SLAUGHTER ON THE RAIL
ROADS.
The Inter-state Commerce
Commission's report shows that
the total number of casualties on
steam railroads during the last
year was 180,123, including 10,
858 persons killed and 109,538 in
jured.
This was an increase of 189
killed and 19,379 injured over the
preceding year.
Of the killed 3,035 were rail
road employes, 318 were passen
gers, and 0,032 were other per
sons trespassing and not tres
passing on railroad properties.
Of the injured 142,4 42 were
railroad employes, 10,380 passen
gers and 10,710 persons other
than employes and passengers.
This is one of the big, bother
some problems that has been be
fore the country since railroads
were started and which appears
to b« as far as ever from satis
factory solution. Trained railroad
men, the expert railroad manag
ers are showing themselves ut
terly incapable of solving this
problem. The number of acci
dents and the list of casualties
goes on increasing every year, in
spite of all the schemes and plans.
It would seem, however, that
when the railroads take a loll of j
life each year greater than the
population of a city, that some
thing should he done In remedy
conditions.
A BIGGER QUESTION AT STAKE.
Dr. Carl Lucas Alsberg, who
has been appointed chief chemist
of the Department of Agriculture,
succeeding l)r. Wiley, has attract
ed attention of scientists by his .
monograph proving lhal “barium j
. is not the chief active principle j
of loco weeds.’’
That will help some, but the
big job before him is lo discov
er the chief active principle of
the food adulterers, fakirs and
misbranders and then find some
plan of killing that principle. Dr.
Wiley made a line start in that
direction. II is up lo Dr. Als
berg (o continue the good work.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
When is a rotary a train? is the
latest.
This is about Ihe lime when
New Year’s swear-offs are badly
frayed at the edges.
That women arc born gamblers
is proved by the fact that there
are mighty few of them but are
•willing to marry.
Sara Bernhardt’s last tour was
not her farewell visit to America.
She expects to come across as
long as the American people do.
When life prisoners are em
ployed in a penitentiary garage
it is a mute way of telling them
to make their get-away if possi
ble. _
The Supreme Court refused lo
pass upon the question, when is
an egg fresh, probably on the
theory that, they wish to avoid
getting addled decisions.
It is entirely right that Sena
tor Clapp’s committee should in
quire into the expenditures of the
several political parties during
the campaign of last, year.
Gen. Sickles, at eight-seven
years of age, says he has his wild
oats sown. It has been a long
and expensive crop to take care
of and has been intensely farmed.
If the Postoffice Department
will place rates on Limberger
cheese in accordance with the
virulence of the smell, it will have
solved another troublesome,ques
tion. _
Sereno E. Payne, one of the
authors of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill, boasts that his election
cost him nothing. The people,
however, feel that they had a big
bill mo pay.
New York cannerymen who em
ploy children of four years age
for ten hours a day, should be sent
to the penitentiary for four years
for every day they have so em
ployed children.
Wilson’s Chicago speech is
quite a reversal of the obnoxious
Pinchol policy of lying up all our
natural resources for future gen
erations or at least until he works
out his coal mines.
It has been found to be much
less expensive to move Hopper
River trains on paper or by the
government telegraph lines than
if is on its right of way, where
the snow is still piled deep.
The Interior Department could
gain a good idea of the popular
ity of their conservation policies
by listening to the examination
of veniremen in cases where con
esrvation regulations have been
broken.
The governor of Michigan an
nounces that he is going to take
up walking as a matter of health.
The governors of some twenty
eight states have taken up walk
ing as a matter of necessity as a
result of the people’s votes.
'll is difficult to understand why
the Titanic hoard should have
spent months to determine that
a vessel should carry a sufficient
number of life boats to carry all
the passengers and crew. How
could they all be saved in case of
a wreck unless there were accom
modations for all?
Two passengers who arrived
from the interior yesterday state
that they were twenty-four days
from Fairbanks, having spent
twelve days in Chitina on the rep
resentation of the peopie that
trains would be running in a cou
ple of days. The traveling public
will soon get on to the fine curves
of the Chitina and Cordova busi
ness men. t

It i- a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
(own and all who are interested in the growth and prosper- '
itv of Valdez, should patroniz home products.
