Now that the last day of school is
at hand, parents get together and see
that conditions are improved for the
next term. There are two schools,
and two of the first in the state at that,
that have no play grounds for me
children. They are the Woodsd2.e
school and the Elm Grove school. The
only play ground they have is the
concrete pavement or the county road
or street.
The new board is not to blame, it
was done while the old board was in
power, but the new board has not as
yet bet.ered conditions in this re-
spect. And it is up to the citizens in
general to Sc that they do SO, as they
are the voices of the people It is
nature for a child to play, and it is
also beneficial to its health.
The graft and ineficiency of the old
school board has been taken up, and
it is claimed will be settled. satisfac-
tory Let us hope so at heart, as the
commissioners have not settled their
account due the tax payers.
1t will be up to the people of the
county to see that play grounds are
provided at the above named schools

Sacrificing Life for Profit,

0oCtIIIStt9 Lie IOt TWIN
Last week while riding on one OF
the city and Elm Grove cars, Farley,
a resident Of this city, was struck by
a pole and seriously injured. He was
removed to the Office Of DR.. L. K
Cracraft, at Elm Grove, where it was
found he was suffering from numerous
bruises, and it is also thought that he
was injured internally, as the car he
was riding on was nearing Blochs
station, tit was an open carr he got
down on the running board, with the
result above stated.
The company has signs on all of
the cars, warning passengers not to
get off until the car stops, but it is
different with the conductors, who
have to be on the running boards all
day long, they are supposed to obey
about 101 rules aer are in book form
furnished by the company, see to the
passengers, collect the fares, dodge
poles and that is not all. They are
compelled to eat on the car and take
care of said car at the same time. And
by the way, do you know the street
Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1912-05-23

car men are the only species of the
animal kingdom on the face of the
earth that has to eat their meals under
these conditions.
Now we will ask two things: Do
the passengers prefer open cars? Also
do the employees prefer them to the
closed car? l think l am telling the
truth when l say that neither do.
Then there is only one party that
does, and that is the company. And
for what reason. There are several.
First is that they cost less; second,
that the trucks can be changed from
the closed ones to the open cars at
very small cost.
Counting the cost of law suits that
the. company is compelled to pay, and
the accidents that occur, the closed
cars are by far the cheapest. The
small open cars in the city are all
right, as they, as rule, use the cen
ter of the street and the conductor
has no poles to contend with.
On the West Alexander division
conditions are also very bad. One
and half hour service is maintained
by the company at present. Eight
years ago the residents had one hour
service. Do you call this progress
The cry of the company is that it
would not pay to give better service.
Not under present conditions. If the
fare was reduced, and the car service
bettered, many more passengers would
be hauled. This has been proven IN
! many cases in different cities.
The track on this road is in bad
condition at many PLACES; from BIochs
station to Wheeling par kit needs a
great deal of repair. 1t has not been
replaced for over Is years. The
bricks are high, and ira car should
happen to jump while passing another
it may cause very bad accident, and
probably the loss OF life.
But we can not expect much more
from the present company, as it takes
all of the proceeds taken in to pay
interest on bonds and watered stock
If the road was owned by the people
direct, 1t would be different, instead
of paying interest on bonds held by a
few, who have no interest expect Ito
collect said interest. If owned by the
people, the profit would go for bet
terment of service. Any thing con
J trolled by the capitals class, has tc

nothing to lose but your chains, and

have accomplished most for men,
while those which have been conduc5-
ed according to the whims and fancieS
of their adherents, have never greatly
influenced the world
Having said all this, in order not 10
underestimate the value of creeds, it
yet remains to define true religion.
James, in his epistle, presents the
whole thing in very few words. Here
is what he says in twentieth century
phraselogy:
Let every one be quick 10 listen,
slow to spea, and slow to get angry;
for the anger of man does not forward
the righteous purpose of God. There
fore, have done with all fifthiness and
whatever wickedness still remains,
an in all humble spirit receive that
message which has been planted in
your hearts and is able to save your
souls. Put that message into prac
tice, and do not merely listen to it
deceiving yourselves. For, when any
one listens to it and does not prac-
tice it, he is like man looking at his
own face in mirror. He looks at
himself, then goes on his way, and
Immediately forgets what he is like.
But he who looks carefully into the
perfect law the Law of Freedom and
continues to do so, not listening to it
and then forgetting it, but putting it
into practice-that man will be
blessed in what he does. When
man appears to be religious, yet does
not bride his tongue, but imposes
upon his own conscience, that mans
religious observances are valueless.
That religious observance which is
pure and spotless in the eyes of God
our Father is this-to visit orphans
and widows in their trouble, and TO
keep oneself uncontaminated by the
world"

Whitaker Mill
New Safety Rules

The new management of the
Whitaker-Glessner mills has inaugu-
rated one improvement that Will be
welcomed by the employees and by all
right thinking people. 1t is desire
to protect the employees from injury.
In the new safety rules displayed
prominently about the mills, the men
are given to understand that their
safety is of more value than private
profit.
Following are thep osted rules:
Safety First.
Every employe is hired to do some
particular work. Always remember
that bis safety and the safety of his
fellow workman are more important
than his work \
Carelessness is dangerous. If
workmen insist on being careless,
they will be discharged.
One mans efforts toward safety
may seem small, but all together can
do great deal.
Safety devices are of little value
unless maintained and used as they
are intended. The failure on the part
of employees to obey safety rules en-
danger not only the lives of them
selves, but also those of their fellow
workmen.
Any person coming to work under
the influence of liquor will be DIS
CHARGED. +
What Not to Do Unsafe.
Never leave tools or material lying
overhead after you complete a job.
AS soon as you are through, tear down
any temporary scaffolding. Do not al
low boards with nails sticking up to
lie around anywhere.
Do not go up and down a ladder
without the free use of both hands. If
material has to be handled, use rope.
Do not ride on engines, cars, cranes
brother moving bodies unless your
duty requires it.
Do not pile materials in an unsafe
manner. They are liable to fall and
cause an accident.
What to Do For Safety.
Report PROMPTLY anything of a
dangerous nature and what you would
suggest to remedy it. Suggestions
from employees will be welcomed by
the company. See for yourself that
all is safe. 7
Always remember that it is better
to cause delay than take chances
of an accident
Always use safety devices. Do not
take chance. Remember to keep
this in mind. When caution becomes
habit. there will be few accidents.
Be careful to obey safety signs.
Each means that the danger pointed
out exists at that place.
If you are injured, no matter how
little,,tell your foreman about it right
away and go to DOCTOR. A slight
injury may cause blood poison.
Keep off the railroad and STOP,
LOOK, LISTEN before crossing any
railroad or crane track
Every employe whose duties require
him to work with appliances or ma
chinery OF any kind must. carefully
examine the same and report any de-
feet to his foreman.

TRUE RELIGION.
(By the Rev. Charles steIzIe.)

Wy
1T doesn't matter very much what
man thinks; it is what he does that
counts" mot creeds but deeds"
These are sayings that one often
hears from perfectly sincere but often
times perfectly simple people. 1t
does not matter what one thinks, be-
cause what one thinks determines
what one does. Creeds are not ar
end in themselves, but they have
served as the basis Of definite action

that the churches which have been
