THE MAYOR TO ACT.

The elimination of grade crossings can be accom-
plished only through action by the city, and there
fore II is encouraging to note Mayor WeIlss prompt
ness In having general investigation of conditions
nude. Laws relating to the subject are compli-
Gated and before fully effective action be taken
1t Is necessary to collect reliable information An
investigation is properly the first act.
There Is doubt, further, that Mayor Wells will
have the investigation finished and that he will in
sist upon improvements which required for the
protection Of life. He brings discrimination to all
matters. and especially to those of such importance
as Is this The Investigation will be followed by
action.
Action ia imperative. St Louis permits and even
authorizes too many dangerous crossings grade;
1t tolerates too many compromises for public safety
It maintains too many defective and inadequate via
ducts: it remains negligent, a city, in providing
suitable facilities for passage networks Of
tracks. Fatalities too frequent the existing pos
sbilites. and even probabilities. of accident TOO
many, showing disregard Of the value of life.
Conditions in various parts of the city are such
that dangerous crossings and points cannot be found
without an investigation. What improvements and
changes necessary must be ascertained. The
law relating to each and the law relating all
cases must be studied. Then the city will know
how and what to do When this information is OBJ
tnined the grade crossing will be eliminated, it
must be.

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.

Last week the Republican members Of the Boston
Chamber Of Commerce committee Of one hundred
drafted and signed appeal to the Republican
State Convention and the people asking that the full
weight Of Massachusetts Republican influence be
used in pressing upon Congress and the adminisra-
ton the importance Of more liberal trade relations
with Canada. Similar appeals are expected from
other Massachusetts, cities.
But why appeal to the Republican party? For
eight years II has been temporiziug with Canada
and making promises to the people Of New England
and the Northern States who would be benefited by
reciprocity: but 1t has hearkened to the protected
trusts which would lose their overplus Of profits in
the event Of reduction OF duties. with the result
that this country ard Canada are nearer recip-
rocal trade relations than they a decade ago.

DON'T ABUSE WEIGH.

Republican politicians who have undertaken to

maSe a campaign Of evasion before the public. When
Clinton A. WEIGH announced in letter TO National
Committeeman T. J. Atkins at the ST. Joseph State
Convention that he had withdrawn from the for
State chairman because Of the unholy alliance which
he knew to exist between certain Federal ocehold-
ers and antiRoosevelt Republicans with corrupt
elements in the Democratic party. he added that
these corrupt elements should be repudated and not
encouraged.
Mr. welch's standing in the party. especially in
this part Of Missouri. Is such that his preferments
