A DELICATE QUESTION.

OPTICIANS in Illinois class Vermilion as an

ECONOMY BY CONFUSION.

URING the fiscal year 1908 there were killed on
the street railways of the city 300 persons. During
the corresponding year 1910 the number killed was
but 1872. The death rate of street car accidents
had thus been reduced 80 per cent. in two years.
The cause of tho decrease in fatalities was the
The evening world., 1911-02-06

adoption by the street railway companies of a system Of safety appi-
ances under orders from the Public Service Commission. The show
ing carries with 1t, therefore, a commentator for the work Of the
Commission, but a condemnation o.. the commercialism that prevented
the companies from providing such appliances upon their own in
itntve.
. The cost of installing the safety devices is estimated at $4,000
The companies will probably save more than that sum in reduced law
costs and damages for deaths and accidents. So they gain by the
gain to the public. Yet it took compulsion to make them adopt the
economy. Such is the way of corporations.

stuff looks possible, If not profitable.
The gentleman is intelligent and apt,
and If any man known to this paper
can succeed with it he can. It Is his
conclusion that we may adapt, so to
speak, a peculiar alfalfa Of our own
training and production by saving and
sowing our own seed from each sue
cessive crop. He anticipates the
greatest danger from the hot and
