Track and Passenger Protection.

Sentiment against rural grade crossings
has been developing rapidly throughout
the eastern part of the country for some
years, and yet 1t makes but slow head
way against the intrenched position of
the railway corporations and the indispo-
sition of legislatures to force protective
improvements. An illustrative situation
exists just now at the town OF Brick
Church. N. j., on the line Of the Della
ware and Lackawanna railway, where a
commuter is conducting a single handed
fight for a measure Of defense which, In
the light OF the circumstances, seems alb
surdly inadequate. At that station daily
forty seven trains bound west and forty
nine bound east make stops. In addi-
ton there are an equal number of ex-
press, extra and nag trains passing
through, making total Of nearly two
hundred trains q day using the tracks at
this point. There IL no way to get from
one side 10 the other save over the tracks
ut grade. There is no platform for pas

sengers on the south side OF the tracks.
Consequently, persons wishing to take
eastbound trains must cross the west
bound track, after waiting until just be-
fore the arrival Of the trains. This means
q constant movement across the tracks
without any means OF protection from
accident save the precautions taken by
the passengers themselves The railroad
company observes a rule to stop trains
going in one direction when trains headed
in another are stopping at the station,
and It now refuses to make any EFFORT to
improve the situation by building an over
head passageway or q subway. The
matter has been put UP to Gov. wilson.
The conditions at Brick Church are typl-
cal Of those at thousands of railro39 sta
lions in this country, many of them In
the immediate neighborhood of Washlng-
ton. On few lines subways and bridges
are provided, but these are exceptional.
A rule should prevail in this country SIM
liar to that which governs at all Enghsh
railroad stations. Even at places with
trains running at intervals OF an hour OF
so, passengers are compelled to go over
or under the tracks to get from one side
to the other. This is at times an inc0n-
venience, but it is always safe the Eng
nsh railway companies jealousy guard
their rights Of way from trespass. and
have the protection of the law IN SO
doing. heavy fines being imposed upon
persons who deliberately cross the tracks
when other means of crossing are pro-
vided A movement to give similar pro-
lection to the right of way was under
taken in this country by the Pennsyi-
vania railroad a few years ago, but II
has made little Roadway for the rea-
son that in most cases the railroads have
themselves neglected to take the precau-
tons which are necessary to give the
public full protection. The people cannot
be expected to keep of the railway lines
if they remain open, and especially If 1t
is necessary to get upon the rails in order
to cross from one side to the other.

The High-Cost Of Ease.
From the Hartford Courant.


Those who study the cost-of- living prob
lem, if they do it intelligently. must give
full consideration to the increase Of what
in general terms may be called desire for
ease. What has become. for example, Of
that traditional household article known
as the market basket? In old days it
went with the head of the house (him or
her as it might be-. carried in the car
riage or on the arm of self or servant,
and came back home full of the things
wanted. Today all that simplicity has
gone. We just leave word to send along
what is wanted. See what a cost that
adds. Everybody who sets up store
must establish at the same time q livery
stable. Calls may be for barrel. of -four
or only for a cake of yeast, but they
must be answered. Did you ever sit
down and calculate how much additional
cost Of living is caused by the multiplicity
OF delivery vehicles? From the milkman
in the early morning to the last delivery
at evening from department stores and
markets, vehicles are crossing and re-
crossing each others tracks all day and
each one of these costs money. Suppose
We had a central market, with stalls
rented at small charges, and that each
customer bought and paid for his goods
on the spot, and then saw to it that they
were taken to his hcme. That would re-
duce enormously the local cost of living.

The Fight Against the Hookworm

At an average cost Of $1.27, according
to the annual report OF the Rockefeller
sanitary commission, more than 10000
persons afflicted with the hookworm were
treated in nine states Of the south dur
ing the past year. Considering the as
sured results in personal health Of such
q work, ii was an astonishingly small
price to pay. But, as the report says,
the particular value of this enterprise
was not in the number of persons re-
stored to health. but in the educational
effect Of the work In sanitation. In other
words. this is a preventive as well as a
curative undertaking. and it is certain to
lead to vitality important results through
out the south If it is continued even for a
few years. There is no possible way of
reckoning, but it is assured that millions
of dollars have been lost to the south
as result of this disease, through the
lowered vitality of the people, the less
ening Of their agricultural and indus
trial energies, their failure to do a proper
share of work when employed and the
necessity of providing for their needs
through charitable works when they fail
to meet their own necessities. In Porto
Rico the United States government has
already demonstrated the economic value
of hookworm eradication, increasing the
efficiency of the people by a large per-
centage through the systematic sanitary
works carried on there since the Ameri-
can occupation. This, however, was be-
fore the full discovery Of the hookworn
disease i'm all its characteristics and eff
fects. and doubtless the Rockefeller com.
missions work in the southern states will
be the more thorough because of more
complete knowledge of the nature of the
disease and the means of its transmission

Showing Up the Sweatshops.

