Some day. It may be soon. It may be a long’ time in the future. But just as certain as night succeeds day it will happen. A horrible accident will occur and Valuable human life will be ‘sacri- ficed. And why? All because proper precaution was not taken at the time it should have been exercised. Just an-! other case of unpreparedness. The negligence, the procrastination, that costs life and property every day of the calendar year. All preventable. There are three railroad grade crossings in the City of Casper particularly dangerous. On North and South Center street and East Second street. At’ only one of these crossings is there any attempt made by the railroad company to protect the pub- lic. At the other two crossings, the public shifts for itself, takes its chances with death. Why is this? Surely there is a statute requiring railroad com- panies to provide proper protection for the pub- lic at points where tracks cross the public streets. There must be a city ordinance to the same general effect. If the Chicago and Northwestern Company dreams for a moment that the presence of a flag- man at its crossing on South Center street is ade- quate protection to the public onthe city’s pyinci-|. pal thoroughfare, bearing as.it does, greater traffic than any other street, we fear it does not have ‘a proper conception of safety. The ‘watchman’s presence is only a half measure. A partial ac+ knowledgment on the part of the railroad company of its responsibility. This company should place its watchman in a proper tower to operate regulation barriersjacross the public street when trains approach the cross- ing. There should be the usual alarm to_ notify pedestrians and those who drive vehicles upon the the street. ¢The same provision for safety should be’ applied at the East Second street crossing, where there is now afforded no protection whatso- ever to the public. That accidents have not ‘occurred, is neither ar- gument nor excuse upon the part of the railroad companies. The precaution should be taken before the ac- cident does occur, for accidents are not announced in advance of their coming. Will city and county authorities kindly look into this situation and require these railroad com- panies to do the simple and necessary things the law demands, before some man, woman or child is killed or maimed through their negligence? H. G. Welles, the eminent British writer, de- * claves, after a recent visit among them that. the Russian people are entirely indifferent to politics and form of government. It is not surprising after their past six year’s experience. It is. tiresome being compelled to inquire every morning the form of government for the day. MISSOURI WANTS TARIFF. The secretary of the state board of agriculture of Missouri, speaking for his board and the people of Missouri has sent an urgent appeal to the house and senate committees on agriculture, indicating the immediate necessity of placing a prohibitive tariff upon wool and woolen’ goods coming to the American markets from foreign countries. appeal says: “It is our conviction that the needful legislation of the immediate sort in relation to wool is anew protective tariff on wool and woolen goods, enacted immediaely and set high enough 'to result practically in an embargo against the importation of foreign wools and woolen goods. Will the senate and house save the sheep industry, or will partisanship pre- yent at this short term This country ‘needs a pro- tective tariff on raw and manufactured agricultural products, but the wool situation is pitifully critical and merits emergency consideration.” PROICE SONTHERN REPRESENTATION, | ¥ €or & number of years the United States -gov- | ernment, which guarantees to each and every one|ball, I will send my resignation as a federal judge of its citizens the unmolested right ‘of franchise, | |} outrages for many years, and it has been suffered; The! South, while at the. same time the states so offend- ing are permitted full representation and voting power in the congress just the! same as though the disfranchised votes were voted and counted. This is a crime against the ‘sister states. where fair and honest elections are conducted. The states referred to have practiced election, and since they have persisted in these wrongs, the |” cure is to reduce their congressional representation ‘under the reapportionment, which comes -before the new congress, proportional with the denial or abridgement of the right of their citizens to vote. The eleven Southern states by their: unconstitu- ional practices, have gained an unfair political power for themselves and have done a political fFjustice ‘to other states and brought about a! political imequality among the states which is al- together wrong. Instances may-be cited to show the manifest unfairness. Some of them follow: In the congressional election of 1918 the total vote for representatives in congress in Alabama, which has ter representatives, was 62,345, where- Gown. of MELE Bor TOS. as the total Vote, in Minnésota, which has ten repre-' yxG DIGNITY—Velvet 1 filways bet- ‘sentatives, was 299,127, and the total vote jim/ter wha comaaraeavely madres, for lowa, which has ten representatives, was 316,377. | “ hsire ftv ek tien citi!
