More Collision Slaughter.

As though 10 clinch the demonstra-
tion Of persistence in established
methods which marks the general rail
way administration in this country
comes the wreck on the New York Cen
trail system near Amherst, Ohio, almost
exactly duplicating the New Haven road
wreck near Bridgeport some weeks ago
The Bridgeport wreck occurred in day

Then when these two ran together. in
each case came a third train on an ad

N the Bridgeport case the third train was

Investigations, Of course, have been

Doubtless this blame will be modified,

which is, as in the Bridgeport case, the
absence of trustworthy signal system
The track side signals have been
proved countless times to be untrust

signals and engineers have mistaken the
lights, or have ignored them. In Other

work of actors before the camera is

exaltation. according to the development
of the dramatic situation. To "regis-

Nebraska.

Mr.. Bryan never PLAYED Il boIder
game in his life than he is playing
right now at home He has thrown him
self into the sta,c campaign for all he
| is worth. His brother is a candi-
date for the democratic nomination for
governor, and he is supporting him. He
is also supporting one of the candidates
for the democratic nomination for
United States senator. On the stump,
he is making three speeches a day, and
his plan is to visit every county Pri-
mary day is April IS.
If Mr.. Bryan is successful in this ven
ture: if his candidates are nomina. ed
and the platform shows the impress of
his influence he will be extremely
coeky at St Louis Holding that the
home folks are behind him, and that
that means the Endorsement of all for
which he now stands, he will insist
more stoutly than ever on being heard
and needed for the policies he is rec
ommending.
On the other hand if his candidates
are defeated, and the platform is drawn
on lines opposed to his wishes, he Will
appear at st. Louis considerably shorn.
At home. during his long national
leadership Mr.. Bryan has had his ups
and downs. Twenty wears ago he
brought distinction to the state by his
picturesque triumph II Chicago, and his
neighbors. without regard to party, were

The republicans have selected and or

committee. They are in high hopes as
to controlling the next House. and not
without hope of controlling the Senate.
In the matter of the latter body they

tion is very much mixed in number of

both its foreign and domestic policies,
and that only the war has saved us
from staggering business depression.

These are among the questions-prob-

front the next President and the next

their appeal to the voters: Turn the
whole business over to us. Give us full
control. Follow us, and you will wear
