as to show the traffic statistics in
miles, 1t should be taken into con-
slderation, = however, that the British
accident statistics above quoted do not
include journeys by holders Of season
tickets in the total of passenger jour-
neys; and in this class of travel a very
large proportion of the short-distance
traffic occurs. If we assume that the
average length Of a passenger journey
In Great Britain Is only a third OF that
in the United States, OF eleven miles
(Which is almost certainly far too low
when. season-ticket holders are exc1ud-
rate in railway passenger travel in the
United States nearly five times as great
as that on the railways of Great Bril-
tain.
It does not follow at all from these
figures, for example, that whenever u
traveller takes a railway journey in the
United States, he is in five times as
great danger Of death as he would be
in a British railway carriage. There is
a considerable mileage of railways In
the United States that is now so well
equipped and so we'll managed that the
casualty rate to passengers travelling
upon them probably approaches the
low figure cached on British railways.
in the United States is kept high by
the defective appliances and poor dis
cipline on many railways which suffer
from poor anagemen in one depart
ment or another. 1t Is fair to say also
HI the same situation exists to a GER
tain extent in Great Britain, where the
average for the whole country is held
down by the records OF tho roads with
poorer management. .r-

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
Proportion I'm United States IL Five
Times Greater Than I'm England.

Proportion i'm United States Ia Five
Times Greater Than I'm England.
Engineering News: While a far
greater number of passengers are kill
ed in getting on and off trains than in
all the train accidents combined, the
former class of accidents are due. in
most cases, to the carelessness of the
passenger himself. In order to COM
pare the relative safety of railroad
operation in the two countries, we
should consider only accidents for
which, the passenger Is in no way re-
sponsible.:
IN the year 1910, the Interstate Com
mercei commission statistics showed a
total of 1913 passengers Killed In train
accidents on the steam railways OF the
United States. During that year the
total number of passengers carried was
971, 6S3;199. It, therefore, appears that
in that year one passenger was killed
for each 4,900,0 600 passengers carried.
Turning now to Great Britain, tho
last available annual official report Of
the British board OF trade states that
the average rate of casualty to railway
passengers in train accidents during
the ten-year period ending in 1909, On
all the railways of Great Britain and
Ireland. WAS one passenger killed for
every z2,000,000 carried, or n rate Of
casualty less than one-fOurtcenth as
great as that in the United tSates.
1t Is objected, however, that a COM
parfson by the humber of passengers
since the average length of a railway
journey, Is much greater here than in
Great Britain. The length Of the aver
age passenger Journey In the United
States in 1910 was SO 1-2 miles. Statis-
tics Of British railways are not so kept

The Chance in Life TODAY.

From The Springfield Republican,:
EX-President Taft is very much at
the call Of the people Of the United
States just now, and this is, well. for
the country has need Of his ripe, phil
osophy. He was at Allentown. Pa.
the other day to address a. Masonic
gathering, where the grand lodge Of
f1cers OF Pennsylvania and New Jersey
Were present. An incident of this
visit was an address to the students of
two local colleges and the high school,
and a passage in that talk, touching
upon opportunity and service, Is well
worth carrying to a larger audience,
as follows:
I want to talk to you college boys
in this audience. If you speak with
some grabbed old fellow you may be
told there is no longer any chance in
the world for a young man; that the
day of opportunity has passed; that
you should have started out thirty
years ago. Such a statement is open to
many arguments, the principal one. Of
which is that it is not true. Let me
tell you that there " was a time
when there were such good oppor-
tunities. A ma who does his
duty, serves loyalty, does his
work for works sake, who deter
mines to make himself useful be it in
private or public life-such a man will
always get along, and his success and
reward are as certain as at any time
in the worlds history. If you think
your talent is not recognized and be-
come a grumbler, you will be like the
fifth Wheel Of a wagon. Be sure If
you do not deserve success, 1t will not
come to you. I went through It my
self. For four years after I got out Of
college ! thought I was u~nappreciated,
and then l woke up 1t was the most
valuable experience Of my life AS
soon as / lost my sense of Importance
and did my best to make myself use
full, the world began to appreciate me.
Let it be- a lesson-to you-men to make
UP your minds t~otserve, for the only
good in the world is service"

Votes for Families.

