THE FATALITY OF RAILROAD
TRESPASSING

The fatalities on railroads in
this country seem to be growing
to an alarming extent, and it is
claimed that fully three-fourths
are not passengers or employees,
but trespassers on the railroads..
1t is strange that men should be
so careless. Walking on the
tracks is attended with great
risk from the fact that on many
lines trains are constantly NOV
ing in both directions, and under
all conditions a little carelessness
may prove fatal. Particularly is
this the case with children and
young persons who are naturally
more or less needless.
It is an offense to trespass
upon railroads, and persons Of
Tending can be and are often ar
rested and sentenced to short
terms of Imprisonment, thus en-
failing upon the public a burden
of expense.
Every community is, therefore,
interested in this subject, as we'll
as the railroads, and persons
with the public interests at heart
should use their moral influence
to prevent such general trespass-
ing on railroads which causes
such destruction of human life.
