COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH
LIFTS SMALL POX LID

The County Board of Health yes
tcrday rescinded that part Of its or
der bearing on the smallpox situa-
tion in the county in regard to pie
uics and public gatherings, as there
is now little or no danger Of the
further spread of the disease. We
understand that the Flat River city
board of health will take of the lid
also as to public gatherings, but of
course the few cases of smallpox
still remaining will he strictly quar-
antined. The malady has about run
its course, and in short time will
have disappeared altogether. The
cases, while quite numerous, have
all been of a mild character, and we
have not heard OF Il single death from
the disease.

THE THIRD STAGE IN RAILROAD
DEVEI. .OPMENT.

The Sun has taken the position
long since that more important than
reduction Of freight rates and rail-
road fares is the matter Of safety of
travel. which can be insured only by
the adoption Of the block system, all
the latest mechanical substitutes for
falllble human memories and fingers
of overworked or careless employees;
double tracking, the abolishment of
the grade crossing and the electri-
fication of terminals. In the aggre-
gate millions of dollars can be
computed as the difference between
one rate and other; but in their con
sequence to the individual shipper
they may represent the difference of
a few cents or a few dollars in a
year. The difference of one cent a
the same thing. resolved down to the
individual interest each traveller has
in the matter.
Rates now are cheaper in this
country than in Europe. but THE
DANGER OF TRAVEL is IN
FINITELY GREATER. There's the
rub. OF how much concern 10 the
individual are few cents or few
dollars, when his life is at stake?
We have no less authority than
that OF W. L. Park. vice president of
the Illinois Central system, to cor
rdborate us, when he attributes the
fearful loss of life by railroad aeci-
dents to inadequate facilities for the
protection of human life. Making
all due allowance for the human
failing of selflshness, the interstate
commerce commission has we'll re-

elimination between points. and

ayers in the adoption safeguards for
the protection of human life, we
shall be satisfied.
Our troubles with common car
riers today are due more to ignor-
ance and laxity of the public and the
government than to any monstrous
or abnormal physical or mental de-
velopment Of people engaged in rail-
roading. They are of Ike nature
with ourselves. In the days when
we were eager to span the continent
with railroads. we made extraordi-
nary concessions to railroad promo
ters, and gave away valuable lands
there seemed no end to our pos
sessions. Later, operating under
these same concessions. the exten-
sions abated, and then came a
period OF consolidation. That pro

railroad credit, the watering OF stock
