ROAD IN CRUSADE TO
CHECK TRESPASSING

No matter how you look at ii, it is
a curious circumstance that some peo-
pie will risk their lives, just to save a
few steps Yet the same people
would not knowingly take any foolish
chance of losing their money. Per-
haps somebody will say that when
folks walk the railroad tracks to save
time, they do it thoughtlessly without
realizing the danger.
True enough. Let us admit that
lack of thought-Carelessn ess-call II
what you will, is the cause of a ma
jOrtty of the deaths and injuries
around the railroad.
The next thing to consider, is
whether there is any excuse whatever
for this lack of care. Immediately,
dozen people will answer, NO, because
almost everybody reads the papers
nowadays, and you cannot pick up any
paper without reading the familiar
heading Man Killed On the Track"
And, mind you. the average man kill
ed on the railroad tracks is not
tramp or hObo-nO. unfortunately
many useful citizens, artisans, labor
ers. business men, if you please, In all
the walks of life, are among the vic
Tins Of this track-walking habit.
Surely, around the railroad is a real
danger zone. When people forget this,
something is almost sure to happen.
II. G Thomas, an inspector of the
Burlington who is here, working out
with Agent Riddell the details OF an
anti-tresp passing campaign, relates the
following incident: Recently, while
going through one OF our large yards
in Iowa. / met a young man, aged
about 10. walking on crutches, along
the tracks | said 10 him, I'm rail
road man. otherwise | should not be
in mis- dangerous place lie answer
ed 1t was right here. IN these YARDS,
that | got mine Then he went on to
ten me how he lost a foot. when
boy. 9 years old. trying to hop onto
a freight train. And | only wanted
10 ride half a block, but before l got
that far. lar of the train threw my
foot under the wheels, and l was Grip
MED for life | asked him II he ever
warned other boys about such dan
gers and he said: Yes. | have, many
times. and say, said he, ! know you
will think me a fool for being here
now. but | am going TO quit the track
al the next crossing and he did.
If ALI the crippled men and boys
who owe their sad condition to similar
chancc-taking. could preach from the
housetops, many would be deferred
from running these risks, but others
would remain whose cases would have
10 be dealt with otherwise.
The Burlington people. with the
helm Of the public press and heads of
industrial concerns who have posted
warning notices To their employees,
have brought about an improved coa-
ditiou in respect to trespassing on
tracks in many cities along their line.
