Many Accidents
Due to Negligence.

BY one who has been for 81 years
in railroad service, and during all
that time a careful observer and
student of conditions, the published
assertion is confidently made that
at least rs per cent of these ia
talities are due to the negligence
of employees.
If this is in the case, is there
anything for an endangered and an
unnecessarily endangered public
to say or to do in the premises?
This negligence is certainly not
due to the failure on the part of the
railroad management to issue a
program of service and to con-
struct rigid system of rules and
regulations. The root of the diff
ficulty lies in the laxity of en-
forcement, and that laxity is due to
two causes, the first of which Is
that an American Is rarely willing
to do exactly as he is told. He has
such a conception Of the suff1ciency
of his own judgment that he re-
CARDS every ordinance promulgated
for his observance as something to
be more or less literally interpreted
and applied just according to the
impulse of the moment.
1t cuts across the grain Of the
American temperament to obey-to
do ABSOLUTELY AS HE IS Or

AS a further proof of mans alb
ject slavery to fashion, consider the
way he dresses in summer Even
on the most tropical days he at
tires himself as Il he were going
on a north pole expedition. He
puts on a wooden suit, a stiff
starched shirt, a three ply stiff
starched collar, a thick silk neck
tie. Every layer of clothes means
that much more heat to be endured,
but while he mops the steaming
perspiration from his brow he dons
the coat and vest that will put him
in danger of pershing of heat apo
plexy before he gets home.
A few years ago a philanthro-
pist, seeking to mitigate the suffer-
ings OF his fellow man in the dog
days tried to induce men to leave
their coats and vests in summer
and wear shirtwaists, as women do.
The idea had everything to recon-
ment it. 1t was comfortable, clean
ly, hygienic and even picturesque
Abstractly, men were enthusiast
tically in it's favor, but when 1t
came to putting the theory into ac-
tual practice they were so COM
pletely dominated by fashion and
custom that they hadn't the brav-
cry to do it.
In view Of all these facts men
have no right to ridicue women
~
being slaves of fashion. We are
all tarred with the same brush. If
men point the finger of scorn at
women's straight front, women can
retaliate by calling attention to
their choking collars, and if women
show their lack Of sense by wearing
too little clothes in winter, men
show their deficiency of intelli-
gence by wearing too many in sum-
mer
AS a matter Of fact women have
a better excuse for being slaves Of
fashion than men have, because
women dress to please men. THEY'D
be glad enough to be loose, and fat,
and comfortable, and would 20

please and no Justification for their
slavery to fashion.

Then you perceive that women

A woman, for instance, conforms

A man may have the courage to

Written For The Georgian
By the Rev. DR.. c. H. Parkhurst

n TOT many people are sufTl-
" ciently interested in figures
to be willing to study sta
tistics, even though they relate to
matters that are of vital popular
concern.
1t sometimes results from this
that problems that wait upon pub
lie action for their solution are left
unconsidered and unsolved to the
sacrifice Of the general advantage.
One of the features of our times
is the large and we are authorita-
lively informed, increasing number
of railway accidents and horrible
railway disasters.
So accustomed are we becoming
to such events that they are now
no more than a "a hours sensa-
ton, except to those who are i'm
mediately concerned-that is to
say, the wounded, and the rela-
tives and friends of the slaugh-
tered.
The showing we mate is an I'M
favorable one as compared with the
situation in Great Britain, where,
in 1906, for instance. the number
of passengers carried was greater
by four hundred million than in
'the United States and yet only 40
per cent as many were killed as
here, and only ten per cent as
many injured-a proportion all the
more surprising from the fact that

Britain would naturally render

Hasty Judgment

results in substituting a hasty and
risky judgment of their own In
place of regulations that have been
carefully thought out by men who
have wider grasp and a keener
sense of contingencies.
A second cause Of lax enforce
ment lies in the fact that railway
labor organizations have now be-
come so strong that in many cases
the railway management stands
more in awe Of the unions than the
unions do Of the management; SO
that when a locomotive engineer.
for instance, has been guilty of an
accident through violation of one
of the rules of the road, the union
rallies to his defense.
The grievance committee, strong
in the consciousness of the strength
of the union, fights it out with the
management, weak in its fear of an
impending strike, and the probable
issue will be that by the time the
killed and wounded are In their
graves or under treatment in the
hospital the engineer is back on his
seat and the long suffering and
helpless public stands by wondering
when the next derailment or COLI
sion will occur.
