Combes on Autos.

Premier Conbes, of France with ref
erence to the recent destructive auto
mobile "scorching,'' in the Paris Madrid
race on the section between Paris and
Bordeaux, denies that there was any
lack of precaution in protecting the
course, and suggests that, if AUTOMOBILE
lists want more speed, they should con-
struct a private track and the chamber
should seek to conciliate public secur-
ity with the interests Of a deserving i'm
dustry." Competent witnesses assert that
the French government did not take
due precautions for the protection. of
the course, as the road was Uttered with
entirely uncomfortable crowds Of spec
tators and wheelmen.
Mr.. Combes, in recommending private
tracks is on the side of public safety. In
order to protect the interests of the
French automobile industry it is hardly
in order to allow travelling automobiles
making railway speed to run wild over
a road INSTRUCTED with crowds Of people
and minor vehicles. Close regulation of
the movements of automobiles on public
roads has become necessity every

new peril to the public came also. The

If the United States had more navy
yards the temperance movement in this
country would boom and bloom. When the
navy department found out that the coun-
Gil AT Bremeton had licensed saloons
against its protest, all vessels previously
ordered there for repairs were instructed
to keep away. At that moment Breme-
toms prosperity began to fade, its princi-
pal industry being the navy yard. Given
their choice between an anti-saloon ordi-
nance and a coat of tar and feathers the
delinquent councilmen came to time and
now tBremeton is saloonless and guileless,
and implores the department toscounter-
mand it's orders. The Department. course
in this matter Is laudable. 1T is its duty
to protect the sailors as much as in its
power from the low resorts of such places
as Bremerton.

Cleveland's Good Advice.

Former President Cleveland dealt out
some good advice at the mass meeting
held in New York last night to adopt
resolutions regarding the massacres of the
Jews in Kishinef. He cautioned his au-
ditors to be sure of the completely OF the
Russian government in the agonlzng
atrocities Of Bessarabia before they went
too far in stirring up luminosity against
the Russian government. The occurrence
Of terrible atrocities in any country does
not imply that the government either
abetted them or could have prevented
them tho, as we have said before, there
Is little doubt that the Russian govern
ment could have prevented or sooner
stopped the Kishinef reign of terror. ra-
pine and murder if it had chosen to. When
a government singles out a race for perse-
cution is can hardly hope altogether to es-
cape responsibility if the mobs Guido it
in their destructive zeal.
MIR. Cleveland cited the massacre Of
Italians in New Orleans, and Of China
men in Wyoming to show that failure Of
a government to prevent crimes on a
connivance Under our system Of decen-
tralized government, in fact, the most
appalling breaches Of law and order may
occur and yet the federal government be
constitutionally powerless to suppress
them.
The outbreaks Of mob violence that Mr..
Cleveland referred to make it Ques-
ton of whether we are even morally en-
titled as a nation to make protest to
Russia regarding the devllish crimes at
Kishinef. It hardly lies in our mouth to
rebuke Russia as an uncivilized and cruel
state, scarcely to. be admitted to the com
panys Of the other nations. There were
some terrible deeds done at Kishinef, but
we do. not recall that any persons were
burned at the stake Scores Of negroes
| have suffered such a fate in this country
! IN the last ten years. and the total mum
1 Der of lynchings has mounted into thu
! thousands. We can hardly condemn Thu
Russians for prosecuting the Jews whel
even in this country thereSis much preju
dice against a certain type Of Jews, and ;
| race prejudice against the negroes tina
frequently flames out in massacre. o
course, there is nothing in the course o
our government towards our own rae
troubles and disorders to be compares
with the malevolent intolerance Of tn
Russian church-state, but If we direc
the rage the Kishinef massacres stir il
our hearts to the arnelioration OF certain
distressing conditions in our own country
we shall do better than to gnash our teet

Its Power to Be Defined.

The interstate commerce commission,
armed by the last congress with an act
which was intended to remove all doubt
as to It's powers in dealing with offenses
Of public carriers, has struck an obstruc

presidents Of the Pennsylvania anthra-
cite coal roads, to respond to the commits
sions order to produce their books and
papers to be used during the inquiry into
the practices of these roads.
The old law prohibited the cutting Of
rates in secret, or its equivalent, the CIV
ing of rebates, officers violating the law
being liable to fine Of $4,000, or impris-
onnent in a penitentiary for two years.

this cannot be done, the interstate COM

the refusal Of the anthracite roads to pro-

commission to ask the federal circuit court
