing of women in the Methodist church
and later on an overflow meeting OF
500 at the Christian church.
Sunday has broken away from sem
satiosalism in his sermons, preaching
Yesterday on orthodox subjects and
with most of his slang expressions
eliminated.
