FLY-KuLING AS A POLICE DUTY
New York Worldly

The assignment of the Boston police to combat the fly nuisance has pro- vol<ed levity. In fact, it has ser ious aspect both as showing the ear- nestness with which the campaign against flies and other insect germ ca rriers is being prosecuted and as marking the increase of sanitary du- ties required of police force. Pc licing a city is no longer limited to making arrests and keeping order, but comprehends the enforcement of hy- gienic regulations and protection o1 the public health unknown a decade ago.
 Kidding a great city of flies is a her crIanean labor But certainly their number could be greatly reduced by eradicating their congenial breeding nlaces by removing food refuse snoiled fruit and fostering carrion from their reach. If all marketmen and street vendors were required to keep fiy-traps in their stalls and carts and if their use was compelled by law where ice-cream, candy or soda-water is yended visible progress could be made.
 Sanitary experts have estimated that the extermination of the house. f1v would prolong human life two wears. 1t is by no means too insig- nificant a foe for nightstick, and the Boston idea is a good one. In this connection it is pertinent to ask what the police of New York are do- ing to enforce the Sanitary Code pro- vis;on ,s against the exposure of food hv dealers. It is, enforcement as re- gards the street stalls and stands near the North River ferries leaves much to be desired.

ONE VIEW OF WRECK.
(Bristol Press. )

(brlSIOl fTeSS.)
 The disastrous wreck at Bridgeport Tuesday morning of the Federal Elk press from Washington to Boston, is described as the most serious in the history of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad. Twelve lives were lost and forty-four persons were injured. Apparently it was one of those accidents which it is impossible to entirely guard against. After everything possible has been done for safeguards in 'the way of mechanical equipment and rules much still de- bends on the engineer and train crew. The personal equation is one that cannot be eliminated. Reliance must be placed in some individual. In this case appearance are that the individ- ual failed, and his neglect cost many lives, including his own. It is not re- assuring, but nevertheless it is cer- tain that awful accidents will continue to occur from time to time in spite of all that human ingenuity can do so long as the travelling public de- mands terrific speed. Reports say that the train was running sixty miles an hour There issa constant menace in such speeds, but the travelling pub lie insists on it.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-07-15

old railroad veterans and men active ly in the service today deplore the impa tience of the general public in thIS regard, which eliminated wholly any consideration of the dangers necessarily involved and ignores, a, the same time, the limitation to be set upon the m mechanical contrivances of man.
 But, says the Globe: But let IL ask ourselves if the time has not come when human life should be held more sacred than fidelity to a railroad fold er?' The time surely has come, but We fear that it's recognition is be- heath the shadow of the tragedy and will not last beyond the pressure that will follow its reference to history Tomorrow the restless world will be up and doing again. demanding the annihilation of space at the highest rate of speed, and the sorrowing ones of today offering a bonus for limited expresses. There are more tragedies ahead before this nervous people will be found ready to make haste more slowly. For the present the contempt for space is in the blood.

ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN
(New London Day.)


 That recent railroad wreck al Bridgeport was a most regrettab1e oc currence. That so many lives should have been snuffed out and that SC many should have received seriou. injury is shocking, but the dama ge has been done and the only thing Jeff to be considered is the cause of the N.ouble and the best way to avoid similar occurrences in the future.
 The New Haven road conducts its business so carefully that a serious wreck on its lire is all the more sur prising than similar occurrence or some other lines. However, the hu. man element enters into railroadine so much that there is really no tell ing when something will occur thai will upset the most carefully made plans to protect life.
 There doesn't seem to be any doubt that the train that was wrecked was running at a high rate of speed. Or many parts of the road such a speed would have produced no serious re- suits, but it happened that there was the right ombination of circum- stances at Bridgeport to cause the disaster and when one examines the pictures of the wreck the only won- der is that more lives were not lost
 It was most shocking occurrence, but it will no doubt have the effect of causing greater care to be taken and in that way reduce the risk of further accidents of the sort.

CALLOUSNESS
 AND HUMANITY

Two esteemed contemporaries. the Har<ford. Times. and The Journal and CourSer,. of New Haven, scored Mayor Buckingham, in recent issues for pre- suu,ing to declare that there must be . full Investigation of the wreck of the Federal Express with placing of criminal responsibility where 1t be- lones. This is not the first time these excellent newspapers have shown pensitiveness where the railroad mo- nopoly of Connecticut Is involved. The Times, we believe, makes a. long dis tance exonerakion of the railroad. We are not sure that the Journal and Courier goes quite so far. That sort of stuff Is all right within the do- main of the Yellow Building but Bridgeport is not in that jurisdiction.
 Hero a mayor may raise an honest voice in deprecation of a slaughter of his fellow citizens without being accused. of playing to the galleries. :" 1 Or if, perchance. some person enter tains a. thought of that kind, he re- 
 fleets how much better it is for a mayor to. play to the galleries" than to play ito the Yellow Building
 AS for Jus, we regard the mayors message from Rochester as the natural expression of a sympathetic man. who Is shocked beyond measure at a catastrophe h which many lives ap- pear to have been ineedl essly osacri- feed. The people of Bridgeport will not love Mayor Buckingham less, be- cause he is not of that cold and call culatfng nature which holds divi- dends superior ito human life. nor be- cause he wants accountability for daughter. yea. though 1t should lead to the most sacred precincts within the YelloW Building.

