MILLIONS OP FARMERS BANKRUPTED BY THREE
YEARS OF REPUBLICAN NATIONAL RULE.
Department Of Agriculture Revealing Extent Of The Distress Which
Has Been Experienced By "Tillers Of Soil"—5 Or 6 Millions
Of Men, Women And Children Involved In This
Wholesale Ruin.
(From the Washington Correspondent of The Jeffersonlan.)
Official figures compiled and published by the Department of Agriculture are revealing the extent of the distress which has beep experienced by the agricultural producers of the country during the last three years of Republican control of national affairs. Practically a million farmers have been bankrupted. It is estimated that five or six millions of men, women and children, have been involved in this wholesale ruin of agriculture values.
The Department of Agriculture conducted a special inquiry among the farmers of fifteen States of the East North central region in which there are a total of 2,289,000 owners and operators of farms. Replies were received from about 2,400 of these farmers. The results of this inquiry indicate that in the section studied more than 108,000 farmers had lost their farms or other property through foreclosure or bankruptcy, more than 122,000 had lost their holdings without legal proceedings, and nearly 373,000, although practically ruined, had kept their property only through the leniency of creditors.
While these farmers are in pover-

ty and distress the Republican Administration is devoting all its energies to the task of reducing surtaxes for the wealthiest classes in the country. The Alministration's insistence on the enactment of the Mellon tax plan in preference to any other would consume practically all the present session of Congress and thus prevent the passage of any legislation for the relief of the farmers.
lated. "The Twentieth Century" now means, not one train but many; not the education of a half dozen enginemen, but of half a hundred. To train a few crack runners is one thing; to be able to run several extra sections over ten divisions on two days' notice is quite another thing. In short, perfect railroading is in this age a tremendously perplexing problem, and all this chance-taking, combined, must bring disaster, sooner or later.
It is no wonder that the automatic train-stop (including its own new dangers) is coming to find some favor even with conservative signal engineers. The New York Central, along with other roads, has for months been expending thought, money and varied efforts in the attempt to devise an automatic tran-control system—not a mere stop—¦ that can be used on its very busy lines and not cause more troubles than it cures. How far we must yet go in this direction before reaching perfection, even in theory, is yet to be seen. The present disaster will most certainly quicken progress all along the line.
The human brain in the locomotive cab is a better machine, year by year, and no one can deny the real improvement that has been accomplished in the last dozen years; the best engineman make fewer mistakes. But the operation of scores or hundreds of fast and heavy trains does not depend simply on finding a lot of runners with good brains— but on the smooth working, day in and day out, of a vastly complicated administrative machine; and the demand for additional mechanical and electrical devices, to check the human element, is entirely natural.
The fact, however, remains that each new report on a serious collision shows where we have failed to make use of the safeguards which are already available. The records of the Bureau of Safety of the Interstate Commerce Commission are full of well-known lessons which have been public property for years. The particular lessons of the Forsyth collision can not be formulated until the results of the detailed investigation are available; but it will be an unheard-of thing if the report does not disclose more than one contributing cause. If first reports are true, the engineman had passed two or more caution signals at high speed and had not slackened materially until he passed a good distance beyond the second one; whereas everybody agrees that the only entirely satisfactory way to run such a train as that at full speed, especially in a foggy atmosphere, is to drop back far enough to get all distant indications clear. The New York, New Haven and Hartford finds decided satisfaction in its rule that at every cautionary signal the engineman must not only reduce speed (which may mean much or little), but must at once bring his train under control. This rule deserves more consideration than it has received. The informed reader will recall other rules, essential to the highest safety, which every now and then are found to have been relaxed or ignored, even on our best railroads.
Discussion of this disaster will include much talk about automatic

train-stops, automobilists' carelessness, and the duty of doing away with grade-crossings, in all of which topics there are lessons a-plenty; but the immediate lesson, as regards the lives of passengers in sleeping-cars on foggy nights, is to do everything humanly possible to have a perfect engineman, with an experienced and conscientious fireman, on every fast train. The Bureau of Safety has set forth this lesson many times, and probably will now have to do so again.
