PRESIDENTS ACT APPLAUDEDThe overtures made by President Harding to the principal allied and associated powers toward obtaining a reduction and limitation, in armaments is a practical etep to minimize the danger of resort to war In settlement of International disputes as well as a movement for the relief of governments overburdened by debt In the effort to maintain the building pace. The manner in which the movement Is greeted abroad shows the longing for a workable plan that will reduce expenditures without menacing national safety. The London Times regards the proposed conference as "fraught with greater possibilities fur good or evil than the Paris conference," while the Daily Mail says, "It is practically an appeal to the human race to have done with wars." The president goes further than armaments in feeling out the sentiment on the subject and includes the Pacific and Far Eastern
accidents are due to lack of precautions. That moro do not occur is due to good luck, rather than any care taken, since many drive across railroad tracks without thinking it necessary to "stop, look and listen." So long as there are grade crossings and people exercise no more precaution than they do now accidents will not only continue to happen, but they will increase in number. The only remedy for such loss of If and maiming is through elimination of grade crosiiings. That would involve an enormous expense which neither the roads nor the public would welcome on a wholesale scale, though It would be of mutual advantage to both and therefore the expense fall on them jojlntly. While removal could not be undertaken at this time on a large scale, the public has It within its power to reduce the number of accidents by exercising ordinary prudence , in crossing a railroad. The man who races a train to a crossing is not only a potential suicide but he is also a potential homicide in that he may also wreck the train and kill those cn board. A railroad system has taken the step of having the watchmen at crossings advise automobile owners who neglect the precautions of safety of the danger their action by mailing a card showing a picture of the result of an accident caused by Just such neglect as theirs. It seems strange that so many are so neglectful of the peril that attends a railroad crossing. 'We may in time reach the condition that already prevailsin England and abolish grade crossings in order to protect those who are reckless as well as these who are cautious, but since that consummation cannot be arrived at at once it would be the part of wisdom for the public n protect itself by exercising caution, while the law should step into punish those who menace not only their own lives but the lives of others also by their total disregard of safety. Even at best there will be unavoidable accidents as long as grade crossings remain.

M. Agreement on these Questions would
be preliminary to the armament proposition. Thus he setiks to reduce not only the implements of war, but Ih-i causes that might lead to uses of those implements. The initiative thus taken by President Harding "harnly can fail to receive a favorable response from all the nations concerned, and in thus leading he is "fulfilling the promise he made to take steps for an as'soiiation of nations foundtd on justice and good faith. ,'Aa is suggested, suck a conference being fraught with great possibilities, it will have the Paris conference and its results as a wariyng what to avoid- Thus it juav become a real peace conference and give us a tangible and workable plan for avoiding war based nojt on force but on justice. It is a great honor to lead in a movement that has such a vast potentiality. That the great nations have conceded the leadership to the United States is evidence of their confidence in our disinterestedness and good faith in the movement.
' , , r" GRADE CROSSING SLAUGHTER. A recent report by the Interstate commerce commission shows that in the last three months for which figures are available 632 persons were killed and 1,500 were injured in grade crossing accidents. The menace of grade crossings in the early days of railroading was not great, but it ha3 grown with time. The travel on tne railways was not nearly so he3vy as at present, and the. movement of trains was but a fraction of that now. There, have been accidents ever since there have been Lxrade crossings, but the number has increased rapidly. s. nee the motor car became common. The worst phase of the Fituation is that a great majority of such
CAR SURPLUS DECREASED. A very good barometer of business conditions is the report of the freight car bureau of the American Railway association in Washington, which keeps a record of rolling stock of all the railroads of the country,
whether it is working or idle. When-traffic is heavy j there never are enough freight cars, and when busijness falls off the cars oh the side tracks of the carriers ! increase. The reports of the association show that cn June 30 the surplus was 373,891 cars. The decrease as compared with the previous week was almost 10,000
cars. This, coupled with reports of increases in forces in railway shops, indicates a turn in the tide of business affairs. It Is possible that it may be of long short duration and that it may not effect many lines; still there is reason for optimism. It is pretty certain that there will be a continued demand for box cars bejause new wheat is beginning to move. Both government and private reports indicate that the wheat crop this year will be the smaller than it has been cf Ir.tc years, but it has been said that wheat growers have no disposition to hold crops this year. Farmers are expected to fell more freely and if they do it will mtan that a large amount of money will be put Into circulation as a result of the exchange in addition to causing further increase in the demand for box cars. Those who watch the business situation from a professional angle are less inclined to be pessimistic Just at present than for some time past. While no boom is expected this year, they seem to be confident that, with the exception of slight reactions here and there throughout the country, the worst Is over as far as summer and autumn are concerned, and that changes in the situation win be all for the better.
