Hallway Casualties

The first compilation of statis-
tics OH railroad accidents in Colo
RADIO shows that during the past
fiscal year there were 7.161,514
passengers handled on the railroads
in this state without single one
being killed. Thee figures are COM
piled from the official reports OF
twenty-seven companies operating
6.444.12 miles of track in the
state, to the state railroad commits
sion.
There was a total of ia persons
of all classes killed and 1874 in
jured in the state during the year.
OF that number only "a. or .82
per cent were railway employees kill
ed by accidents resulting from the
movement of trains. Sixty-eight or
$3.50 per cent of the total number
killed. representing oosiderably
more than half of the total, were
trespassers upon railway property.
and persons who were neither pas
sengers or employees. Twelve. or
1852 per cent OF the deaths were
industrial accidents in the shops. in
handling traffic. machinery, tools.
and supplies by causes other than
accidents resulting from the move
ment of trains. More than half OF
the injuries were also industrial
accidents.
OF the thirty-four employees kill
ed In accidents resulting from the
movement of trains. 47.06 per cent.
or nearly half were caused by the
employees falling from, or being
struck by trains. locomotives or
cars. Seven. or 11.76 per cent of
the total, met death in derail-
ments. most of which. such as are
caused by land and rock slides.
breaking of rails, or locomotives or
ear wheels. or softening of tracks
by washouts. are classed as nonpre-
venta BILE accidents.
comparison with the railroads
of the United States show that 318
passengers were killed during the
year on all the railroads OF the
country while none were killed in
Colorado. There were $40 EN-.
ployes especially exposed to acci-
dents in Colorado for one killed
and $500 for one injured as COM
pared with $50 employed to one
killed and $40 for one injured on
all roads in the United States re-
porting to the interstate commerce
commission. In other words the
element of safety to that class of
employees was 35 per cent greater
in this state than in the nation as
a whole. There were 641 en-
ployes of all kinds. including of
ficers, in Colorado for one killed
and 20.17 for one injured as com
pared with 476 employed for one
killed and 1910 for one injured.
In the United States as a whole
In other words the element Of safe.
ty to all railway employees in Col
orado during the past fiscal year
was 26 per cent greater than to
employees In the United States as
a whole.

ers is the one distressing feature

ayers are to a large extent help

of having it enacted so as to aid
them In preventing this needless

wac surety on his official bond;
that the publishing company was
the owner and publisher of the on
ly daily newspaper in that county;
that it was entitled to have pub
lished and that 1t was the duty of
the county clerk to publish therein,
for at least six successive days prior
to the election of November, 1910,
the list of all the nominations to
office to be voted for at that
election as provided in Section
2159 Rev. Stat; that the publishing
company demanded of the clerk
that he publish this list in the said
daily newspaper for six successive
days prior to the election. which
the county clerk, in breach of his
duties in that behalf, delayed and
refused to do. whereby the publish
ing company was damaged.
To this complaint demurrer was
filed. on the ground that the COM
plant did not state facts sufficient
to constitute a cause of action. This
demurrer was sustained by the
court, and the plaintiff refused to
further plead; whereupon, the COM
plant was dismissed and Judgment
rendered against the plaintiff for
costs.
1t is the contention of the plain
of the county clerk to publish the
list of nominations in the daily
newspaper, and II the clerk would
have performed his duty in that
behalf the paper would have receiv-
ed from the county, in payment for
such publication. the sum OF 1912
and that because the plaintiff re-
fused to publish It the publishing
company was damaged in that sum.
The defendants IN error deny that
the statute imperatively required
the clerk to publish the list in a
daily newspaper. We will not de-
termine this. but wiz assume that
the statute required that the
clerk should publish the list in a
daily newspaper If there was one
published in his county. The plain
tiff in error contends that while
the duty of the county clerk to pub
lish the list of nominations in the
daily newspaper was a public duty,
yet in this public duty was iinvolv-
ed also a duty to the publishing
company. and that the latter had
suffered a special and peculiar in
jury by reason of the non-perform-
ance of the duty by the county clerk
on the principle announced in Cool
ey on Torts (3rd Ed P. 757, and
% Am. and Eng.E ENJOY. of Law,
p. 379. Gage vs.. Springer, Il N.
E. $50, is cited to show the applica-
bility of that principle to this
case. There, however. the indi-
vidual has paid special assess
ment for a public Improvement OF
certain quality and the public
official had corruptly permitted the
substitution OF an inferior and
cheaper quality. The publishing
company. in this instance, did not
part with any special consideration
o obtain the publication, nor is
the clerk charged with any corrup-
tion in failing to publish.
The statute requiring the clerk
to publish the list OF nominations
was clearly intended for the ben
eft of the public and not for the
benefit of newspapers. The bene-
fit to the latter was only inciden-
tai. Certainly the law was not
passed with the idea of benefiting
publishers. So that the duty i'm
posed was purely public one.
When the duty imposed upon an Of
ficer is one to the public only,
its non-performance must be a pub
lie prosecution of some kind, II at

