american. it c0nfesses au admiration
for the North Americans fraulWess.
For some time prior II the Chicaso
convention the North American -0UgaI
steuuously against the proposition TO
nominate Senator FAIRBANKS faF Inc
vice presidency. Now that senator
Fairbanks has been nominated the
North American does not take its med
iciue calmly. Discussing the nominee,
il says.
--Iu nominating Senator Fairbanks
for the vice presidency the RepubLi-
can convention laid upon the party "a
needless handicap. Instead of adding
strength to the ticket he is q source OF
weakness. Az "a public man he

ing. While we believe that Republican
success I'M November is assured, il
would De folly TO expect an easy vie
tory. Iu spite of the tacetiOus remarks
or some of the campaign orators there
is going 10 bee a fight. Even if the cleo
ton of Roosevelt were utterly beyond
doubt. there viii be many congressiOn-
al contests. and it is highly important
that an effective Republican majority
be maintained.
For these reasons it is dangerous to
take chances. 1T was known TO the
leaders that the president would not be
able to go before the people himself
and that the active representation of
The ticket would fall upon the candi-
date for vice president. Plenty of men
the equals of Senator Fairbanks in re-
speciality and his zuperiors in mag

one OF them was not chosen"
The North American is brave enough
to say what a great many Republicans
content themselves with merely think
ing. From the Democratic standpoint
a better choice for the Chicago conven-
zion than Fairbanks could not have
been made. He veakens the ticket i'm
stead of strengthening it. on the
stump he viii lose rather than make
votes for his party. But the n0mina-
tion of Fairbanks lis only another one
OF the fortuitous circumstances that
viii work together for good this fan.
That is. for the election Of the Demo
cratic ticket.

I HE CORONER'S JURY that has
been investigating the General
Sloeum disaster. in which more than
a thousand lives were lost, has just re-
turned a verdict holding the directors
Of the company owning the boat the
captain the first mate. the commodore
of the feet and a government inspec-
tor criminaly liable. A more sweep
ing verdict has rarely been returned.
And the facts seem to Justify it amply
enough Tt was shown at the inquest
that the life preservers on the SI0cun
were absolutely useless. that the crew
was eowardly and that the captain
made IittIe OF no EFFORT to save the lives
i'm his care.
The verdict is interesting, too. be-
cause it shows the state Of the New
York public mind with reference to the
disaster The outside public was, Of
course, Mortified and sympathetic. but
few outsiders lost relatives or friends
in the catastrophe and the horror of it
was not brought home 20 Them as It
was to the New Workers. In spite Of
the scathing verdict however. il is de-
held responsible for it VIII ever go to
prison. If amy do so all New York
precedent VIII be upset. There have
been similar cases I'm New York, but
there is set to be one in which the
really responsible parties were made TO
suffer the proper penalty.
lit win be remembered that when the
NJ n
corouers jury returned verdict hold
ing the directors of the New York
Central railroad responsible. Aside
from a little Inconvenience. a great
deal of public censuFe and the loss of
little time i'm attending a triai, the
directors i'm that instance suffered 10
penalty whatever. And TIE New
York Central directors were as
much responsible for the Park avenue
disaster as the directors of the
Knickerbocker Steamboat company are
for the Slocum horror. Tt is needless
to say that the Knic1erbccker directors
should escape because the New York
Central directors escaped. We merely
cite the New York Central case as a
precedent established in New York.
We see no good reason for the prece-
dent. On the contrary there are many
reasons why it should never have been
established. If the directors in the
Park avenue case had been punished 1T
is quite likely that the SIocam disaster
would not have occurred This, because
if directors were made to feei their
responsibility they would take more
interest in safeguarding the lives of
those Who patronize their lines and less
i'm economies that tend TO increased
dividends
