to the cause was the detection and

for the presidency. But after all. con-
siderable as were his efforts. never

A NEW ERA.

here was surprisingly gratifying
Richmond has demonstrated that when
she chooses she can be a delightful
hostess. The committees in charge of
decoration and entertainment deserve
great commentator and congratula-
ton for their unsilfish, painstaking eff
forts and their boundless enthusiasm.
Richmond's citizens, too, came out
with their flags and bunting so that
many remarked that though we may
once or twice have had more expens-
i've decoration we have never had such
a general answer to the call.
This We consider typical of the
whole affair, that it was the people

coined our guests. And this, too, we
consider the best thing about it. 1t

had the town opened its gates so hos

the progressive farmer (if he has not
already a motor carr will soon invest

be less antagonism between all travel

the other. The automobilist will be
more careful and the farmer less bit

RAILROAD CASUALTIES.

The interstate commerce commits
sion reports that during the first quar-
ter of this year 728 passengers and
employees were killed and 14,713 in
jured on American railroads. This rec
ord is bad enough, but it is the least
sanguinary the roads have made in
three years.
There would be more cause for con-
graduation over the decrease in
deaths and injuries if it could be
proved that it was owing to additional
precautions taken by railroad manag-
ers and to the greater carefulness of
employees. Such pleasing explana-
ton is impossible. No doubt there has
been some improvement in both those
directions, but the chief reason for the
better showing is the falling off in
freight and passenger traffic which
came on the heels Of the panic. Dur
ing the earlier part of last year the
roads made desperate attempts to
handle the business thrust upon them.
| They made every effort to push their
freight trains along. Several acct
dents, with considerable loss of life,
were directly due to the exertions
made to keep freight moving. The en-
forced idleness of from 100000 to
;-h tn tah laI fn a
reduction in the INlmber of injuries to
passengers and employees, particularly
the latter. They are the men who fig
ure conspicuously in the lists of dead
and wounded.
The revival of business and the re-
turn to service of idle cars should not
be accompanied by an increase in
those casualties which are disgrace
to railroading in America. Most of
them are preventable, being due either
to poor equipment or to the lack of
discipline and excessive recklessness
of employees. They are continually
hazarding their own lives and those of
others. 1t is shameful that during the
three months of comparative railroad
inactivity which began the year there
should have been so many casualties.
There would not have been half SO
many if railroad managers and the
great and powerful railroad labor or.
CARNATIONS had given serious thought
to the prevention Of accidents.

PRIVATE PROPERTY
VS.. THE PARK.

The city attorney has become very
considerable. almost affectionate in
his espousal of the cause of private
property owners in certain localities.
while in other parts of the city
where individual rights are equally
evident he does not attempt to offer
any means by which they may escape
this dire calamity which now threat.
ems them in the shape of freight cars
passing in front of their houses.
While l do not for one moment
agree with him regarding damage to
private property, allow me for the
present to assume that his views arc
correct, then why this unjust dis
criminationg Why should he seek TO
make fishes of the residents of one
section of the city and fowls OF the
residents of other sections?
The damage to property owners on
East Main and Twentieth streets can
not possibly be any greater than the
damage to property owners on North
e and Fifth streets.
But his thinly sugar coated argu-
ment is to the effect that he desires
to damage as few as possible.
Now I contend that it is just as
great a crime to injure one person as
1t is to injure twenty and think the
attorneys legal knowledge will up
hold this opinion, and / further con-
tend that the additional freight serv-
ice over tracks now operated upon
, will not damage a single individual
to the amount of one penny.
l positively know that the board of
public works has the power to grant
the traction company the right to
operate freight cars on North TWEEN
tieth street, notwithstanding the fact
that the city attorney so strenuously
adheres to the contrary.
Now as to the mutilation OF. the
park, our worthy attorney seerns to
have climbed over the fence. al IL
were. and instead of endeavoring to
damage few people. decides to infiict
inestimable damage upon the whole
people, though still bearing in mind
the private interests Of the favored
few.
While the park is public property
and owned by the whole people there
is no evading the fact that the main
tenance of freight route through
it will damage each and every individ-
ual to fra greater extent. than will
the passing OF freight cars. before his
door. And / firmly believe that n
the city attorney and board of public
works would throw off their official
robes, go out and view this disfigure.
ment in the light of public spirited
citizens, they would experience q
change Of heart, and say this work
must stop. Twentieth street is the

BOILED WATER.

