AT L have here IN Wilmington thousands Of men aud
who engaged in callings in which
the element of danger exists a greater or lesser
degree In the discussion OF accidents and the trial
Of tort we hear much said about negligence
and contrbutory negligence as being the underlying
of such accidents and litigations Within the
last week prominent railroad official who has much
do with tort claims said that nine-tenths of
the accidents in the transportation and industrial
fields due 10 carelessnesa and utter partial
disregard or violation of the rules and regulations
making for human safety.
The working and women Wilmington have
it within their power 10 put end to much of tho
physical suffering and death in the local field by
operating with employers in the so-caod safety-hrst
movement that is attracting much attention
all sections Of the United States Such coopera-
tion. which would be both sensible and natural, not
only would stand between wage-earners and danger
and death. but also protect the pockets of both en-
ployers and employees, and in the aggregate result in
the saving of large amounts of money.
In a technical magazine we find the following pledge
which, think should be read carefully and taken
by every and in Wilmington who IS en-
gagged in a pursuit that contains the element OF per
sona hazard:
l. a laborer will hole fast TO all rules promul-
gated for safety.
win never take a chance when safe way will
prevent accident.
pledge myself In so far as accidents are concerned
TO be protectonist
VIII always do all can 10 STOP the loss OF IRE anu
to prevent accidents
!, in the interest of myself and fellows will cult-
yate safety habits.
I will never work about machinery until l advise
myself Il T. safe.
I viii never impoyerish my family reduce my
earning capacity by being careless.
! will not take chance at the risk of my life or
injury to my body
| viii always protect myself where pieces of metal
liable to hy and strike my eyes by wearing Cog
giles.
/ will always defend the principles Of safety first
! believe It Is better to be careful than careless
| will always assist fellow laborer in advising him
TO be careful
I viii preach to my fellows care, then ranks viii
not be filled by the careless.
will for my family by being careful
will hold safety thoughts paramount TO all others.
I will never do careless act which is liable to
injury
! will be in the safety for the preserva-
tion of life much protecting my country or
family.
will be first in the safety army, fighting to drive
the careless from its ranks
II all the wage-earners in Wilmington would take
that pledge and live up to It, the accident wards in
hospitals practically would be put out Of business
Would it not be well for the employers of labor and
the unions to have copies of that pledge printed and
circulated for signers to the end that the safety
movement may be brought home to each and wo.
man engaged in a calling which embraces the ee.
ment Of hazard?

NEEnEp-A HOspIrAL SIM.

THERE is opportunity for some wealthy
Delawarean to distinguish himself by giving a
site for the proposed new Physicians and Surgeons
Hospital which has become so popular in the public
mind that It has outgrown its present building at
Eighth and Adams streets The board of managers,
a result Of its campaign for funds last Fall has
in hand enough money to justify It in going ahead
with the new building, but it hasn't enough to war
rant it in purchasing site and proceeding with the
construction work.
Since the hospital was founded it and the dspensary
attached TO it have given relief in thousands of cases.
II also may be said in its behalf that has done much
charity work in the clinic, the wards and the dis
pensary. When an institution of that sort has placed
itself in such position that nothing stands between
it and buildings except a suitable site surely
there must be liberal-hearted man or woman in
Delaware who will provide the ground needed so the
construction work may 90

COUNTY WANTS
LAND FOR NEW
BRIDGE APPROACH

The New Castle County Levy
Court today began making prepara-
tions for the building of the proposed
new bridge across the Christiana
River at Third street To obtain the
square bounded by Church, Third ana
Fourth streets for the western ap
proaches to the bridge Mr.. Burris
presented the following resolution in
court this morning:
Resolved, That the county engineer
be instructed and authorized TO pro-
ceed TO arrange TO make an agreement
between the Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington Railroad Company.
the present owners of the tract OF
land. bounded by Third, Fourth ano
Church streets and the Christiana
River; and the Levy Court of New
Castle county. State of Delaware;
whereby the said court may acquire
the said tract OF land from the saiu
railroad company.
When the former Levy Court con-
ferred with the Railroad Company re-
garding the purchase of this land the
price was placed at $4,000 The
idea now is to secure the whole lot
so that after the approach is taken off
there will still remain enough land for
a park The present park is very
popular with the residents of the east
side of the city. Hence the Levy
Court in considering the question of
securing the land for the approach
decided to secure the whole plot and
give the people a park along the
Christiana.

SENATOR dupONT WINS ONCE MORE.

TINTED States Senator Henry A. duPont's heroic
- fight in Congress and out OF Congress for JUS
tce for Ralph l. sasse, Of this city, and three other
cadets who expelled from the West Point
Military Academy because they crann little
blackberry wine when out hike, has advanced
another step. The courtmartial convened to retry
them has recommended that they be reinstated at a
time agreeable to Secretary of War Garrison and that
they be given their original standing in their
classes 1t is not thought that the Secretary Of War
will delay long in ordering their reinstatement that
the act of injustice done the young may be
tilted as completely as possible
The expulsion Of the cadets aroused nationwide in
terest and resentment It was regarded by most per-
sons rank injustice that four promising young
should be driven from the academy in disgrace and
their military future destroyed simply because they
had INDUCED in little wine. If they had gotten
drunk and demeaned themselves in public to
disgrace the service, the act of expulsion perhaps
would not have excited the public interest and adj
comment that It did. There was, however
nothing Of that sort The extreme penalty was in
nicted upon them for merely indulgng in a small
drink of the wine in out-ofthe way place In fact
the public knew nothing about It and would have
known nothing about it had it not been for desire
of certain connected with the academy to punish
the cadets severely It was not until TIE first court
martial, being msled to its discretionary power
in the matter, had made finding which led to the ex-
pulson OF the four defendants that those who we're
eager to punish them realized that they had over
reached and national martyrs Of the lads SEN
ator DUPONT and others took mp the fight to have the
great wrong rghted Step by step the struggle pro-
ceeded. Obstacle after obstacle was surmounted
And now. after many months Of fighting the work of
the first court-martia has been upset and IL only
mains the Secretary OF War to say the final word
