swITcHMAN MEETS DEATH
Broken Rail Wrecks an Engine and
One Man is Killed and Four 9th
ers Are Injured.

A broken rail on the Minneapolis
and St. Louis road few miles south
OF Fort Dodge caused a switch engine
to plunge down an embankment.
Switchman Scott was instantly killed
and Engineer Charles Shook and
three others were badly injured.
Engineer Charles Shook and Fire
man Ross Juttman had just helped
the long southbound train out of the
city and over steep grade near the
Des Moines river and were returning
to the yards with light engine and
three men aboard. The shock of
striking the broken rail broke the ten
der loose and threw Switchman Scott
under the falling tender.
: The engine stopped ten feet from
the river, while the tender remained
parallel with the track farther up the
bank
Other lives might have been added
to the list of casualties but for the
bravery of Floyd White. one of the
men aboard, who upon returning to
consciousness, remembered that an
extra from the south was due at that
moment. He dragged himself limp
Ing along the track and signalled the
train as it rounded sharp curve.

He turned away to the pinnacle. In

the lawless, almost piratical character
OF the man, In that moment could not

from the audience and answered by
Mr.. Bryan. These questions and an.

@. Is it wise for public man like
President Roosevelt or yourself to use
such term as predatory wealth"
thereby stigmatizing a class?
A. answer in the affirmative.
When you say that predatory wealth

the president or any other man, stig,

(Applause.)
Q. Is it right to tax the people and
lend the money thus obtained to in.
dividuals or to private corporations in
any form of subsidy?
A. This asks question that can
not be answered in word. What we
call subsidy believe wrong; and yet

stances should government lend
money, raised by taxation. / believe

Q. If the tariff should be revised
and the United States should allow
free trade, would not the country be
flooded with foreign goods, and our
country's industries suffer?
A. No one is advocating free trade
and no revision that is advocated
could by any possibility flood this
country with foreign goods to the det-
riment of this country; and the peo-
pie who are now selling abroad in
competition with the world could put
q restraint upon the flood by selling at
home as cheaply as they sell abroad.

But my answer. is this: All questions
of this kind must be considered from
two standpoints: First, the temporary
remedy and second, the permanent
remedy. / will not admit that any
man In this country should be allowed
to starve to death, no matter how care.
less he may have been in not provid.
Ing for the future. But while We must
make temporary provision for the ne.
cessities of those who actually suffer,
We must make permanent provision
against the recurrence of such condi.
tiens, and the best way to prevent a
recurrence of these conditions, Is to
change the laws by which a few men
have been able to secure an unfair pro.
portion of the results of the toll of all
the people. Great and prolonged ap-
plause.) There is no dificulty in this
country about production. We produce
and consume something like three
times the amount per capita produced
or consumed by any other people. The
trouble is with the distribution, and
I believe that the way to reach the diff.
ficulty is to withdraw privileges and
fayoritism, and to enact laws that will
secure an open door to every mans
labor and reward for his toll.
@. Mr.. Bryan, do you stand for i'm.

party in SO standing?
