EDITORIAL OPINION
Life Pressrvers.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald
Under the government requirements
each life preserver must contain six
pounds Of good cork and must have a
buoyancy I'm the water to support a
weight OF twenty-four pounds-much
more than that Of the human body
when Immersed. According to the
charges blocks Of cork provided bysthe
Nonpareil Company were under the re-
qulred weight, and the difference was
made up by Inserting In the middle of
the blocks these iron bars or rods.
With the Slocum disaster and the
worthlessness of life preservers on that
fatal vessel fresh IN the public mind a
thrill Of horror was caused by a rev.
elation Of the methods pursued by the
Camden manufacturers.
The Kahnweiler representative ar
gues that IF" a life preserver has the
required buoyancy when tested Il
would be none the worse for the iron
surreptitiously inserted. He goes fur
ther and makes the plea, which will
presumably be advanced for the defence
OF the indicted men, that the blocks in
question did not get on the market
had not been offered for sale and had
not been tested or inspected and there
fore no crime had been committed"
We do not undertake to say that this
will not prove an effective legal defense
but It viii scarcely convince the citi-
zen who in Imagination sees his wife
or child in some future Slocum trag-
edy relying for escape upon a life pre-
server with an iron bar In the middle
of it.

"Ths Man Without a country p

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
William Waldorf Asror comes of an
American family of respectable dis
tinction in the history and literature Of
the Republic. He is a man of culture
and of clean life. His attachments in
letters have been estimated. He once
served the United States acceptabiy in
diplomacy.
Yet when this man on Friday left the
city Of his birth he was as much alone
as the obscurest stranger. The report
ers who questioned him represented
nothing but curiosity No one showed
the slightest human interest in him.
No relative or friend attended to bid
him godspeed why?
A generation ago Edward Everett
Hale imagined what might be the fate
of man who publicly expressed the
wish that he had no country and was
taken at his word. His country exiled
him, not physically but spirtually-by
denying him any relations with her.
He was not allowed even to hear her
name.
All the world has recognized the fate
thus pictured as the most pathetic con-
ceived in fiction. Every render has
risen from the tale with a sigh OF re-
lief that il was merely a tale and that
such vengeance probably never was
taken by a country upon an offending
citizen.
Yet In way II has happened. With
no motive Of material welfare or decent
ambition, but merely because she did
not suit his personal taste. William
Waldorf Astor left his country. To the
country he sought he is nothing but a
check book. The country he left has
abandoned him.

is to level him. Keep him from evolv-
