or a broken rail is In sight. Instead,
train after train runs past without re-
duction, provided the track looks clear.
It should not make particle of differ

was clear or not; he simply has to fol-
low his instructions.

There ara times when the spirit Of
the law includes the letter; when indl-
vidual Judgment has no place in action.
However broad principle may be, its
practical value Is destroyed unless It Is
applied by the individual and demon
strated by him. ]. O. Pagan, writing
In the Atlantic Monthly on THE Comics
sions Of a Railroad Signalman," Illus
trates this truth, and speaking as a
railroad. man, places much Of the re-
sponsibility for railway disaster upon
the disregard of essential regulations.
AS far as speed and comfort go, there
is little to be asked for In railroad
service. But when we take into ac-
count the human lives which have paid
toll to the American system, we cam
not avoid the conclusion that something
Is wrong fundamentally. The popular
discussions in regard to block, signals,
tried employees and faulty rules are
endless and fruitless. Investigations
and penalties are in effect secret, and
the world remains in ignorance. It is
the men who know the details Of .-ail-
road life, the men who pull the signals
ard handle the trains, who must be
heard from.
The significant facts In accidents are
the personal conduct of employees, and
not the nature Of signals or the word
ing Of rules. Most OF the trouble can
be traced to us railroad men, to our
own personal behavior as railroad men.
There is rule that freight train
nrst not leave station to follow a
passenger train until five minutes after
the departure Of the passenger train.
TIL, seems plain and positive, yet no
attention whatever Is paid to 1t by The
engineers, conductors or superintend-
ents and its violation Is the cause Of
much loss of life. The fault lies not
in the rule, but in downright neglect
on the part of the men to do as they
are told
4 flagman protects train to the very
letter Of the rule when 1t is manifestly
necessary, but when, in his opinion, 1t
Is not, he takes the chances. If an en-
gineer encounters single torpedo, the
rule calls for full stop. If he hap
pens to have Il clear track for q mile
or so ahead he keeps on. and some day
he finds that his judgment was at
fault.

attitude of the moderates towards the
Jewish question is no hostile one.
