THE HORRORS OF
 AMERICAN RAIROADING

A short while ago a f'limited'' on the Illinois Central Railroad crashed into the rear of a special train, con taining an ex-president of the road, the general manager, and a number of men prominent in public life-grind- ing them into a grizzly paste.
 There were five killed outright, and fifty seriously injured in this little wreck. But what of it? ''Wrecks we must always have" according to American railroad philosophy, and the public promptly forget. It doesn't teach anything. because it's too much of an effort to think constructiYely. It never occurs to us that there is no more excuse for these killings than there would be for the railroad man. or burn to death a like number of victims.
 HOW ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY MAY
 BE SECURED.
 There is only one trifling matter that intervenes to prevent absolute immunity from co lisions, and that is the rapacity, vulpine greed and hog gish indifference of our railroads Con sequently, when a few officials are hoist by their own petard' our sor- row is no where near as profound
 Because of the cost of installing an interlocking SyStem-as used in Eng land-or the block systen-as employ
  hundreds of lives will be sacrificed every year, thousands crippled, and millions in property and equipment de- stroyed.
 In switzerland there has been no col lision for many years. The Swiss en1- ploy electrically operated autom otfc devices which make 1t absolutely i'm possible for a train to run into a 'Fblock'' carrying another train.
 A SAFE BLOCK SYSTEM
 The engineers-with no division of responsibility-run each train. If they should both ignore the signals show ing that another train was in that area, or if they and their fremen should all drop dead simultaneously; the instant the rushing train entered that block, the lever would be reversed and the brakes applied automatically. Collisions are impossible. These de vices could be used in this country, and travel rendered as safe as it is abroad, but the railroads consider it cheaper to massacre few score pas sengers, and pay some trihing damage claims than to install these safety measures.
 The reason travel is safer in Switzer- land and abroad than it is here is be- cause there the Governments own or operate their own roads. They do not as we do-give millions upon mil lions of dollars in land grants and railroad corporation.
 WE SHOULD OWN
 OUR RAILROADS They have brains enough to con trol their own iron highways, and in sure themselves-in increased eff1cien- cy, and practical safety-from the horrors which disgrace American rail- roading and make it's name a hissing and a reproach.
 Under Government ownership the people would demand and secure the utmost possibility of safety.
 Under corporate ownership 1t is necessary to declare dividends. And the public be damned" as usuaI-and they richly deserve it, for their stu pidity and indifference in permitting this condition of affairs to persist.

PARK THEATRE

 Eazimova she of the supple physi- cal sinuosity and the alert mental equipment, is to visit Park Theatre, on Monday, Feb. 5th in her latest New York success, 'The Marionettes." This is the first essay of the famous Russian into comedy, but reports credit her with having strikingly evil denced a versatility not heretofore as- Eociated with her in public or critical estfrna ton. She has become a not abIe figure through her searching Dreseutments of Ibsen and other peculiar types. but now she comes to 1Is as a young girl from a French con- vent, where she has learned the beauties of life, but none of it's reali- ties She falls in love and marries a man, but not a husband, and when she finds herself cast aside for f1ashy examples of her sex, she starts to win what she feels, after her awa<- ening, is her due, by the same meth ods she has seen used against her. The play is a comedy, but one with an abundant entiment, and it pre- sents Nazimova in a new light.
