1T is a sight that gals the dis
patcher or telegrapher to see a
half-baked kid or inexperienced wo-
man hooting over a telephone at
railway station, crudely trying to
handle train orders and having only
Navy ideas of Standard rules and the
dangerous business of running
trains. They take long chances and
put down what it sounds like in
hit-or-miss fashion and it is prob
lem whether the trains will get
safely through. In perfect condition
the phone is all right as an auxili-
airy to the telegraph for message
work, but by itself it is a constant
peril that should be regulated by
law.
Not long ago the Tribune pub
lished a true story of the railroad
telephone system as used on the
Milwaukee between Tacoma and Gle
Elum. The weather was variable
and the phones were out of commits
sion more than half the time. Trains
were tied up all along the line. The
voice was at one moment whisper
and at the next a road, wholly un-
reliable and aggravating to the last
degree. Suddenly there sounded
over the phone a peculiar tumble
Of dots and dashes.' The dispatcher
listened intently and presently fig
ured it out. The operator at Ket-
chelus, a lonely mountain station,
was footing message into the
phone with a high-power cornet
which he kept on hand, presumably
for such emergencies.
THE railroads are discarding the
telegraph as much as possible be-
cause the telephone is 40 per cent
cheaper, though every official, every
telegrapher and every trainman of
experience will testify that the tel
ephone system Is so per cent more
hazardous and unreliable.
ITO still further reduce the ex-
pense of operation, regardless of the
safety of the public, the roads are
installing telephones in boxes out
side the way stations SO that the
night operator may be dispensed
with and requiring the trainmen to
do their own reporting and to han
die their own orders. This is also
dangerous business as every dis
patcher knows. Only the trained
telegrapher is competent to handle
train orders with safety and dis
patch.
"All who will take the trouble to
look into this question will find
these facts established and will sure
ly urge the legislature to prohibit
the use Of the telephone in handling
trains"

VIEW POINTS OF THE PRESS
Poindexter VS.. Wilson.

POindexter VS.. Wilson.
The senatorial campaign in this
state has progressed far enough to
make it fairly plain to the people
at large that the real fight is be-
tween Poindexter of Spokane and
Wilson of Seattle.
Burke seems to have strong finan-
cial backing and lot of personal
friends and corporation friends, but
he is bad third in the race.
HUMPHREYS, Ashton, ct al. are not
taken seriously by the people, al
though they are all in the fight up
to their necks.
Senator Jones has endorsed Will
son. That is the strongest proof
that the owner of the Seattle Post
Intelligencer is favored by the ma
tional standpatters' organization. He
will be the real leader of the Wilson
forces in this part of the state.
All this shows that the regular"
organization is solidly behind Will
son. Now it is certainly up to every
progressive voter in the state OF
Washington to take an active inter
est in this big fight, which already
has caused national interest. II in
dependent voters want an indepen-
dent senator, who represents them
and not the special interests, they
will line up enthusiastically and
steadily behind Spokane's candidate
Wilson has the organization. Poin-
dexter must depend upon the indie
pendent, intelligent action of the vot-
ers at the neutrality-suspicious. Press

Of HAND
LING TRAINS
Veteran Dispatcher ,Ridi-
cules New Train Tele-
phone System.

To justify the expenditure of a
million dollars by the Great North
ern railroad in replacing the tele-
graph with the telephone, to be
used exclusively in handling trains
by the block system, Superintendent
of Telegraph Little gave the Seattle
Times an elaborate interview in
which he expatiates upon the mar
velous utility of the telephone and
it's manifold advantages over the
telegraph.
To one unacqualnted with the
facts, Mr.. Titles essay states the
final word, putting the Morse teie-
graph completely out of business.
To the trained dispatcher and ex-
pert telegrapher, however, who is
probably more experienced than is
Mr.. Little in the actual business of
dispatching trains, both by telegraph
and telephone, the claims made for
the new system are simply ridicu-
lous. A dispatcher of this class, who
has served on almost every one of
the leading railroad systems, and
who never had an accident of any
kind, read Mr.. Little's statement.
threw it down with a gesture of SUI
nrama disdain and said:
"Bosh! Is it possible the public
Is so silly as to swallow such stuff
as that? The railroad officials know
better. Svery telegrapher and tele-
phonist knows the claims that the
telephone is safer, quicker and more
reliable Is utterly absurd. The Mil
waukee dispatchers, who have had
fits over their telephone experience,
can deny Mr.. Titles claims in the
most positive terms. AS matter of
fact, the state legislature ought to
pass a stringent law prohibiting the
use of the telephone in running
trains. For that very important SER
vice, on which the lives of the trav-
cling public depends, the telephone
is extremely cratic, unreliable and
extra hazardous, except under the
most favorable weather conditions,
and even then the human voice is
peculiarly unreliable and fatal
error is liable to be made at any
time.
These are the facts: The rail-
roads are determined to reduce OPP
Grating expenses, and they begin
with this all-important branch of the
service. The telephone is forty per
cent cheaper, though fifty per cent
more dangerous. Women and boys,
of little or no railroad experience,
are hired at starvation wages to OPP
crate the telephone, for wages less
than half of what competent dis
hatcher receives. If the telegraph
operator stays on the job he must
accept the reduced pay, and the
power of this union is likewise
greatly reduced.

If vast tracts of valuable timber
In the northwest keep going up in
smoke every year, the conservation
question as far as timber is concern
ed will be settled without the aid
either of Pinchot or Ballinger. These
fires originate in most instances
through carelessness. The same
class of individuals is largely re-
sponsible for them as belong to the
class of those who didn't know it
was loaded" Campers thoughtless-
ly leave camp fires smouldering or
some man attempts to burn his
clearings without using sufficient
judgment as to conditions and the
fire gets away from him and spreads
to adjoining forests. The state
railway commission is considering
the advisabillty of issuing an order
to railroads to use oil instead of coal
in their engines which traverse
mountainous forest districts. A con-
ference has been called to consider
this step, and various railroad Off
Gals have been invited to meet with
the commission. 1t is not encourage
ing to see millions of dollars worth
of timber destroyed year by year
and if this loss can be prevented by
more stringent regulation, this action
should be taken. In the case of
fires started by private individuals,
public sentiment in the locality must
become more pronounced against
carelessness.
