Here's to the old earth. and here's to all
that's in her.
To the soil of her and the toll of her. and
the valiant souls that win her:
To the hope she holds, and the gift she
grants, her hazards and her prizes
To the face of her. and the grace of her.
and all her swift surprises.
Here's to her mighty dawns, with rose
and golden splendor;
To the heights of her, and the nights of
her, her springs and their surrender;
Her storms and her frozen seas, and the
mystic stars above her,
The fear of her. and the cheer of her, and
all the brave that love her.
Here's to her valleys warm, with their
little homes to cherish:
me CLEAN or her, and the dream OF her,
and the loves that flower and perish
To her cities rich and gay. with their
stern life-chorus ringing,
The noise of her. and the joys OF her, and
the signs beneath the singing.
Here's to her endless youth, her deaths
and her revivtng;
The souls of her. and the goal OF her. that
keep her ever striving;
Her little smiling flowers and her COM
forting grass and clover,
And the rest of her on the breast of her
when striving days are over.
Here's to the old earth, with all her
countless chances
The heart of her, and the art of her, her
frowns and tender chances;
With all her dear familiar ways that held
US from the starting:
Long might to her! And good night TO
her, when the hour is struck for
parting.

safety on Raflroads,


CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-To the Editor OF
The Bee Your editorial on Safety OF
Railroad Travel Is of interest not only
as a good record for the railways. but
because II indicates a well marked
tendency. The fact that there Is a
tendency toward increasing safety on rail-
ways is shown by statistics covering
periods OF years. But l am chiefly in
terested in your reference TO the proper
ton OF fatalities to persons trespassing
on the right-of-way and TO the too pre-
valent custom OF taking chances"
Trespassing on railway property IL a
peculiarly American habit. II IL not due
to ignorance OF the risk. but TO the great
American habit OF taking a chance"
There Is a general impression that the
trespassers killed are largely hoboes
This is not a fact Nor are they for
eigners. A committee OF the Association
OF Railway Claim Agents recently made
an exhaustive inquiry in relation to the
trespassing habit and the victims OF IT,
The report covered nearly 1000 specific
cases. or about 30 per cent of the total
number of casualties reported to the
Interstate Commerce commission in 1914
II showed that IS per cent OF the tres
passers were Americans. Only - per cent
were reported as In the hobo class and %
per cent were reported definitely as not
in this class. Only 10 per cent were
foreigners.
Casualties TO trespassers are A per cent
fatal. Official records OF casualties to
all persons except trespRssers. and in
GLIDING passengers and employees. in all
classes OF accidents show a relation of
injuries to fatalities OF about thirty or
forty to one. Almost half OF all tres
passers reported IN all railway casualty
lists are reported killed. OF course. the
explanation Is that they are walking on
the tracks. or climbing or riding on cars.
They are struck by locomotives or
