^SPEEDS THROUGH FOG W AND SPREADS DEATH BSK WHITE MOOTAIN EXPRESS W PLOWS 1STO STANDING TRAIN I I Third Serious Wreck on 3Inch CritiL i . cized Koad Brings Daith to J / More Than a Score. K New Haven, Conn., Sept. 2.?Twen-1 B ty-nine persons were killed and nearH ly 50 injured, some of whom may die & in a rear-end collision shortly before A 7 o'clock this morning on the New York, New Haven & Hartford rail road, six miles north of here. The first section of the White > Mountain express, bound for New : m York, speeding along at probably 40 Hp miles an hour in a thick fog, rushed by a danger signal, it is said, and ? crashed into the rear of the second f section of the Bar Harbor express standing 100 feet beyond the block signal. The Waite Mountain engine cleaved through the two rear Pullman rears, both of wood, splitting them in . two and tossing their wreckage and ^ three score mangled human beings, some alive, some dead, on either side of the track. W Boys Caught in Debris. The third car, also of wood, and ' occupied by 40 boys on their way from a summer camp at Manmouth, Me., was lifted into the air and fell on its side crumpled up, crushing two of the boys to death and injuring others. ~ ** *V. ^ r> f + V?o twn TPfl T* I OUUie U-L LI1C vivuuio yjJL v.u\. v .. v * ~ t Pullmans were hurled from berths over a fence paralleling the track 50 feet distant; mattresses, bedding and clothing found lodgment in the telegraph wires. It was the third serious wreck the New Haven has suffered within a year, and inaugurated the first day of the regime of Howard Elliott, the newly elected head of the road. Mr. Elliott, returning from his summer home in New Hampshire to assume his duties, passed over the scene of the wreck on an earlier train less than an hour before. Back From Yacations. L Practically all the passengers o:a W both trains were returning home from enmrrtor anrl all hilt two of a camping party of nine, guests of S. Crozer Fox of Elkins Park, returning from Maine, were wiped out. Fox was among those killed. No one was hurt in the White Mountain train. Admit the Fault. The New Haven officials were frank f to admit tonight that the socalled "banjo" block signal system, which on this part of the line has not yet been replaced by th? semaphore system recommended by the public utilities commission last December, was in a measure responsible for the wreck, although the question as to whether the engineer of the White Mountain I train, Augustus B. Miller, was making too much speed under the weather conditions is under investigation. According to Vice President Whalev of the New Haven, it would not have been possible at the speed the train was making, for Engineer Miller to have stopped within 1,500 feet after he saw the signal. The engineer did not see it, he said, until he was almost on it, or scarcely more than 100 feet from the rear of the Bar Harbor express, and at the same moment he heard the torpedoes. The Trothfnl Editor. A lower Illinois editor, declaring he was becoming tired of weilding the whitewash brush in the matter of obituaries, has decided to reform and tell the truth just once. His comment on the death of a well-known citizen in the community follows: "Died, ,aged 56 years, 6 months' on^ 15? r?3vc nppppcpd a rnild mannered pirate, with a mouth for | whiskey and an eye for booty. He came here in the night with another man's w?fe and joined the church at first chance. He owes us several dollars for the paper, a large meat bill, and you can hear him pray for six blocks. He died singing "Jesus Paid It All," and we think he is right?he never paid anything himself. He was buried in an asbestos casket, and his many friends threw palmleaf fans in the grave, as he may need them. His tombstone will be a favorite resting place for the hoot-owls.?Exchange.

Never in modern history has there : been so many movements organized in the United States to help the farmer as at present, and there are many "cure-alls" with free samples for every ill that besets agriculture. No farmer should put out a "No Help Wanted" sign, but it is important that he employ only the kind of help he needs. A great many people appear to believe that because a farmer pulls off his coat when he thinks,?that he is not capable of understanding his problems. Men can sit in libraries entirely surrounded by books and papers and concoct schemes to cover the valley with grain fields and the hills with flocks and herds, and hon- j estly believe they can make the farmer enough wealth to ransom a king, - x, X but the farmer Knows Deaer man uu exchange magic for common sense. Men skilled in trading may feel capable of instructing the farmer in the j art of cheating nature, but the farmer knows that Mother Earth will not be deceived. The problems of * agriculture are as serious as the! multiplication table and they cannot j be solved by agricultural magicians making miracles to order or by seeking marketing through faith, hope and charity. It is a cold business proposition. The farmer can only be helped through common sense and coporaHrm The farmer is able to get about on the farm, but he loses his way in the market places and it is; there he most needs assistance. Too Many Organizations. There are too many agricultural associations. The mania for organization is causing confusion of effort onri a u-astine: of energy. Everybody including the government, wants to organize the farmers, and if the farmer joined all the associations, read their literature and attended their ordinances, he would have no time to plow. It is passing strange that our State legislatures will appropriate thousands of dollars, much of it to be used in organizing agricultural associations in localities where the farmers are already thoroughly organized, and ofttimes business men's associations send out emissaries to organize the farmer and at best they can only hope to duplicate existing organizations. The farmer does not need organization as much as coonoratiim nnri nlans should be formu iated by which the government caneffectively co-operate with associations which the farmers have organized, and business men should cooperate in their efforts with regular farmer's organizations. Government Co-operiit!on. The recent appropriation of $50,000 by the Federal government for marketing, followed by an appropriation of $15,000 by the Texas legislature, and with other States giving consideration to marketing problems, renders an imperative necessity for organization among the farmers. The farmer can produce without organization, but to successfully market, he must unite with his neighbor. Our governments, both State and national, are now brought face to face with the problems of agricultural organization in order to deal successfully with the marketing problem. | The National Farmer's union is I the most powerful organization on the western hemisphere, and it has taken half a century of effort and hundreds of thousands of dollars to J build up the farmers to their present degree of organized efficiency. This | powerful machinery already in operation should be utilized by the government in their marketing plans and all local unions should be willing to co-operate with governmental agncies in solving the market problems. The farmer is always inclined to look a gift horse in the mouth, but the government is his, and in accepting the good offices of government he is taking his own money and utilizing his own agencies. Every voter who gets garden seed from his congressman knows there is power in government and can realize how important it is to find a market for the products. In taking Hold or marketing, me ' government is tackling the biggest business proposition of any age or nation and one that will require the combined efforts of all the powerful agencies of civilization. The producer must thoroughly organize the railroads, express agencies, parcel post and all gigantic forces in commtrce !must be swung around the proposition | in an orderly and harmonious manner, and governmental assistance is j necessary in order to develop working plans. The Texas YT:it. The nation can learn many lessons of importance in co-operation from the people of Texas. We are the first State in the union to appropriate money exclusively for the study of marketing plans. We are the only State where the bankers are financing the distress cotton at a low rate of interest; our legislature has passed a warehouse bill making cotton ? ? ? j uerunuates liesuuaiuie itiiu a.s guuu aa government ^onds, the first of its kind to be placed on any statute book. We are the first to arrange to use the express companies as a medium of distribution bet/ween the producer and consumer. We have organized co-operative gin companies, owned exclusively by farmers and operated in their interests; we have established a Central Selling agency for cotton wnh facilities for handling the 1913 crop, and otherwise afforded assistance to the producer in the sale of his products. These results have been brought about, in the main, Dy tne ousiness interests co-operating with the Farmer's union in their work. The farmer cannot be helped until he organizes, and the government cannot help the farmer except through organization. Newspaper Changes Hands.. Ridgeway cor. The State.
