posed into their original chemical
elements by careless automobile
drivers without recourse. Because
the latter have neither financial re-
sponsibility nor liability insurance.
Yet the right of a person injured
through another's fault to recon-
pense is acknowledged by law, Gus
tom and morality. 1t is the mod
ern substitute for the old Mosaic
doctrine of an eye for an eye.
Consequently the proposal for
compulsory liability insurance has
warm advocates. Theoretically, it
is simple cure for a widespread
evil. But it might prove only a le-
gal nostrum. Difficult and expensive
to enforce. And encouraging care
lessness.
At best it can only correct finan-
cial, not mental, irrespOnsibility. A
few convictions and heavy sentences
slapped on accident-causing drivers
would curb irresponsibility more
than a trunk full of liability insur-
ance policies.

Hunters

1EVERAL hundred Warren
Township farmers staged a
fox hunt Saturday few
miles southeast Of Irvington. 1t
was not designed as a social affair
but to rid the nelehborhood Of pes
tiferous. chicken stealing animals.
In technique the event differed
materially from traditional fox hunts.
Made famous by the equity sqdires Of
Old England.
No thor oughbreds - carrying
bouncing scarletclad gentry -
skinned hedgerows Or pushed ex
cited hoofs through rusucs. No hunt
or ended the chase with q garland
Of squash vines around his neck or
his pancreas stuffed into hts left
ear.
IN fact, the hunt violated all the
ancient laws OF the royal sport For
four foxes were killed instead #
merely being run ragged. Which
might disturb ghosts II defunct
country gentlemen -- but accom-
plished good.
Sport for sports sake IS over
emphasized.
Many buthelv endure for sport
aching WEAKNESS that would DO

engaged in paid labor.
Sport IS desirable But not when

goals The Warren Township fox

Generally We elect city officials and
expect them to bring in the millen-

Which Is the reason American mu-

Brakes

81 MAN was crushed TO death
IAI by a street car on Z. Wash
G- ington St. the other night.
His body was carried more than 100
feet before the car could be stopped.
The car was equipped only with
hand brakes. Which the police Of
ficer who Investigated declared was
directly responsible for the fatality.
This is the second accident in the
last ten days attributed to hand
brakes on street cars. About twenty
so equipped are still in use by the
Street Railway Company compared
with 325 air controlled.
Air has made possible high speed
rail transportation. For speed
without ability to stop is r-eless.
And air furnishes the stopping
ability.
Consequently air brakes have been
universally adopted. And people
have become accustomed to their
precision.
But with Anticipated hand-braked
cars still in operation they may be
mistaken in relying on the efficiency
of the breaking device on an mp
preaching car and f1irt with a hand
braked Nemesis
Which introduces an unnecessary
sporting element into street traffic.
It would be better for the Street
Railway Company TO put these relics
in museum for preservation than
on the streets 10 jeopardize lives.

The Aryans first appeared in

theory is that they took to India

RAILROAD LABOR TROUBLES LOOM IN NEW YEAR
With Prosperity in Sight,
Workmen Demand Their
Share.

WI ASHINGTON, Dec. 90
w With an era of prosperity
practically assured to Amer
lean railroads, opinion is sharp
Iy divided as to how labor will
be affected.
Labor leaders think that a share
in the railroad profits should go to
labor. Railroad managers. on the
other hand, want even greater eco
omies in costs Of operation, whether
this be accomplished through smaller
wages or smaller numbers of en-
ployes.
That the railroad managers, or at
! least the railroad bankers, are still
inclined to regard their employees as
opponents" was naively indicated
in a recent Wall Street summary
of the present railway versus en-
ployes situation.
The award of the Railroad La
Dor Board of a per cent increase
in the pay of certain engineers and
fremen," this statement explained,
lis not to be regarded IS unfavor-
able TO the railroads. In fact. It
represents a victory Of the railroads
over the employees in that it fails to
grant their fun demands
Contest I'm Full Swing
Reports from the Pacific coast
that the engineers and firemen Of
the Southern Pacific and affiliated
lines voted by 90 per cent in favor
Of striking unless their employers
met their demands on working con
ditions, and the immediate agree
ment Of the management to enter
into discussions which had pre-
viously been refused, indicated that
this age-old contest between work
ers and employers is in fun swing In
that section OF the country
Over a year ago the engineers and
fremen Of S. p. lines made demands
on the management that they be
accorded the same wage awards that
the majority Of Eastern and South
ern lines had made.

suggesting serious modification in
working rules-nodification which
would have more than offset the in
crease in wages. Since that time,
the employees and the management
/ have been deadlocked. the employees
asking for joint conferences with the
managers and the managers reply
ing. vaguely, that the Railroad
Labor Board had the matter under
consideration.
Board Without Authority
This latter method Of settling the
dispute was wholly outside the realm
Of the authority Of the labor board.
and It was because IF this evasion
on the part Of the management that
the strike vote was taken.
The recent per cent Increase.
which had been pending for over a
year before the labor board. was
interpreted BY the railroad workers
just as Wall Street interpreted it.

though made on the eve Of the strike
vote. did not prevent an over
whelming majority in favor Of strik.
ing If the demands for conferences
were not met.
Economies in the cost OF railroad
operation have been one Of the more
pronounced factors in railway man
asement in the past few years. That
greater efficiency and more up-to-
date equipment are better routes to
still further economies than the
route of wage-cuts is the contention

the burning of widows and human
sacrifices. 1t is thought that these
customs came through the Aryans
mingling with Indian black races.
1t was also discovered that the
horse was first tanned TO work for
man in Asia about 1000 B. c.. and
this custom was brought to India.
The small wild horse may have been
used. occasionally. in prehistoric
| times, but this is doubtful. Mostly
it was hunted for food.
