Railroad Ready Relief

Orders have been issued by the Pennsyl-
varra Railroad Company that its operating
employees shall henceforth be trained from
time to time in rendering first aid to the
injured" They are to BIZ taught the proper
method of bandaging, the use OF restora-
uyes and other remedies and the readiest
means of preserving life and allaying suf.
fering until medical aid can be secured
This is a sinister suggestion of the periis
OF the rail. and yet 1t is sign of humane
disposition On the part of the railroad cor
poration to take every possible precaution
against the waste of life through lack H
attention whenever a wreck occurs.
IL the railroads of this country expert
enee disasters at the rate of recent years
this excellent innovation by the PennsyI-
Yania will need to be generally copied and
broadly extended. Every train should carry
a surgeon with a full professional equip
ment. This official should be given the
safest place I'm the train, with his remedies
and appliances securely protected against
destruction. Every car should bear a
framed piacard advising passengers what
to do in case of wreck, how to care for each

Dowie and Devery.

Democratic merriment over the declara-
ton of Dowie for Mr. Roosevelt is hearty.
Some OF the newspapers pronounce 1t most
appropriate. They think the President at
tracts that sort of men. He appeals. they
say, to those who dream and scheme quite
as strongly as to those who do things
Dowie is characterized a mystery man
carrying a big stick. just as the President
Is characterized as a direct, open man car
rying the same sort of timber. Dowie, we
are told, is right at home in the Roosevelt
camp.
But the joke is not all one sided. Some of
the queer fish are for Judge Parker. Take
Deyery for an instance. He was, of course,
a democrat to begin with. Still the democ-
racy had cuffed him about until his
patience was exhausted, and last year he
ran as an independent candidate for mayor.
This year however he is back in line again
and an ardent supporter of the st. Louis
ticket Judge Parker appreciates his sup
port. and has invited him to visit Rose
mount So far, Devery has been little
shy He hasn't made the visit He finds it
difficult maybe to get so far away from the
Pump. But he is for Parker.
AS there is complaint by both sides of
lack of excitement. why not arrange joint
debate between Dowie and Devery? Ihat
would stir the people. Multitudes would at
tend Madison Square Garden, or the AUDI
forum at Chicago, would be crowded Ana
wby not tour them on a special train
through the close states? That would be an
exciting feature. If anything could, that
would put an end to apathy
Such an arrangement would call, heces-
sariiy. for new rules of debate. Devery Is
deficient in language and Dowie in muscle.
Dowie would have to cut out some OF the
phrases he is accustomed when excited 10
hurl at opponents, and Devery would have
to restrain his impulses when contradicteo
or cornered. Each man would nave TO De
on guard against conspicuous weakness
But terms could be devised to fit the case.
BY grating the Marquis of Queensperry
rules on Jeffersons Manual and increasing
the police force at the meetings, working
basis would be established, and discussion
without bloodshed made reasonably safe 1t
is the one opportunity to bring these Two
interesting men together. and 1t should be

Senator Crane.

The reputation of Massachusetts, In the
Senate has been established by lawyers ana
scholars Webster, Choate, Sumner. Will
son, Boutwell,, Dawes, Hoar and Lodge have
given great distinction to the bay state In
that body In the running debates, as on
the parade days of set speeches, Massa-
chusetts has been in the forefront of the
picture. Mr.. Hoar who has just departed,
was at once a man of use and a man of
ornament. He addressed himself to mat
ters of dry detail as well as to the polishing
OF addresses which commanded wide ad-
miration. He was an intellectual man of a
high order.
Murray Crane, the new senator. is a BUSH
ness man. without the oratorical gift He
was born TO wealth in the form of an es-
tablished industry. and entered at an early
age upon a study of the sources of his in
come. 1t is no slang expression. therefore.
when we say of him that "he knows his
business" He knows it thoroughly. and
he has made it bring him greater wealth
than he inherited.
But in capacity Mr.. Crane is not bounded
by his business. He has interested himself
in public affairs. and served successfully in
office. Mediocre men do not reach the
office of governor of Massachusetts. His
record in that place was good, and won him
the confidence of the national leaders of his
party. He might have been the Secretary
Of the Treasury under Mr.. Roosevelt, or
have conducted the present republican cam
paign. If his private affairs had permitted.
He is man both of force and of education.
IL may prove, too that, while no orator,
he will be no mute in the Senate. The New
Ell gland business man is often a capital
and most effective talker and debater Take
the case of Mr. Aldrich of Rhode Island
upon whom his party leans in many of the
debates in the Senate when financial and
revenue questions are up. He crosses
swords with case with the foremost debat-
ers of that body. The same is true of Mr..
Proctor of Vermont, who, although pre-
pared for the bar, has won distinction as
man of business. He speaks always with
effect; and when the cause of Cuba became
acute in the early spring of 1898 it was
his mastery presentation of the situation in
the island after a personal inspection that
brought Congress and the country to a full
realization of our duty and our interests in
the premises
Mr.. Crane as the successor of Mr.. Hoar
will start with experience in affairs. and
character which insures him immediate IA
vorable consideration.