A new suffrage step is proposed by
Prof. Thomas C. Hall, of Union Theo-
logical seminary. writing in The Sur
vey for December. He suggests family
voting. The plan and arguments for
it he outlines as follows:
1.-THE vote should be given not to
male adults, but to everyone, man,
woman and child. Naturally children
so long as they remain children, would
be represented by the parents. The
mother would be the natural n fit
ting representative Of the daughters
so long aS they were immature, the
father would be the natural repre-
sentative of the immature sons. Ma
turity is not a matter of years., and
parents and teachers would be the
proper ores to decide when a boy or
girl had reached sIch maturity as the
community needed at the polls.
"Probably at some age there should
be conventional acceptance of matur-
ity, but parents and teachers might
agree that childhood and immaturity
had been ~outgrown long before that
time had come and advise the hand
ing over of the responsibility borne
by the parents and guardians to the
boy and girl. Boys and girls without
living. parents should have carefully
selected guardians to care for their
political interests.
"The advantages of such IN extern
sion of the franchise are many and
very weighty. In the first place Of
Importance must be put the emphasis
upon the family bond.
"The unmarried and childless mar
rfed man has undue weight because
he is unhampered as the father of q
large family is apt to be hampered.
This should be offset by a due in.
crease of political power in the hands
of the father and mother Of large
families. Ill.,. -.' .o,
Another advantage would be the
great incentive of such a franchise to
the proper political instruction of the
children. Family franchise would
make often definite and concrete the
all important question: What kind of
a world are we going to leave to our
children? ..
"To vote for children and in their
room and stead would in many cases
be the most proper education of the
voter for his larger social dutya Of

Methodists but has now passed into

Educational matters are we'll taken

structure of eight. rooms. Eight
teachers comprise the faculty and the

An eight years course is offered with
four years of high school additional.
Within the last year manual training
and domestic science courses have been
added. The school grounds have been
equipped with playground devices and
the grounds covering a full city block
makes a great gathering place for the
children. r5i
The commercial club Of the city has
an active membership and many of
the successful celebrations and
market days pulled Off during the last
years have been due, to the energy
and industry of its members. Many
of the male residents have organized
a social, club. Rooms are maintained
in the. .~operahouse block for reading,
billiards, cards, and other forms of
social amusement. Several times dur-
ing the winter season whist tourna-
ments are held with players from the
country districts.
The ladies of the city maintain a

state federation. Also a civic league

CAIRO /. SCHOOL
FINISHES With
TRIPLE VICTORY
Anna and Mounds Go Down to De.
feat, the "Suffsn Walioping
Mounds Girls.

The Cairo II. s. finished her bos
ket ball season by winning three
games last night OF Armory hall.
In perhaps the fastest game of
the season the first team defeated
the Anna team by a score of 4G to
30 while the second team played the
Mounds first team to the tune of 10
to IA in favor of the local boys. Fol
a curtain raiser the Cairo II. S, girls
defeated the Mounds girls "a to 3.
The came between the Anna and
Cairo teams was easily the feature
Iof the evening. 1t was fast and
lizard fought from start to finish and
at no time during the first three
fourths of the game were the local
! boys certain of victory.
! Capt. Kusener the.'Cairo star was
not able to be in the game on &C
count CT sickness. Walter Hall took
kuseneris place at center while
Landon a new man took Wester-
| mans place a. guard in order that
the later might take Halls place a,
forward.
The team was undoubtedly great
ly crippled by the absence of the biz
center but nevertheless the game
they put up last night shows that
Coach Ryan's proteges have been
coached to fight for victory until
the last whistle blows. This "bull-
dog persistence was undoubtedly one
of the assets that figured strong in
the game last night. Hall and
Westerman and Rink did good work
for Cairo while Thompson and
Mathles were probably the stars for
the visitors.
The Cairo II. s. second team easily
defeated the Mounds boys in fast
and interesting game. While this
game was not accompanied with
NEARLY as much enthusiasm as the
Anna-Cairo game, it possessed much
of what bakset ball fans like to sec.
Ireland and Bambrick were the
Cairo stars in this game while the
little Mounds forward came in for
his share of the stellar perform
ancc
The girls game was easily won by
the Cairo team. AT no time did the
outcome look doubtful. Schoembs
and Carkuff did the basket shootint.
