GRADE CROSSINGS MUST GO.

The efforts that are being made to
find some way by which the grade
crossing can and will be eliminated
should-in fact, must-succeed. There
is no other way to prevent serious
accidents and continuing losses of I1u-
man life. The chief problem at pres
ent seems to be who shall pay. But
whatever the cost it must be paid.
There is no price too great.
Every other means of preventing
accidents at intersections of highways
nation of the grade crossings, has
been tried and has failed. All sorts
of warnings have been set up and
safety first educational campaigns
have been carried on, with little or no
avail.
Eastern newspapers last Monday
told of the death of nine persons in
two grade crossing accidents. The
more serious of the two occurred near
Valparaiso. Ind, on Sunday, when
seven of a family of ten persons were
killed because the automobile in
which they were riding stalled on a
crossing in front of an express train.
The father OF the family was driving
the car and he escaped injury by
jumping, after he had thrown one of
his children from the vehicle
children from the vehicle.
The second accident occurred at
Hoosick, Mass, and in tnfs case the
victims were two young women whose
automobile stalled on a crossing of
the Boston & Maine system. Two
other persons who were riding with
them jumped and thereby escaped in
jury.
In both cases the fault attaches it.
self to the driver of the automobile.
Signs prevent any one from reaching
grade crossing without knowledge
of its proximity, but despite this fact
nine persons were killed within
twenty-four hours because they did
not make sure that a locomotive was
approaching before they actually
reached the rails. If they had done
that, stalled motor would have been
a matter of very little Importance.
It must be apparent, in view of
these incidents. that the only way to
prevent a recurrence OF them lies in
rendering them impossible by remov-
ing all grade crossings.

1t is announced by high officer in
the railroad brotherhoods that there
probably will be no more general rail-
road strikes. Possibly railroad work
ers have been made to realize the fu-
tility of attempts to tie up the trans
portation business of the country. 1t
Is reported that the Pennsylvania rail-
road, one of the chief OF transporta-
ton lines of the country. has a force
of shopmen up to 81 per cent of nor
NAL and with this force not only are
all current repairs being made but
additional work is being done to bring
rush of fall traffic. Says the an
nouncement: 1.-The Pennsylvania has
gone thru the shipments strike with
out having to cancel a train, freight
or passenger, or curtail service in any
way" It is recorded that the Long
Island railway, which serves beach
resorts, handled its record-breaking
holiday crowds after the strike began
and with no more than ordinary de.
lays. In fact, the only cases of I'M
usual delays of trains during the re-
cent strike were on those roads where
violence was resorted to by the
strikers-and these cases, It may be
said to the credit of the strikers, have
been relatively few. Where trainmer

THE AVERAGE CAR OWNER.

The Cleveland Trust company
quotes figures based upon many
thousands of transactions which show
that the typical purchaser of an au-
tomobile may be described as follows:
He is married man SO years old.
He has a bank account ana car
ries life insurance.
He buys a s1,40o car and pays
300 down.
He pays the balance at the rate
Of 800 monthly.
His monthly income is $3.50.
He owns real estate in which his
equity is $1,000.
He has personal property worth
about $4,000.
This is not his first car.
To the foregoing the Omaha Bee
adds the following:
The average automobile owner is q

cardinal principles of the old democ-
racy. Tariff agitation probably more
than anything else, has led to a de-
velopment of sectionalism. We now
find Democrats from wool producing
states uniting with Democrats from
sugar states. and voting with the op-
position party in order to obtain pro-
lection for the products in which they
are especially interested. We find the
farm bloc submitting to the impo-
sition of high duties on everything the
farmer must buy, in order to obtain
protection for the few products he has
to sell. The sectionalism referred to
by the professor, merely is logrolling
carried to the nth degree.

A player piano stands in one cor
ner of the room, too. BY dropping a
nickel in the slot dance music or a
classical concert can be enjoyed when
there is no musician on hand to per-
form.
This player piano is extremely pop
ular,~ Mr. Carter says. Late the other
night he happened to pass thru the
assembly hall. It was empty save for
solitary scrub woman who stood with
hands on her hips listening with bliss
full satisfaction to Beethoven's Minuet.
Recently the instrument refused to
work, to the great alarm of numerous
employees. The manufacturing COM
pany was appealed to and the sugges-
ton came back that, while the piano
had been in use only a short time, it
was Just possible that it might be
suffering from a superfluity of nick
els. The box was opened and the
mysterious ailment remedied.

Mr.. Carter saw the possibilities of a
roof garden-not an elaborate affair
with ported plants and fancy awnings
but a shady railed-in flat roof
where employees could spend their
rest time out of doors without going

RESULTS LACKING IN

Although the sheriff's office is main
tanning a dlligent search for the two
boys who Thursday afternoon held up
Mrs. Louise Lewis and robbed her
of 5000 at her home on the Salt Creek
highway west of Casper no tangible
results have been accomplished.
Scores of Juvenile offenders are said
to have been visited by officers and
questioned until they established a
perfect alibi to cover their movements
Thursday afternoon.
The youthful bandits who held up
Mrs. Lewis and cause a reign of ter
ror in the vicinity of her home were
armed with .45 calibre re~volvers
Mrs. Lewis described the lads saying
that they were about II and 16 years
of age. Lads answering the descrip.
tons she gave will be taken to Mr..
Lewis in an effort to have her identi-
fly them.
This offense is said to ave followed
a series of depredations in many sec
tons of Casper and vicinity which
have been a source of continual irri-
tation to local officers. The serious
ness of this offense has resulted in
the decision to use drastic measures
to apprehend youthful offenders in
