TRESP4SSING on RAILROADS.

Comment, not favorable to this coun-
try. was recently made upon the vastly
greater number of casualties through
railroad accidents in the United States
than in Great Britain. despite the much
greater number of passengers carried i'll
the latter country. A similar contrast
greatly 10 our discradit, is presented in
the statistics of persons killed or in
jured on railroads not through accidents
To- trains. but while they were trcspass-
ing on the rails
In Great Britain. as is well known.
railroads are generally fenced in so as
TO make trespassiDg less easy, Never
theless many persons do get upon the
lines, and in the year 1907 no fewer
than 2IS were killed and 10 injured
from that cause, or more than twice rs
many killed as the number of passen-
gers killed from all other causes That
was heavy roll. But it was insignifi-
cant when contrasted with the CORE
spending roll in the United States. For
here in that same year no fewer than
5,Gl2 persons were killed while thus tres
passing, or more than fifteen Il day. IL
ten years the number thus killed was
47,416, while n still larger number were
more or less seriously injured. The vic
tins are not only tramps, who notorious
ly trespass on railroads, but also work
ingmen and their wives and children aud
all sorts of people, who often consider Il
railroad convenient short cut to
their destinations.

were TO be blamed for them. when I'm
fact the companies not only are not at

prevent trespassing and to protect tres
passers from their folly Thus the Penn

no fewer than 9l5 trespassers were

There is something to be said in sup
port of the theory of the Chicago Jury
copmissioners that walters and others
who live largely through accepting
tips" are not desirable jurors. The
habit of mind which is almost inevitably
ins2parable from the cultivation of such
sources of income may be held not TO
comport with just judgment The waiter
who discriminates among those whom he
serves, according to their giving of
