Madison Notes

Madison, Wis, April 70. (SpeciaD
"A bill has been introduced IN the
senate placing heavy penalty upon
railroad companies for placing wood
en- cars between heavy steel coaches
in interstate trains. Congress re-
Gently passed bill directing that
all new cars for interstate business
be made of steel after 1917. This
was the LaFollette bill, with amend
ments that extended the time so
that it is of little immediate effect
except as club over the railroads
to compel them to give safety to the
railway mail clerks and the travelling
public more consideration. 1t is
hoped that Congress will amend the
new law prohibiting the construct
ing of wooden cars at an earlier
date,
The bill introduced at Madison
has the backing of the railway mail
clerks and travelling mems associa-
tions, and will have general support
from the progressives in the legisla-
ture. Wisconsin is the first state
to take up this question, and will
lead the states in regulating the
great question of public safety. In
almost every train wreck, including
several recent wrecks in Wisconsin,
lives have been lost by the telescop'
ing of wooden cars by steel cars.
New Schools
It seems certain that there will be
three additional county training
schools for teachers provided for by
the legislature at this session and
one new normal school, the location
of which was established at Eau
Claire by preceding legislature

Roses In the DAYS Work.

To the attention of those persons who
believe they have done all they should
do when they have worked the speci-
fed number of hours and performed
the duties specified In their bonds the
example of w. III. Bancroft, vice presi-
dent of the Salt Lake road. is respect
fully referred.
When Mr.. Bancroft was younger
man he acted as agent at way station
in a deserted part of the west. One
day the president Of the road happened
to stop and noticed, to his surprise. that
instead of the usual bare surroundings
the small shack was literally set In a
bower Of roses. He went inside. took a
look at Bancroft, got his name and put
him down for promotion.
"a man who will take such care of
company property would be good
man in a higher place." he said as the
train pulled out. And Mr.. Bancroft
has been going higher ever since.
There are good many ways of plant
ing roses about our everyday work
Anyway, it's an experiment worth the
trying.-New York American.

zine. devotes several pages to boosting
the Midland trail. with pictures and de-
scriptions of Utah attractions.
