The straw-hat and the negligee are falling like the autumn leaves. And they are going to take care of the Hon. Pad Thickett in the usual way. War, plague, and pestilence are but as naught compared with the deadly railway wreck peril. We quarantine against yellow fever and cholera, but where is the quarantine against the deadly rail way peril? Better road beds, better rolling stock and better men in charge of trains. Then we will hear of fewer deaths. Commissions are paid to look after freight rates —to protect bus iness. But the lives of passengers are not considered. A number of county fairs are budding out in north Georgia this fall. They will be held in Rome, Dalton, LaFayette and other places. Twenty-two thousand people killed and maimed last vear by the railways of the United States, and government does not even inquire how it happened. This is the third time Pickett has run for congress, and it will be the third time he has been defeated when the election is over. —Dalton Citizen. The Carterville News and Cour ant has improved so much of late that it now runs in the Citizen’s class, and that is saying much.— Dalton Citizeu. Hon. G. R. Hutchens has gone to work foi Gordon Lee like a man. He will make a number of speeches over the district against the Rev. Hon. Thad Pickett. The enormous death rate in this country irom railw-av wrecks is utterly without excuse. Why don’t they have the same in Ger many and England? Will the American people sit still and allow themselves killed off at the rate of eleven thousand a year by the recklessly and ineffici ently managed railways? The Rome Tribune’s brave and emphatic stand for law and order is thp kind of thing that is needed all over Georgia to reestablish its claim as a civilized and orderly state. The batteries of the presidential headquarters are now in action. The poor voter is being bombarded by democratic, republican and populistic arguments. The voter is up against it. Slio’ly Not! The independent candidate for congress, we understand, is going about putting people on notice that he is going to contest the election regardless of the vote cast.—Dalton Argus. Congress is in the fool habit of voting contestants a sum, and this is an inducement to contest. That s why the independent proposes to contest, we presume.—Marietta Journal. You’re exactly right! The in dependent candidate gave us to understand that since be made his previous races for congress he has found out that congress paid the expense of a contest and he would know- better now how to act since the time he w-as defeated—Dalton Argus. WANTED-A LIFE-SAVING R. R. COMMISSION. Deadly railway disasters have became so common in the United States that we pass them by with only momentary notice, but the recent New'tnarket tragedy serves forcibly to remind us of the surpassing peril which hangs like a great black pall over American travel. Last year the number of persons killed and wounded in railway disasters in the United States reached the enormous figure of twenty two thousand. Of this number one-half, or 11,000, were killed. Many of the others were hopelessly maimed for life. Such ail enormous slaughter of humanity by the railways is utterly without excuse ! All the wars we have had in a quarter of a century have not cost this nation so many lives. The railway peril has become more deadly than all the plagues and pestileuces that come our way. Yet what is being done by this government to protect its citizens against this all devouring Juggernaut ? Nothing! And all of this destruction of human life is utterly without excuse. The railways of England, Germany and France carry many more passengers in proportion to mileage than do the American roads. The rate of speed is high, the volume of traffic enormous, yet it moves along and you never hear of any such disasters as occurred in several American states during the past year. The German roads do the business. They serve the public ends. The German nation manages to live and get along with the service and nobody is killed. The fact is the German government stands between the passenger and possible disaster. Every safeguard that ingenuity can suggest is employed to protect life, and the result is that the Ger man railway system is, perhaps, the safest in the world. Here in America we have railroad commissions, both state and national, to look after freight rates. These bodies are created with the intention of protecting the pocketbook. But the lives of the people —OII, well, that is an unimportant matter! We have costly and elaborate systems of quarantine and sanitary inspection, but where is the quarantine against railw’ay wrecks or even casual inspection of transportation facilities? But we are under the reign of the Smart Alec and the big idea. The fool idea curse stalks the land. There is a fool notion that every thing must be done quickly. The mutton-headed broker who happens to be in Denver thinks it is all important for him to get to New Yo/k as swiftly ds a bird can fly. With him, and with the public generally, the days of slow schedules are past. They are looked back upon with profound contempt. The whole idea is to get there regardless of risk and hazzard and death. What are a few commo 1 people like engineers and trainmen and those cheap individuals who ride in day coaches? Your Mr. Spurt rides in the sleeper, and he must be in New York by 8 o'clock next morning in order to get through anew grab deal in the stock market. Clear the track! Let the cheap people be ground up like cord wood. Mr. Spurt must get through on time or the world will come to an end! * Here is where the strong hand of the government should come in. It ought to fix itself firmly upon the transportaion system of this nation, and say to Mr. Spurt that if he wants to get on to New York he will have to wait for a train which can carry him without risk to its crew or any one else If Mr. Spurt cannot reach New York next morning he can perhaps do so next week. If his grab deal does not get through at all the country will not be hurt. A standard of the highest excellence should be established and then the government, acting through a system of expert inspection should keep everything from the road bed to the efficiency of the men empjoyed squarely up to that standard. It is idle to say this cannot be done. It can and should be done. Why do the Georgia road and Western & Atlantic not have great disasters? Is it not careful and efficient management? Why does America kill so many passengers and Germany and England kill so few? UUKcW.hWKt AIL tLSE FAILS. „ Jj fojj Best Cough Syrup. Tastes Good. Use Read Vaughan’s ads.
