ATHENA. ORE. APRIL 3...... 1908

In a consular report from Germany
which was published some months ago,
the statement was made that not only
is every wreck, collision or minor rail
road accident Thoroughly investigat-
ed" in that country, but that "invar
iably some one is held responsible and
punished for the occurrence" except
where the proof is conclusive that
human vigilance and care could not
have averted it. 1t is strange and
perplexing to contrast this condition
with the situation in this country.
Apart from the fact that as yet no
provision has been made for thorough
governmental investigation of acci-
dents and for reports definitely fixing
responsibility, there is the graver cir
cumstances that no one here is appar-
emily In danger of punishment for his
share of responsibility for railroad
accident. So far no one has ever been
convicted for negligence causing
wreck, and the result of recent trials
is very significant, to say the least.
The other day jury acquitted the
engineer, conductor aud brakeman
who had been indicted for the Terra
Gotta, d. g wreck of year ago, one
of the worst railroad disasters in the
history of such oalamities. The evil
dence In regard to the signals was
conflicting, aud the engineer proved
that he had worked extra hours-of his
own free willard gone long without
sleep Immediately before the accident.

How shortsighted aud selfish our re-
publican proteotionist statesmen have
been They have thrown away tho
trade of half the continent by making
the tariff tax so high that Canada can
only trade,with us to limited extent,
aud also ty refusing to moderate this
proteotionism by reciprocity. To pro-
tect herself from our trust products,
Canada, very naturally, was compelled
to raise a similar tariff wall. The Ie-
sult is that the people of both ooun-
tries are plundered by the high price
of products that under tariff for rev.
enue they could buy much cheaper.

the water is heated just as it is drawn

the hotter the water.
