VOLUNTEER PERIL,

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has recently published series of
statistics on railroad accidents. It is
surprising 10 find that, of the whole
number of those killed IN railroa ac-
cidcnts, hfty-three per cent are tres.
passcrs who have no right TO be on the
track or in the railroad yards or
trains.
IL is recognized everywhere that the
operating crews Of railroads as we'll as
yard men, arc subject TO unusual risks
Of injury and death. and in truth the
statistics fully bear out the general
impression that railroad employ is one
OF peculiar peril.
But TO find that ffty-three per cent of

GREAT BUSINESS VENTURES.

The revival of business throughout
! the country is getting to he more and
| more pronounced every day. The trade
returns of the United States in the
export aud the import trade show euor'
nous balances in favor OF this coun'
try. and these will stop the drain which
Europe has been able TO get from us
in securities aud gold in large volume
for some time past
4 considerable revival in the steel
trade is reported, with many new or
dcrs. This revival is justly credited
with two enormous enterprises report
ed from the old middle West. The
Baldwin Locomotive Company is re.
ported by one OF its officials, 10 have
in contemplation for immediate CON
structiou plant between Hammond
and Chicago, to employ $4,000 mcn, and
TO have a capacity of turning out thirty
locomotives day,
Another $4,000 900 enterprise is re.
ported from Youngstown, Ohio, in the
form of a new steel company which
will control mines, coal, and cokiug
facilities sufficient for sli possible re-
qulrcmcuts for many years to conc.
These two enterprises arc Justly held
TO be indicative of marked revival
in the steel trade. aud consequently 10
he significant Of a general revival OF
business. Tho order of the Pcunsvlya-
MIA railroad for the construction of
1000 steel freight cars for its coal and
coke traffic is IN line with this revival.
At the same time, it appears from
the returns Of 1o11 that last year is
showing far better in general business
and foreign trade than one would sup.
pose from the complaints which have
come from various sources about re-
strictiyc trade, paraylzed commerce,
and the like. The amount Of imports
fall short of the imports vf 1910, but
not very much. whiIe the exports were
largely In excess of any year here
tofore, running considerably above two
billion dollars. Tho excess of exports
last year over the previous record was
upwards OF 100000. The aegrc-
gate of imports and exports was So
625, ,oQ0,0 900, which forms new record
and the excess of exports over imports
was $559, 100000, the largest amount
since 1907. At the same time, the do
mostic trade reports show, as measured
by bank clcaranccs, very substan-
tial keeping up with the records OF
former years, and the excess OF cN-
ports Of manufactured goods is grow
ing all tho time as compared with the
exports of raw material aud food com
modities, not only IN ratio. but in vol,
ume and value.

not in any way to be gricved over from
the domestic standpoint, while from
the standpoint Of foreign trade il is :.

GRUBsTAKE FOR HoMEsTEADs

| The Pincho, conservation, which Is
! driving 30 many Americans TO Canada.
and which is making it practically i'm.
possible for homcseckers to get a
footing ON the public lands of their
own country. has driven those who are
aware Of thc situation to efforts for
relief. Accordingly, we Gud that Rep
rcsentative c. 0. Lobeck Of Nebraska
has introduced bill proposing in the
matter Of homesteads that two per
sons may join together aud each OBJ
tain one-half Of the homestead tract.
| The bIl is based upon tho well-known
erubstake principle as applied 10 min
ing. Under the erubstake law, SO
called. which is frequently enforced IN
the courts. one person may supply
the means for prospecting. buying
the tools tho food, and out6ttlng the
prospector CD the basis that each will
share alike. or according TO a contract
which they may enter into. The one
who STAYS at home furnishing the
money AMI the needed supplies, is
fully protected by the crubstako con.
tract, and his right to the portion
agreed upon of the discovery made is
legally enforceable.
This is the principle OF the Lobcck
homestead bill. it provides that two
persons, each qualified to take
homestead. may file the homestead ap-
plication Jointly, and one reside on the
land and make the final proof. On
showing the continued residence of
th,s one, according TO law, the
patent shall issue separately TO each
for onc-half of the land entered. \
copy of the contract shall he filed
with the Joint homestead application,
and not moro than 100 acres of irri-
gated or irricable lands shall be in.
cluded in any one Joint homestead
transfer and assignment arc carried in
the bill, and the grubstakc proposition
is thoroughly recognized.
There would seem to be no reason
why this bill should not he enacted
into law. it is extremely difficult. in
MANY cases absolutely lmpractlcabIe,
for homesteader TO enter upon n
tract Of public land, living upon it,
and supporting his family on the land,
from the first. Even with the coucos-
sion that the homcstcader may. for
purposes of getting money enough to
support his family and make his entry,
be absent from tho land the ueces-
sary time TO do this, the difficulties of
the situation are not sufficicntli allie
waited, This joint homestead propo'
sition. amounting 10 the same thing
as crubstake law in mining claims,
would be great relief; and, since
there is no Likelihood Of the privilege
thus conferred being abused, there
would appear to be no valid reason to
bc urged against the passage of the
Lobcck bill