MERCHANTS FESTIVAL
Madison Business Men Will En-.
terrain Citizens of County
Dec. 3 and d.

In line with other first-class towns
of the state, the business men OF
Madison have decided to keep open
house two days this fall and have
settled upon Wednesday and Thurs
day, Dec. 8 and 4, as the dates. A
meeting of business men to the number
of about forty was held at the com.
mercial club rooms last evening al
which preliminary steps we're taken
to hold a "merhants' festival" to
which every citizen of the county il
publicly invited.
The meeting was organized by the
election of W. T. Searns. chairman,
H. A. Stahl being appointed score
tary.
A committee of finance was ap.
pointed, consisting of Geo. Beck, Fl.
], Munro, Crist Renscb, s. P. Seller.
son, W. A. Drake.
Entertainment committee-E. l..
Kingsley, L. 8. Martin, JOS. Henkin,
c. f. Olstad, j. G. Schultz.
These committees are expected to be
in charge of the festival, with such as,
sistance as they may require. The
program of entertainment has not been
fully completed. But it has been de-
cided to give free dinner to all the
visitors on both days of the festival
and free tickets to the Ruby theatre
in the afternoons of both days. A
bowery dance will also be held on
both evenings of the festival. Other
features of entertainment decided upon

classes that are a part of the high
school work this year.
To say that MIR. Hamilton and Miss
Vera Louise Beck. who have this
work in charge in Sioux City are en-
thusiastic is putting it mildly Their
faces fairly radiate enthusiasm when
they talk of their work.
Sioux City is keeping up with the
times and will introduce this work in
to the second year high school work.
The essentials of four years study have
been condensed to the extent that the
youths who take this work this year
will have q comparatively full course.
Learn to Know Thy Self" might
be taken as the motto of the class for
their first step is called ''autobio-
graphy." There are 45 in the two
classes that are being taught at the
Armstrong school. by Miss Beck, and
they are now taking a series of close
personal questions. These questions
cover their lives, intimately; going
back to their ancestry. Through these
they learn to know their W ideas,
manners, inclinations, health, habits,
likes and dislikes, ambitions and, in
fact. all that goes to make up the
life OF a boy or girl. These things
are not made public for there is where
the teacher" is unique. She is not
a teacher. Her correct title is ''coun-
selor. and all of these are kept by
her with great privacy. There is no
exposure of foibles and secret ambi-
tions before the others of the class.
The work is not theoretical, on the
contrary it is practical in its every
step.

they consider themselves a kind OF

The prosperity of a town or city, in

you would see a large advertisement,
This factory vas brought to the city

That's business; both the factory

important factor in the prosperity Of
a town. or city, is, where business

why is It That Guilty Priests
and Nuns Are Not Compelled
to Come Into Court?

AT GuIfport, Miss, last week, a priest
"a named A. Kuhn was tried for assault and
battery on has sister.
Judge Rankin tried the case, but the priest
aoaS not present.
Judge Rankin heard the evidence, and the
attorney of the priest pleaded guilty for him,
but the priest acaS never brought into court.
Judge Rankin passed sentence on the
absent "hoIy one of God" imposing a fine of
500. on the "holy one Of Cod" for getting
drunk and beating his sister, black and blue.
The "holy one of God" certainly got off
light, and was never compelled to show his
face IN court
WHY?
I have noticed that these priests and nuns,
accused of crime, never are seen in the court
room.
WHY IS THIS?
Only one more step can special privilege of
this sort take, and that is-to demand that
our secular courts keep their hands off priests
and nuns, altogether.
