Plant apple orchards.
Shut off the deadly railway peril.
The “feel” of autumn is in the
October air.
Now is the time to sow the fall
crop of advertising.
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?

She was thin and weak and

Eight cents a pound is
