HUMAN FACTOR IN WRECKS.
Lesson of Recent Disasters on Troll
ley Lines,

ley Lines.
St. Louis Republic.
The Republic has before now pointed
out the doubtful blessings following in the
train Of Industrial, commercial or financial
development at a pace so rapid that hui
man development cannot keep up with It.
The fearful electric railway disaster in
northeast Indiana is case In point.
Financiers have found capital; engineers
have designed machinery and cars; sur
veys have been made; rails laid and opera
lions begun-ali faster than men could be
developed for the responsible positions OF
drivers Of heavy cars running at express
speeds.
The conditions that govern the making
of locomotive engineers are severe; the
rules regulating their admission to service
are most rigid; supervision of them, both
by officials and by their own ofganiza-
tons, is constant and unflagging. Loco
motive engineering Is almost a profession
with a high tradition. There has not been
time for anything like this development
on trolley roads, though the trolley ZEN
gineer'' has to reckon with as great speeds
and will soon deal with as heavy weights
as the locomotive driver.
The physical, ordeal is a factor here. No
weakling could ever come to run a loco
motive. The man on the right side of the
engine has passed through a time of proba-
ton, shovelng many tons of coal day
into an inferno OF blazing light and burn
ing heat, while bracing himself against
the lurching Of the stiffest Of vehicles upon
the smooth surface of an iron plate. VIII
the easier initiation of the trolley car
driver ever produce such men? We doubt
1t; and the answer is big with meaning to
the safety of society

vertisement in a Philadelphia newspaper
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1910-09-27

The first days sale of the first John
Wanamaker store amounted to $246l
That was a good many years ago. and
since then one months business in Wanna
makers Philadelphia and New York stores
amounted to $s.5OO,oOo.
Do you wonder that ! want to write a
book on the romance OF business building
Can you think OF any story of more alb
sorbing interest than the following this
wonderful man through the difficulties and
hardships that he had to overcome to es-
tabrsh this wonderful and enormous bust
ness?
Mr. Wanamaker was perhaps the first
merchant to establish a one-price store
and everybody predicted failure His bank
ers refused further credit, because, they
said. such e policy would ruin his bust
ness.
But Mr.. Wanamaker knew pretty well
what he was about, as the results prove,
80 he went ahead with his plan.
The day following his determination to
establish the one-price system he an
nounced the fact in the newspapers.
That is, he put his proposition squarely
TO the people. took them into his conf
dence and told them what he proposed ia
do for them.
The people were good and tired OF let
the buyer beware way OF doing bust
ness. They could not he worse off in any
case. so. figuratively speaking they said
to Mr.. Wanamaker. IAN right. go ahead
and show us. II you treat US fairly, II you
do what you say you will do we are with
you, we will give you our support, Nc
will buy your goods, and be glad OF the
chance on such terms"
Mr.. Wanamaker did go ahead. did show
them that a merchant could and would
keep his word-proved that business coult
be carried on properly II decently.

drill regulations. expect TO have a tentative
draft ready for issue and trial to a limited
extent by November /. The revision was
practically completed last March, at which
time IL become evident that the adoption
of the new equipment for the foot soldier
would necessitate further changes to recon-
Gle to the new equipment those para graphs
which pertained to the old equipment. These
changes have now been made. The regula-
tons will probably be issued to at least
two regiments OF infantry Of the regular
army and one regiment OF militia for trial
for about six months. Criticisms and sug-
gestions will be invited from the officers
on duty with the troops having the regu-
lations under experimental use; and, after
expiration OF the experimental period. the
regulations will be again gone over in con-
nection with the recommendations received.
Thereafter II IL expected they will be
printed in their final form and issued to the
service, The revision has been a long and
| tedious one The last revision resulted in
the edition Of 1904 and the work OF inn
proving those regulations in the light OF
experience and new methods of equipment
has been most carefully done During the
process of evolving the revised regulations
! the officers engaged in the work have felt
the need OF infantry troops for the purpose
OF testing in actual practice proposed
changes. and this is now cited as one OF
| the reasons why some infantry organiza-
! lions should be stationed near Washington.
| The fact that such experiments were not
possible makes all the more advisable a
| trial of the new regulations before they are
4 finally adopted. The officers of the gem
eral staff who have been engaged in the
revision are Colonel Joseph w. Duncan,
Sixth infantr-'; Major Clarence r. Dentler,
Twenty third Infantry. and Captain William
S. Graves, Twentieth infantry. Since the
