We are just in receipt of the itinary information and program of the National Editorial Association meeting at Missoula, and Yellowstone park, July 9th to July 29th, including ilio journey to and from the convcn-ion city. The special train leaves Chicago with an all-steel pull-man equipment July 9th, and the booklet sent with our progiam shows the scenes of interest along the way that makes' a persons mouth water, Scorts of beauli ul scenes are promised us editors who go along, and we will be al-owed to associate with President Harding, who has wired for reservation on; the Editorial Special instead of going by special train which was tendered him. One -of the prettiest scenes in the book-eta is 8woii Lake, near! Kalis-pelf, Montana; where' a -lot or former Pleakantoii, folks no 'reside, The 1 wonderful Mission Range in Montana is another scene that we- can hardly wait- to see; also Flathead We were enjoying the anticipation to the utmost and wondering jf participation would oe as enjoyable as anticipation, when we came across the following in the last page of the booklet, which convinces us that anticipation would have to take the place of participation: Railroad ticket $71.00. Side trip tickets $15.54.

Berth, $56.88. Sleeper "at Missoula, $12.00 Hotel accomodation at Yellow stone Park $47,50. Glacier uotels $25.25 $228.17.

During the lasl 10 years people have been killed and injured in this poultry while trespassing or wailing on radioed tracks and bridges arid unlawfully riding on frt.ght and passer ger trains.

Nine thousand of this numb 3. were children under 14 years of age, twelve thousand were between 14 and 21 years; nine thou sand were hoboes and tramps and the remaining fiHy-four thousand were useful members of society, including clerko, industrial work ers and nal people, tro majority of whom lived in the communities in -vhich they met death or injury. It is generally thought that train wrecks cause most of the casualties on railroads, but tlu is pot the case. Fatalities to trespassers, that is, persons who have no business on railroads, amount to seven times the number of all classes of people killed in train accidemsi This is a needess waste of he-man life and it will be stopped when the public spirited citizens of every community avaken Lethe significance of this' lulling and maiming of human beings. Indeed, great improvement has already been made.
