The force of the collision was sufficient
to separate the horse from the wagon,
and when found the animal was wedged
beneath the forward end of the heavy
street car. while the damaged wagon
was on the opposite side of the car. The
rear axle of the wagon was broken and
the rear wheels twisted out of shape.
Passengers who alighted from the car
following the crash. looked for the
driver. lighting matches and searching
beneath the car, but found no trace OF
him.

He must have been killed. was the
comment of another bystander.
While the passengers were searching
for him the driver was found in the
damaged and partly overturned wagon

Berkely Inge. Smallwood had retained
his seat throughout the excitement.

bridge at sd and streets southeast about
1:30 o'clock last night, and. becoming
frightened, started to run. Mr.. Haas en-
deavored to check the animal but was
unsuccessful. He jumped from the car

The car that struck the wagon was also
proceeding north, and 1t was going so fast
the motorman was unable to bring it to a
stop until 1t had showed the outfit fifty
feet ahead.
An electric lamp near the scene OF the
accident displayed no light last night, and

and wagon appeared on the northbound
track a short distance In front OF the

When the motorman applied his emer-

suddenly that a number of the many

South Washington to the business section
to do their Easter shopping, were thrown
forward from their seats. None of them

able to learn, and none of them knew
there was danger of an accident until

This brings to mind proposition
that we believe goes to the opposite
extreme That is, the proposed law
to make walking along railroad
track a misdemeanor, that has been
introduced into the legislature sew
eral times with the purpose Of les
SEEMING the number of deaths of
trespassers. We think such law
would be mistake until the state
is much better provided with roads
than it is at present, because to a
man in the possession of his faculties
there is no danger in walking along
a railroad right-of way, and often the
saving in distance to the pedestrian
amounts to many miles. The man
who can take care of himself should
not be penalized because there are
those whose hearing is defective or
who take along too big a load of
'forty-rod" for company. The very
people the law is proposed to pro-
tect would be the first to break it,
A man who hasn't any more horse
sense than to lay down on railroad
track to take a nap ought to be
killed.

Representative Bathrick, of

Representative Bathrick, of Ohio,
proposes that the government lend
money to farmers at Az per cent.
interest rate, secured by farm land
mortgages, and take the profit to
build good roads. The government
could borrow this money at rate
not to exceed 312 per cent. by the
issue of registered bonds. This would
certainly give an impetus to the inn
provement of farms and would be a
wonderful aid to the back to the
farm" movement. At present the
trend is Enthusiastically toward the
city and agriculture is shown by
the census figures to be actually
waning in proportion to the increase
in population. and the progre SIS in
other lines of industry This condi-
ton is one of the greatest causes of
the increasing cost of living. If ag-
riculture does keep pace with the

need to be much of student OF

manner in which the lighting con-

and the contract, but apparently
found pleasure in making frequent
sarcastic illusions to the editor of
the News-Budget personally We
thought the contract entered into

Ladysmith is Defe ated

Ladysmith and Bruce tried for
honors in football for the first time
last Sunday at Bruce. Both teams
played game that was exciting to
the last and from a spectators view
point, the winner seemed doubtful
until the game had ended. The
county seat boys showed more prac-
tice and science, but as Bruce was
heavier and had a sWifter team, the
result was that Ladysmith lost the
game by two touch downs and a
goal kick, or equivalent to a score
of II to 0.

one wants to think Otherwise-in
the classic words of the Journal, let

consumers" we have surely no reas-

contract conceived in political in
trigue and born in the rankeSt in
iquity, even if business men like
the members of the council could
have any motive in entering into
such contract. But we do feel called
upon to defend ourselves and to some
extent the council from what we
have termed the TRADE of abuse
INDUCED in by the Journal. If the
attack of the Journal doesn't merit
that description, what is a TRADE
OF abuse?" The Journals columns
have been full of charges of gross
incompetence and dereliction to du-

eral nature, against the council.
