Am.rie.n Railways Safest.


New York World: That American
railways are now the safest for pas
sensers in the world is the cheering
assurances drawn from the figures
for 1915 pu. forth by the bureau of
railway news
The fiscal year to June 80 passed,
for 325 railways with two-thirds OF all
our mileage, without killing a single
passenger. On all railways, with $780,
900 miles and more of track, the pas
senger deaths were 1876. They were
2s5 in 1914 and 4O3 in 1913. In 1905,
of little more than half as many pas
sengers 533 were killed.
The latest returns from Europe. COW
ering 20T,O15 miles, all but small
fraction, and showing 700 deaths. are
no, a fair test because Of war. More
passengers were killed in Great Brit
ain than in the United States, but
r57 were lost in single trooptrafn dis
aster. In 1913, 124 passengers were
killed on $4,000 miles OF British track.
Their number OF passengers, 1,22S, 000.-
600 was greater than ours last year.
bu, by passenger miles our 1915 rec
ord is cleaner than Britain's In the last
year OF peace.
Fewer employees also were killed In
this country in 1914 than in Britain In
1913 in proportion to passenger train
miles and freight ton miles. But in
the list of trespassers and others
slain on the tracks we continue
shocking tale
Let the praisworthy Efforts OF our
managers to check this Grain upon
life be crowned with success, and the
record Of American railroading Will
no longer require apology.

There is nothing incorrect about

people who would not think of using
the Affirmative Of it as singular. "She

agreeable to the ear as "she do" and
''he do" would be; and It is aston
fishing that any one of the most ele-
mentary grammatical knowledge
could be so deaf to the values Of
English speech as to use them.
Still the mistake is annoyingly
common. Recently an actor. playing

CORN CROP
IS NOW ASSURED
Il. p. Wallace Declares That Recent
Rains Will Add 15.ooo.-
900 Bushels to
Yield.
RAIN ALL OVER STATE
While Corn Was Late In June. Warm
Weather and Showers Brought
It to Normal
Stand.
RAIN ALL OVER STATE

Rain which has fallen in Iowa dur
ing the last week has added at least
100000 or 100000 bushels to
the Iowa corn crop, according to an
estimate made yesterday by n. G..
Wallace Of Wallace's Farmer.
In dollars, the rain has added S.
600 900 value to the Iowa corn crop.
Not only has the Iowa crop been
greatly benefited by the rain, but the
an average of one inch of rainfall
during the week, has benefited to the
extent of 200,0O0,O0O bushels. Mr..
Wallace estimates.
j. w. Smith of the United States
weather bureau is even more opti-
mistic in his predictions. He says
that an inch OF rain over the corn
belt at this time should increase the
crop at least SOC, 600, 900 bushels.
Had this rain come a week later,
my belief is that the corn crop would
have been about the same amount
short that the rain added to it" said
Mr.. Wallace. This is just the criti-
cal period for corn. Usually we place
the critical period as lying between
July Is and August IS.
Corn Two Weeks Late.
"This year, however. because OF a
cold, wet May and June, corn is two
weeks late. That fact has made it
late in tasseling and extended the
critical period about ten days. So
that should say that right now Is
about the middle OF that period. It
will end about August 25. II we get
plenty of rain before that time we
should come near to having record
breaking CROP
If the rain had come earlier, how
ever, it would have been OF greater
value to Iowa farmers. Mr.. Wallace
estimates that a rain now is worth
only about three-fourths as much as
one coming in the latter part Of July
would have been.
Rain Throughout West.
During the dry spell, Iowa, Ne
braska, Indiana and Ohio were hav-
ing the largest percentage of rain
Of the states in the corn belt, and
were prcfiting by the greater drought
in the other states. Certain local
tiles in northern Iowa were profiting
at the expense OF the state as a
whole. for they were having plenty
of rain, while the rest Of the state
had little.
"The week Of rain, which has aver
aged an inch over the entire corn
belt, has served to eQualize cOndi-
tons, and SO has been hard on the
Iowa farmer individuals, who might
have profited by the shortage in
other states and the consequent high
prices. But it has assured better
conditions as a whole throughout the
state and the whole corn belt" Mr..
Wallace concluded.

"Day Of Aiibis"

This is the day of alibis,' Fresi.
dent Tener said 1.-THE baseball play
er is much like the average mother.
When boy is hard to control the
mother biames his companions; when
a baseball player looks bad on play,
he doesn't like to take all the blame,
so he looks around for some one to
take it. And the umpire usually is
the handiest. Often he says things he
shouldn't and then he is put out of
the game and fined.
I'VE have certain laws which are
meant to control the actions of players
and managers on the field and here
tofore we have been forced to do all
the disciplining. Hereafter the club
owners ar going to take hand, with
a view to stopping all wrangling be-
fore it starts.

Clubs to Cooperate.

ITO this end every club has agreed
to keep bad talk down. No player will
be allowed to yell from the bench at
opposing players nor to make the
same kind of an attack on the field of

Governor Tener is a firm believer
In baseball for the fan. The fan pays
for the game, he declared, and should
be given what he pays for. He be-
lieves the fan gets weary when he
sees and hears wrangle on the field
and he does not believe the fan pays
(. for newspaper to read statements re-
garding a fracas in baseball game.
Boxing. exhibitions. Governor Tener
is convinced, are provided in suitable
places and the National league is not
in competition with the gentlemen
who are promoting them.
