PRESIDENT WELL PLEASED
Considers Result In Maine Best News
In Several Years.

Beverly, Mass, Sept. 11.-President
Taft was greatly pleased with the Re
publican victory in Maine. II was the
best political news, the presidents
friends said, that he had heard since
he entered the White House.
The president was so interested In
the bulletins that he remained up un.
til an early hour in the morning to re.
ceive returns. He was particularly
cheerful when he learned that the
Maine legislature will be Republican
on joint ballot, assuring his party Of
another vote In the United States SEN
ate.
Although the president had no state
ment to make about the Maine result,
his friends here are not so reticent.
They found much cheer in 1t and were
sanguine of the effect in other states.
According to their view the result will
serve to keep In line many Republic
ans who were wavering toward ths
Progressives.

,, N. j., Sept 11.-Gov-
W Wilson declared him
With the outcome of the

! results are very salts
he said, biased on the re-
suits of both four years ago and two
years ago. Two years ago the Repub-
licans were divided, but this time
they were united. That makes a great
difference. In 1901, as / remember, a
Republican governor was elected by

was about $4,000"
Governor Wilson added that the es-
sential thing to coLsider was that
while the Republican, in Maine had
gotten together the Democrats had
more than held their own, reducing
normal pluralities extensively. He
thought also that the vote in Maine
showed "some drift" as 1t did In Ver-
mont, namely that the Democrats
were not losing, but gaining votes In
states ordinarily Republican.

The excessive mortality on Ameri-
can railroads comes from two sources
wrecks and trespassing. The most
prolific cause of wrecks now is the
broken rail. Often this is the fault
of defective rails, which is up to the
steel trust, but quite frequently II
results from high sped and heavy
trains There is somewhere limit
to fast running and heavy loads, ana
possibly we have already passed it,
Deaths from wrecks are not di-
rectly under the control of the pub
lie, but deaths from trespassing are.
Here the victim himself is often at
fault. In this connection the Penn
sylvania railroad has been carrying
forward campaign to educate the
public against trespassing. 1t start
ed in 1908, as deaths from this cause
in the previous year reached high
water mark at 916.
The cooperation of the city and
county authorities was invited and
wide publicity was given to the eff
forts the company was making. TO
put an end to this evil. AS a result
of these efforts the number OF tres
passers killed on the Pennsylvania
in 1908, was TAB, a reduction of 1873,
or more than Is per cent The rail-
roads activities in this direction
were redoubled in 1909, and again
the death roll from trespassing was
reduced to 633, or about Is per cent
Even more vigorous have the Penn
syEania's efforts been in the past
TWO years, with the result that In
1910 the number of killed was re-
duced to 5S5 and in 1911 to 527, a
decrease of AZ per cent since 1907.
Other railroads should take up
this work, in which the newspapers
and public could powerfully help.
