A DEMOCRATIC STATEMENT.

Norman E. Mack, chairman of the
Democratic National committee, is re-
sponsible for the following, which ap-
pears over his own signature:
"The republican party is hopelessly
disorganized. The standpat and pro-
gressive elements of the party are at
each others threats. The breach be-
tween them is growing wider and wild
er all the time. They will not be recon-
ciled, and it is up to democracy to
take full advantage of this situation"
There is something in these words
to give pause to every republican fac
tionalist. Are we as republicans going
to fritter away our splendid birth
right in internecine strife? Are we
to aid democracy for the joy of being
at each others throats?" Is there not
some common ground upon which we
can stand? We ask these questions
lay down personal animosities for the
good of the grand old party. We are
among those who hailed the election
OF Senator Kenyon as a means of heal
ing the breach as far as Iowa is con-
cerned. He did not suit us as we'll as
LATE Young or some other standpat-
ter would have done, but we were will
ing to yield on the hope of getting on
common ground at last. Having done
this we believe the progressives should
meet us half way The denomination
of President Taft is the only nomina-
ton which stands ghost of chance
to win at the next election. We in
vite the progressives to join with us
in working for his nomination and
election just as we joined with them in
approval of the election of Senator
Kenyon and in upholding his hands af-
ter his election. We are glad to know
that Senator Kenyon himself is heart
and soul for the denomination of Mr..
Taft. If we must, can we not leave
not the Kenyon progressives and the
moderate standpatters get together
and save the party from destruction?
We are willing to cooperate in such
a program. We are ready to swallow
a whole lot of things which we dislike
for the benefit of the party as whole,
and this simply because we believe
in the party as whole and believe
that the continuance of it's policies is
for the welfare of all the people
Mr.. Republican, and you, Mr.. Re-
publican Editor, read over again the
words of the democratic national
chairman. Is it fact that our differ
ences are irreconciliable? Is there
not some common ground on which we
can get together? Do you wish to
make the democratic prophecy come
true? Which is worth the more to you,
factional advantage or party victory?

DANGEROUS CROSSINGS.

t That a grade crossing of a double
track railroad is death trap is an
established fact. 1t did not need the
death of Mr.. Jurgen Sachau to teach
us this lesson. The victims of the
double track crossing will reach into
the hundreds, doubtless into the thou
sands.
| There seems to be no remedy. HUI
man life is too cheap to weigh against
the cost of elevated tracks or crossing
Watchmen. One cannot blame the
railroads so long as they can get off
so easily as they do at present. If
the community and the law has but
little interest, why should the rail-
roads take the matter up? The cor
oner's jury usually exonerates them,
and the payment OF a few death losses
is but drop in the bucket compared
to the cost of changing the conditions.
With freight trains nearly half
mile long it is possible for swift
train running on an opposite track to
approach crossing unseen by per-
son waiting for the freight to pass.
One is to a certain degree hypnotized
by the train he is watching, his at
tention is riveted, he hears no other
noise he sees no other object. After
the train on the near track passes he
very naturally drives onto the cross
ing, sometimes to be caught and killed
as was Jurgen Sachau.
1t being impossible to protect rail
road crossings properly in the coun-
try, the next best thing is to avoid
crossings wherever possible. On the
road from Denison to Arion there are
two railroad crossings over the main
double track lines of the Northwest
ern which are totally unnecessary. For
a few hundred dollars we believe a
strip OF land on the north side of the
track could be purchased from Mr.
McHenry. We believe he would be
"AAAAS3 W OCH IhAS a. a Ie1Al IA ASC just
in order to prevent such accidents. The
land is level and the grading would
cost but little. At present the road
crosses the railroad at the sand pit.
goes west little more than a quarter
of mile and then crosses back again
to the north side CT the track. A men,
Der of the board of supervisors tells
us that the plan is entirely feasible.
1t would not include closing the road
just in front of the McHenry farm,
that would be left open for people liv-
ing to the southwest who would have
to make the crossing but once. But
the second crossing could be closed
and the traffic to Arion would not be
obliged to cross the dangerous double
track at all. The shortening of the
road would be incidental, but it would
be something to consider. We believe
that If this matter is properly taken
up with the railroad company it
would be glad to contribute to the 'ex-
pense Of changing the road, or rather
of establishing a new one, the county
could do part, the city part and
interested citizens could contribute
the rest if necessary. There is no ex-
cuse for these two crossings within
half a mile and there ought to be |
enough spunk and good will and good
sense in the community to see that !
the change is made.
