that a. Washington City national
bank accuses secretary NIcAdoo of
the United States Treasury and John
Shelton Williams, comptroller Of the
currency, of attending to wreck II.
The court bill in the case recites
that several months ago Secretary
McAdoo charged officers of the bank
with responsibility for publications
regarding the official conduct of Viii
liams. This was denied and then
McAdoo cursed a Vice president OF the
bank and then made threats against
the bank. Since then, the bill recltes
an unusual number of reports have
been cxacted OF the bank and tnes
have been imposed for not making
these unnecessary reports.

Williams. # the charges be true. Ger

been discovered in the dust known
AS .tailings" which pile almost noun

material has long been regarded as

Der merchants were spending thous-

Stunning their saWdust to prevent its

..TASK- TOWNS.

Oliver Goldsmith's Deserted VIII
lage' has generally been accepted
as the greatest picture in all litera-
zture Of a lonely and desolate human
hnbitation, but il Goldsmith could
have seen one Of those western towns
chucked down beside a railroad track
like something thrown away and for
gotten, having no excuse for its e1-a
istsnce but a railroad station manned
by one operator. he might have writ
ten a greater poem yet.
Tank is the technical appe1lation
for such an establishment in the
terse and racey Technology Of the
great southwest, but the name is in
this case more literal than hyperboli-
ical. A great red tank, where the To-
acomotives that come painting and
snorting across the desert stop to fill
their iron bellies, is the most impoT-
tant adjunct TO the place The little
station house where the telegra ph OPP
orator, one of the loneliest men on
earth, sits Gathering away on his in
strument is obviously mere adjunct
to the tank. It is under the tank the
unfortunate hobo, who is kicked off
the train at-this station, takes up his
lodging for night and carves there
the cabalistic signs warning others of
the great fraternity Of Vagab bonds that
this is no place to stop.
IN the great southwestern desert
country where The population is
scarce, these tank towns may be forty
.hfty or hundred miles apart. The
men who live at them are as isolated
las Crusoe on his island, for the pas
senEer trains never stop there. but
simply show their ,scorn by roaring
through at sixty miles an hour with
"a contemptuous foot. leaving the des-
Iert night vaster and emptier than

Dead Mans Curve !,

IA @
Let It be hoped that in the hearing
before the city council regarding the
imperative necessity for the installa-
ton of gates or other safety devices
at dangerous railroad crossings i n the
city. the issue will not be cloudel
with silly claims about the automatic
bell that the railroad has at the West
Milford road crossing III the West
End, Familiarity known as Dead
Mans Curve"
From personal observation, the
Telegram knows something about the
automatic bell device there, aud In
the opinion Of this newspaper the APP
paTatus is more of menace than
anything else. The bell either rings
all the time, or remains continu-
ously silent with the result that no
BODY pays any attention TO the
thing ut all. As a means of warn
ing persons OF the approach of a
train, the device is conspicuous fail
ure. The Telegram counts 1T a mir
sacle, or series OF miracles, that a
train has not as yet struck an auto
mobile full OF people and killed them
In fair weather when people are
out automobile riding in large NUM-
Der. one may stand at the West Mil
ford road crossing and observe that
driver after driver of automobiles
pays no attention to the ringing OF
the bell, when il does ring Neither
is the same precaution followed as
that always taken by the traction
conductors, who always stop street
cars before crossing the track. walk
ahead anL see whether the track is
clear before allowing the car to cross.
Every body takes chance. Not
one in ten times will the driver Of q
Hestbound automobile get out and
Inspect tho railroad track and not
once in q hundred will he get out
and inspect the track when east
bound. To the westbound driver or
Passenger scarcely any of the track is
visible owing to the curve
Time and again representatives OF
this newspaper have ridden across
that dangerous crossing in automo-
Diles, have heard The automatic bell
ringing and have watched and waited
some time but have neither heard nor
seen any sign Of an approaching or
departing railroad train At other
times the bell has been silent With a
train in sight on the track. At other
times. Whistlings. factory sounds and
noises Of trains in the vicinity. III so
loudly echoed by the neiEhboring
hills, that the clang Of the automatic
bell is com pletely drowned.
1t may be that the automatic bell
can and does operate successfully If
SO. the railroad company seems to
have been at fault in allowing it TO
get out OF order. III may also be the
case that there are switching opera
tons SO near the bell that II is on
Grated when there is no necessity.
The fact remains. however. that few
pay any attention TO the thing as a
safety device. Almost any automobile
driver hereabollt can testify TO this.
Even taxing it for granted that the
automatic bell does its work prop
erlr, it is plain to everyone that con-
.dltinns at this crossing are such as TO
render il an mad eauate safety device
for the public. The real need OF the
crossing. in the opinion Of the Tele-
sram as formed from hundreds OF
complaints made TO it, is either a SET
OF safety gates. There appears to be

Abolishing Iecbnicalities.

An effort Is being made in Illinois
to enact a law for the simplihcation
ofindictmcnts or TO remove technical
words and phrases that SO often OBJ
5scure the plain u eaninE Of an indict-
ment. This effort is being opposed
by what the Ohio State Journal dubs
sa lot Of lazy. Toutine-ridden, short
sighted LAWYERS, Who are afraid that
IL the bill Becomes Il law it will hurt
their business, because the more alb
strusities there are III law the more
having there is. The true, high
mind ed lawyer favors the elimination
of all these Unnecessary technical YER
bosities. but his influence iii the leEis-
lature seems to be overcome by shall
low lawyers.
The Columbus Newspaper declares
these men are a disgrace to their PRO
5fession, which is a noble one, if not
pulled down to selGsh ends as is 80
often the case. The technical words
md phrases and the long rigamarole
used to describe an ofTense iii many
states stand in the way OF an en-
torcement OF the law and do much 10
burden the people. They too often
provide easy loopholcs through which
wealthy or influential wrongdoers
may escape Just punishment. The
Ohio State Journal calls upon the
farmers and Workin gmen. Of its state
to take up the matter, as the nuisance
EXISTS there. too, aud strive to correct
1T by electing intelli gent and IN selhsh
ment to represent them in the lesisla-
ture. That seems 10 be about the
best way to get at the root OF the
Complaint

Truth Sins Out.

The Wheeling Register thought SO
well OF the following that it ran the
same on the front page under q box
head and in large body type:
There IS 4O,0D0,000 farm popula-
ton in the United States. The 1871
crop is worth s9,s72 ,936.ooo- II only
$40 were Spent for each person on
the farm now, instead Of waiting. it
would put S40O,00O,OO0 into circula-
ton and give employment to thous-
ands whose families are suffering
where factories are idle.
This is about the first intimation
on the part OF the Register that there
are idle factories and thousands Of
unemployed men Whose families are
suffering. It may seem strange but,
nevertheless, the truth slips out once
In awhile.
