The Cause and The Cure Of
Railroad Accidents.

1.-The cause OF railroad accidents
lies In the fact. which cannot be de-
MED. that the efficiency OF railroad
employees has deteriorated IN the
past few years" says Julius Krutt-
schnitt. In Appleton's for July. And
this deterioration cannot be compan-
stated. A railroad is much more de-
pendent upon its human than upon
its material equipment for safe and
efficient operation. No matter how
generously every material equipment
is provided. how lavtshly capital Is
expended for Improvement OF road
bed additional side tracks, terminals.
safety devices, and the like. the out
lay Is useless unless the road Is ef-
ficiently manned. II is therefore al.
together regrettabie that the attitude
OF our employees has been changed.
That II has been changed from 10y
atty, and consideration TO indifference
II not to disloyalty, no observer will
deny. And the influence which has
brought about this change is unQues-
tionably the present state of public
opinion which condemns all corpora
tons Unfortunately.
THE army of railroad employees Is
In a demoralized condition. and. as
results show, Is inefficient in safe
guarding life and property intrusted
TO IT, What Is the remedy? Simply
that IL our employees once realize that
the responsibility for the discredit
now resting upon the operation OF
American railroads Is not one which
can be placed entirely on their Of
ficers, but that they themselves must
assume a large share OF II. joint eff
fort and cordial cooperation TO re-
move the load OF joint discredit must

This spring season has been. re
markable for high winds. Those who
live on seacoasts realize the fact
more keenly than city denizens.
Whenever the combination OF wind
and waves makes splendid pictures
for the eye and orchestral music rOT
the ear, one with any imagination
must think OF the peril which attends
the lives OF thousands OF men whose
occupation Is with the sea.
There is comparatively little danger
connected with our great ocean lin
ers; no more than with our railroad
, systems, and not as much as is 10 De
encountered in any automobile drive
| with the average mechanic at the
wheel
But the sea Is traversed continually
| by small vessels, craft which bring
and carry merchandise: sailing YES
sells do an active business on the sea,
and whaling ships still go forth To
dangerous battle with the monsters of
the deep.
Besides these men, whose mark II
Is TO live upon the ocean az all times
OF year and face all kinds of weather,
there Is the large organization of life
savers composed Of the brayest, most
daring and self-sacrificins men of the
world for there is no other element
so terrible to encounter as an angry
sea.
Almost Daily They Face Death.
II IL only now and then we read Of
what these men do; but where one
great occasion makes public their
splendid courage In saving the lives
imperilled by some notable situation
OF danger, there are hundreds OF oc'
casions arising every week where
these heroes run the risk OF death,
because OF seeming danger 10 one un-
known individual. or the possible
peril of a small craft.

the life savers live breaks down their
