THE ENGINEERS ovERcoNFl.
DENCE,

Philadelphia Medical Jounrnal-The
dying engineer to whose alleged over
sight the recent frightful wreck on the
New Jersey Central railroad, near
Plainfield, has been imputed as re-
ported to have confessed that he was
not at the lever of the throttle for
some minutes just before the collision
occurred. II this confession is au-
thentic. it will open the eyes of the
travelling public to what may some-
motive going at full speed That an
engineer can deliberately leave the
throttle. with his engine going at six
ty miles an hour, in order to repair
some minor break in an injector, will
be startling news to many people. This
revelation of human foolhardiness inn
pels us to inquire mentally, How often
may such a thing be done and nobody
be killed-and nobody the wiser?
An engineer who knows the road
with his eyes shut (as Davis was said
to have done), and who for every day
in the year has "the right of way ov-
er all other trains" may presumably
come to feel that he and his train are
protected by special Providence. Fa-
miliarity with danger breeds contempt.
What man does often he can con-
tinue to do in definitely, red signals to
the contrary Notwithstanding An en-
CINE will run without a man always
holding the lever.
Medical men see something Of this
kind Of fatalism in their own calling
at times. They should reflect that it
is just at the psychological moment
when vigilance is relaxed by custom,
that they may be on the brink of dis.
aster. In face of such human faulty
as this Inflated engineer displayed,
what can all human block systems and
red signals avail?

NEEDED PENSION REFORM.

Kansas City Journal-The other day
at Emporia, Kan, a marriage took
place which exemplified the ease with
which frauds may be practiced upon
the government by reason of the bad
and carelessly enacted pension laws
that are allowed to remain OH the
statute books. Elizabeth B. Nickerson,
lusty woman of 46 summers, married
Jacob Bigelow, senile, decrepit SOL
dier, IS wears old. He draws month
ly pension of ST. and has practically
no other means of support The con-
tracing parties to this travesty attrib-
ute their actions to the soft but ire
sistible force of love.
Under existing laws woman who
married a pensioned soldier and after
wards became d widow is entitled to
a widows pension upon proof that
she is without means of support other
than her daily labor and an actual net
income not exceeding $3.50 year. So
within few years this Emporia wom-
an will, in all probability, be drawing
good round sum of money every
month from the government.
This woman Is only one of thou
sands. The widows act has been de-
nounced repeatedly as a piece of leg
islation that encourages crime and
holds out inducements for fraudulent
claims. Most of the commissioners
have recommended that it be abolished
or amended so that no woman who
marries a soldier after he is placed
on the pension roll shall be pensioned
as the widow of such soldier. They
have also asked that a law be passed
barring from succession any widow
who has been guilty of feloniously
causing the death of a pensioned hus
band. The necessity for the amend.
ments and the additions to The pen
sion laws suggested by the commits
sioners is patent.

wELLMAN MALIeNs BOWEN.

There never was man, no matter
how much he accomplished, but had
his critics. Minister Bowen has not
escaped. He has carried on the Vene.
zuelan negotiations in an able and dip
lomatic manner. He has stood out
against the efforts of the allied powers
to force unfair terms upon the South
American republic. He has, in the
face of insults from the representa-
tives of the European nations COM
PEELED them to refer their demands for
preferential treatment in the distri-
button of the reserved customs to The
Hague tribunal. He has been show
cred with letters and kilograms Of con-
gratulations on the success of his eff
forts and has been universally COM
mended by the press and public for
the attitude he has maintained
throughout the negotiations, and the
victory he has won.
And yet all this avails nothing, for
in the midst Of his victory rises up
Walter Wellman, newspaper CORE
spondent, and bitterly criticises him
for what he has accomplished He says
in substance that the terms which the
minister secured from the allies are
humiliating to Venezuela and annoy
ing to the United States. He used up
two valuable newspaper columns in
his attack on Mr.. Bowen, in which
amazing conclusions are reached from
a questionable arrangement of facts
the substance of which is that through
President Castro's bumptiousness and
blupdering special envoy, who CHANGED
unfortunately for his country to be
an American" Venezuela is compelled
to pay considerably larger sums of
money than the allies would have glad
ly accepted; that diplomatic and Off
cial Washington is laughing in it's
sleeve at the neat and effective man
ner in which Bowen was taken into
camp by the allies" that virtually he
| has lost every point in the game" and
lot of other statements of like ma
ture which show personal animus
that makes the publication of such
matter in reputable newspaper little
less than astonishing.
Iowa has good reason to be acquaint-
ed with Mr.. Wellman's style of "spe-
cial correspondence" 1t had its fill
of him last fall when he took upon
himself the regulation Of Iowa repub-
lican politics. There will be few in
this state and no doubt other sections
of the country are as well acquainted
with him, who will take any stock in
his charges against Minister Bowen.
The public has had every opportu-
nifty of following the trend of the Ven
ezuelan negotiations. The reliable as
ISOLATED press has given every detail
of it and the general judgment has
been formed on the basis of that news
/ Walter Wellman has no other informa.
ton on which to base his criticisms
and the people will not accept him as
an interpreter of facts which are plain
and unvarnished and of which the
most ordinary mind can intelligently
judge.-zBurlingto Hawk-Eye.

COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY.

Chicago Tribune: The department
of commerce and industry bill! which
has passed both houses takes from the
treasury department the lighthouse
establishment, the coast survey, the
bureaus of standards, of immigration,
of statistics, and of navigation, the
steamboat inspection service, and the
shipping commissioners. The interior
department loses the census office and
the state department the bureau of
foreign commerce. The department of
labor and the fish and fisheries COM
mission are attached to the new de-.
partment Provision is made for the
creation of a bureau of corporations.
The President is empowered to trans
fer the department of commerce sta
tistical or scientific work from any
of the other departments, but he can
not transfer the interstate commerce
commission or the statistical work OF
the department of agriculture.
The new department will be the
first one created since the department
of agriculture was established in 1889
1t is amply supplied with bureaus, the
most important of which may prove to
be the one which will deal with cor
porations other than railroads engag
ed in commerce with foreign nations
and that carried on between the
states.
The President explained in his las
message the great need of the new de
partment and urged congress to leg
islate on the subject. 1t has respond
ed to his wishes

THE MODERN PROPHETS OF RUIN

We would like to see the doctors
agree as to what is really running this
country, if it is being ruined at all.
One man says that it is Mormonism
that threatens the life of the country
Catholic 6ignitary says that it is
the divorce diesease that is menacing
the safety of the republic. The prohi-
bitionists say that it is liquor. The
preacher says that it is the ungodli-
ness of the people. Another preacher
sometime ago said the open work hos
iery would be the means of sliding the
country nome 10 the devil. A Chicago
club woman mole recently came to the
conclusion that the cosy corners and
the sofa pillows in our modern homes
were sapDing the moral energies of
the people and she pointed to Greece
and Rome as examples of what lux
ury can do to nation.
We are compelled to hear great
deal of this kind of stuff, from time to
time from the lips and pens of all
sorts of would-be reformers. Every
man seems to think that the country
is going to the "dempition bow vows"
because the people fail to carry out
his own pet ideas upon some subject
or other. In the first place it may be
denied that this country is going to
the bad. 1t is in better shape now than
it ever has been before. The people
are intelligent and prosperous. There
are contests and conflicts, but there
never was time in the world when
there were not contests and conflicts.
1t Is of course useless to point to
the fact that Greece and Rome lived
and died, as far as the strength and
glory is concerned. But in that respect
nations are much like trees. They can
not flourish forever, The life of some
| is longer than others.
| What we need is men who can take a
broader view of things that are going
on in the world, men and women who
will not see ruin in every direction
from which they consider the straight
! line.-Cedar Rapids Republican.

uTTERANcEs OF MCKINLEY.

The people beliveve in protection
and reciprocity"
They do not propose to give up
permanently anything they have gain
ed in the industrial world in the last
thirty years, and they would rather
hold it by retaining a protective tariff
than to hold it by reducing wages be-
low the true American standard"
IF we do our work at home our la
Dor at home will be employed, and the
wages paid at home will be spent at
home. This is the philosophy of pro-
lection, and it cannot be abandoned,
amended or abated."
Our first duty is to our own citi-
zens."
Every step taken in the direction
of free trade, beginning with free raw
material, is an advance, and very
long one and a very straight one, in
the direction of reduced wages"
II would secure the American mar
ket to the American producer"
Let England take care of herself"
Every days labor upon the foreign
products sent to the United States
takes one days labor from American
workingmen. would give the days
labor to our own first, last and all the
time, and that policy which fails In
this is opposed to American interests"

