Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life Work of Edward a Moseley: In the Service of Humanity When a man dies, his worth must be estimated not by what he received but by what he gave, not by what he achieved for himself but by what he achieved for others - for us. If he drew out of life more than he put in, his name must pass into insolvency only to be discharged into a kindly oblivion. If, on the other hand, his services exceed his honors and rewards, the world is his debtor. Edward A. Moseley, Secretary of the Interstate Commerce Commission from its organization in 1887 until his death in 1911, held only a modest office, but in the final accounting he is disclosed a creditor of humanity. At the request of his brothers and as my offering to the memory of a friend, I have prepared this record of his life. Admittedly it is out of proportion to his fame, but so was the work he did for a quarter of a century as champion of laws which have greatly promoted safety, justice, and peace on the railroads of the United States. The story needs to be told all the more because the general public knows so little of the labors of this government official who quietly turned what might have been a routine task into a noble service on behalf of his fellow men.
