RAMRoAp. CROSSINGS.

Every grade crossing accident calls attention to the need of eliminating such intersection oG railroad and high way There are great numbers of these death traps without fiagmen throughout the country where lives are continually being taken and the great burden of the responsibility is placed upon the railroads. This is probably the natural thing to do. It is at any rate resulting in the re- movaI of many including the worst, each year through the construction of the highway either above or under the railroad tracks. 1t results in a marked din1fnution of the number of grade crossing fatalities.
 While the only thing to do is to remove sucffs crossings, it is neverthe- less fact that too little responsi- biIity Is assumed by the drivers of vehicles when approaching and cross ing railroad tracks. A great many of the accidents which occur at such places are attributable to the users of the highway, who pay little or no at tentton to signs or signals and. in some instances even insist upon rushing past f1agmen and gates with full knowledge of the risk that is being taken. Such counting of danger and
 display of recklessness are fragrant examples. but typical of the disinclina-
 ton to stop. look and listen. In too
 many instances is there a disposition to take lightly the responsibility of crossing a railroad. The elimination of crossings will abolish such dangers,
 but until 1t is possible to see the last one go, over-caution instead of wilful disregard of danger should prevail upon the part of all drivers.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Limit of Wise savina.

In his serious, delightful book Sam uel Smiles tried hard to lay down rules and fix boundaries for the thrifty saver. But, he never became very definite and that was fortunate.
 Tt is difficult" he wrote, "to fix the precise limits of economy. Bacon says that if a man would live well within his income he ought not to expend more than one-half and save the rest
 This is perhaps too exacting; and Bacon himself did not follow his own advice. What proportion of ones in- come should be. expended on rent That depends upon circumstances. In the country about one-t tenth; in Lon don about one-sixth.
 Tt is, at all events, better to save too much than spend too much One may remedy the first defect, but not so easily the latter
 To know what you take in and what you spend-and how it is earned and spent-is important. So keep accounts and put down everything. John Wes- ley did that with his own small in- come A year before his death he wrote in his journal of expenses:
 For more than eighty-six years l have kept my accounts exactly. I dc not care to continue to do so any lon ger, having the conviction that I econ omize all that l obtain and give all that l can-that is to say, all l have '
 Do as well as John Wesley did and the matter of how much out of your income will be saved may safely be left to your own judgment No one is going to continue recording ex- penditures for foolish and extravagant

THEN-and-NOW

Forty-six years ago yesterday the first official test of dynamite in England was made. The hills around Marstham shook beneath the mighty vibrations of a new ex- plosive born to civilization. It had been discovered by Alfred Nobel of Sweden and it's experimental tests made in the preceding year. Nobel created it to take the place of the untamed tro-glycerin which had appalled, the world for several years with its grim tragedies. The in ventor had lost his father and brother when his nitro -glycerin factory had blown up a few years before his discovery It's death toll was such that England, Belgium and Sweden forbade its manufac- ture. The world was aroused when as a climax to it's record a ship loaded with nitro -glycerin blew up in mid-ocean while on it's way from Europe to Chilli. and the govern n1ent were on the point of prohibit ing it's use. It was then that Nobel began his experiments toward tam ing nitro glycerin- and created dynamite, or giant powder" as it was first called in the United States. In his world wide propa- ganda to convince governments that dynamite was a safe explosive, tie inventor came to America. It was while he was registering at small hotel in New York that he casually exclaimed to the hotel clerk that his satchel contained dyamite. The clerk firmly ordered Nobel to seek other quarters, and was relieved when he went out of the door.

LAWS SHOULD BE ENFORCED.

Laws are made to accomplish needed reforms, but they amount to nothing unless they are respected or enforced For e certain number to live up to the requirements while others are per- Yfritted to do as they please, and as they would regardless of the protection which 1t is sought to give, amounts to little or nothing. The vfolators are the ones against whom the laws are directed those in fact who make new legislation necessary, and they, like the rest, should be made to observe the provisions.
 Those are pertinent questions which have been asked by Sportsman con- corning the duties of the officials re- specting the fish and game protec- tion The task of the game wardens, it must be realized, Is not an easy one, but such only increases the respon- sfbility of accepting such appoint ments. The creating and filling of such offices amounts to nothing un- less the laws are to be upheld. Where no attempt is made to punish the vio- lators or to keep down the breaking of the law. there is no incentive to obedience to the laws dictates. 1t is just the same with the fish and game laws as with all other restrictions for protection or for safety, just so long as there is inactivity upon the part of the authorities violations become the rule and the law farce. If fish, ing and hunting are to be restricted for one, they should be for all, and those who are vested with the author ity should enforce such restriction and give the honest sportsman a square d&Ml

