SAFETY CAMPAIGN

During the next twelve months the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Safety
Department will concentrate it's eff
forts, in campaign which the
Safety Section of the American
Railway Association has started, to
reduce the number of personal in
juries to employees by 35 per cent
by the end of the year 1880, or dur
ing the next five years, at the rate
of a seven per cent reduction
year.
The present campaign to prevent
accidents among employees will stress
two particular phases Of the safety
subject each month instead of en-
phasizing all the features, as has
been the custom in previous ac-
cident prevention crusades. The
two specific causes of accidents
selected by safety officials will be
given wide publicity among the en-
ployes by the use of large posters
and bulletins conspicuously placed,
calling attention to safe and unsafe
practices and appealing to employees
to guard life and limb, not only
of themselves, but others. Statis-
tics will also be bulletined monthly
showing the number of accidents to
employees from railroad operations
and with suggestions as to how to
avoid being hurt similarly.

is NEW YORK A MENACE ?

is NEW YORK A MENACE +?
From Board of Temperance and
Public Morals.
Is New York menace ? The
west wants to know. Throughout
great part of the territory Of the
United States the people are asking
whether or not they have created a
Frankenstein in building the gigan-
tic city Of which they are so proud.
The whole country has assailed
the indecency of certain large
group of magazines and of the pro-
duct of certain popular novel writer's.
Most Of this nastiness is coming out
of New York City.
Fully two years ago there was a
nationwide outburst of indignation
over the character of theatrical ex-
hibitions emanating from New York
City. Particular objection was had
to nakedness, profanity, blasphemy
and obscenity in these productions.
Now the word comes from New York
that the present season is to be the
profanest and nakedest in American
history
From New York, emnnates most
of the propaganda melting to viola
tionf of the prohibition law and at
lacking the standards of Ameri-
canism which Greenwich calls
puritanism."
No great city in the world has a
larger group of high-minded, pat
riotic, intelligent business men than
New York. They have considered
themselves, and the country has been
glad to consider them. custodians of
the financial power of the country
and its leaders in social development
But recently the great mass of I'M
American people which plaques that
city have seemingly found that they
are in actual majority and are con-
vinced that they do not need to
consider those with American habits
of life within the city's borders, nor
those with 'puritanical" habits Of
thought out in the vast spaces where,
in their opinion, the Indians howl
and the buffaloes roam.
If New York has the safety of it,
own future in mind, it will apply
pressure upon theatrical producers
publishers of erotic literature ane
the propagandists of crime.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
OCTOBER 4-1O.

Since it is to his home that every
man instinctively goes in quest OF
absolute safety there is grim irony,
more than a little, in the revelation
that somebody's dwelling suffers at
tack by fire every three minutes, ap-
proximately-that the average year.
Iy destruction of homes approaches
$66, 900. Plainly, the safety
that he seeks is not to be
found around the average American
hearth.
1t appears from the published
record that four of the six leading
causes of fire in the home-Defec-
tive Chimneys and Flues; Sparks on
Roofs; Stoves, Furnaces, Boilers and
their Pipes, and understanding
individually are preventable by the
exercise of proper care and common
sense.
The August issue of Safeguarding
America Against Fire presents COM
plete plans for community observ-
ance Of National Fire Prevention
Week. The National Board Of Fire
Underwriters, New York, stands
ready to do everything within its
power to facilitate. the Campaign
and will welcome communications
from fire chiefs, local agents, NUM-
cipal officials, school authorities, the
membership of business organiza-
lions and all others who will partici-
pate in the event.
Surely people virile and far
sighted enough to found a nation
can muster sufficient intelligence
and strength of will of preserve it
from the wasting of fire-starting
with, their homes.

TWO DIFFICULTIES OF PRoHI.
BITION ENFORCEMENT I

Muck is being said of the diff
ficulty of prohibition enforcement.
but the two chief difficulties are
frequently overlooked.
The first difficulty is the fact that
SO many of the states in the Amer
lean union have practically abdicated
their self-government. This is not
only true in the enforcement OF
prohibition, but in regard to many
other matters. There is a new ane
regretable dependence upon the fed
eral government. The actual func-
ton of the federal government in
prohibition enfocement relates to the
control of smuggling, of major
sources of supply, of the proper
handling of Industrial alcohol, etc.
1t is the bounden duty of every
loyal state to use the police of its
local and state organizations in sucl
way as to Suppress the bootlegger
the small moonshiner and the keeper
of the blind pig. Some strong pro
hibition states, which for a time
made the mistake of depending too
much upon the federal government
are now undertaking anew their
local duties.
The second greatest duty in the
enforcement of prohibition is the
inadequate support of prohibition
officers. Few men know the pit
tances upon which these men arc
supposed to exist and fewer still
realize that they are compelled to
finance the government operations
by furnishing advance expense which
is seldom repaid in less than sixty
days. The wonder is not that some
prohibition agents have gone wrong.
but that so few of them have gone
wrong. The best protection against
bribery is character. but is is wei
to fortify character by properly sup
porting mans wife and children
Hungry children and threadbare
wives are frequently the innocent
allies Of the tempter'

MARYLAND's WET CONGRESS
MEN SCORED

Four Maryland Representatives In
Congress, whose attitudes he called
g outspokenly wet" were assailed as
"a disgrace to the State and Balti-
more" by George w. Crabbe, super
intendent of the Maryland Anti
saloon League, on Sunday last in an
address at Govans Methodist Epis-
.copal Church. Mr.. Crabbe mention
ed no names.
He characterized Maryland's re-
action to the enforcement OF the
Eighteenth Amendment and the Vol
stead act as un-American and vic
ious. Near the close of his br1el
address he expressed wish that II
the not too distant future the State
might ''have a Governor of which il
need not be ashamed.
Referring to the recent conviction
of Sidney Welch on a charge OF as
sault in the, Circuit Court for 81
Mary's county, Mr.. Crabbe asserted
that WEIGH had been the victim OF
mob violence because he had aided
his country by giving information
against liquor law violators to Fed
eral agents. He called attention tc
WEIGHS wife and three children
who, he said, Unjust weep and may
starve while the father languishes
in jail"
Eighty per cent of the rag-clad
drifters who come to various charit'
able associations for aid, Mr.. Crabbe
said, are from other States, ane
volunteer the information that they
came to Maryland because 1t Is
known throughout the Union to be
wet and wide open"
The conditions of lawlessness arc
intolerable, Mr.. Crabbe continued.
"They are reproach to the
churches and to the spirit OF sober
honest responsibility which-while
laten-endues the majority of tho
people of our Commonwealth" the
dry leader said. "The superciliouf
and sneering manner affected BY
certain Baltimore papers is not Q
credit to them" ,

In the opinion of DR.. Howard A
Kelly, of Johns Hopkins University
Baltimore, "The Eighteenth Amend
ment is undoubtedly the greatest
community health measure ever
enacted by any nation. Our
own day is proud of its eminent ex
perimental psychologists whose re
searches justify the declaration that
alcohol is rarely if ever of any use
that it is not remedy for disease
chat it is a nerve depressant, and
above all, that it is the basic factor III
many serious diseases. The large
majority of our best physicians have
abandoned its use, and tens OF thous-
ands do not take the trouble to
secure a permit to prescribe it."
