RAILROADS AND REPORTERS.
i 1.-The Pennsylvania management
announces that it will give TO the
public, through the newspapers.
prompt and accurate information
concerning any accidents which may
occur on its lines. Whenever an ac-
cident happens a statement giving all
essential facts will be made public
by the company at its general Offices,
in either Philadelphia or Pittsburgh,
according to whether the wreck is on
the lines east or west of Pittsburgh.
Such statements will also be given
cut at Offices of division superintend-
ents where inquiry is likely to be
made"
That il the most sensible regula-
ton, from newspaper mans point
OF view, ever suggested by rail-
road.
When a wreck occurs il is obvious
that the information will leak out,
and that the friends of travellers will
be anxious to hear about them. II is
equally obvious that newspapers will
exert every effort to acquire and dis
seminate that Information. Now, IL
the railroads close up every legiti-
mate news channel. the newspapers
will get the information me best way
they can, and in their anxiety not to
miss any features. reporters will use
every report they hear, regardless OF
the reliability of its source. The re-
suit often is that the wreck is first
reported worse than 1t really is, the
railroad comes in for much needless
notoriety and criticism and at last
the officials are compelled in self-de-
tense to give out the information
they withheld from the newspapers
in the first place.
There is only one condition neces-
sarily attaching to the Pennsylvania
proposition, and that is that it be
frank in its statements TO the press,
and not to try to hold anything back
the public is entitled to know. When
person says to an ambitious news
paper reporter, who has not COM
pletely covered his story, That's all
you reed to know, and that's all you
will find out" he has succeeded only
in daring the reporter to learn more.
and usually the reporter does in his
own way. and takes much delight in
playing up" the part he was told he
could not find out.
The man. who acts on the level
with the newspaper reporter, gets the
best treatment.

When statistic shows that 40 per
cent OF the people, on whom autOp-
sizes have been held show symptoms
OF some form of tuberculosis; that
three per cent of the deaths in Padu-
cab last year were due to one single
form of tuberculosis: that the dis
ease is contagious, but preventable
by the exercise of simple precautions,
and that II is invariably fatal when
once its course is well settled, it
would seem that human intelligence
would manifest the same alertness as
the animal instinct of sef-preserva-
ton, In learning and exercising those
precautions. Must We be victims of
our own neglect to furnish an OK
