Many OF the tragic mysteries of the sea-
the disappearance Of vessels when no dis
astrous storms have been reported, are be-
heved to be due to the existence Of dere-
HctS. or abandoned hulks, often water
logged, and floating SO low in the water as
not to be easily discovered by lookouts.
These derelicts are recognized as among the
greatest perilS OF the deep. The ocean
pathways between Europe and America are
strewn with such abandoned wrecks The
commissioner Of navigation mas urged
strongly the need of International co-opera-
ton to clear away the existing dangers and
to establish a system of reports that will
greatly lessen the peril in the future. His
plan is to have all mariners abandoning
vessels or sighting vessels already aban-
doned report the location of the derelicts
at once, SO that ships may be sent out to
find and destroy them. The commission
er's suggestions appeal to humanity; but.
aside from the humane view, they are
likely to receive attention from govern
ments because of the purely business con-
siderations involved Not life only, but all
property risked at sea, will be made much
safer If the danger Of dereiicts is re-
moved.

II has been well said that the root of all
discomfort is self-love and yet to apply the
lash Of that aphOrism to the ever-esteened
louisville Courier-Journal and the no-less
sstimable Philadelphia Press is most
painful procedure for those who deem the
application a duty. Both these journals
are of the opinion that national baby
manner" should be appointed by the general
government Our Kentucky contemporary
eeems convinced that much family trouble
and perplexity would be saved and much
humiliation to the bearer prevented il the
right OF naming children was taken away
from parents and given to a government
official The Philadelphia Press concurs
and wakes warm over the sufferings OF
those unfortunates who have ito go through
life bearing a name which is a constant
humiliation to them and in the selection
of which they had no voice" 1t also sug-
gests that If it is impracticable to follow
the Courier-JournalS suggestion and have
a national baby manner. then the law should
permit every young man and woman, when
they arrive at a certain age, to throw aside
the name their parents gave them and
choose a name for themselves Children
have some rights parents ought To be COM
PEELED u respect" II seems to US that not
even a national baby-namer could have
done better than christen the Courier-Jour-

considerable importance to the masses and
popular with the great and growing liberal
called upper house" will accept the chance
to make a few more Of the blunders that
will return to torment 1t in the near future.
Then will come an appeal to the country
and one of the hottest of political campaigns,
in which the advocates of modern govern
mental methods hope to be victorious. In
that event the defeated measures would
again be submitted to the lords for their ac-
ton with a probably unspoken assurance
that II the bills were again defeated out

support any reasonable measure that had
as its object the destruction of an heredi-
tary branch of the national legislature.
Under such circumstances, il the liberal
majority in the commons was large enough

done IN the past in similar struggles. But
the date Of this occurrence is long post

Gently proposed railroad legislation which
gives great comfort and encouragement to
Westinghouse who are anxious to pre-
serve to the city the atrractiveness and
comparative safety for which the capitals
streets are noted. In nearly every instance,
whether extension. regeneration or new
construction Is proposed, IL is specifically
provided that the motive power employed
shall be such as to prohibit overhead poles
and wires. ami IN several cases the use Is
limited to the electric underground conduit.
This limitation is doubtless safe enough,
since the kind of railroad proposed Is the
leading line in miles of track and earnings
IN the city of Buda-Pesth. with its half mil
lion OF people. the most progressive and
fast becoming one of the most beautiful
capitals Of Europe; and since an American
variety Of the underground electric system
Is already in thoroughly satisfactory and
yuccessful operation IN Washington itself.
The proposition of the projected Traction
Company, which is asking a charter. Of the
Rock Creek road. which wishes an urban
underground extension. and Of the Metro
politan road. which pleads practically for
q rechartering, are all. 50 far as the pro-
posed motive power is concerned. entirely
satisfactory 10 the public. The firm stand
which Congress has taken in enacting and
sustaining the wise law which forbids the
erection of any additional overhead wires.
backed by an intelligent and practically
unanimous local sentiment, has convinced
capitalists that no Roadway can be made
toward rapid transit except in obedience to
the often-eSpressed will of Congress and the
people as to the path to be followed. OF
course. Congress, in dsaling with these and
all other street railroad propositions, Will
apply to them all the tests, conditions and
safeguards of which experience has taught
the wisdom. Speculation in new franchises
will be discountenanced, groOved rails will
be insisted upon. proper return to the pub
lie in the shape of taxation VIII be secured
and the most painstaking discretion will be
exercised in selecting any new streets to
be surrendered to car tracks. But if the
other tests can be met the railroad men
who propose the underground motor are
worldly wise in their day and generation.
for Congress and the people Will undoubt-
edly indorse any otherwise unobjectionable
proposal. which will give to the city rapid
transit BY the underground system and eff
fectually shut out the overhead trolley from
the streets of Washington.
