BAIL FATALITIES DECREASE.

Statistics of the interstate COM
lnerce commissions on railway fatalities
in 1908 as compared with the previous
year show a considerable decrease,
which speaks we'll for the cautionsness
of the roads in running trains and pro-
viding improved facilities for the pro-
lection of passengers and employees.
The report of the commission shows a
decrease of 1892 fatalities in 1908 as
against the year before. A 40 per cent
decrease in fatal accidents is shown by
the commissions report.
OF the fatalities recorded, 119 pass
engers and 4s1 employees of the roads
We're killed in accidents. to trains,
largely collisions and derailments.
These figures show a reduction of 10
and 81 per cent, respectively. COM
pared with the year previous. AS
against these deaths by accident the
comparison of fatalities on the Eng
fish roads are interesting. British rail-
roads finished the year 1908 with a
record of only six fatalities to en-
pioyes and without killing a passenger
in train accidents. However. in the
United States there are 100000 miles of
railroad as compared with %, 1OS miles
in the united kingdom. Records of one
single American Dad with over $4,000
miles of tracks show that not a single
death to any one of it's passengers re-
suited from an accident.

THE "RETIReD" MAN,

An Iowa preacher who took 1t upon
himself to tongue-lash the retired
farmer before a city audience is hear
ing from the country districts. The far
mers have been getting back at him
thru the public prints and have much
the best of it. The facts are with the
farmers. The retired farmer is not a
parish and an outcast.
1t is common to call the retired far
mer a tiglltwad and assert that enough
of them will kill a town. Generally he
is opposed to Improvement that will
increase taxation or oblige him TO
spend much money. The retired far
mer as a usual thing is not a rich
man. If he came from a half-section
ne mas land worth between 100000 and
$4,000 if he is in the best farming
section of Iowa. 1t may bring him in
between $500 and $500 gross income
at cash rent and out of that he must
Improve the farm, pay taxes, and live.
Naturally he finds that if he is to be
IN the forefront OF improvement he
must go back to active work from
which he had retired after years Of
toll. And he hangs back.
But does he hang back harder than
the retired banker of man of
any business? Compare his in
come and his wealth With
those of other men who have quit work
to live on what they have earned
Isn't 1T true that the city man whose
Income is five times that of the far
mel is a bigger hog in retirement than
the farmer? Isn't he likely to oppose
Improvement, get in the way of pro-
gross until men remark TO Zach other
there will be nothing doing until Old
Blank dies and his money is divided?
The, fact is that the man who has
retired is not trying To keep up with
the procession. It's too much effort.
That is why he retired. Most men
dream of a time when with enough to
keep" them they can retire and laugh
IN the face of dull care. They are GO
ang to quit. Tired as they are it seems
to them that simply 10 get UP in the
morning with nothing 70 do and have
all the days for spending money" will
be joy beyond measure. But it isn't
true. Retirement pals. The retired nan
falls out of step with progress. He has
done his hustling. He proposes tc
eaunter. He does saunter but makes
hard work of idleness. The retired mer
are laggards in Improvement. They
stopped to rest and the others went or
and left them.
Retirement is a confession of ap.
preaching old age. When the mar