OUR REPUBLICAN SIMPLICITY

ST. Paul Dispatch: A Washington
correspondent of the Boston Herald,
who noses into obscure matters and
digs out interesting facts, contributes
farther to the list Of comforts that
make for the elegance and charm of
congressman's life and accounts for
their reluctance to let go, as it may
for the eagerness of others to break
into the charmed circle. Some time
ago we were told of the unrepublican
sumptuousness of the bath rooms with
their marble tubs and walls, and now
we ascertain that when the grave
seigniors get their shoes polished they
sit in mahogany chairs, leather uphol-
stored, costing only $55 each Even
sturdy Joe Cannon, that one-time
watchdog of the treasury, who, only
last session, stood between it and the
crowd clamoring for public buildings
sits in committee room furnished
at a cost of $4,000. Uncle Joe rests
in a $50 chair at $3.50 mahogany

constituents, advising them of the
mailing of seeds and documents. He
is shielded from the heat of the fire

THE DALLAS EPISODE.

The managers Of the Free Kinder
garten fair at Dallas, Tex, did a very
small thing when they displayed delib-
crate rudeness to the first lady OF the
land. Displeased with the quality of
the handkerchief Mrs. Roosevelt sent
to them at their request. they voted to
return it to her In taking this action
they displayed the degree of bad man
ners, to which gentlewomen at times
attain.
According to reports it seems that
this "tacky piece of cotton" as it was
contemptuously called. was similar to
nearly two hundred that were distrib-
uted by Mrs. Roosevelt last week.
There have been no complaints Offer
ed from any of the other recipients
of these gifts. On the contrary, these
little remembrances have been high
ly priced. not for their intrinsic value
but because they came from the White
House, and notes of appreciation have
been sent to the donor as a mark of
their gratitude.
BY all rules of propriety it is not
considered good form to examine too
closely what gift is worth. as it is
not tne intrinsic value OF the artlcle
but the spirit in which it is given that
determines its worth as remenl-
brance. Realizing this, the women of
Dallas. have made partial amends for
their mistake by deciding to retain
this gift, making apology and explain
ing the cause of their unpolite behavi-
or as misconception of the spirit
with which Mrs. Roosevelt sent the
memento. The apology seems to be
sincere and the unfortunate incident
should now be considered closed

Five years ago the battleship Maine
was blown up in Havana harbor. I'm
mediately there was an agitation all
over the country looking toward the
replacing of the destroyed vessel.
Little time was lost by congress in au-
thorizing the building and appropriate
ing the money for its construction.
Yesterday the new Maine reported for
duty and received it's first assignment.
Nearly five years have been consumed
in it's building and armament. The
Maine begins her career with great
er popular interest among the masses
of people than any boat that has been
built. She is superior in every way
as a fighting vessel TO her Inflated
namesake and should take her place
at once alongside the Oregon as one of
the most popular and best known
boats in the navy.

CIGARETTE SMOKING AMONG
CHILDREN.

All the people will not endorse the
erratic Mrs. Nation, in her rude war
fare on the saloons, but there are few
who will not stand at her back in her
efforts to suppress cigarette smoking
among children. She recently snatch
ed a cigarette from the mouth of a
child at Chanute, Kansas. The act
will awake public interest. 1t is a
sad spectacle to witness little boy
not more than ten or twelve years of
age putting cigarette on the streets
or elsewhere. Psychologists all agree
that the practice is hurtful to both
mind and body, especially to the
young. 1t retards healthy growth;
the boy who begins to smoke at any
age below seventeen will never attain
what should be his full stature; nor
will he achieve mentally what he
would achieve, if he submits to this
habit.
The French government has found
it necessary to take steps that will
lead to the absolute suppression of the
sale of absinthe. most pernicious
liquid, the extract of NORWOOD The
French officers report that absinthe
is sapping the vitality of the people
and the consequences are appalling.
Cocaine, in it's various forms, is equal
ly destructive, wherever introduced
in the cigarette, or taken as snuff,
and certain classes in the United States
are daily poisoning themselves with
cocaine. 1t should never be sold ex-
cept to dentists or physicians. Public
officers in every city can testify to the
terrible effects of the drug when used
in excess,as it always is in the hands OF
those who use it as a stimulant They
can at glance detect the victim by
his peculiar appearance. 1t soon sets
it's seal upon the face of it's devotees

The appointment of Secretary Cortel-
you to the new cabinet portfolio has
met the unanimous approval alike of
press and public. His qualifications
for the place seemed so universally
fitting that no other name was even
suggested. Were it not of such vital
and tremendous Importance and did it
not deal with business interests of
such magnificent proportions, in fact
were it some petty office, it might
seem a case of the Office having been
created for the man. Certainly no bet
ter appointment or none more popular
or more pleasing to all phases OF po-
litical opinion could have been made.