The Teachers Salary Scale.

The board of education, in adopting as
part of its annual estimates the salary
schedule proposed by the associated teach
ers of the District public schools, has
moved in the right direction. This sched-
ule Is based upon the salaries which OBJ
tanned in the District prior to 1873 when
all the municipal expenses were reduced to
meet an emerge ncy. AS far as the figures
themselves go. the proposition Is merely
that of restitution. But the schedule in
wolves a broader and more vital principle
than this. Under the present system the
salaries are not only small in comparison
with those paid elsewhere. but there is vir-
tually no substantial hope for the teacher
to rise above the plane of meager wages.
Teachers of the graded schools reach a
certain maximum, and there remain for
years without the chance to go higher.
That maximum is unjustly low. Cense
quently teachers who have proved their
exceptional worth to the District, but who
cannot under the prevailing system be re-
warded by promotion, are tempted to re-
sign to accept positions elsewhere at larger
salaries. During the past few years so
many of the Districts best teachers have
been thus drawn away that the public
schools are today suffering.
This city possesses certain advantages
which appeal to a teacher. There are
chances for study here which cannot be
found elsewhere. 1t is a delightful place
of residence, and its intellectual atmos-
phere is eminently suited to those engaged
in the pedagogic work. But a teacher cam
not live on intellectual atmosphere and
facilities for mental advancement. The
teachers themselves, as a rule, would pre-
fer to remain here even at lower salaries
than are paid in some other cities for the
corresponding grades of work, and they
would cheerfully devote themselves to
Washingtons needs if there were hope of
gradual advancement and the final attain
ment of a substantial, living salary.
The promotion system proposed will not
cost the District heavily in increases from
year to year. Not all the teachers now in
the employ of the community will remain
in service for twenty years Changes are
certain to occur. and the replenishment Of
the force from the bottom will tend to keep
the aggregate at an entirely reasonable
figure.
Does the District today get the best work
out of it's teachers? Is it suffering because
they are disheartened, and does it lose
when the best of them leave for other
fields? The board of education believes
that the increased pay scale will result in
not only keeping the efficient teachers here.
but in attracting to Washington special in
structors sorely needed for particular
branches of the work, but who will not
come so long as the present conditions
prevail.

An Unconscious Benefactor,

Ole Bill Smithers stood aroun'
Runnin' everybody down.
Used to stop his work to say
Things about folks out our way.
Used to make us all so mad
By the vexin' way he had
That we lived in mortal fear
OF his tongue-'twas that severe!
Used to do our level best
Raisin' crops to beat the rest,
Cause Bill said, with many a sneer,
Want no fus-class farmers here.
Tried the very best we knew
Fur to raise big cattle. too.
Hustled day an night to show
That Bill Smithers didn't know.
Bill KEEP bossin' people so
That he let his own work go.
Now bout all that he has got
Is mortgages; an they're a lot.
But Us folks he criticised
Prospered till you'd be surprised.
He was irritatfn' still,
We are much obliged to Bill.

An Understanding Needed.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

The definition of contraband and neutral
goods and the drawing of a sharp line of
demarkaton, for the protection of the
rights and property of neutrals, Is one of
the most important issues to be discussed
at the proposed conference at The Hague
which President Roosevelt has promised
to call. 1t is certainly time that there was
a distinct understanding. At present inter-
national law is largely made to order by
the power which has the opportunity, re-
CARELESS of the interests of any other. In
this mail incident, if the facts prove to be
represented, Russia will no doubt
promptly disavow the illegal interference, as
she did in the British and German cases
earlier in the war. What is needed is an
understanding so definite and comprehen-
sive that there will be no possible excuse
for violation unless deliberate intention.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
A nation as an individual must be careful
about sowing wild oats. America is feeling
it's prosperity and high society is setting
an example of wdsteful extravaganza which
others are trying to initiate to the extent
of their means. If these social leaders
could have more of the feeling of RESPONSE
b;lity, more of the sentiment of noblesse
oblige and would do something really worth
doing and initiating they would display one
of the finest forms of patriotism, would
help turn the tide of prosperity into the
right channels and would save themselves
any amount of ridiculous blunders
