II is not unusual for commander Of a
ship to be exoneratod from responsibility
in a collision, but IL is decidedly rare for
an inquiry into such circumstance to
result in CONGRATULATIONS ana warm COM
mendGton for the master. That how
ever, is the happy outcome of the case
of the commander Of the warship Maine,
which ran into the Consolidated's pier in
New York harbor and smashed things, the
other day. IL was case of running down
the pier or rammng an excursion
steamer. The latter accident would
doubtless have meant appalling loss OF
life. while the former could only result
in the destruction Of property. IL took a
quick witted master to grasp the situa-
tion and order his ship to 30 bang into
the dock as aid the gallant captain OF
the Maine.

No one can justly assert that the cor
poration OF Brown University does not
seek TO conserve the interests Of the insti-
tuition over which IL presides.
And also. the protesting faculty un-
doubtedly has the welfare OF tho college
at heart
It Is not at all likely that, personally,
President Andrews Is not held In the
same esteem with the corporation as with
the faculty.
The fact, however that so large a pro-
portion of tho faculty disagrees with the
point of view taken by majority of tho
corporation makes clear a very serious
division upon a matter of policy TO DO
pursued for the highest interests OF the
college.
IL can hardly be claimed that the
faculty has DO right 10 interfere or
oppose the action of the corporation since,
whatever the technical question OF priVi'
lege, no institution. business or educa-
tional. can DO expected 60 thrive wheye
the employer and the employed hold
views Numerically opposed In the matter
OF methods.
President Andrews seems In very
effective way, however, to have removed
the issue from discussion by fling mis-
resignation.

ALL BOOMING.
New Tariff ReviveS the
Iron Trade. 81
Mills All Over the Country
Run Full Time.
Steady Growth In the Demand for
All Kinds of Products.

New York, Aug. 6-From all sections
of the country, particularly from the
milling regions, where the basis OF sup
plies are located, come tidngs Of rapid
revivals In the iron and steel trades. The
great iron and steel plants are one by one
starting up full time for the first time In
many months.
So far this movement has manifested
itself not so much by an advance In
prices as by q steady growth In the de-
mand of the many products OF iron.
Although this improvement has been I'm
progress for couple OF months it mas
been particularly stimulated since tine
new tariff law went into efiecs.
The experience of old iron men is that
the Improvement will be greater when the
public fully realizes that prosperity has
come to stay and nobody need feel any
hesitation la ordering oil the iron and
steel he needs, regardless OF the prevail
ing prices
The coming rush. or boom, as some call
it, will probably lot be accompanied by
high prices, in the opinion of experienced
milling men, because the iron interests In
this country are too exten nsive, ana In
some districts, as in the South, tho ore
can be taken out too cheaply to permit
the northerners TO have monopoly at
their own price.
The mills that are starting up through
ont the land report heavy demand from
all lines of trade, compelling many OF
them to work full time, for tho first
time In. two or three years.

THE WORST VICTIM OF DOG DAYS.

POLICY. PoLICYl PoLICYi

a
1t is a mad and fascinating game.
1t appeals TO the masses.
A dime will lot you In.
And the possible winnings are far more
nlluring than any gambling game ever
Invented.
The peculiar wickedness of policy lies
In these two facts-the smallness OF the
stake required and the bigness Of the possi-
BILE winnings combining to allure the very
class of people who can Ill afford to risk a
single penny from their hard earned
money.
As matter of fact the possible earn
ings are only barely possible. They are
about as remote as the pot of gold into
which the rainbow dips.
AS winnsr for the policy managers,
the game, as illustrated In The News
exposure, Is stronger than stealing"
Better 90 forth on the highway and ask
some passerby to hold you up and go
through your pockets, than play policy.
Hundreds Of poor men play policy In
this town and feed the rapacious policy
sharpers.
The game is wide open despite plenty
of law to stop 1t and plenty of informa'
tion as to Its conduct and carrying on.
Municipal authorities with sufficient
scutcness OF vision to see the trolley cars
run ND Westminster street cannot fail to
discover the policy game unless they pur-
posely put on bIinders or look very hard
the other way.
Out with the policy abominationl
Down with tho policy vampires
The offonse that goes on within bis
QUITS throw Of City Hall Is an insult TO
the community.
That the authorities suffer 1t to live
thus glaringly and denantly would make
them laughing stock, did it not com
mand most serious consideration and the
unqualified condemnation Of the men
elected to enforce the peoples law.

be forgotten and lived down before this end
IL reached.
Bat maybe the recogn ition OF seemingly
novel way for woman to ''fall'-as Alice Bar
rett did, for instance-may help TO carry the
world to that end faster than all the argu-
ments Of social reformers and advocates OF
equality Of the sexes.
At any rate, the unfsirness of making so
cial distinction tbetween the sexes in matters
OF vice and Of virtue seems impressivsly sug-
gested II woman is to be held accountable on
the same level rs man-as. Of course. she
must be now that her development carries her
into sphere that Is presided over by tho
statute books-and at the same time is TO be
held strictly to account under laws that dis
criminate against her and from which man is
reasonably free.
Don't you think so?
