Of blood; every ambitious project of
considerable size OF Importance but
adds to the sacrifice; every victory
achieved on land or water increases
the awful death score; every foot Of
alien ground acquired by any govern
ment but contributes to the death list.
Back of it all there are three things
-carelessness, greed, ambition-and
these three beget indifference. and
the death list grows.
Almost every day we read of some
frightful disaster-in mines-on rail-
roads-in burning buildings, careless
ly erected-in encounters between
foes-in battles between armies-and
always there is the inevitable list of
dead and injured.
1t is wrong, it is criminal, to thus
sacrifice human life to carelesness,
greed and ambition.
1t is an ever-present crime prevail
ent in high places.
During the latter portion of last
week more than three hundred lives
were lost in coal mines disasters
thirty persons were killed in railroad
wrecks; six were burned to death in
poorly constructed buildings, and
three were murdered because of hat
red
This is record of three days. and
only a partial one at that. For this
week perhaps the list will not be as
large-it will certainly have it's vic
tins.
There is something radically wrong
in a condition of affairs which per-
mits such a wholesale sacrifice of life.
That wrong should be righted. Life
is not a thing to be carelessly dealt
WITH and there can never be a good
excuse for ruthlessly taking it,
