The Ride to- Death.

Further details of the causes of that
wreck on the Big Four at Fowler, Ind,
inform us that there was a dense fog
that night and that the engineer on
the passenger train was not able to
see the signals displayed. The man at
the station appreciated that perhaps
the engineer would not be able to see
the warming signal, so got on the track
and tried to get his attention with sup
Elementary signals and the firing of It
revolver But the engineer saw not,
and neither could he hear the pop of
a revolver above the roar of the train,
and he and his cargo of humanity rode
on to death.
This is not pleasant reading for the
public that sometimes rides in cars
when the weather is foggy. 1t is start
ling to learn that when an engineer
cannot see signals he goes by and as
sumes they are all right and give him
the right of way. Why did not that
engineer bring his train TO a stop at
Fowler and learn what the signal was?
Signals are posted to be seen ami
needed, presumably, and yet when they
cannot be seen in a fog the man in the
engine rides by. If that is the prac-
tice. the wonder is there are not more
wrecks.
The one who has ridden much in
trains has often wondered if every
thing was going all right when there
was a fog on the earth. He got through
all right, perhaps. and then concluded
they must have some way to distin-
guish signals. Now he learns that per
haps it was owing to good luck that he
got through and that in fact the sig
nails may have not been seen. The
next time you are riding in a fog you
may be tempted TO get off at the first
stop and wait for another train, one
that will come along after the fog lifts
But is it fact that railroads permit
engineers to go by signals without see
ing them?

Young Men to the Fore.

Recent elections have resulted in in
fusing considerable young blood into
the United States senate. Three
states have selected members who
have not yet reached 40 years. -
Kentucky and Delaware are rivals
for the distinction of being represent
ed by the youngest senator. Senator
]. c. w. Beckham had the honor to be
elected governor of his state when but
a little more than 80, and now at the
age of 81 enters the United States
senate. Delaware has elected Harry
a. Richardson to succeed J. Frank
Alice. Senator Richardson is only 81.
the youngest man TO be honored so
highly by his state.
Norris Brown. the new senator from
nebraska. is but 43, six years the Junior
of Senator Dolliver of Iowa. Senator
Charles Curtis of Kansas is AZ. and
Senator William Alden Smith of Michi-
gan but year older.
There are members of the senate.
notably the two senators of Alabama
who are more than twice the age of
Senators Richardson. Beckham or
Brown. The old timers are being dis
placed by young men, verifying the
prediction that young men will dom
mate American political affairs in the

said that under a system of control
there would incidentally be created a
great many more staff officers.
Even a casual study of the state
militia will prove to the interested OBJ
server that of the many things it may
need and the numerous proposed
things it may not need, there is moth
ing less needed than more officers.
Epaulets and gold braid have too long
predominated in the national guard.
There have been too many officers.
Any one doubling the truth of this as
sertion need only recall those ridicu-
lous "sunburst' colonels who used TO
cluster themselves usually about gov
errors and others in command. and
who merely filed uniforms. cost the
state money, and acted in the capacity
of ornaments. Useless and ornamen-
tai colonies have been reduced in num-
Der. 1t is a good thing. The public
became tired of supporting these gold
braided human Christmas tree orna-
ments.
What the national guard needs is
something TO awake interest among
the rank and file What the national
guard needs is something as an in
centive to the private soldier to at
tend drill, to fulfill the requirements
of the private soldier. and thus to de-
velop greater interest and more thor
ough discipline in the ranks.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: Not all the
speeches that William ]. Bryan could
deliver in his lifetime would make as
many converts to his latest theory as
have been made by z. H. Hartman
and others of his kidney in the last
five years. 1t is conceivable. too. that
Mr.. Bryan's prolonged silence on this
subject has been due to his belief that
his dearest foes are playing his game
better than he could himself. If such
is the fact he is not mistaken. The

If the courts do not vindicate the
right of the state of California to con-
troll its own public schools. in its own
way, the litigation which President
Roosevelt has instituted to test that
right is likely to outlast the duration
OF Scott Bibbs' suit to get negro chill
dren into the white schools of Alton.
As long as California refuses them, no
treaty can make the Japs stick in the
schools which California founded and
supports by state taxation.
