The "Accidentv at Pittsfield.

All accounts agree that the terrible
accident" at Pittsfield, Wednesday,
which crushed the life out of Mr..
Craig and put in jeopardy the lives OF
President Roosevelt, Governor Crane
and others was wholly needless. The
calamity was the result of sheer folly
which it is not too harsh to call
crime. In other cities the streets
through which the President has
driven or where he was speaking have
teen cleared of trolleysls cars. The
mayor of Pittsfield is said to have made
the same request of the local trolley
company, but it was ignored; and not
only that, but the car which crashed
into the Presidents carriage was be-
ing driven at a reckless speed. The
track crossed from one side of the
street to the other and it was here,
cession, that the fatal collision oc-
Cured. 1t was not at corner; there
was nothing to obstruct the
view of the mortorman; but he
speeded his car up alongside the
procession of carriages and, after one
of them had crossed the track, took
his chances of getting his car across
the street ahead of the others. That
the car was under control is shown by
the short distance in which it was
stopped 1t was bad enough to have
cars running on that street at that
time, but for one to run at such n
reckless speed along beside the car
Tiages and attempt to cut across the
street ahead of the procession or
through it, would seem to have been
the work of a motOrman drunk or in
sane. Yet it is certain that the motor
man was neither. He was used to tax
ing chances and driving mis- car at
high speed, and he expected everybody
to keep out of his way. There is a les
sen to be learned from this affair and
it should not be learned the less thor
oughly because the President, as by a
miracle. escaped with his life.

An Important Duty.
belfast JournaD.

Next Monday. Sept. Sth, is election
day, and while there has been but little
activity in the campaign, few speak
ers, no brass bands, and no acrlmonl-
Gus discussions on street corners, 1T
will be a mistake to regard this as an
"off year" The election is an i'm
portant one locally and because of its
influence in other states. 1t is due to
Governor Hill that his clean, honest
and able administration of State az
fairs should have the endorsement of a
full Republican vote; and like recoS-
milton should be given to the valuable
services of Congressman Burleigh, and
to the faithful officials who have been
renominated for the county offices. 1t
is the duty of every Republican to go
to the polls next Monday, and we hope
none will neglect that duty.