Some time ago the Ladies Home
Journal published advice in answer
to inquiry which gave the opinion that
boiling water was unsafe because it
did not kill all the bacteria which it
might contain. He goes on to say that
Ordinary boiled water is liable to
cause numerous, severe and often
dangerous stomach maladies."
Mr.. Box, that omniscient man who
discourses on most subjects pertain
ing to this and other worlds with
equal fluency, has shown poor logic
and has said some things which will
prove dangerous to his million or two
of constant readers. We doubt how.

We in Indiana have many things to
be proud of. One of these things is
our record during the Civil War. To
no man more than to Oliver Perry
Morton does the state and the country
owe it's thanks for that record.
The Great War Governor who not
only saved the state. but the Union
has been dead for over a quarter of a
century but every Indianian and every
American should think of him when

ence to the man who was born many
years ago in this same month.

else but the birth place Of Morton it

IMMIGRANTS AND THE FARM.

Between the first of February and
the last of June nearly 1000 aliens
were located upon farms through fed
eral aid. The number is not large.
But the significance of the movement
cannot be underestimate.
One of the difficulties connected
with immigration has been that new
corners who have lived upon farms
have been herding together in the con-
gested quarters of large cities. Unfa-
miliar with city life and unable to
adapt themselves to the changed en-
vironment, their lot has been anything
but enviable.
To secure a wiser distribution of the
incoming aliens has been the aim Of
the division of information Of the bu-
reau of immigration and naturaliza-
ton. Nearly a million double postal
cards of inquiry have been sent out to
various parts of the country. AS a
result immigrants from twenty-six ma
tionalities have been located as help
ers on farms.
Thirty-one states are represented in
the first report, Vermont leading with
227 assignments. Delaware, Indiana.
South Dakota and West Virginia have
received one each, Massachusetts,
Montana and North Carolina two each,
with other states varying from three
to 1S1.
These results are not striking. 1t
is the possibilities in the plan which
commend it to further experiment.
The division will push the canvass
vigorously from this time on. Millions
of inquiries will be sent out. Returns
may be SLOW But there is reason for
hope that future accomplishments
will be notable. There has been al
most no attempt to direct immigrants
wisely. They have been left to work
out their own destiny. Intelligent &C
tivity along this line may go far to-
ward settling one of the most import
ant of American problems. The re-
suits thus far attained are full of en-
couragement.

ever IL his word will be taken as
against that of the whole medical pro-
fession throughout the world.
Mr.. Boks main contention briefly
is that 212 degrees Of heat will not
kill all the germs of disease. He
shows either ignorance or omission OF
the fact that PIP degrees is absolutely
fatal to the bacilli of typhoid and dys-
EMERY and that the minute residue OF
other organisms find little opportunity
for development in the alimentary
canal.
Mr.. Box might pursue the same rea-
soning and say that the fire proofing
of buildings was dangerous because
it did not always keep the fire from
breaking out: that because law did
not prevent all crime, law was danger
Gus. if we followed his processes of
reasoning we could argue that his
present lapse from truth and common
sense would be sufficient cause for
his losing his millions of readers.
No. Boiling water does kill the
most dangerous Of the germs and it
is the simplest and most effectual
preventive. We are sure that the peo-
pie of the country will not be misled
by the National Chiffonier of Pink
Teas in its folly against the teachings
of the medical profession, from the
great Scientist Louis Pasteur down to
the humblest of health officers and
country practitioners.

manufacturers merely wanted to de-
monstrate to the farmer that they
could live up to their advertisements.
But Richmond proved Saturday that
she was above all idea of bringing
in the people for any selfish motive.
Therein she will build her surest foun-
dation for increased trade.
Therefore we congratulate every
body connected with the occasion.
We hope it marks a new epoch in civ
ic affairs and enthusiasm. This has
been a noteworthy occasion and it is
only fair to give it its due.

In his campaign, Morton was one OF
the first to declare that the impend-
ing action OF South Carolina and her
neighboring states should be met
with force in event of their secession.
Lincoln, Lane and Morton were
elected.
Morton made a speech in the
court house yard in Indianapolis in
which he declared: Better concede
independence TO force than TO right,
and, Better be defeated in arms, than
concede principles that will explode
the nations into fragments" This
was on the eve of Carolina's secession.
Indiana was divided strongly on the
proposition. but the firm stand OF
