In 19(2 the injured numbered 64, C62, and the killed 8,500. Think of it. Men, women and children, enough to people such a city as Wilmington, strick en down because somebody makes a mis take. In 1895 passenger travel was only five-sixths as heavy as it ;is to-day, but the list of killed and wounded was little more than half so great as the holocaust of last year. With each accident the neighboring community Is aroused. When an attempt Is made to indict di rectors era president, the tublic smiles, and the cynicism Is Justified. Yet In nine cases out of ten the fault is due to Incompetency tolerated, if not coun tenanced, by those in authority. When an army meets with disaster the general may blame his subordinates, but the nation holds him to account. In railroading, as In war, inefficiency is a crime, and as the general is absolutely responsible for his command, the presi dent and directors must be made to an swer to the public. The conviction of a single 2r,ono-a-year man might send a shudder round every directors' table In the country, hut also it might cut down railroad accidents by a third, , Items in Brief.
