The High Cost of Carelessness.
(Cincinnati Enquirer. ]


 At the underwriters conference in Chicago 1t was stated that in the United States 11037000 persons are hurt yearly in various kinds of accidents Further 1Q5 GOO are killed. These amazing figures infinitely exceed the casualties of the World War. Such an nually recurring losses not be passed over with indifference It is dreadful thought that legions of human beings should die violent death. It is Iorrid to contemplate the abysmal depth of misery involved in these astounding figures. Imagination sltdders at the weeping of thousands of widows and orphans over the sudden taking away of their bus bands and fathers and pictures the heart-rendering distress in homes where millions of injured persons struggle with pain and poverty.
 The injury to the nation also must be considered The country can i'll afford such sacrifice in work ing power and resultant financial losses, otaling into billions It is clear that something must be done to diminish this terrible toll in blood and money
 The gruesome statistics reveal that these horrors are caused by the American mania for speed and deficient sense of caution Against such faulty per sqnal habits. laws be of avail, but the aid of education might be invoked with good effect.
 Children must be taught the sacredness of human life that t is folly trihc with ones life. and that reckless speed results in death and injury and offers gain other than tears of anguish and misery

WHERE IS OUR LEAGUE OF
 APPRECIATION.

The following is notable excerpt from an addr ently delivered by former Secretary of the Inter nklin K. Lane:
 I wish it were possible for the public to speak more directly to those who represent it in public life We are great people for organizations, but We one organization short We have clubs, societies. felowshlpc, lodges, services, unions, federations tiateTnl- ties without number No other hundred mil lion people that ever lived have been SO unionized fer one purpose or another, but we need one more Where is our League 0f Appreciation?
 When a man does a fine thing in public life we should let him know that we appre- ciate it. There should be a common under standing that when a man performs his duty lie should get more compensation than his salary or his own self-approval l can speak frankly and boldly on this subject because am out of public life and when l was in it I was treated with the utmost generosity.
 .a If Democracy is to be success, we must stimulate in every possible way the courage the constructiveness and sober wis dom of our officials Honesty is net rare virtue in public men, but courage is; because men soon find that by eoncliation of antag onstic force they go far The 'Pussyfooter, the eYader. the responsibility shirker the passer of the buck in ordinary times is a sue cessful man in politics And, when society finds man who shows nerve he should be promoted, But his nerve should be AhRed with sanity We should not mistake hysterical obsession for constructive states manship. The reason that many paaver- CTS go SC far is that their only opponents who have courage, are unbalanced extreme ists who feel right but who wish to take mountain at leap.
 My appeal is on behalf of those steady minded men of vision who push off with one hand the corrupting forces that attempt tc sway their official action by bribes given to their vanity their ambition, and with the other arm draw toward them those who plan purposefully and practically for i'm proyement.
 < Let me make my idea concrete. The Secretary of the Treasury, MT. Houston. some time ago made statement to Congress regarding a proposed bonus for soldiers. It was in plain line of duty, but it took great courage in election year to make such statement. How many of us have sent him a line of appreciation? The Bureau Of Indian Affairs has, in the past seven years, handled hundreds of millions of dollars belonging to the Indans-more money than has ever passed through it's hands before. It has been the only seven years in our history in which there has not been a scandal ia that very delicate department of public work How many of us have thought to drop Com missioner Cato Sells a word Of appreciation?
 The forces of maevolence, the destruc- tive forces. have their agencies constantly at wafk They insinuate and intimidate Why sheaid uot the constructive forces be equally alert and assert themselves in the promotion of honesty and courage in our public men. They need it, these public officials, Cor we have not yet developed people who can live and grow outside the sunshine of public favor

Congress has enacted new water power law.
Developing hydroeectric power to the utmost is the

AS the purpose of the law is development of
hydro-eectric power liberal rules must be drawn to
meet various sections of the country.
All commercial countries struggling for the
control of oil, because the use of oil cheapens sea
transportation
For this country to assure itself ample supplies
of oil is to conserve what we have by developing
water power.

WHY NOT BE FAIR

Increases in public utility and railroad rates
have been necessary. to maintain service The in
creses granted, however, have most cases been Ill
adeqcate to increased cost OF opration and as
result many companies re in desEerte circum-
stances.
The main fight against increased rates yielding
fair return is always cried on by those of some
rdlcal publication or politician.
bitter fight has been en- in New York to pre-
vent increased car fares and other utility rates.
To show the Inconsistency Of the papers waging
this campaign it is interesting to note the increases
in subscription rates of New York publications from
1914 to 1920. Eleven of the leading magazines pub
lshed there raised news stand rates from 40 to 233
per cent or an average of "a 12 per cent each
The most radical against the utilities has increased
its price from Is to IS cents or 1873 per cent.
The 10 leding newspapers Of the city have in
creased subscription rates from SO to 260 per cent or
an average of over 123 IL per "ert each. The ore
leading the fight against any Increases in utility rtes
raised its annual subscription price from So to So
or 167 per cent.
Surprising that htese publications had had to go
before public utility commission to secure such in
creases in rates and the commission had refused to
grant any increases during years as has been the
case in many instances with the utilities; how many
of these papers and magazines would have been in
existance today.

ARE WE SAFE

In the San Francisco theatres the first moving
pictures of Soviet Russia have been exhibited. In
ternal disturbances, the Soviet army and the plight
of Russia from the standpoint IF lawlessness were
shown in vivid form. Lenine and Trotsky
shown appearing before the people and addressing
the army.
In America we think we are safe from radical
outbreaks yet in this San Francisco theatre when the
figures of the leaders Of organized revolution in
Russia were flashed upon the screen, there was
spontaneoun outburst of handclapping mixed with
hisses Is this not warning that America has with

it is necessary to educate away from ideas Of rodica

us not be too sure of our security when such a
