UNPROTECTED RAILROAD
CROSSINGS

"HE accident in which Mr.. S. Os-
good Pell and others lost their
lives on Sunday adds one more
to the long list Of disasters that have
occurred at unprotected railroad cross
ings. At the crossing in question,
which is on the Long Island Railroad
near what used to be called Jackal Is
land station, there were no gates; and
apparently the fagman, after being on
duty, it is said, for twelve hours, had
just quit work. There seems to be
some doubt as to whether the train
carried lights forward, and it is evil
dent that the chauffeur failed to hear
the whistle announcing its approach.
These questions will be determined
at the Coroner's inquest. They are by
no means irrelevant to the issue, but
they are not of the first importance.
That is that the only possible way of
insuring against accident at railroad
crossings is to have them protected by
gates. The tale Of killings up and
down the country as result of the
neglect of this precaution is mighty
long. The Interstate Commerce Com
mission ought to look into this COM
mon form of butchery-New York

DEATH AND THE HERO.

NOME to the bridal chamber. DEATH
Come to the mothers when she

~ For the first time her firstborn q

Come when the blessed seals
That close the pestilence are broke
And crowded cities wall its stroke;
Come in consumption's CHASTITY form.
The earthquakes shock, the ocean storm,
Come when the heart beats high and

With banquet song and dance and wine.
And thou art terrible. The tear,
The groan, the knell. the pail. the bier
And all we know or dream or fear
OF agony are thine.
But to the hero when his sword
Has won the battle for the free
Thy voice sounds like a prophets word,
And in its hollow tones are heard
The thanks of millions yet to be.

THE GAME OF MAKING GOOD

TN the game of making good there's
time limit.
= When we were seventeen the fut-
ure to us was world unexplored,
with time unlimited.
But at thirty-four or forty-seven
our perspective has changed.
We look into the future through
wiser eyes and are startled-time has
acquired boundary lines.
We look back at opportunities lost
at things done which we ought not
to have done-at things left undone
which we ought to have done-at long
hours and well meant labor which
proved profitless.
And it shows in our score.
We stand at the crest of the hill
the game is half over-to win we must
capitalize the future with experience
gathered from the past.
But we cannot afford to miss even
one opportunity.
There is a limit-a time limit and
every day, every hour, every minute is
reducing just that much our chance of
rolling up good score in the game Of
making good.
We can't afford to go through the
year not knowing whether we are win
ming, playing even or going behind.
A year is 365 precious days, 760
hours, the best days and hours Of our
life-and we can't coax them back.
If we are losing we want to know
today, SO that tomorrow we can
change the trump"
And next week we want to know
how much we profted by the change.
If we investigate we find that a
large percentage of all failures are
due, not to lack of ambition, ability or
hard work, but rather to each mans
ignorance of the actual condition of
his own particular business.
Further Investigations convinces US
that the great majority of small re-
tailers are capable, hard working
business men, working in the dark,
waiting for the end of the year to find
out if their score has gone up or down
in the game of making good.
But we find the man who is making
a "killing" men with the best
score-is the man who labors less and
thinks more, the man who systematic
es, who installs a proper accounting
system, the man who knows which
clerk deserves a raise and which
should be fired, who knows which lines
should be discontinued and which
pushed.
He is the man who knows this week
what he made last week.
He is managing.
We have the same opportunity.
What he is doing we can do; we
have the same condition, ability and
energy.
But we must be up and doing; we've
reached the crest of the hill, and
