Sick Headache.

and effective. In a fow weeks'- tlmo I

Tho Union Pacific has Just issued
figures showing that during tho year
1914 thero was an alarming Increase
in deaths and Injuries resulting from
trespassing upon their right-of-way.
During 1913, there were 37 deaths
and 48 injuries; while in 1914 these
figures have been raised to 48 killed-
and 90 injured.
A email proportion of these accl
dents occurred to tho class known as
"hoboes," tho balance to careless
liters of tho right-of-way. This provbs
that "the short cut along railroad
tracks" Is dangerous in the extreme,
not only to school children but to
working men who walk to work.
Any amount of caution exerted by
lailroad employes will not materially
decrease tho number of accidents oc
curring to trespassers; and it would
from that tho only procedure that
will shorten the list of fatalities is
for tho state legislatures to pass laws
that will absolutely prohibit person.-s
other than railroad employes from us
ing tho railroads' right-of-way.
The readers of this paper would be
astounded upon hearing of a single
accident resulting in the death of 18
persons and the injury of double that
number, and the accident would im
mediately bo investigated and, if pos
sible, the cause removed.
While theso accidents to trespass
ers aro scattered through a number
of states nnd occur at separated
periods, tho total result Is just' as ap
.palling. The responsibility rests upor.

Matures and no effort should bt

cedure to have this unnecessary loss
