Safety on the Rails.

A railroad train, one of those fast
passenger trains called a flyer" ran
fifteen miles with the engineer dead
In his cab. This happened on one of
the busy railroads Of the East, with
switches, Sidings, stations and signals
close together and no doubt trains
running under a headway Of a few
minutes. Hundreds of passengers
were without a thought Of danger. 1t
was good luck that there was not a
crash. Had there been, the explana.
ton would have been that the en-
gineer ran by a danger signal, dis
obeyed orders or something Of that
kind. The engineer would be found
dead IN the wreck. The theory that
the engineer was dead at his throttle
before the wreck and that the train
was running wild would not be credit
ed. The engineer in this case did not
die of apoplexy or one of several other
causes Of sudden death. The fireman
found him dead, his head crushed, as
the train rushed through railroad
yards where it should have Travelled
slower. The theory is that the en-
gineer was struck by bridge girder
or pillar as he leaned too far out OF
his cab window.
Every now and then is published an
account of q locomotive engineer
found dead in his cab. Sometimes the
fireman makes the discovery because
the train is running at unusual speed
or has gone past a place where 1t
should stop. Sometimes there is an
unaccountable wreck and the en-.
gineer and fireman are found dead
in the wreckage. There is somethirs
in this to be thought over by railroad
men and travellers. Railroad COM
panies have come to the point where
by physical examination and other
means they seek to insure that the en-.
gineer taking out a train is fit for his
work. Such precautions cannot be the
highest measure Of safety. A number
of years ago, when this question was
up, there was a proposal that two en-
gineers should be in the cab Of loco
motives drawing fast trains, but Il
was decided that such a measure was
uot-needed. Tho cost Of travel woVlt

Punishment and Crime.

District Attorney Banton OF New
York. in radio talk in that city, has
Just declared that while certainty Of
arrest and conviction with some form
Of punishment would deter some per-
sons from committing crimes. severe
sentences "have never prevented
crime and never will" He asserted
that crime can be prevented only by
moral training, and the reason that
that result has not been attained is
that the individual has received in
structions but has not been compelled
to practice what he has been taught.
This raises question which will
be discussed throughout the country
in the agitation for the solution OF
the crime problem in the United
States. It has been accepted generally
as established that slow court proc
esses due to the numerical inadequacy
Of the bench, the tardiness OF trials
resulting from postponements and
needless protraction Of procedure and
the suspension of sentences have con.
tributed to the prevalence Of crime Of
all kinds. Statistics show clearly that
lawbreakers are encouraged by, first.
the good chance Of escape from arrest
due to modern facilities for flight,
and, second. by the chance OF escape
from punishment through delay of
trials and failure OF convictions. All
large cities contain hundreds of fugi.
tives from the law and persons under
charge awaiting trial.
The security Of society is menaced
by these conditions. A criminal who
Is at large awaiting trial. or who is
on probatio1 or under suspended sem
tence. is a danger. The New York dis
trict attorney says that safety lies in
moral training. Who will administer
such training to such people? The
jails and penitentlaries are not train
ing men into moral ways, despite the
adoption Of easy discipline and educa-
tional methods in such institutions.
The men at large who have not been
committed to prison are not under any
restraint or under any sort Of moral
guidance.
It may be that as a result Of the
softening Of the prison conditions, the
introduction Of entertainment, the
grant Of privileges and the reduction
of sentences, committals to penal in
stitutions are not as effective as for
merly. II SO the fault lies not in the
committals or the sentences. but in
the tendency to make prison life
easier and therefore less obnoxious
and abhorrent to the law breaker.
Punishment is a deterrent, but 1t
must be certain and severe. When the
chances favor escape from any pen
atty the potential criminal Is encour-
aged. He sees daily accounts Of crime,
robberies, assaults, murders. that are
practically certain to lead to long de-
lays even when the perpetrators are
caught. He reads accounts OF easy
times in the penitentiaries for the in
mates, Of radio service for their bene.