COSTLY BUT PROFITABLE LES
 SON

Though theeend of the New Havens troubles has not been reached, it is evident from the revelations which have been made that the manipuhtion of that system, is going to prove an object lesson against any further re- sort to that kind of railroading in this country.
 The probe with the confessions which were made, has revealed meth ods which wele highly injurious to the road itself and to those who were interested therein. It was an unwise test of ideas. wfthch were not only un- profitable to those whose money was involved, but were illegal under the existing laws. It is unfortunate that such a policy could not have been checked before 1t advanced to it's linn it. and before such vast sums of money were permitted to vanish into thin air.
 The lesson hast already been suffi- cient for the pres ent management and the future of thei system is bound to be along vastly different lines. Such has been indicetaed following the change and it has the confidence of the people of New sEngland. To other railroad promoters the old New Ha- ven is going to stand out boldly as an example to be .shunned and it is safe to assume that there will be no immediate efforts to put into operation any such scheme em the railroad sys- terr1s of this country. Even though the revelations have brought forth many costly surprises. there must also he A certain amount of profit

Today dynamite is being manu- factured in the United States at the rate of 25o,000,000 pounds a year. Filling 5000 freight cars, it Is con stantly being transported over the railroads of the country Though it is the third most powerful explo- sives in general use, it has been tanned so that railFead companies receive it for transporta ton almost as readily as they do coal. Nitro glycerin, however, is still under the transportation ban in both the United States and Europe. Dyn- amite is today one of the most im- portant factors in the progress of civilization. Without it the mighty engineering achievements of the Panama Canal. the mountain and river tunnels-could not be accom- plished. It takes an important part in building the modern sky scrappers; it is used to mine the necessary huge quantities of iron and other metals that enter into structures. It blasts out the mil lions of tons of coal that supply heat, light and power, and give life. to the locomotives that bring food and clothing to the populace of cities. It is helping to grow the food we eat-the modern scientific farmer uses it to blow his land, it's explosions shattering the sub-soil which no blow ever reaches. It Is said to increase the crops greatly in quality and at by 50 per cent. in quantity Today dynamite is used to fight great confiagrations, to fight wars and to prepare for large part of the progress of the world.

CHANGING CONTROL IN MEXICO.

A great many hopes have been aroused by the declarations which have been credited to General Huerta that he was about to resign the pro- visfonal presidency of Mexico, but none more so than by the last am nouncement from Mexico City and the manner in which it is proposed to turn over the control.
 Whether 1t comes about through the abdication of Huerta or by the con quest of the city, the constitutional ists are destined to control. From the success of their campaign and the strength of their forces, it is impos- sible to check their advance. All that remains to be determined is how the inevitable shall take place The ef- forts henceforth should be devoted ia the prevention of needless slaughter and the sacking of cities. Mexico has already felt the severe effects of such war accomplishments and now. witt, the knowledge that the end of Huertas control is near, the best contribution which can be made to the good of Mexico is to arrange for the delivery of the capital peacefully instead of following a bloody fight.
 The rebels are firm in their insist ence upon surrender, which is not to be expected directly from the crafty Huerta. That he should resign in ia vor of Cabajal ought, however, to open the way for the early surrender .. the government to Carfanza and his forces and the setting up of a govern n1ent which would gain the recosni ton of this and other nations, a re- quirement which the recent history O. that republic shows to be quite neces. sary to its stability

 through it's control of their customs and the fact that it would be looked to before any foreign country sought to step in there for the collection of it's debts. the responsibility which rests with the United States is not small In either of the republics.
 The situation over the uprisings is further hamEsered by the condition of the finances in both republics. Po- litical graft, and lack of efficiency and economy in directing the government affairs have brought them to an un- enviable position when under proper conduct they should both be prosper ous countries.

HAITI AND sANTo DOMINGO.

The ordering of seven hundred marines to Haiti causes no surprise in view of the unsettled state of af- fairs, both in that country and Santo Domingo. It is difficult to tell in which republic they are going to be needed first, but 1t is a wise provision which places them at an available point for any emergency which may arise where needed protection for life and property would be required.
 Though entirely precautionary, il has been portended for some time. The unrest in that island, coupled with the financial conditions has given this country concern for no little time It Is still a problem which may re- uuire the invasion of the island before there is an end to the revolutionary activities.
