ON srAY-AT-HoME WAR CRITICS

Lucius Acmilius Pauus a Roman consul who had been selected conduct the war with the Macedonans, B. C. 16S. went out from the senate house into the assembly of the people and addressed them. in I.ivy. book XI4IN. chapter 22. follows:
 In every circle, and truly at every table. there people who lead armies into Macedonia; who know where the camp ought to be placed; what posts ought be occupied by troops when and through what pass Macedonia should be entered; where magazines should beformed; how provisions should be conveyed by land sea; and when 1t is proper to engage the enemy. when to lie quiet And they not only determine what is best to be done but if anything is done in any other manner than what they have pointed out. they arraign the con suI as if he were on his trial. These are great affairs, everyone cannot encounter injurious reports the constancy and firmness as Fabius did. who chose to let his own authority be diminished through the folly of the people rather mismanage the public business with a high reputation.
 'I am those who think that com manders ought receive advice; on the contrary, I should deem that man more proud than wise who did everything of his own single Judg- mcnt What then is my opinion: That com manders should be counseled chiefly, by persons oi known talent; by those, especially, who are skilled in the of and who have been taught by experience; and next, by those who are present the the action, who see the country who see the enemy: who SC the advantages that occasions ofer. and who, embarked as it were.

But if he thinks this too much trouble, and prefers the repose oi d city life the tolls of let him not, on land, assume the office of pilot.

Safety Suggestions

We have from time to time alluded the "safety-frst" the railroads. anG particularly the campaign which being carried all of the Hartman lines the greater protection of passengers and employees, with the result that accidents such might reasonably be foreseen have been reduced q minimum. Regular meet held on divisions, and in Phoenix, of certain officials employees of the Arizona Eastern lines. where suggestions received greater safety. some these suggestions are purely local referring the condition d bridge or q track at a certain point, a defect Of a certain engine. to the practice of boys this that station of jumping off and moving trains. Other sug- gestons general and applicable conditions at any point any road such d recommendation to discontinue the practice allowing persons to bid goodbye departing friends.
 To the layman the reforms proposed in these suggestions very important. but it does require a great deal technical knowledge of railroading, attention has directed to it, realize all these suggestions taken together propose the elimination of many remote chances of accidents.
 The Southern Pacific company, to stimulate greater interest safety meetings has instituted an annual competition among the em- ployes of it's eleven divisions in which awarded prizes the divisions sending the larg- number of practical sugges, ons for safety and the elimination careIcssness and hazardous con dItions and practices.
 In the last year 2673 suggestions were received and 17SS of them. 67 per cent. found to be practical Already in carrying them out more than $f1,ooo has been expended and when the under way is completed this one lot of suggestions will have the Southern Pacific $125000 for tie things alone.
