Raeing in ) p,n.e Fog.

1t IS almost incredible, but II seems
true beyond question. that before the
big American liner st, Paul went ashore
on the New Jersey coast she and
the cunarder campanIa had been
racing in a dense fog. The cap
tain of the campania says: "There was
no racing, but we did both go 1t as hard
as we could"
II this was not race perhaps It was
a trial OF speed-and in a fog SO thick
that nothing could be seen. To make
It worse both ships had lost their reck-
onlng and were nine or ten miles out OF
their course on a treacherous coast.
The captain OF the st Paul says he took
a sounding every fifteen minutes. and
the sounding taken just before going
ashore showed that he had plenty OF
water. This convinced him that he was
on the right course.
The pilots say that there are several
deep holes in the vicinity known to them
but not to seafaring men generally. II
the lead touched these holes the sound
ings would deceive, Fortunately no
lives were lost and probably the St. Paul
will be saved. All the same persons
who have occasion to sail the seas Us
passengers would like to be right sure
that there are liners that do not race.
Safety is better than speed II both can
not be found In the same boat.

The career OF Mr.. Cowen, the new
president OF the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road Company, shows what may be ac-
complIshed by ability and perseverance,.
Born on an Ohio farm, the son Of
Pennsylvania blacksmith who became
an Ohio farmer, he worked on his
fathers farm, went to Princeton college
and graduated there. returned to work
on his fathers farm while he studied
law, was admitted to the bar and work
ed hard to make himself a lawyer.
While at Princeton he made the ac-
quaintance of Robert Garrett. and that
led to his being employed by the rail-
road company as its counsel. Mr.,
Governs income from his practice is
thought to have been about $4,000 n
year. AS president OF the railroad
company his salary is $4,000. II
Mr.. cowen had remained In Congress,
which he entered at the beginning OF the
present session. he would have made his
mark there.
Not every American boy can become q
great lawyer, member Of Congress. the
head of great corporation, but the his
tory OF the country teaches that any and
all of these things may be accomplished
without wealth or exceptional opportu-
mites Of any kind. There are thou
sands Of American boys whose pros.
poets are much better than Mr.. Governs
were when he came into the world.

Unfortunately absolute reliance can
not be placed in the news that comes
from Cuba. II is the Spanish policy to
suppress or to tone to suit the Spanish
side all that relates to happenings on
the island. Taking the news as II

that the patriots are in bad way for
want OF arms and ammunition.
From the beginning they have been

and yet. in spite Of the shortage. they

than they have against power to

chase OF supplies.

equipped. from what we know Of him

would bring recognition. and the trI-
umph OF the patriot cause would be ut

The sultan. in refusing admission to
the Red Cross society and admitting
Miss Clara Barton and her associates,
shows that he appreciates the fine dis
tinctlon 'twixt tweedledum and twee-
dledee. So long as the suffering is re-
lieved Il matters little what the agency
is that does the good work. except that
1t is little rasplng to have to submit to
the whIms OF the barbarian who sits on
the Turkish throne.
1t aggravates the situation to know
that the position taken by the sultan Is
made possible by the eonnivance OF one
or more powers that boast OF their civil
izatlon. Russia and France are. per-
haps, most responsible. but the respon-
sibility is shared by all Of them. The
difference is in degree only and does not

II Europe wllled 1t otherwise. the sui
tan could not set himself up against the
prompting of humanity, He would be
compelled to abandon the policy Of bru-
tally which has moved everybody ex-
cept those who hold the reIns OF Euro
pean government.
For that matter, if Europe had been
up to her duty the sultan would not
have dared to order the massacres and
tortures which have become an every
day story among his unfortunate Chris
tian subjects.
