I've In Its equipment. Every line snould
be protected at danger points by auto
matte cut-offs, to supplement the en-
gineer's judgment in the matter of en-
tering prohibited blocks or regulating
the speed at such places as switches
and cross-overs. 1t is usually urged
by railroad authorities that such devices
are not trustworthy. but they are sure
ly as reliable az the engineers them
selves. The chance of the automatic de-
vice failing coincidentally with the judg-
ment of the engineer is so small as to
be negligible.
1t is beside the mark to urge in such
connection that the engineer, with his
own life at stake, is to be relied upon
to exercise the utmost caution. The man
in the cab grows callous to danger. He
is hourly dealing with an immense power
in circumstances of possible peril, and he
becomes more or less indifferent to the
risk that he personally runs. He accepts
the danger as part OF the business in
which he Is engaged, just as workers in
powder magazines get so immune to the
thought of risk that they ignore the
most important regulations designed to
protect them and others. This is the
point at Wnlch the railroad company
must intervene with some mechanical
method of preventing disaster. 1t must
take into account the human tendency
not only to take chances. but to grow
nerve weary. SO that the Judgment is
clouded. This duty should be enforced
by the law.
For years the American railways have
been sacrificing human lives wantonly
without need. and from time to time pub
lie Indignation is aroused to the point
of vehement protest against the con-
tinued pursuit of methods that have been
proved unreliable, and the ignoring of
methods that have at least the merit of
probable efficiency. The railroads as a
rule object to the imposition of any ali-
tomato check on the movements of their
trains on the ground that the public de-
mands speed. 1t is true that there is
demand for fast train service, but the
people would be we'll satisfied to travel
more slowly if the sacrifice of speed
were accompanied by an increased as
surance of safety.

The Summer Outings Charity.

For ten years now Washington has
been conducting helpful midsummer
charity as valuable as the relief work of
winter. and indeed even more useful in
that 1t is constructive and preventive.
Through public subscriptions. generously
given in annually increasing amount.
summer outings have been granted to
hundreds of women and children afford
ing them not only rest from the strain
in the hot season. but building them up
physically to enable them to go through
the rest of the year. There Is no esti-
mating the good that has been done at
the two summer camps.
There is always need of more funds
for the maintenance of the work at these
camps. If the subscriptions We're doubled
the number of those benefited could be
increased almost in proportion. Few even
of the generous ones who give from year
to year to these objects realize the bless
ings they are bestowing upon the poor
The families are selected for the summer
outings with the same care that is given
to the winter relief, work. The whole pur-
pose of the summer program is to pre-
vent distress. not merely to provide food
for the hungry or to afford pleasure for
tuOSe WHO are OenleQ the JOYS OF lie.
The colony at Camp Good Will is not a
mere picnic party. 1t is a bodybuilding,
notwithstanding community, constantly
shifting in personnel as the two weeks
allotted to each family expire.
Tired mothers, worn out by their house
hold duties and weakened by the midsum-
mer heat, are given rest and refresh
ment at these camps Their bodies are
strengthened with good food. They are
fortified against the years work in the
home. The children are brought into
communion with nature and derive even
more benefit than their parents from
their outings. 1t is known to a certainty
that in many cases the relief afforded
by this summer charity has prevented
the breaking up of the home through
sickness and death. Every dollar that is
given to the general fund for summer
outings is an investment in human life.

It has been pronounced feasible and eco
nomical. and there is strong likelihood
of a renewal of the work in the near
future without protests from the super
sensitive British public. Considering the
agonies that have been suffered by Eng
lish travellers to and from the country in
the additionally painful passage across
the channel, there should be an over
whelming popular demand in England
for this speedier and smoother highway
between the shores.

Hero Medals.

When you're passing them round
To the men who deserve
To be widely renowned
For their generous nerve,
There are names which are missed
From the luminous scroll
Where is written the list
That Fame loves to enroll
The man who keeps still
When a story is told
And who laughs with a will,
Though the matter is old;
The man who says yes"
When you ask for a loan;
He is brave more or less,
Though he fingers unknown;
And the man who goes out
For holiday fair
With his children about
Nor complains Of the care,
And more whom we know
Should be cherished and priced;
They are heroes, although
They are not advertised.

McReynolds Alleges Vic
latioa ofAntitrust Law
in Pennsylvania.
SUPKEM.- COURT
ACTION Is URGED
Declares There Is General Com
bination Between Railroads and
Coal Companies to Avoid
Competition-Counsel for
Defendant Asserts That
Charge Is Unfounded.

Washington. October lo.-Action by
to stop alleged violations OF the Sher-
man antitrust law BY the principal
railroads and coal companies In the
Pennsylvania anthracite coal region
was urged to-day by j. C. McReynolds
special assistant to the Attorney-Ge
erai. In 4 three-hour argument before
that tribunal He was followed by
Everett Warren. counsel for one OF the
defendants. the Temple Iron Com
pany.
Mr. McReynolds argued that the
evidence presented by the government,
in the trial of the case in the United
States Circuit Court for Eastern Penn
sylvania showed What there was a
general combination between the rail-
roads and coal companies to avoid
competition in the production, sale
and transportation of anthracite. In
asmuch as. Pennsylvania legislation
forbade the railroads to engage direct
~ or indirectly in mining, he argued
they had sought to avoid THE law by
buying stock in coal companies that
did mine coal
Evidence of Conspirncy.
AS evidence OF general conspiracy
he called the attention of the cour,
to the railroads buying stoch in the
Temple Iron Company, and the latter
company purchasing the leading in
dependent" coal concern. which was
said to be lending support to a plan
to build a railroad to compete with
the defendant railroads. He pointed
to the so-called 65 per cent. contracts
whereby THE railroads coal companies
buy the regulated output OF the indie
,,,.n I,,r- trc 70 nF hr
mines, as another evidence of monop-
oily
The fict that prices of coal sold b,
the various companies varied for years
suddenly became fixed at a high poin
and remained SO for ten years he con
tended was another evidence of com
bination. Much time was spent OF
what he declared were special com
binetions, constituting independent
violations of the Sherman law.
In criticizing the SO per cent. con
their other vices they suppressed com
petition between the railroad coal com
panies az buyers and as sellers; sup
pressed competition between the rail
road coal companies and the independ
ents: regulated and restricted the out
put destroyed the possibility of com
petition between railroads and new
lines. and in effect caused the rail
roads to depart from their published
freight rates.
Mr.. Warren maintained that the in
dependents did not intend to construc
an Interstate railroad. and therefor,
that the governments charge that tn,
Temple Iron Company was reorganiz
ed by the railroads to throttle tn,
construction of an interstate carrier
was unfounded.
