MR. WATSONS EDITORJALS RAILROAD MURDERS! (Continued from page 1.) pression; but what painter in words or colors can body forth the horrors of a lingering death in the flames of burning cars, with the groans of the dying and the shrieks of the maimed ringing in one’s ears? Criminal Negligence! That is the insatia ble murderer. How long will it be before hv is brought to justice? The Coast Line Road cleared 30 per cent net earnings several years ago —and watered its stock thirty per cent; today the Depart ment of Justice is after that Railroad, th * criminal side of the Federal Courts, for its refused to obey the law as to safety appliances. Why isn’t President Emerson guilty before God and man for everv life lost on his Coast Line Road for lack of those safety ap pliances? The South Carolina Commission and the Virginia Commission, and the National Inter state Commission have all been after the Southern Railway Company for non-com pliance with law, the fault of the corporation being the failure to provide safety appliances, to remove rotten crossties, to use heavy rails, and to spend sufficient money to make the roads safe. Why wasn’t Spencer responsible, and why isn’t Finley responsible, for the loss of life caused by these non-performances of duty? Did you read the newspapers of Saturday, May 11 ? If so, you saw where Harriman was watering the stock of two of his roads one hundred and eleven million dollars! Did vou read the papers on the Monday fol lowing?

A train load of passengers, going at terrific speed and rushing into a defective switch; then a shattered train, and a scene of suffering and death which beggars description. Some thir ty-five people killed outright, and those were the victims which suffered least. Os those who were scalded, whose flesh was cooked in the boiling water, whose skins peeled off when their clothes were removed—who can tell the agony? Think of this: One passenger was eating at a corner table; the wreck came; the hot water tanks poured their contents over him; brave rescuers drag ged him from under the scalding steam; he murmured, “Thank God,” and died. And it might just as well have been me, or you; my wife or yours; my child, or yours! It is liable to happen to any of us that travel cn the Railroads. And at the very time this defective switch was sending thirty-five men to sudden death in California, the President of the road was in New York busy at his old trick of watering the stock! Why shouldn’t criminals like E. H. Harri man be sent to the gallows for murders oc casioned by his Criminal Negligence? Why should Emerson and Finley be immune from prosecution? They are quick enough to jerk up some little fellow —some signal man, or train dispatcher—and make a scapegoat of him; why shouldn’t the real criminals be pun ished? The real murderers, in the sight of a just God, are the managers and chief owners of the roads who refuse to obey the law, and thus cause these awful losses of human life.

BOX 297, NASHVILLE, TENN. A LETTER TO MR. WATSON. My Dear Sir:—One of my favorite Biblical phrases is that in which Christ commanded his followers to “render unto Caesar, the things which are Caesar’s,” etc. With this expression in mind, attached I am sending you a clipping which appeared in the New York Journal a few days ago, and which I felt that in justice to yourself, you should see, that you might know that one who serves the people unselfishly, does not go entirely unappreciated. 1 he question I put to Editor Brisbane was the outcome of a political argument I had with some of the Republican leaders of my county. Among the many things they attributed to the administration, and to which I took issue, was the promotion of the rural free delivery. I quickly challenged them on that, and our ar gument finally centered itself on that point. More, I hope, on account of my youthfulness than doubtful veracity, they hotly contended I was wrong. I, fully convinced that they had not beaten me on argumentative theory, re solved that I wouldn’t be beaten on record, if I could help it. I acted on their suggestion to write the Journal editor to prove my case. You can realize what a consolation it was to read the reply. I underscored the article “A light to lighten the Gentiles and a glory to thy people, Israel,” and mailed each of them a copy. Mr. Watson, I trust the time will come when there will be a universal recognition of your services to the people. Personally, I appre ciate most highly your vindication of popular rights, and I hope, that you may live long to receive the gratitude of appreciative people. Most truly yours, W. C. ELLIS.
