Locomotives Cannot Swerve
To Avoid Reckless Motorists
Railway engineers' are carefully
trained in the Yaws of safety, says
as eclbtonlal in the Canadian Nation
al Magazine, They do everything
in their power to avoid aceidents•,
They cannot, however, swerve their
engine from the steel rails on which
it must operate, and this fact tho
anoLorf&t seems' at times to over-
look. Warning bells and lights,
watehntan's flats. and crossing gates
give notice of the approach of tains
yet there are far more ace -Meets
caused by au.tontobiles crashing In-
to the side of trains than by trellis
striking automobiles, It ,is, here
that the co-operation of the motorist
is required.
In one province (Quebec) the
law l'eanlres that every vehln'e
come to a full atop before crossing
a railway track. The observance
of that law would prevent many
oecdemtg, It would decrease the
crop or grey stairs in the heads of
many railroal engineers and in
some cases, would probably in.
crease their working days. But
11 is a la.wrwhich can only be sue
ceseful through the co-operatioi of
the motorist and, if one is to judge
by aotual eyperfence on the high-
way, such co-operation is the ex-
ception rather than the rule.
With another motoring season
gentling well under way it is per,
haps timely to stress the impor-
tance of "safety first' 'at all antes.
Time is important, but the attempt
to save a few seconds In elan ped
Cline, when one le driving a motor
car, may he a,lmatter.et lifts' rola
death in more ways' than one.
Beating the train may seen like
thrilling sport to some drivers. But
it is the cause of most crossing ac-
cidents with their attendant wast-
age of human life and property.
The railways ;preach and practlie
sefety at all times and train 'their
employees along these lines. They
enanot train the motorist to whom
the Irighway is the free and open
road. They can and do, however,
ask his 13a -option in their at-
tempt to reduce the accident tall as
far as posetible, The careful
motorist exercises special ca u`.:nn,
whenever he approaches a railroad
May his tribe increase!

What sort of censorship tau

by people who feel themselves com-
petent to diecus:s anything under

various governments of the world?
That is what the Canadian p•t,1 a-

roartion in turn is responsible to
Parliamentary concern when mi-

that way it becomes a matter of
ltarlomeutary concern when ,,,,I.
dresses are given which dee! won

broadcasting were a private enter
prise In Canada it would 'lie a dlr.
ferent matter.
'Cens'oring broadcasts under such
auspices is different from trying to
censor the press. Newspape.o

fully aware that they are respn 1.

reason they generally attend to
their own censoring before 111.,
prinhing is done.
Free speech is a good theary
when operating tt radio station If
the people who are going on the air
have a fair eltoagh understanding
of the retipons:bility which is at-
tached to .free speech, if broadcast•
