We are often tod LnaL LuIS - IAO
age of the child; certainly children
were never more coddled or given
mort costly toys, observes the
Springfield Republican. In St Louis
12-year-old Thornton Howard, son
of the president of the Common
wealth Steel Company, got for a
Christmas present a 100000 play
house-not a theatre, but a house
to play in-which the newspapers
describe az "a wonderland" 1t
stands three stories high, and has a
natatorium. a gymnasium, a machine
shop, a sun parlor, a bowling alley,
a billiard room, shower baths,
garage, and everything else that a
boy could want or that fond parent
would think of for him. The only
thing not mentioned is a library
anybody can have books, but not
everybody can have an automobile,
or a swimming pool 80 by II feet
lined with white brick and decorated
with carved marble, or a domical
sun parlor made entirely Of glass.
We are told that Master Thornton
is pleased and expects to spend a
great portion of his time with his
chums in the house." This shows
a good spirit, yet it may be doubted
whether he will get any more fun
out of it than the old-fashion~d boy
extracted from the old-fashiOned
playhouse constructed in the back
yard or perhaps in the apple tree.
Certainly he is not likely to grow
up with a just conception of what
things cost For the price Of this
wonderland, which will soon come
to seem no very wonderful thing, a
public library adequate for cOnsid-
cradle city might be built. 1t could
have been converted into a respecta-
BILE college building or into a hospi
tai that would save many lives. AS
a pleasure house for one boy, or even
for his chums, it seems eXtraVagant,
not merely because the money might
be employed more usefully, but be-
cause it is not unlikely to be a bad
thing for the boy.
Turn, for illustration, to what
on Christmas at Orange,
n. j., where another spoiled rich
mans son and his chums drove reck-
lessly through the streets in a costly
high-pOwered automobile. Exceed
ing the speed law, which to a certain
class of rich malefactors is a joke,
they ran down and injured a young
woman. Instead of stopping to help
and to carry her to a hospital they
increased their speed. In their wild
race to escape they ran over and
killed boy. So far was this from
SOLDERING them that they put on full
speed and when the machine was
finally wrecked by skidding into a
curb they ran off on foot, and when
finally Overtaken fought tooth and
nail against arrest till they were sub
dued by force. Perhaps this boy
and his chums were bad boys. Per-
hapS if they had been poor they
would have been robbing orchards
or picking pockets to buy theatre
tickets. Yet the chances are that
wealth was the demoralizing thing;
whatever the effect of poverty on
crime may be it is less disastrous
than indulgence. !
If the simple life is desirable for
all it is imperative for the children
of rich men. These can offer their
sons every advantage, but they ought
to know that no luxury of mechani- !
cal toys or private tutors, or auto
mobiles, or foreign travel, or costly
playhouse with marble swimming
pools, can make up for training
in vanity, self-indulgence, idleness,

FIVE LIVES ARE SNUFFED OUT
COLLISION ON CENTRAL RAIL
ROAD NEAR JONEsBORO.
Freight Train and South Atlantic
Limited Crash Together at 1920
O'CLOCK Thursday Morning.


Had Central of Georgia freight
train No. 35, northbound from Ma
con, pulled out of the siding at Love
| joy just two minutes sooner Thurs
day morning there would have been
no headon collision between that
train and the South Atlantic Limited
southbound, at Jonesboro, and five
persons who were sent into eternity
when the trains came together
would have been alive.
With the freight train running
two minutes sooner it would have
reached the station at Jonesboro be-
fore the passenger train arrived and
it would have been possible for the
engineer of the South Atlantic Linn
tied to have seen the headlight of
the freight mile away.
The collision occurred at 1920
o'clock Thursday morning, and one
white man and four negroes were
instantly killed and three persons
more or less seriously injured.

man of the passenger train, several
slight bruises, probable internal in
juries.
Overlooked the Limited.
The accident between the trains
was caused by the freight crew over
looking the schedule of the South
Atlantic Limited or failure to keep
a close check of the trains they had
met. When the freight crew left
Griffin they had five passenger trains
to meet between there and Atlanta
the Savannah mail train two Sec
lions of the Dixie Flyer; the South
Georgia mail, and the South Atlantic
Limited. The freight train went into
the side track at Hampton and met
the Savannah mail and one section
of the Dixie Flyer, and went in at
the next station, Lovejoy, to meet
the others. They met the second Sec
ton of the Flyer at Lovejoy and the
South Georgia mail and after these
two trains passed out of the side
track and started to Atlanta. They
reached point just east of Jones'
boro, where they met the South At
lantic Limited on a curve.
Freight Grew Had Orders.
1t is possible that the crew on the
freight train overlooked the fact that
there were two sections of the Flyer,
as in the absence of two sections
they had met the usual number of
trains. 1t is difficult to understand
how this could be, however, as the
freight crew had orders in their pos
session that two sections of the train
were being operated and the rules
requiring the men to notify each 9TH
er when more than one section were
complied with.

Strike Doubtful, Says Wilson.
Suspension in Bituminous
Fields Is Held Inevitable

CHICAGO, March 9.-Announcement
was made here today that it would be i'm
possible for the operators and miners in
the bituninous coal fields to reach a wage
and working agreement by April l, and
that suspension of business on that date
was certain.
1t was said that even If the miners
and operators of western Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois at their confer
ence in Cleveland tomorrow decided to
come to an amicable arrangement it
would be impossible to draw up the terms
of a two-year agreement by the first of
the month. and that therefore suspen-
sion of business, if not a strike, was in
evitable.
The announcement came from the Illi-
nois Coal Operators Association, whose
president, H. NJ. Taylor, was expected to
reach Cleveland today. C. E. McLaugh-
lin, secretary of the association, declared
that 100000 miners in the four states
would be affected. AS at least six other
states-Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas,
Missouri, Iowa and Michigan--use the
agreement in the central states as the
basis for their contracts Mr.. Mclaughlin
said practically the entire bituminous
coal field, with 100000 mem involved,
would face a suspension Of business.

Attorney General Wickersham recently
sent letter to each member OF the bar

of the executive committee, and pointing
out that, as alleged, two other members
of the organization are colored men, one
being an attorney in Minneapolis and the
other living in Boston. Mr.. Wicker
sham, who is waging hot fight to pre-
vent the oustng of his assistant, asks
how the association reconciles the action
of it's executive committee in the Lewis
case with the continued membership OF
these two men. In his letter President
Gregory says:
notwithstanding all efforts to raise an
issue not involved, the fact remains that
