ALPINE YOUTH IS
KILLED BY TRAIN
Wallace Hector Meets Death Near Col
Iege Station, Texas; Body is
Brought to His Home.

Alpine, Texas, Dec. 27-Funeral SER
vices were held in the MeUnodisU church
here at 10 o'clock this morning over
the remains Of Wallace Hector, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs o. H. Hector, who was
killed as he jumped from a freight car
near College Station on Christmas eve.
Until the body arrived this morning
in the care Of two of the young mans
college friends. no details were known.
The bare fact of the tragedy only had
been telegraphed Mr.. AID Mrs Hector,
reaching them while they were helping
to make the Methodist Sunday school
children merry with Christmas tree.
1t appears that young Hector, with two
friends left Bryan for Southwestern
University too late to catch a trolley.
so, as is the student custom, they paid
their fares on a freight train Hector
was alone in the car behind the one
in which his companions rode and
when the train slowed down at College
Station and his two friends called to
him, there was no reply. When they
found no sign Of him in the car, they
started on foot down the track, and
some 100 yards away they found his
bruised body flung a short distance
from the track. His neck was broken.
It is supposed that he jumped off be-
fore the train had slowed down; that
his OvercOat caught and that he was
first dragged along and then flung
violently down by the momentum of
the train.

Efforts are being made by the war
department to increase the strength
of the organized militia of the United
States. There has been an increase
of nearly 10000 officers and men dur
ing the last year And if the recon-
mendations of the secretary of war
are adopted the state militia will be
brought into closer touch with the
regular army and made, thereby, more
permanent and efficient.
A striking feature Of a recent re-
port of the Interstate Commerce COM
mission is that large proportion of
railway accidents are caused by dire
LECTION OF duty of employees con-
cerned; but the commission believes
that railroad engineers and trainmen
have keen appreciation of their re-
sponsibilities.

ment over anything which is now pro
vided. The plan which would cause
gates placed at the side of the tracks
to be closed automatically by the ap-
preaching train would be still better.
Either one of these provisions would
not be particularly expensive to the
railroad company A still safer meth
cd of warning would probably be a
Waterman to be placed at all cross
ings where considerable number Of
teams are driven across the track. It
may be said that to place a Waterman
at the crossing would be expensive,
but when it comes to weighing eX
pense against human life, the expense
argument cannot prevail. 1t would
be better for the people if railroads
were abolished than to have large
proportion of the population MANNED
and killed. but it is not necessary to
take this extreme view OF the situa-
ton because with the expenditure of
limited amount Of money such safe
guards could be provided as will in
sure almost absolute safety where
railroads cross the highway.
We do not assert that the managers
of the railroads are either morally or
legally responsible for all the acct
dents that occur at crossings, but we
do assert that unless greater precau-
ton is exercised in providing safe
guards against accidents such as have
recently occurred in our neighbor-
hood, there will be no way to escape
moral responsibility and we believe
that laws will be enacted which will
make the management liable civilly,
if not criminally, for not taking prop
err steps to avoid repetition of such
accidents.
Recurring again to the question Of
establishing highway on the north
side of the railroad between the Nc
Henry crossing and the one east of
it, we insist that this Improvement
shall be made at once. Another six
months delay will probably result in
the death of more people. We hope
the city council who has the jurisdic-
ton of this matter, will take immedi-
ate steEs to provide this additional
highway and to close the two cross
ings to public travel.

MUST SLAUGHTER CONTINUE?

The death of the Reimer and Evers
people on Friday night at the Nc
Henry crossing, just west of Denison,
when the fast mail train on the North
western railread collided with the car
riage III which they were riding,
practically wipes out of existence two
families in Crawford county. Six
happy people while returning from
the city to their home in the country
suddenly met their death while cross
ing the railroad tracks and the sew
enth member of the party was MANNED
to such an extent that if she survives
will remain cripple the remainder of
her natural life.
We wonder how long this slaughter
must continue before the people,
through the legislature, will demand
remedy which will'protect against
the Wholesale taking of human life.

in attempting to cross the tracks at
the time or the railroad companies
were blamable in operating their
trains.
There is no country in the world
where so many fatal accidents occur
at railroad crossings as in the United
States. The record OF deaths result
ing from these accidents is simply ap-
paling and the conclusion is inevi-
table that the railroads are not using
all of the care that might be used in
preventing accidents. We do not as
sert that the accident which occurred
at the McHenry crossing was the re-
suit of the carelesSnesS of the en-
gineer in charge of the train, neither
do We assert that the victims whose
lives were sacrificed We're blamable,
but we do insist that all of the care
required to avoid accidents was not
exercised or this unfortunate calam-
ity would probably not have come to
our community.
In the first place somebody is to
blame because these two crossings are
maintained. The question was agi-
tated few months ago about estab-
fishing q highway on the north side
of the railroad extending from what
is known as the Nash crossing and in
tersecting the highway at the Nc
Henry crossing, which would enable
all travellers living west and north of
the MctIenry crossing to avoid haV-
| ing to cross the railroad twice within
a few rods in order to get to their
homes. This Improvement could have
been taken up, but it was not made
and six or seven people have been
called into eternity because of the
| failure to make it.
How much longer will this improve
ment be delayed? If the death of the
several people who were killed on
Friday night will not cause this
change to be made, we imagine that
nothing would do so.
The railroad companies running
limited trains at high rate of speed
cannot longer escape the responsible
ity of providing greater safety to the
people in crossing their tracks and
especially where there are double
! tracks.
| 1t is alright to take chances with a
single line of railroad running two OF
three trains day. but where, as in
! the case OF the Northwestern, twenty
five or fifty trains day are passing
a given point, the danger is increased
to the extent that greater diligence
must be exercised by the railroad
Signals OF such a character as will
warn the driver of a vehicle of an ap
preaching train must be provided. The
signal which causes a gong to be
sounded would be great improve

Brown, dean of Yale Divinity School, gave an address upon ''The True De- hnftton of a Man.
 In part he said:
 t'How would you define a. man? Ev- cry young fellow must answer that question. Man has been defined as a victim of circumstances, a fighter against hostile condit1ons,a a producer or moneymaker and as a thinker bent on acquiring Knowledge. No one at his best Is servant of the com mon good. If you would define es- sentiaI manhood you must define 1t in terms of service If a man would be great let him serve.''
