To Protect the Men

The Ell Paso Time calls atten.
tion to the fact that there used to be
a law against wearing false teeth,
The law was also sweeping in its
prohibition of some other articles
now common enough. 1t was a
British law, passed by parliament
in 1870, and seemed to be directed
against the women, as follows;
"That all women of whatever
age, rank, profession or degree,
whether virgins, maids, or widows,
that shall from and after the pass,
ing of this act, impose upon, seduce,
and betray into matrimony any of
his majesty's subjects, by scents,
paints, cosmetics, washes, artificial
teeth, false hair, Spanish wool,
iron stays, hoops or high-beeled d
shoes, shall incur the penalty OF
the laws now in force against
witchcrait, sOrcery and such like
misdemeanOrs, and that the mar
riage, upon conviction, shall stand
null and void"

the petty officers, privates, and
sailors would look on their officers
as their worst enemies, they would
become disloyal, faithless in the
discharge of their duty, and in.
efficient in guarding the interests
intrusted to them.
The army of railroad employees
is in a dem oralized condition, and
as results show, is inefficient in
safeguarding life and property in
trusted to it, What is the remedy?
Simply that If our employees once
realize that the responsibility for
the discredit now resting on the
operation of American railroads is
not one which can be placed en-
tirely on their officers, but that
they themselves must assume a
large share of it, joint effort and
cordial cooperation to remove the
load of joint discredit must nee
essarily follow.
And how is this realization of
responsibility to be brought home
to the employees? By the help of
the public; by the force OF their
opinion. 1t must discriminate be-
tween the bad and the good in
passing judgment on corporations
and their officers. Wholesale dis
loyalty in the industrial army
serving them. The unnatural and
hostile conditions that have re.
suited from the attitude of the
press and the public toward cor
porations must be replaced by
peace and cooperation; and while
not abating its condemnation of
abuses or relaxing its determine
tion to correct them, it must in the
exercise Of Its determination give
the support of It's all-powerful
opinion to the earnest efforts of
railroads to improve discipline, in
crease safety, and generally raise
the standard of service.

South ern Pacific
Instruction Car

Inc OOuUneTn IaclHC is Operat
ing an instruction car over the en-
tire route Of its Pacific System
being in charge of corps of ex
pert lecturers, for the purpose O.
explaining to employees more thor
oughly the theory and practice o.
railroading, particularly in its re
lation to accidents.
The Hartman Lines have spen
several million dollars for improv
ed block signal safety systems il
the last few years, and indeed the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
have more mileage protected by
the latest improved block systems
than any other three large railway
systems of the country combined
With these devices comes the ne
cessity for increased education Of
the man, and the company, through
a travelling school, is endeavorine
to help them gain the necessary
instruction.
The car is in charge of w
Nichols, who is lecturer for the de-
partment of instruction for dis.
patchers. With him are associ
ated w. II. Pitts, of Oakland, and
J. S. Moore, of Fresno, who in
struct the engineers.
The instruction is organized as
carefully as a college course. The
car has completely equipped
school room, in which the lectur-
ers hold forth to yard men and all
employees who come in contact
with the operation of trains.
At the lecturers desk is min.
iature block system, by means of
which the "pupils" can be graph.
cally shown the operation of this
wonderful system in minutest de-
tail.
Behind are charts illustrating
change of time table, and black
boards showing tabulated systems
with rules governing changes in
all kinds of trains, and orders for
trains by telegraph.
The instruction carries with it
its board of examiners to instruct
employees at every division as to
the standard runs for operating
trains.
Between stations, where there
are yard crews, the car runs as
an extra, stopping at each station
to examine and instruct railroad
telegraph operators.
AS the lectures are open to all,
it provides brakemen with in
structions for engineers, far IN ad-
vance of their regular examina-
tions for protection.
The car is now on the coast
division and has, since last Octo-
Der, covered the entire system. 1t
will be five more weeks on the
trip, completing it about August
3lst, the last three weeks be,
ing spent in San Francisco. The
car is run as an extra, stopping al
each station to examine and in
struct railroad telegraph oper'
ators, and at yard terminals the
school sessions are held in the
forenoon and afternoon.
This work is entirely in addl
tion to the ordinary examination
given employees before they enter
the service, while the pupils
chief interest is in tho fact tha, il
makes the men more competent
through advanced knowledge
Yet 1t has great interest for the
men also in that it enables those
desirous of increasing their knowl
edge and betteriug themselves to
gain capacity and therefore stand
better chance to gain in position
