The Dangerous Thing.

A short time ago newspaper dispatch
related that citizen OF Portland, Ore,
being in a bibulous condition at a. nj.
and therefore afraid to 90 home in the
dark. went out and reclined on spur
track in the yards Of one Of the rail-
ways. He had Just got comfortably
asleep on his hard bed. when a switch
engine kicked" some box cars on the
spur he had chosen as a lodging, and
he was killed.
IT is something out Of the ordinary for
people To choose the tracks OF yards Of
railroads as lodgings. And yet the Incl.
dent was not so very exceptional For
nothing * more common in this country
than for people to trespass on railway
property in diverse ways and 10 be
killed while doing so. The other day the
president Of railway and leading
merchant were lnnching together at a
club ID Chicago, Various railway mat
tiers were being talked about.
After all" said the president, "the
worst Indictment against railways of
the United States is contained in the an
nual statistics Of accidents There is
tHttAAA HuA fHitE ry AAtECtDuH an iidRtAr
ing on On American railway"
"Oh. yes, there III" answered the rail-
way president. aThere II something a
great deal more dangerous. That is
trespassing on railways property. IF
1 remember correctly. there are oven ten
people killed while trespassing on the
property Of American railways to one
that il killed while riding on the trains"
The merchant thought this could not
be correct, The newspapers, he re-
marked. were constantly killed with har.
rowing stories Of wrecks in which M.
merous travellers lost their lives The
railway president replied that in order
to enable the merchant TO substitute
exact information for vague impressions
he would send him a table showing the
of persons killed on railways
while travelling and while trespassing
for five years The table which he sent
was as follows.

SMOKE IS HEALTHY.
1t Kills the Germs. So Declares Coal
Magnate W.P. Rend.

Chicago. April 16.-Smoke is a
blessing to the world and a boon to
health, according to a statement by
W. P. Rend, coal magnate, in reply to
an address by Secretary F. r. Pritch-
ard of the board of health declaring it
a nuisance.
This talk about smoke being a
curse is all nonsense" Mr.. Rend de-
c1ares. 1.-The Creator who made coal
knew that there would be smoke and
knew that smoke would be a good
thing for the world.
Take the coal operator, who is at
all times breathing not only smoke,
but coal dust in addition. His lungs
are black with both, and yet he is one
of the healthiest men in the world. In
all my experience among coal opera

tuberculosis.

kind of disease and purif1es the air.

WILL TRY 1T AGAIN.
Women Suffragists Not Disheartened
by Reverses in Kansas.

1t is very apparent that the women
suffragists have not given up their
fight for the rights of their sex just
because the last legislature blockaded
their onward course without passing
any laws in their favor. From all over
the state they are working as hard as
ever--if not in an active manner in
a spirited manner. The next iegisla-
ture will be asked to submit the ques-
ton.
Mrs. Hiatt Brown, 1923 Clay street
who is one of the leaders in the cause,
has the following to say concerning
the present situation:
THE good mothers and good house
keepers 90 not lose any of their
womanly womanliness by standing up
for their rights as citizens. Women
as mothers, as homekeepers are the
guiding lights of our children. As no
true man loses his manliness by cast
ing his vote on the right side, no wom-
an can lose her womanhood or wom-
anliness by casting her vote for the
man she thinks will work for better
homes. better laws, better schools
cleaner cities, and wholesome clothes
and food. IT'S not the weak, frivol-
Gus society bellies who are seeking the
ballots. Many of these people would
not keep a clean respectable home if
they had it. But to the broad minded
club women, the good mothers and
good homekeepers-they see the need

feat, the rooters sought an excuse and
found a good one, they thought when it
became generally known from where

sprung in yesterdays game is expected
to attract another record breaking
