AN oFFEssE AGAINST SOCIETY AND Law

The unhappy occurrence near Chase.
burg, last Sunday morning, in which a
respected citizen lost his life on the
track of the Southeastern railway, reads
a lesson that will never be needed, il
seems. Why will people persist in tres
passing upon the roadbed of a railway
both dangerous and unlawful. 1t is
unfortunate that the old gentleman who
lost his life was defective in hearing,
otherwise he would doubtless have been
spared. But he had neither moral nor
legal right where he was. 1t is diff
cult for men in control of a train to
know what action to take when they
observe people walking on the roadbed
ahead of an approaching train. They
give the proper alarm, they expect the
parties to step from the track Must
they bring to a halt the heavy machin-
cry and all that it carries?
The custom of walking tracks is dan
gerous, it is positively unlawful, made
so by recent legislation. Why will peo-
pie persist in endsngering their lives.

RACE NsALARY RAISING AT MADISON

A bill was put through the last legis-
lature, giving the heads of departments
in the state government the privilege
Of fixing the salaries of their subordi-
mates. The writer opposed the bin
when it came before the assembly, urg-
ing that the power of fixing salaries
should be entirely in the Legislature, but
it was nicely explained that the object
Of the bill was to equalizs salaries in
the departments, and that the depart
ment heads knew more Of the value Of
the service rendered than the members
Of the legislature could possibly learn,
and the bin went through Now, with
in thirty days after the adjournment Of
the legislature, we read long lists OF
salary increases at the state capitol
the increases ranging from 800 to 5000
per annum. Probably from now on it
will be something Of a salary raising
match between the department heads
and the university regents as to which
can increase the greatest number Of
salaries in a given length Of time.
The high cost Of living, value of
expert" service, and many other rea-
sons will figure in each raise, but from
the start made thls far the high cost
Of living" seems to affect only those
who are already drawing the best sal
aries. The janitors, laborers, char
women and other wage earners at low
salaries do not seem to figure on the
increased cost of existance in the capt
toll city. We do not claim to know the
various reasons assigned for the in
creases which have been made, nor dc
we desire to condemn every increase
made in the state service, but it ought
to be apparent to almost anybody &C
quainted in the smallest degree with
the trend of events that if things al

Some dismal election morn the people
of the state may rise in anger, go e

hasn't been done since the fall of 1852
In such an event, even our civil service
