A VOTE ON THE ATKINSON BILL. | THE RESERVOIR RESEKVATIONS, The “Star” Gives Opportunity for a True Expression of Public Opinion. Tux Stan calls the attention of its readers, men snd women, to the cottpon petition printed below. It asks each of them to read the peti- tion carefully, and, if the requests which it contains meet his or her approval, to sign it, cut it out, and send it by mail to or hand it in at Tue Star office. The petition is put in such shape that every citizen anxious to protect life and to improve the conditions of railroad ocoupation can sign it, whether he favors the removal of the station from the mali or not, and whether he is from south, east or northwest Washington. The people of South Washington will natur- ally seize with eagerness the opportunity to Protest against the surface tracks which un- necessarily obstruct, injure, threaten and kill them, and againsta measure which perpetu- ates the evil conditions that now exist and which is sustained only by the foulest slander of their section. The people of East Washington, suffering like those of South Washington from an unnecessary multiplication of surface tracks and grade crossings and illegal encrosch- ments on the part of the railroad which trav- erses their section, will reasonably join with beart, soul, mind and strength in the move- ment against grade crossings and the Atkin- son bill For the evils which South Washing- ton endures are their evils also, and this tight is their fight, Nor will Northwest Washington, though not ‘a direct sufferer, be indifferent, The obstruc- tive danger-belt of surface tracks between the river front and the main city endangers the lives of thousands from the northwest as they pass to and from the river on business or pleas- ure, The modern city is « unit, and what injures one section should be felt by all, The public spirit which builds up great cities is based upon this sentiment of common interest, Manslaughter by railroad in two sections of the capital is a concern of the whole city, like the question of a new bridge in the southeast and a Columbus Park in the northwest. The main evil to be remedied in this case is also of general instead of merely local concern beenuse it threatens human life. When murder is to be checked it is not necessary that appeals for sid shall be addressed to a next-door neighbor, It is sufficient if the cry for assistance comes to the ears of a fellow man. The time is now favorable for securing from the railroad what the people seck. It is asking that its illegal acts be legalized and that valu- able privileges be granted to it. The attention of Congress has been called to its affairs, and that body shows disposition to deal fairly with the people. If this opportunity be wasted the chances are that no other so favorable will ever arise. It will be criminal negligence to fail to act promptly, and will throw upon all to whom the neglected opportunity is attributable share in the responsibility for future blood- shed at grade crossings.