1t will pay the people of Washington
to inspect the exhibit of the Consumers
League, now being held at the parish hall
of Epiphany Church, illustrating the sort
Of work that is done in sweatshops ana
tenement home factories. 1t Is the object
of this league to bring about the I'M
provement of the working people, espe-
cially those who can earn only small
sums and are exposed to health-destroy-
ing influences. UnQueStionably many
evils exist Of this nature. and probably
when the truth is thoroughly known
throughout the country a strong sentl-
ment will be evoked leading to reforms.
The purpose of the Consumers League Is
to educate the public and thereby to work
out the betterment of the peop-e VINO
make the goods that are sold In the
shops. 1t is a gratifying sign OF advance
ment that already sixty-five factories
have adopted the label Of the league,
which serves as a guarantee that the
goods are manufactured under sanitary
conditions at fair wages. The list of such
Endorsements is steadily growing, largely
as a result Of the diligent efforts of the
members of this organization, who are
actuated by the highest motives OF public
Improvement. Merchants are cooperating
sincerely with this endeavor, and 1t is
reasonable expectation that in few
years the demand for goods labeled with
the sign of the Consumers League wi
be universal.
This movement is based upon the high
est concept of general interest. In an in
diyidual sense it is not the concern of
the consumer whether purchased sooCs
have been made in sweatshops, by pitt
full wrecks of humanity laboring twenty
hours day for the merest pittances. But
ultimately it does affect every person If
such conditions exist. Poverty has come
to he recognized as a social disease, and
every intelligent study Of charity prob
lens reveals the fact that it is impos-
sible for a community to be sound and
healthful and prosperous long as eco
nomic injustice is done to any member or
class of members. The question of sani-
tation, too, is more intelligently under
stood, and the truth is accepted more
generally now than ever, that from the
sweatshops and slums and tenement
factories spread diseases that reach even
the homes Of af1uence.
The exhibit of the Consumers League
is in a way display Of evidence against
a false industrial system. II 1t Is impos-
sible to manufacture articles of general
consumption at profit save under such
conditions as prevail in the sweatshols
of the large cities the scale Of prices
should be changed. II by the employ
ment of such methods inordinate profits
are reaped by the manufacturers re-
adjustment should be effected at the pro-
duciflg end Of the line.

Autos and Crime.

When the criminal record of the pres
ent period is written at some future
time a special chapter must be devoted
to the part played by the automobile in
violations Of the law. Indeed, at the
present rate. especially in New York,
motor car work by thieves and thugs is
threatening to battle the police COM
pletely. Within week three highway
robberies have been copmitted in the
great city, and the thieves have made
their escape by the use of automobiles.
Saturday last two men knocked their
victim down in front of one Of the banks,
stole 1865 and escaped in q touring car.
Five days later three men attacked
two bank messengers who were riding in
a taxicab with $4,000 in their charge.
took the money and escaped in another
car. The next day three men attacked a
diamond merchant, and after robbing
him Of ten thousand dollars worth of
gems. got away in an automobile. ALI
three Of these robberies We're committed
in daylight, and were witnessed by by
ISLANDERS who were unable to move to
prevent the crimes or to overtake the
robbers. They acted in all the cases
with such swiftness and precision Of plan
that they had no difficulty in their work,
and now the police are at a loss to know
what to do beyond warning the people
not to 60 abroad carrying valuables
without strong guards. Last year three
motor car robberies occurred. In April
ten men held UP q car in Brooklyn and
grabbed the jewelry Of the men and
women and escaped in a motor. In July
three men in a taxicab raidfed a jewelry
shop in the center OF New York, stole a
tray of rings, killed a clerk, and escaped
In October four men held up fifty in a
billiard room. got $1,000 in cash and
jewelry and escaped by a taxi Thus
the 1911 crimes were not az dashing or a.
profitable a. those that have already
been committed this year, the inference
being that the thieves ara growing
