ROAD BLAMED FOR WRECK
Central officials Are Responsible
for Kinmundy Wreck.

Washington.-The wreck on the ILL
nois Central at Kinmundy, ILL.,, which
caused the death of James T. Harahan,
former president Of the line. and other
prominent railroad officials, was the
direct result OF failure on the part of
the railroad company to employ suffi-
cient men to keep its signals system
working, according to charges filed
with the interstate commerce com
mission by the Telegraphers' union.
1t is charged that the Illinois Cen
trail had closed large number Of Its
block systems, and that for distance
Of 30 miles from the post where the
disaster happened, there were no
telegraphers or block stations in oper-
alton at the time Of the wreck.
1t is alleged that the railroad COM
pany cut down it's force and closed
its block stations, thereby endanger-
ing the lives of it's passengers, solely
to Offset the greater cost of operation
caused by the increased wages of the
telegraphers.
The interstate commerce commits.
sion acted quickly on receipt of the
charges. Hiram w. Belnap, chief In
spector of the safety appliance d.
vision, was ordered to Kinmundy to
make thorough investigation and to
report in full at the earliest moment.
Centralia, Ill.-The coroners Jury
In the Kinmundy wreck inquiry
brought in a verdict holding that the
Illinois Central railroad erred in run
ming trains 25 and 80 close together,
holding Henry Snyderjohn, operator at
Edgewood in error for allowing the
trains to pass so closely to each
other and Henry J. Brocker, fagman.

to appreciate the advantages of the improved con-
ditions Of recent years and they have followed up
the advantage that prosperity has given them by
making 1t easy for young man to get title to
tract OF his own for the daughter of household
to have dowry of broad acres when she marries.
We can all remember how the farmer of yester-
day, even II he was pretty well ixed," thought
that his son ought to be perfectly content II he
had a snowy turnout in which to take his best
girl for the traditional Sunday afternoon ride
Ideals have changed rapidly in this respect and a
great light has broken In upon the wide-awake
farmers. The prosperous tiller OF the soil has
come to realize that II he wishes to have his son
remain in the neighborhood he must either give
him a tangible interest In the home place or else
arrange matters so that the young man can strike
out as master Of his own holding. even though 1t
be comparatively small one to start with.
Rural Free Delivery Of Much Benefit. =,
Much has been said regarding the extent, to
which the rural free delivery OF u. 8. mail has
contributed to keeping boys and girls on the farm
and its influence has probably not been exagger-
ated. For all that the average young farmer
prizes the boon of receiving his daily paper on
the day on which It is printed, 1t is probable
that rural free delivery has meant even more to
the young women than 1t has to the young men.
The circulating rural libraries have been an
other contributor to content on the farms and SO
have the rural telephones which enable the
young people to keep iP. close touch with one an
other and enable them to arrange social festivities
on short notice,-something that was absolutely
impossible under the old conditions when every
farmhouse was more or less isolated from all the
other dwellings of the country side. The advent
Of the modern musical instruments has been an
other tremendous help in rendering the country
young people selfsuficient. The player piano has
done wonders but perhaps the greatest transfer
nation has been wrought by the modern graphic
phones, monographs mad talking machines with
the facilities they afford for readymade concerts
and recitals of sacred music and Accomplishments
for singing In the home and dance music for the
frolics in barn or parlor.
