sons we're there. If the agitation that is being
conducted by the big railroad companies and their
subsidiaries TO reduce such morality is to be pro-
ductive of far-reaching and lasting results it must
be supported by public sentiment and also by those
whose business it is TO administer the law
1t is not unnatural that magistrate should hes-
tate TO punish a man who is willing to take the
risk of walking on railroad tracks. 1t may be said
however, that this trespass trouble has reached
such a stage and so many persons have been killed
and manned, that sentiment should be laid aside
TO the end that the great slaughter may be stopped
If tespassers once learn that trespassing is to
be following by arrest and punishment they will
abandon such dangerous ground and stick TO the
place. If that end be accomplished it will result
in the saving of more than 5000 lives in this
try each year, to say nothing of those trespassers
who merely are manned or Of the families that are

Del) Evening Journal, was the guest
of honor at a luncheon Wednesday
rendered him by his friends on the
staff of the Press. Tho affair was held

was one long to be remembered. Few

more good wishes for future success,
health and happiness than did Mr.
Carter. A feature of the luncheon was
the menu on the front cover of which
was a cartoon of Mr. Carter at the

of entertaining things about Carter.

There certainly can be no valid objection TO the
scientific training of the members of the Organized
Militia of this State to their fists effectively
as they use their arms when the exgences of war
or other trouble may call for it. Surely ii would
be more humane for one of soldiers TO van
quish a foe with a right TO the solar plexus or
left hook to the point of the chin than with
steel-jacketed bullet or a sword bayonet 1t would
mean less work for the army surgeons, the Red
Cross nurses and the ambulance corps leave fewer
widows and orphans to deplore the ravages Of
ruthless warfare keep down the pension rolls an.
put war under the jurisdiction of a State or Ma
tonal Boxing Commission. In fact, think that
such an arrangement would appeal even to the
enemy, who rather would take the count of ten,
with its certainty of coming back, than risk the
uncertainties of eternity If Andrew c. Gray,
Attorney-Genera and Daniel o. Hastings, City
Solicitor, reach decision that it would be no
violation of law for the members of the Or
ganzed Militia to resort to boxing bouts for the
development of their physical powers, the ultimate
effect may be the discovery of the White Hope for
whom Fistana now is pining.