The stoker was relied on to take care
Of the train should the engineer be
incapacitated. The stoker has his own
work to do, and has only odd moments
in which to note what the engineer is
doing. In this case the train ran If

that his engineer was dead. 1t is a
subject for thought, but it is clear that
as time goes on there will be strong
demands for the adoption Of every
measure to promote safety on the

Popular Favor.
Now London cheers the noble Prince
And bids him welcome home.
He finds the grandest greeting since
He started forth to ioam.
He never figured in base ball
Nor SWAN the Channel rough.
He seems to have no views at all
On evolution stuff.
Or any other thing that makes
For oratoric skill;
And yet the mighty cheering wakes
The welkin to a thrill.
Some men must hustle for applause
And toll with voice or fist;
And others get three cheers because
They genially exist.

 THE LIFE OF A
 SOVIET MARINER

LIVERPOOL: The Soviet steamer Bordienny, which is lying at the dock in Liverpool is attracting the atten- tion and envy of British sailors, not only because of it's elaborateIy furn- ished social halls for all members of the crew, but also because of the long periods of rest and short hours work ed by the men. On all Soviet vessels the seamen work four hours and lay off eight, while the stokers do four hour shift and lay off twelve.
 It was explained to the visiting sea- men that Russian sailors are never out of job. If their vessel is tied up or in dock for repairs their pay goes on just the same until they go to sea again, whether in the same or another verssel. One months vaca- tion with full pay is granted annually when the seamen visit home or take their families on cruise, the expense being borne by the government.

 SAYS DISPATCH

SPOKANE, Aug. 6 (P)-H. M. Han sen, Alaska mail carrier, is going back to the north country as soon as he gets patched up from the results of accident in which he was thrown from sled and lay for hours with the mercury 27 below zero before he was rescued.

 What if fellow ever got in front of one of those street cars," he ex. claimed. "Ill take my chances on a blizzard. And up in our country we are all brothers. When you see man on the trail you stop and say hello. Why, today, around these streets, over 2000 people have seen me and not a one of them has noticed me at all.
 Hansen had his first automobile ride in Seattle June 1, on his way from Alaska to Spokane. He had an air plane ride there too, and said it was fine"

Ohio Lady Making a
 Trip To Bristol Bay On Steamer Starr

From Columbus, Ohio, to Dilling- ham, Bristol Bay via the Interior of Alaska, is the journey now being un- dertaken by Miss c. Olnhausen who is aboard the staunch little steamer Starr, now plying it's way to the far Westward. This is her first trip to the far western country, Miss Oln- hausen said, prior to her departure from Seward Monday, but it will not be the last. She contemplates return ing to Seward in time to catch the Admiral Watson for Seattle.
 Miss Olnhausen debarked at Juneau on her way up from the south, going to SkagWay, thence to Whitehorse, down the Yukon river to Dawson, Fort Yukon and Fort Gibbon, where she branched off to the Panama, coming up this river to Nenana. A trip was saade to Fairbanks and later into the Mckinley National Park. At Anchor. age a few days stop was made, then on to Seward and the westward. The entire journey was replete with en- ioyment and interest and was her first through the above named route, though some years ago, Miss Olnhau- sen made a trip to Southeastern Alaska.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6 (P)-Through the Zenith Radio Corporation of this city, the Associated Press obtained a 3OO- word interview with Commander Me Donald of the steamer Peary, with the MacMillan expedition. Communication was established at 10 o'clock last even ing, at Etam, 3700 miles north of Chi cago.
 Five questions and answers were exchanged in the 90-minute interview. Mcdonald said that he could hear code messages from New Zealand, and had worked in code with England, France and Holland, Sweden and Catalina Isl and. He said he had heard the human voice from Chicago and Schenectady in daylight, and his transmitted voice had been heard in Seattle, New Eng land and London.
 He said Itookashu, an Eskimo guide on the previous MacMillan expedition was with them, and declared he had much difficulty in maintaining two way communications with the radio sets on the three planes with the ex- petition. He also said the Eskimos were greatly enjoying the radio con- certs received by the ship.

DAWSON: Charles Westphal, age 65, who resided about II miles from Steel creek on the Fortymile river, was found dead in his cabin recently by Justus Elden. From all appear ances it would seem the old man had committed suicide as the side of his head was blown off when the body was found. He had visited his nearest neighbor on the 14th of May and bor- rowed a few supplies to carry him on until he could get to the store at Moose Creek. This was the last time he was seen alive and it is believed he killed himself out of sheer desper, ation at his circumstances. He had lost all his supplies in the floods this spring.
