CITY OFFICIAL
DANGER .SIGNALS AT Railroad crossings unprotected by signals that
RAILROAD CROSSINGS warn the public of the approach of trains are
mighty dangerous places and especially so when the approaches to them are
shut off from a full view of a considerable stretch of track.
This is the trouble with several of the crossings on the Southern Pacific.
One of them is right in the heart of the city. The railroad has either over
looked or neglected the signal at the point where Seventeenth street crosses
the track and has also forgotten the warning bell at the place where the Park
place Road and the right of way intersect.
. Theseare dangerous places on the line of the road and the city and county
authorities should take the question up at once with the railroad officials and
have the lives and property of the public better protected at those points.. At
both places, the track is screened from view and accidents are imminent at all
times. In the city, the approach gives no view whatever of an oncoming
train and travelers may be dashed into pieces or ground to bits
before they know of its presence in the block. There is no warning
signal, no bell to protect the public from the accident that may at
any time happen at that point.
These things are not as they ought to be. The railroad has either neg
lected to place that bell there or the matter has been overlooked, for certain
ly it would not help the company in a suit for damages were the jact brought
out during the trial that the bell had not been placed at the crossing and
that the traveler could not see the track for any considerable distance. Of
course, such facts would be brought out in any Case that might be filed
against the company and the damage that the average jury would assess
against such a concern would be heavy.
It is very probable that the road would meet the demands of the city and
county without delay were the matter brought to its attention. - No delay
is justifiable in such a case, neither "should there be any delay in making
the correction of the fault on the part of the company. The road has just as
much an obligation to protect the lives of the public as have the city and
cunty authorities in the regular discharge of their duties. Tha.t those author
ities should see that the company takes such steps to remedy the oversight or
neglect is obvious and with reason expected.
Crossing are dangerous things anyway. Every guarantee to the safety
of the public should be given that can be given. In the construction of
track, in the use of equippment, in the various lines and through the various

TIJE west is a little young in the United States perhaps, hut I don't
know. It is at most an impression. However, as I traveled east in
the United States from St. Paul to Chicago, to New York and
New England, the country SEEMED TO GROW OLDER every day.
And the older a country gets the MORE IT LEARNS though the les
sons are sometimes costly ones to cherish the fundamental guarantees
. established for the protection of its liberty the more respect it has, let
, ns say, for courts and constitution. ,
The methods which lead to success in one sphere of endeavor may
well rum a nation in another. It is because you are NOT BOUND
BY TRADITIONS, because you are willing to try new ideas and new
ways of doing things, that your material progress has been so marvel
ous. But and this is important it was NEW INVENTION WHICH
MADE' THE NEW IDEAS AND NEW METHODS FEASIBLE,
; if npt imperative. Electricity and steam are new tools to mankind, the
weapons of modern progress. They are new, but the factor of political
progress is man himself, and no new kind of man has arisen. MAN
HAS NOT CHANGED. Heevolves slowly and imperceptibly. --
IF A NEW RACE OF MAN COULD BE BORN OVERNIGHT AS SU
PERIOR TO US AS STEEL AND ELECTRICITY ARE TO WOOD AND
BEASTS OF BURDEN, THEN THE POLITICAL LIFE OF A NATION
MIGHT MAKE PROGRESS AS ASTOUNDING ASTHE MATERIAL DE
VELOPMENT OF YOUR EVERYDAY SURROUNDINGS. BUT IF WITH
THE MAN OF TODAY, THE ONLY TOOL THE BODY POLITIC HAS,
WE VENTURE TO DISREGARD THE LESSONS OF THE PAST AND
TRY NEW IDEAS AND NEW WAYS WE SHALL FALL INTO CHAOS.
