An Automatic cut-of Needed

Ii is painfully apparent that until some
reliable method is devised and adopted of
automatically stopping railway trains
when they enter prohibited" blocks, or
in other words run within the danger zone
wrecks will continue TO occur. No re-
lance can be placed by the public in the
punitive processes of the law to serve as
d deterrent from criminal carelessness on
the part of railway employees for the
prime reason that it is practically impos-
sibie to fasten guilt upon the right person
when judicial proceedings follow disasters
The failure OF the law to reach the
guilty in the case of the Terra Gotta
wreck remains sharply in the minds of
Washingtonians. Philadelphians have now
An almost similar instance, in the verdict
of coroners jury placing upon a dead
engineer the blame for collision be-
tween regular and special train near
that city short time ago. This verdict
was rendered notwithstanding the sub
mission of evidence which served to place
the blame upon those higher up in the
organization.
One of the witnesses on the stand. the
conductor of the special train that was
struck by a freight. testified in terms
which make interesting reading for the
people of this city. He said:
Il have been a conductor for eighteen
years and / say that special tram

young. vigorous man. in full health and
with abundant time to do all the days

ran to his de ath. This is only one of
numerous instances of fatal hurry. What
is the use? The man who runs after
car TO save, perhaps five minutes
wait is more than likely before the day
is over to waste an hour at some frivolous
pastime. 1t is the raresl of exceptions
to find d man whose minutes are literally
so precious that he must cut the corners
at every turn and dash headlong for the
cars and boats and otherwise transform
life into a horror of haste.
One of the greatest troubles of the
times is that few people manage to or
ganiZe their days properly Children
might profitably be taught Time in
the schools, taught TO regard it as OPP
portunty and to respect it as SUCH Great
results for the material uplift of the
community might be scored if this were

young the grave Importance of. doing
things when occasion demands and per-
mits, and not when necessity cOmpels.
Postponemen is the twin brother of
foolish haste. Perhaps it is rather the
parent. The man who grows into the
habit of putting off doing things until
the last moment must run for the cars
in order to get to his next point in
time. He sees his time frittered away
with trifes and in idle talk and no re-
suits accomplished. and literally at the
last tick of the clock he dashes to make
connections. He belongs TO the large
class who contribute chiefly to the acct
den. roll at the hospitals.

ularly scheduled train. The special went
no faster than the scheduled trains run.
During all my experience a freight con-
ductor | never allowed my train to stay
on track ahead of train of higher
speed. Nobody on the special knew where
the freight was. 1t might have been at
Holmes siding. six miles from FELTON,.
WilliamsOn's last words to me were, i got
the white light at Twin Oaks -
One witness testified that it was an easy
matter for an engineer coming along at
sixty miles an hour to mistake a white
for a green lamp. especially on the night
of the wreck. when it was very foggy.
1t was furthermore brought out that the
dead engineer running the special freight.
was only short time ahead of a regular
passenger train and had to make sharp
time to keep out of it's way.
Here are bad dispatching and unreliable
signals. Here also is the grave evil of
using the same tracks for passenger and
freight business, with special passenger
and special freight trains sandwiched in
between the regular units OF the service.
These additions to the schedule, together
with the fog of the night, contributed to
the disaster with results that were fatal
to the crew of the rear locomotive.
The automatic cutoff system must come

way of the development of such a sys-
tenn as will surely safeguard the public.

Silent Warfare.

After smokeless powder naturally comes
noiseless firearms The sequence is logical
and there should be no surprise that 1T
has been accomplished. The United
States patent office having vouched for
the invention of gun that will not make
report on being fired. silent warfare may
now be expected. 1t is to be hoped that
there will be no Impotence for a conflict
to test the efficacy of the newly devised
system of reports.
In the works of few highly magma
tive novelists there have been pictures OF
over doomed cities and launching silent
projectiles upon the buildings and people.
This idea of quiet destructiveness has
evidently fascinated the story tellers. 1t
would seem to be the ideal of combat, as
far removed as possible from the terrific
am of the warfare of the present and
the past.
Imagine the horrors of silent war! 1t is
far more shocking, appalling possibility
than the present crash of arms, even
without smoke. From thickets and from
behind earth screens will pour deadly vol
leys upon unsuspecting 'enemies. Men
will fall without even the warning to their
fellows of the presence of an enemy.
Down they will drop and nowhere will
there be token of the assailants. Can
human nerves withstand such a strain?
Courage in warfare is said to be a mat
ter of getting used to the din and over
coming the tremendous sense of personal
ity created by the first thought of physical
danger The truly brave soldier puts
aside all idea of his individual safety,
save to the extent that his safety is an
element of strength to his own side. But
he asks to know where the enemy lies
He seeks merely to face the foe. There
is nothing more demoralizing than the
swift rush of hidden force from ambush,
or the unexpected volley from a masked
battery or trench. 1t has always been the
aim of the great strategsts to throw
their opponents into confusion by such
sudden. unlooked-for attacks. Often an
inferior force has gained great ad-
vantage and won a victory through such
a maneuver.
With all the sounds of powder explosion
terrifying condition than ever before.
Khaki uniforms and khaki-tinted gun car
riages and possibly khaki-daubed horses
will limit the visibility of force to a
small point. There will be no smoke, and
no noise. Silent. secret, mysterious. the
death force will sweep the field. A new
race of soldiers must be evolved to meet
such conditions
Perhaps this is to be welcomed by those
who hope for the establishment of uni
versal peace. 1t has long been doctrine
of many that only through making war
fare more terrible would it ever be abol-
ished. With the submarine boat and the
dirigible torpedo and the floating and
fixed mine and possibly the aeroplane for
naval destructiyeness and with silent and
smokeless weapons and almost invisible
forces for land fighting, truly, the outlook
is gratifying for those who hold to this
doctrine.

We use this caption in no offensive
sense. but In order to quickly get at the
excessive number of public servants the
electors are asked each year in some form
or other to elect 1t is just beginning to
dawn upon people that they are asked to
fill altogether too many offices and are
obliged to bother their heads out of all
proportion to the necessities of the case
in order to keep up political fiction, to
the effect that each and every Office must
be filled by means of the ballot box. If
the movement in this state to tablish a
direct primary system of nominating pub
lie officers serves no other purpose than
to emphasize the absurdity of this fiction
it will not have been begun in vain.