The Slaughter on the
 New Haven Road

The disaster at Bridgeport is said b. the railway officials, whose care and foresight are in question, to have been due to the failure of the locomotive engineer to change his speed rate to suit an emergency change that these same officials had made in the train schedule.
 The question is whether in such a case the caution and understand ing of the engineer ought to be Should not the officials have sup piled some additional warning at the danger point?
 To laymen it seems that in the railroad business emergency rail- road schedules should be fortified by emergency safeguards-that, for example. there should have been a flagman so stationed that he could, if necessary, have warned Engineer Curtis not to approach the novel switching point at or dinary speed
 When sudden changes are made in the program of train, is it fair to travellers that their lives should be made to depend upon the unfailing recollection of the change in just one mans mind? And in this case the mind of a tired, overworked man, not famil- far with the fast run to which he was assigned. Ought they not to be protected at the supreme point of peril by the minds of at least two men?

MAKING UP TIME.
(New Haven Journal-courier

iNeW Haven JOurnal-Courier.
 The Boston Globe makes a very sensible and timely reply to the critics who undertake to scold the New Ha- ven railroad for the wreck at Bridge port on the ground that the engineer was under the necessity of making up time. The Globe reminds these ill informed critics, who indulge in crit icism for the love of criticising some thing or somebody, that the travelling public demand the redemption of schedule promises. "It is the regular thing in the minds of those who tray- el much. Is it surprising that often an awful tragedy lies behind the making up?'"
 We took occasion to say the other day, the morning after the Bridge port disaster, that a number of infiu- ences were at work to bring it about, and that the rash and impuIsiye judgment that it was wholly the fault of the railroad management was un- just We did not think for the mo- ment of the insistence of the travel ing public upon the redemption of schedule promises, and yet it is one of the most potent of influences tempting the railroads of the country t~ E1i~+ -ith Seath- Va hayA haaxd

A HUMANE, LEGISLATURE

The Workingmen's compensation act which has been reported by a majority of the judiciary committee is by no means an ideal bill but it is better than nothing. and is immeas- urahly superior to the law as it has imnnsmoFially been applied in this state.
 The bill is in two parts. The first part provides for the abolition of the defenses. of fellow servant, assumed risk, and, ,contrfbutory negligence. The second part relates to compensation.
 The employer has the option of ac- cepting the second part of the bill. If he refuses to do so, the injured em- ploye or his representatives may sue for damages, and he will not have the advantages of these ancient de- lenses, which rendered it almost inn possible for the employe to make a recovery.
 Tn the complex system of modern Three men engage in carrying a weight. They are all laborers. One lets go. The others are killed. There is no recovery. for the injury was by the act of fellow servant.
 A man enters mill. where there is an ensine.a. The fly wheel bursts and he is killed. It. cannot be ahown that the employer was negli- rent with respect to the fly wheel, but the empioye can not recover. The employe took upon his shoulders all the risk of the industry. He assum- ed the risk4sE HIT
 Again an emp1oye%is killed by some notable neglect upon the part of the employer But if the accident was one that might have been avoided by the empIoye under a chain of cir cumstances that can be shown to the satisfaction of a judge, the. employe was guilty of contributory negligence and so cannot recover.
 Again under the existing system, the worker, or his representatives is obliged, failing private agreement with the employer to hire lawyer, f-<.< tho courts ct Ersat expense. us-

(AnSOnia Sentinel.o

Today's information from Washing ton to the effect that the Interstate Commerce commission has taken up- on itself the duty of Investigating the causes which led up to the railroad wreck at Bridgeport, is welcome, we believe to the people of this entire section of the country, and it should also be welcome to the railroad com pany. If, 4s has been alleged in at least one of the Bridgeport news papers, there has been a proneness on the part of one Or more officials in that city to conceal the real truth, or to fail to ascertain it, in times of such disasters, then it is plain that an investigation by the Federal au- thorities should be urged. A board of this kind might be able to ascertain facts which would be impossible for local officials to obtain, and it could have no. other object than to search out the whole truth with the sole view of fixing the responsibility definitely, whether upon individual or corpora tion, and also with the purpose of ac- quitting those falsely accused, whether dead or alive.
 By a study of such an accident as this one was. the interstate commits sion may derive important informa- tion bearing upon railway accidents in general, and from this data it is possible that deductions may be made which will result in further safe- guarding the travelling public in the years to come. This country's record of railway fatalities so far exceeds that of Great Britain that for some years past it has been made matter for scientific study to search out the causes and to bring about railroad reformations.
