RA11R0ADS AND PROSPERITY.

1000 oddress delivered in Pittsburg by
~ Lr,ro- Woo -DrpsIdent Of the Jones & Nc
To,,-1I,1;1 comDanv. 1.-The Manufacturers Rec
,r5p los+ week found the text for some instruc-
five comment Mr.. King had asserted that the
weak poiut in the industrial situation III West'
ern Pennsylvania is the inadequate provision
r,odo nv the railroads to handle freight traffic
Our Baltimore contemporary remarks that the
statement holds good not for Pittsburg Alone
bnt for the whole country. By way of ilustra-
ton it saws that while the quantity OF frelght
moved in this country In 1904 showed an in
crease of 153 per cent upon the tonnage or 1SSU
the number Of locomotives grew only 40 per
cent in the same period. Even after an allow
ance is made for the greater average capacity
of the modern railway engine compared with
that Of fifteen years ago. there remains re-
markable disparity between available motive
power and actual and future requirements.
THE Manufacturers Record" says very truly:
"The broad railroad man must look ahead. lie
cannot plan simply for the traffic of to-day.
HE must plan for the traffic of the years just
'ahead; and it may be seriously questioned
whether any railroad in this country has even
outlined plans sufficient 10 meet the growth Of
"its traffic even for the next five years,
much less the next ten"
The argument derives special cOgency from
the rate at which other great industries have
expanded within the last few years. The pig
iron production in neither 1908 nor 1904 greatly
exceeded 100000 tons. 1t now amounts to
100000 tons month, which is equivalent to
24.OOO,OOO tons a year. Here is a sudden in
crease of about SO per cent! A few days ago
The Tribune had occasion to mention the almost
equally amazing development in the output Of
coal in this country, which has been doubling
every ten years for nearly half a century, while
the population doubles ONLY once in an interval
three times as long. Miscellaneous manufact-
ures and agriculture tell the same story, and
help to swell the enormous volume Of material
calling for transportation in the near future If
the railways fail to provide the necessary facil-
ties lamentable paralysis and stagnatiOn must
ensue. Our Baltimore contemporary has not
put the case too strongly, and news article on
this subject on the second page Of Part Nv will
be found deserving of special attention.

BEAUrTFYIHG WASHINGTON.

II is encouraging to be told that another for
ward step viii soon be taken in the working
out Of the BuInham Commissions plans for
the beautifying OF Washington. As is well
known, the report Of that commission has never
received the governments formal approval
The study made by Mr.. Burnham and his col
leagues was authorized by the Senate Commit
tee on the District of Columbia, Mr.. Mcmillan.
the chairman, securing a small appropriation
for that purpose from the contingent fund Of
the Senate The House Of Representatives was
not asked 10 cooperate with the Senate in Sc
curing the expert counsel needed to carry out
FEnfant's far reaching plans for the develop
Inent Of the capital The House has never ap-
proved nor has it ever had a chance to ap-
prove the Burnham Commissions conclusions.
Those conclusions, though winning general
acceptance on their own merits, carry no weight
whatever as LAW. They have merely been in
dorsed by a Senate committee whose report fell
with the end Of the Congress in which it was
made No administration has ever been in the
least bound ny the Burnham plans, and no Con-
2ress has recognized them authoritative and
final in legislation dealing with the District Of
Columbia.
Inspired by a laudable desire to sustain and
enforce the Burnham Commissions findings
President Roosevelt last month created a Pub
dc Buildings Board. charged with supervising
and approving all designs and sites chosen for
public buildings In the District OF Columbia
Mr. Burnham and his two colleagues, Mr. Nc
Kim and Mr. Olmsted were made members of
this board with Augustus st. Gaudens, the
sculptor and Bernard r. Green, superintendent
Of the Library Of Congress, as associates. The
board was 10 serve without pay 1t was discov-
cred however, that the appointment Of a board
70 serve without compensation was prohibited
under q clause inserted in the last General De-
6ciency bill, which aimed at discouraging the
practice OF taking on emergency help and ask
ing reimbursement later from Congress. The
President then fixed the compensation Of the
members Of the supervisory board at SO day.
But charging this expense 10 the contingent
fund for public buildings was found 10 con.
1ict with another statute, and il was finally
decided 70 have the Eve appointees come to-
gether merely as private citizens TO pass on
building plans in Washington in the execution
Of which any degree Of discretion as TO sites
etc. was confded in the heads of deparfments
or IN the District Commissioners
This was something gained OF course But
we are now Informed that Speaker Cannon
who had shown a decided disinenatiOn 10 ae

