Two More Slain.

The rural grade crossing takes its
toll again near Washington. Two lives
were destroyed last night at crossing
at College Park. Md. The exact cir
will never be known, as
the only occupants of the motor car
that was hit by the train are dead
The accident occurred at night and
there were no witnesses.
Yet the fact remains that the grade
crossing. whatever the conditions i'm
mediateIy surrounding it, is a death
trap, an invitation to the road users
to cross the tracks. No matter whether
there are bells or other audible or
visual signals. the open track without
gates on a level is a highway. Under
present conditions all the responsible.
ity is placed upon the road user, and
none upon the railroad. At night it is
possible to drive upon such a dan
gerous position without knowing the
peril. There are thousands of these
crossings, where motorists and drivers
may he trapped at any time after dark
No bell rings and no light appears: no

sound Of the approaching train is

deadened to the ear. A house or
clump of trees perhaps shuts off the
view. Without warning the train
smashes into the machine and death
ensues.
Just as soon as the railroads begin
to recover from their present low
financial state the cure of these evil
conditions should be undertaken sys-
tematically and thoroughly. 1t, of
course, costs money to build under
passes or viaducts 10 carry the high
ways beneath or above the tracks. The
cost should perhaps be divided between
the railroads and the states. But
while these improvements are under
way and while they are being awaited
every frequented highway track cross
ing should be protected by signals and
barriers throughout the period of train
operation.

The Agricultural Interests.

Senator Lenroot's proposition that
Congress investigate agricultural CON
ditions is supportable on the same
ground that prevailed in the inveSti-
cation ordered in the case of the rail
roads.
The railroads. confessedly. are in a
bad way. The Esch- -Cummins law
failed to put them on their feet again.
SO to say. That they should be oper-
atins protitably to their owners and
satisfactorily to the country needs no
argument. Hence the wisdom of the
step taken at the instance of Senator
Cummins. The investigation should
show what the Esch- Cummins law
failed to supply. and Congress can
act as the committees report may
advise.
SO in the case of the agricultural
interests. They. too, ConfeSsedly, are
in a bad way-in worse way. if
current complaint may he accepted,
than ever before. They are clamorinS
for help. and in the emergency tariff
bill. not far now from enactment into
law. some help will be rendered by
Congress If more should prove neces-
sary. the investigation proposed by the
Wisconsin senator should disclose the
fact and suggest the supplemental
legislation.
The farmers name is legion. And
he is not only numerous, but at last
organized. He is power in the
country's equation. Disaster to him
spreads. Nearly everybody is affected.
Full bins and good prices, therefore,
are essential not only to his comfort
and prosperity. but to the comfort and
prosperity of all who are in any sort
of relation to him.

the victory as turn in the tide. and
forecast of the result two years
later. while if the republicans win they
will point to their victory as proof
that the country is still so strongly
with them an upset two years later
will be out of the question.
So the man who handles the repub-
lican case in that campaign must give
heart and time to the work-his whole
heart and time. 1t was in that spirit
MIR. Hays was chosen chairman sew
eral years ago: and the fruits of the
selection appeared first in the con-
gressional elections of 1918. and then

elections of last year.

A Quaint Discovery.

And the poet wrote stories of grand

To the eye, where the dancers were

Afar in the attic some garments we
found
webs OF yore-
A specimen strange, to fond memories
bound.
The prim bathing suit that my
grandmother wore.
1t was loose in the waist; it was high
in the neck;
The skirt was SO long it would never
disclose
The curve OF knee-and still further
to check
A curious glance, it provided thick
hose.
An ample straw hat with a 'kerchief
tied round
The features concealed from the
throng on the shore
We gaze with sentiment fine and
profound
On the bathing attire that my grand
mother wore.
Now grandfather's clock is a thing of
the past.
He turns to a wrist watch to learn
of the time.
His chair has been scrapped, for it's
legs didn't last,
Though grandpa moves on to a
jaZZical chime.
We take up the bundle and put it
aside
Such garments we never expect to
see more.
What has hidden so much now ever
must hide.

Demotion and Reorganization

The federal employees are the
storm center Of the first fight over
the reorganization of the federal
classified service. which the Harding
administration has promised. For
/ three years they have been pressing
for better pay. A temporary bonus
arrangement was put in effect during
the war, by which all of them draw
ing less than 5000 a year received
s2iO annually TO provide for the in
creased cost of living. This arrange
ment still continues in effect 1t is
interesting to note what is now pro-
posed.
The mandarins of the appropria
tions committee Of the Senate, in
Guiding Senators Warren, Smoot and
Curtis, do not plan to help the rank
and file Of government employees to
any great extent Their bill stipu-
lates that a substantial number of
them Will receive less than they are
getting noW-that is. when the bonus
is taken into consideration. The av-
era2e of pay increases for the entire
federal service will. be about $50 a
year or 500 less than the horizontal
bonus which all Of them are now
receiving.
This is revision downward with
vengeance, and it is based, appar-
entity. on the theory that the cost
of living is receding. But if the
long and diScouraging fight of the
government clerks for more adequate
compensation has been armored with
even the shadow of truth and JUS
ticc. then the Smoot bill is nothing
less than black reaction. 1t does not
accept the fact that present old
line statutory salaries are archaic
and demoraliZing. 1t does not accent
the fact that the civil service ought
to be made career for any Young
man who wants to go into it, espe-
cially in the scientific branches, but
leaves matters very much as they
have been for generations past-Bal.
