DO NOT DESTROY OLD

Unless it is true that the

so many miles of them built and

GRADE CHANGES MEAN
RATE CHANGES.

1t is easy to solve the prob
lem of accidents at grade eros
sings by change of grade if
that were the only thing to be
considered. But that creates an
Iother problem of great econom-
lie Importance. Capital invested
in grade changes produces no
revenue. It isn't as if invested
lin equipment or track.
1t would require around eigh-
| teen billions of dollars to eff
| feet the elimination of present
grade crossings. Assuming half
of this amount payable by the
railroads and half by the pub
| lie, it would mean a permanent
increase in capital investment
| by the roads of nins billions of
dollars, or approaching one
half of their total cost.
With the railroads earning
less than five per cent of their
present value, is it not clear
that such an increase in their
capital investment would nee
essitate an increase in rates =?
Is it not also clear that such a
situation is permanent and that
rate increases so induced would
be an added burden on traffic
for all time.
There are two sides to the
problem of accident prevention,
humane and economic, and
while the former must not be
neglected for economic reasons,
neither should permanent eco.
nomic burdens be imposed on
the public nor on railroads I'M
less unavoidable.
These burdens can be avoided
and accidents at grade cross
ings prevented, without burden
ing the people with increased
rates and taxes, by requiring
automobile drivers to stop, look
lin both directions and listen be
fore crossing the tracks.
Grade changes are costly and
should be the last resort. 1t will
cost the public nothing to re-
quire safe practices in issuance
of licenses and in operation of
cars. There will be few if any
grade crossing accidents if snch
policy be followed.

BLESSED BE DRUDGERY

1t is hard to believe. So many
Of those whose work is some
form of drudgery complain a
bout it, instead of being thank
full about it. that the notion
that drudgery is something to
be escaped from if possible has
become widely diffused.
Men commonly yearn to be-
come rich not because they may
use their riches as means OF
serving their fellows but be-
cause bv means of riches they
may be relieved of the neces-
sity of work.
Even the Scriptures them
|selves seem to treat work as an
evil. In the so-called Mosaic &C
count of creation, it is the pen
atty that the Lord imposes up
on the man and woman in the
garden for their disobedience.
In spite of all this--in spite
of the seeming opinoion of the
author of Genesis that the j.
deal state is one idleness, in
which bread may be eaten 9TH
erwise than in the sweat of
ones brow, it is because we
have to go, and go, morning af-
ter morning, through rain and
through shine, to the appoint
ed spot and do the appointed
work; because, and only be-
cause, we have to stick to that
work through the eight or ten
hours, long after rest would be
so sweet because the school
boys lesson must be learned at
g o'clock and learned without
la slip; because the accounts on
the ledger must square to a
cent; because the goods must
tally exactly with the invoice !;
because good temper must be
kept with children, with GUS
toners, with neighbors; in
short, without much matter
what our work be, whether
this or that, it is because, and
only because of the rut, plod,
grind, humdrum in the. work
that we at last get those neces-
sary self-foundations laid ma
mely, attention, promptness, ac-
curacy, firmness, patience, self
denial and all the rest.
The whole makeup of the
human being shows. as some
body has aptly said, that we
are intended for activity. Be-
hold the millions of nerves, and

in a hold-up in front of the factory
on April Is, 1920. Lengthy proceed
ings followed in an effort to obtain
a new trial.
The Sacco.Vanzetti defense commit
tee was organized and raised several
hundred thousand dollars for the de-
tense of the two men. Its appeals
were sent all over the world. The conf
mittee's main contention was that
Sacco and VanZetti were convicted not
on the evidence. but because they had
admitted that they were radicals.
Radicals Demand Leniency.
Radicals in many countries in Eu-
rope and South America made numer-
Gus violent demonstrations in their be-

at some of the American embassies.
After Judge Webster Thayer of the
Superior Court. who presided at the
trial, had denied motions for a new
trial based on a long list of excep-

sets Supreme Court.
On April last the Supreme Court
upheld Judge Thayer's refusal, and on
April the two men were sentenced
to die in the week of July 10.
