There will be no Alumni BANQUET !
at the high school this year. The ma

there will be a meeting in the near

grounds may injure the state in the esti-

Vardaman to injure his own people or any
body else by displays of vulgarity or vitu-
peration now. The public has taken his
measure, and assigned him his proper place.
But what will the people of Mississippi say
when the governor offers himself for re-
election? They are responsible for him.
They elected him governor after he had
affronted decency the first time with Mr..
Roosevelt as his text and at the next cleo
ton they will have the opportunity to pass

parison with the other offense Like as not,

The Cause of the Railway Carnaps

writing In the December number of the
engineering Magazine F. W. Haskell for
merly railroad man and now president OF
large manufacturing corporation, dis
cusses suggestively the problem of Ameri-
can railway accidents and their prevention.
his paper is one of the most direct ana
N"iuaoie contributions on the subject which
mas yet appeared. 1t is inspired nv the
thought that the list of casualties on tb,,
ran In this country is appallingly and I'M
warrantably long. and he seeks the cause
not chiefly in the attitude of the railroad
owners, whose interest is undoubtedly TO
lower the ratio of losses through accidents
but in the habitual disposition of the SUBJ
ordinate officials and the operatives of the
roads toward their responsibilities. He
puts apart from the discussion all the acct
dents caused by the trespassing of the pub
lie on the right OF way the maintenance OF
grade crossings-of which he rightly saws
there are too maryland the unpreventab bic
breaking of equipment. Thus he confines
ms discussion TO that most disgracefuI
because entirely avoidable, class of accl-
dents, train collisions" He says:
Given then, solid road bed. heavy rails
suong equipment. proper signals and al
most perfect operating rules why do we
nave the almost daily murder of passengers
from preventable accidents?
Because the admirable rules for the gov

garded.

There are many train rules which are
habitually broken by train men whose su-
periors know OF the violations And the
men who break the rules know that their
superiors know 1t, and wink at it--so long
as no accident results"
Mr.. Haskell cites numerous instances
which have come under his own observation
to show that the train crews disregard the

signals and the rules. This habit has rem
dered many operatives both physically and
morally Irresponsible. That their disobedi-
ence and their risks are known to their SUI
periors is a patent fact. Why, then, are
they not disciplined? For one reason, be-
cause the higher officials look for results
and ask that the trains be moved and do
not concern themselves closely enough with
the details and the dangers. For another
reason, because of the interference of the
labor unions. 1t Is fact says Mr.. Has
kell, that the proper disciplining OF an or
ganization Is often prevented by this in

Gals who are trying honestly to bring their

those organizations are. of course, respon-
sible for resulting deaths and injuries and
loss of property. But that fact does not
lessen the responsibility of the official who
allows himself to be handicapped by such
influences.
Other factors than the labor unions are
clearly accountable. AS this writer points
out, the equipment is being forced too far
to make record of tons per train mile.
Breakages occur which under less strains
would not interfere with the schedules The
roads are being squeezed for results to the
danger point.
Where is the remedy? In law, prescribing
severe penalties for operatives who actually
disobey proper rules and for superiors who
permit violations even when no accidents
occur? In an aroused public opinion, which
will ban the lines which make the poor
showings in point of security? Or In law
again. applying proper punishments to all
who, whether as individuals or organtza-
tons, attempt to prevent the proper dsci-
plining of operatives in the name of the
unions?
Certainly the railway carnage" as Mr..
Haskell puts the case, must be checked.

Taft in Panama.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.


Secretary Taft in Panama is the right
man in the right place. That he will bring
order out of threatened chaos, that he will
replace suspicion with better understand
ing, cannot be doubted. In his address upon
arrival he announced plainly that 'the
United States has no intention In the
isthmus other than to build the canal for
the benefit of Panama, the United States
and mankind. There Is no desire to exer-
else further power"
The misunderstanding has grown out Of
the plans of the commissioners to police
and protect the strip of land, ten miles
wide, through which the canal passes and
which has been turned over to the United
States. In this strip the United States must
be supreme. The work involved in con-
structing the canal Is immense. Extreme
care must be taken to prevent epidemics
while the operation Is In progress. The
strictest Of sanitary laws must prevail.
The water supply must be looked after and
guarded. Nothing can be left to chance or
to the lax administration that Is SO noto-
rious in Central and South America. In
that strip we must rule with firm hand.
But we end there. We have no designs
upon the rest Of the country. There may
be friction, but IL there Is 1t cannot be
helped. It Is the duty of the Secretary OF
War to promote as complete a friendship as
possible and to impress upon the Panaman
government that we have no Interior mo-
tiveS.

The South and the Next Congress

The south may not lead the democratic
party in the next presidential race, but she
will lead it in the next Congress. 1t will
be a case of necessity. And she will be
both leader and follower. The party else
where has all but disappeared North, east
and west the republicans have swept every
thing before them, and have made inroads
even in the south.
In the House Mr.. WILLIAMSBURG will, OF
course, succeed himself as minority leader
will marshal a comparatively small squad.
Nor will he himself present the proportions
he had attained prior to the recent cam
paign. For 1t is a fact that he lost in pres
tige from the day Of the st. Louis conven-
ton At the time of the meeting of that
body he was the most influential man in the
south. He had shown good generalship on
the floor of the House. and great deal
was expected of him elsewhere. But he did
not rise to his opportunities. His speech as
temporary presiding officer at st. Louis was
ineffective, as was his speech notifying Mr..
Davis of his nomination as Vice President,
and his subsequent part In the campaign
was inconspicuous.
Mr.. German, who will lead again in the
Senate, had less to lose, but he lost about
everything he had. His incertitude about
the contest Tor the 81. LOUIS nOHllllatlOH
subjected him to much ridicule. His work
at national headquarters-of which much
was expected-was without the slightest eff
feet He virtually lost his own state, which
he claimed. and his friends for him. up to
the day of election, by twenty thousand
majority. All Of this, added to his loss of
the Panama canal fight last winter, and the
election Of Mr.. Rayner to the Senate over
his protest, leaves him without feather
in his cap. A strong man could easily I'M
horse him in the Senate. But, as it is, Mr..
Bailey does not care for the leadership
there. and Mr.. Rayner cannot as yet aspire
to it. He must wait for his senatorial beard
to grow. , s,-',s,', - f.sci. 80
But how shall these two men work to-
gether when the tariff comes up? Mr.. Will
liams is a free trader, and will want to
challenge the republicans on low tariff
lines while Mr.. German is protectionfst
and will not care to see deep cut made
anywhere along the whole list Of schedules
The Maryland senator stands about where
he did ten years ago. when he antagonized
w L. Wilson. whose views about the tariff
were similar to those that Mr.. Williams
now entertains. Is history to repeat itself?
