side of those in the engine no one on
the train was in more immediate dan
ger in case of a wreck. Still when it
came to compensation for injuries the
companies held that these clerks
we're not passengers and so not en-
titled to recover. But this is at an
end. The supreme court of this state
has come forward with with the opin-
ion that the mail clerk is as much
entitled to protection as the passen-
ger and that in case of accident the
same accountability rests on the com
pany with regard to the clerks as with
the passengers. Consequently in this
state the life of the railway clerk has

cision of the higher courts strikes one
as eminently just

Governor Carroll is enthusiastic
about the coming good roads conven-

1000 delegates at Des Moines. He
argues that some definite plan of max
ing good dirt roads viii surely be
outlined. In discussing the subject,
he says:
with delegates already appointed
from forty-one counties of the state.
with eighty-seyen OF the cities and
towns reporting the selection of dele
cations, with twenty-seven Of the
commercial clubs of the state announc-
ing their representation, and with
eight farmers Institutes notifying US
OF their intention of having a COM
plete delegation present, the attend
ance OF fully 1000 delegates to the
good roads convention in Les Moines
March S and 9 is anticipated. The
call which | issued some time ago met
with q ready response. Notices were
sent out calling the attention OF the
county auditors, the members of the
boards OF supervisors and the mayors
of cities and the secretaries of the
commercial clubs to the need OF a
forward movement for good roads in
Iowa The response was more graft
flying. The problem which faces all
