| ceremony occurred yesterday at GEM
! etery on Long Island which should be
noted in the public mind and serve to all
| of a certain class of public officials as a re-
| mindcr of the grave trust imposed upon
| them. The corner stone of a monument to
| the unidentified dead of the Slocum disas
| ter of June Is last was laid. On that day
nearly one thousand persons were drowned
| or burned in consequence of the terrible
negligence of those charged by the law
| with the duty of keeping the excursion
fleets of the cities up to high standard
of fitness, and the cupidity of the owners
of the boat, who were intent solely on
squeezing the utmost profit from it with
the least outlay.
Despite an imperative public demand that
| the neglect and incompetence of inspectors,
owners and employees should be severely
punished the law has thus far failed to ac-
cOmpish anything whatever in this direc-
ton. One inspector, Lundborg, faces his
third trial for passing defective life belts.
| The owners and operators of the boat
| have gone scot free to date, suffering only
| the inconvenience and cost of trials and
| hearings.
! The public, however has been served by
| the tragedy to the extent that the inspec-
| ton laws have been improved and it is
| practically assured that the excursion boats
| which are about 10 go into service, will
be to some extent safer than last spring
| But the federal inspection only starts a
! boat on her seasons course. 1t does not
! note the degree of good management or bad
! displayed on her during the years run
| ming unless a disaster compels inquiry
| 1t has therefore exercised only an
| bers carried. There is no assured means of
preventing overlooking. The managers may
be condemned for packing the boats beyond
the legal limit when proof of the fact is
forthcoming, but there is nothing to pre-
vent their doing so save this danger to
their license.
| The public can itself regulate the matter
to some extent by refusing to patronize
excursions which challenge the laws of safe
ty by dangerous crowding. A father or
mother who takes group of children upon
an already packed steamer runs a grave
risk. 1t is of course to the advantage of
the steamboat Towrers and the managers OF
excursions TO get a maximum number of
passengers upon one boat. The more they
| fill the decks the larger the profits. 1t is
| in the crowd that the panic peril lies chiefly
\ few hundred more or less than the boats
safe capacity make all the difference in the
| world in the controlling of panic. Yet
| in the SlOcum case the tragedy was only
! slightly intensified by the frantic behavior
of the crowd There would have been an
awful catastrophe if every occupant of the
| boat had been entirely calm. 1t was fated
that the boat, improperly equipped and in
competently manned, should burn in cir
cumstances that left those on board min
| mum of chance to escape.
The disaster should be kept wildly in
mind. It is a wholesome reminder of a
| grave danger a warning to the officials and
boat owners and TO the public as we'll

Japs Eschew Light Literature.
N the PHILADELPHIA Ledger.

From the fnllduelphld
The japanese are serious minded people.
as their literary habits show. They take
life seriously and devote their time to the
reading of what would be called in America
solid books. The recent report of the libra
rian of the imperial library at Tokyo shows
that there is little demand for light litera-
ture in that capital, for fiction of any sort.
contrary to the experience of most of the
popular libraries in England, France and
America The Japanese mind runs to sci
ence. mathematics, medicine, language and
to what may be termed the graver forms
of literature More than 40 per cent of the
works taken out of the imperial library are
of this character. The japanese are very
fond of history, in the making of which
they are extensively engaged at present in
the eastern war. Engineering. military and
naval science receive much attention The
interest in these subjects has been greatly
stimulated by the war.

GA Gentleman" in America.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun
Neither a poor man nor a rich man is or
can be "a gentleman" in America, in the
sense of the term used in a monarchical
country or under ariStocratic system of
society. The word gentleman is unknown
to our law. In the sense of expressing
moral qualities, the only sense in which it
can be used. the term gentleman"
applies, of course, to every man entitled in
trinsically to receive it a designation of
courtesy; but even in that usage it is a term
so vague and indefnable that it is not
worth talking about. 1t may be said, how
ever never to apply properly to any Amer
lean who boasts of being "gentleman'' be-
cause of any accident of his mere material
circumstance, or to any American who is
troubled in mind lest, account of them,
he should not receive the title. If anybody
in America is not a gentleman it is his own

Out of all the agitation of last winter for
the establishment of the whipping post for
wife-beaters, which was inspired by Presi-

was a solitary enactment by legislature.

What gay and glorious days I saw
When you were quite in style.
For pleasures when l wore you last
Ny purse must now atone,
Through you sound whisperings of the pas

You felt the breezes that We're sent
Across the summer sea.

To post 50 vigorously.

Though fraught with sad expense,
And that is why l wear you now
In solemn penitence.

FAvORs RACE SUICIDE.


The Woman's Society for Political
Study has discussed the injustice re-
sulting to children in large families
where the parents are unable to sup
port them properly and, after due
consideration, those present came out
strongly in support of race suicide"
The discussion was started by the
reading Of the weekly municipal re-
port 1t developed that the society
desires anti-pauperism laws that shall
restrict the propagation of the human
species. The speakers expressed the
belief that such laws would furnish
the solution of the child labor ques-
ton, Of overcrowded schools and all
other complaints than hang upon the
rapid increase of children.

clared one speaker. ION people who
surround themselves with large num-
bers of little ones when they cannot