triotisn ridiculous and encourage a bosstful
spirit. IL needed, an illustration Of this truth
may be supplied by the gradual and now al
most complete disuse. North and South, or
versions OF war songs which once fred the North
ern or the Southern heart. Instead OF keeping
alive the embers OF national strife by singing
about hanging "Jeff Davis on sour apple tree"
common sense and kindly feeling have gladly
substituted otheP and nObler words 20 music
which sang itself into the nations heart in the
dark days of the Civil War. These old war songs
did their work and did 1t effectively at a time
when they accurately represented the spirit Of
the combatants, but 1t would be an i'll service TO
the memory of those who wrote them and still
greater disservice to the people themselves to
insist to-day upon their use. thus helping to
undo the work they accomplished. Some OF
them, and especially certain stanzas Of them
are as much out Of date as are the costumes Of
our Revolutionary forefathers or the fashions
that prevailed IN the United States IN the time
Of the great war.
There is another consideration Three stan.
zas of 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner are enough
to tax the vocal cords OF even the most aspir.
ing. AS a matter Of fact, hardly anybody ever
sings even one Of its stanzas through without
a break. We are all In favor OF the banner
floating on the vocal heights, but willingness
and patriotism combined are seldom sufficient
to enable singers to plant II on the appointed
eminence. They fall by the way, and ''the rock
cts red glare, the bombs bursting In air'' re-
veal that they are not there.

SHOOT STRAIGHT.

We have so often had occasion to condemn
the reactiOnary and demagOgic utterances of
Governor Vardaman when he discusses any
thing remotely touching the race question that
we have particular pleasure in commencing his
straightforward courage and common sense in
dealing with the question Of law and order.
Governor Vardaman has steadily used his
power to stop lynching and maintain the SUI
premacy of the courts, but never has he said
anything more worthy Of the attention Of pub
lie officials who are called upon to face the mob
spirit than this:
When one man or a dozen men undertake to
override the law and interfere with an officer in
the performance Of his duty, the proper thing
for him to do is to shoot straight instead OF over
their heads. If Mr.. Poag had done that, the
cOWardly scoundrel who took his life would have
been put in the grave instead Of Poag. If it is
known that the officer is going to do his duty
and shoot when necessary, there is no danger Of
mob trying to take his prisoner from him.
That is good doctrine everywhere In dealing
with mobs, whether they are assembled to wreck
Jail or a railroad Shoot straight and to kill.
It is harsh medicine, but it cures the disease.
One administration of the dose is almost always
sufficient. while the failure to administer the
remedy in one case almost surely invites the
spread of the trouble. Lynching is a danger to
the community simply because 1t has enjoyed
immunity. AIObs hang and burn because they
have found it safe to hang and burn. We do
not believe q Jail has been broken open in ten
years where the custodian could not with de-
termination and courage, have preserved his
prisoner, or at least made such an example Of
himself and the mob as TO have aroused his
State effectually to put down lynching for the
future. Possibly q sheriff or two or a mob
leader or two might have been sacrificed, but
a few stands for the law In deadly earnest
would put an end to the easy going liberation
of lawlesSness.
Most sheriffs and jailOrs who have TO defend
prisoners, especially negroes not really in
earnest to protect them They flourish revOlv-
ers, beg the people TO "let the law take its
course" go through all the motions Of being
OverpOwered, and allow the prisoner to be taken
with the least damage possible We hope that
Governor Vardaman will succeed IN instilling
new sense of responsibility into the Mississippi
sheriffs. The fact that in the latest case shoot
ing in the air, instead of saving trouble made it.
gives a practical emphasis to the Governors
words and suggests to the officials that In the
way of his advice safety lies.
