Peace and the Future.

We are all hoping for terms between Rus
STA and japan which will insure lasting
peace between those two countries and at
the same time contribute to good feeling
throughout the rest of the world. But We
should all realize the fact that such terms
are not easily made. good many things
are to be reCkoned with, old-fashioned hui
man nature. which is much the same every
where among the number The smart
which Russia now feels will last for many
years. and the satisfaction which Japan
rfghtfully feels at the success of her strug-
gle will necessarily influence her future
course. Neither nation after signing the
peace will then stand still. Both will go
forward according to their lights. and their
reading of their opportunities.
Russias sea power has been pretty well
destroyed. But she will want to restore it.
and may expect her 10 set about the

ably clear. She owes her success in this
war to the state of her preparation for it,
and this will teach her to remain prepared
for all eventualities Where she is strong
now she will make herself stronger That
she has any thought of setting out on a
journey of world conquest is of course to be
doubted The suggestion is a yarn of the
enemy. The same thing was said of us
after our little brush with Spain, and with
as little reason.
Before many years therefore the world
will see Russia on her feet again. and maybe
the firmer in her tracks by reason of lessons
learned from this bitter experience. Ger
tainly Japan will grow in power and i'm
portance. cultivating her present sphere of
activity to the full and looking out. as we
and other powers will be, for new markets,
and devising means for capturing them.
Maybe we should all remember this in lay
ing out our own future plans. Peace is
always for those powers best prepared to
command it.

Candidates and Degrees.

Several days ago Mr.. Fairbanks was
made a LID. and yesterday that honor
was conferred on Judge Taft What about
Mr.. Foraker. and Mr.. Spooner, and Mr..
Cannon? If they have not been decorated
their friends should see to the matter
promptly. There should be fair and even
start for the next republican nomination.
and if there Is anything in a degree let all
have the benefit of 1t. On the democratic
side Mr.. Mcclellan starts brayely off with
recognition by Princeton, his alma mater.
He received with it the praise of being the
best mayor New York had ever had. Let
Judge Dunno and Tom Johnson take note,
and maybe Tom Watson and Mr.. Bryan
should give heed. The scholar in politics
was at one time a little lonesome. and
some people thought him failure, but he
is growing numerous these days. and Is
playing highly creditable part in practical
affairs.

Rural Death Traps and Motors.

A new style of deadly grade crossing has
come into existence with the DEVELOPMENT
of the high-speed automobile These cars
literally locomotives, are sent across eoun-
try ut railroad rates and over steam-road
tracks without heed for the common rules
of caution. Owing to the failure of the
states to make laws requiring the sinking
or raising of the lines over country roads as
we'll as city streets, there are thousands of
places in the thickly settled parts of the
country where human life is exposed to
danger at all hours. This danger is espe-
cially great after dark, in the wooded parts
of the rural districts In many places the
railroad tracks are invisible ten feet from
the first rail, save for the immediate space
of the crossing. In consequence. chauffeurs.
driving their own machines pell-nell over
the roads. run upon the lines only to be
crushed by trains. the approach. of which
they have not heard or seen.
The other night near Goshen. N. Y, AN
automobile was struck by a train In this
manner and two people fere instantly killed
and two others, their children, were seri-
Dusty and perhaps fatally hurt. The chauf-
feur escaped injuries by jumping. This Is

ings between the two types of locomotive Is
already appallingly long.
The automobiiists OF the country are re-
lied upon by the common people, for aid
in the establishment of system of good
roads. They have not accomplished much
to this end thus far Here. however, lies
an opportunity for them to contribute to
the public welfare while they are conserv-
ing their own interests and protecting their
lives. If they would organize for the pur-
pose of forcing state legislation for the
abolition of all such death traps through
out the eastern states they would go far
toward overcoming the public prejudice
against their class, aroused by the wild ac-
tions of some of their number in city
streets and country roads.
A systematic demand for the abolition Of
the rural grade crossings would of course,
be strenuously opposed by the transporta-
ton lines. The expenditure involved would
be very heavy. But the time is coming
when the railroads and the towns, counties
and states must make this concession to the
public security. If the work were under
taken now on a gradually increasing scale
the cost might be so distributed that the
burden would not fall prohibitvely upon
any corporation or community. The ex-
pense of changing the grade of country
road Is by no means so heavy as that of
raising or lowering city street. and, de-
spite the great number of dangerous places
to be thus reformed, the project is entirely
feasible.

Public Ownership Movement,
From the New York Journal of Commerce.

from the New 1ofk journal OF commerce.
The cause of the Roadway which the
movement for public ownership appears to
be making in this country--not only munich
pal ownership of what are called public
utilities, but government ownership of rail-
roads and telegraph and telephone lines
does not lie In general belief that bust
ness of this kind can be more efficiently and
economically conducted by government
agencies. dominated by political influences,
than by private enterprise under the incen-
tive of personal gain, but In feeling of re-
sentiment and sense of outrage at the cor
porate abuses that have developed in the
use of chartered privileges. Few people be-
lieve that the business could or would be
better managed. so far as practical results
are concerned. under public ownership; but
many take such a discouraging view of the
possibility of putting an end to the abuses
by legislative and administrative action
that they disposed to take all the
chances of the change Of policy. The argu-
ment In favor of greater efficiency and
economy, and of a quicker acceptance of
improvements and readiness for progress.
when those in control have capital at stake
and are working for their own profit and
advancement, is unanswerable, and 1t would
be generally accepted IL the men who ex-
ercise the control were content with legiti-
mate gains and showed a due regard for
the rights and interest Of the public and
for their obligations to it.

HOPE for Chicago.

1t begins TO look though Chicago might
at last have chance TO throw off its Old
Man of the Sea, the labor trust. that has
held tight grip around its neck for years.
A fearless investigation of the conditions
underlying the stubborn strike of the team
STEERS has been in progress for several days,
and already disclosures have been made
which broaden the aspect of the case to the
proportions of a gigantic scandal From
hints that have thus far been dropped of
the nature Of the revelations before the
grand jury, there will be prosecutions on an
extensive scale the laws dragnet taking in
business men as well as union leaders. The
states attorney, who is in charge of the
case, is quoted as saying that the informa-
ton now in hand points to the commission
Of practically every crime on the calen-
dar."
That something radically wrong in
Chicago has been evident TO the country at
large for long time. The strikes of labor
unions in that city had become SO frequent
that seldom was the community at peace
within its own borders. 1t had DEVELOPED
a chronic case of agitation
There is a broad suggestion in the dis
patches of bribery and graft, of corrupt re-
lations between employers and union leaders
for more than the mere purpose of ending
strikes. Trade rivalries may perhaps ex-
plain some of the remarkable phenomena
which Chicago has presented to the world.
1t would indeed not be surprising to find
that INSCRIPTIONS merchants or traffickers
Of various kinds had entered into combi-
nation with corrupt leaders of labor to bring
about the unsettlement of business cond-
tons in certain lines in order that the for
mer might profit
The public's losses in the course of these
Chicago strikes have mounted into the mil
lions. Life has at times been made bur
den within the city bounds. There has some
times been danger of manning and death
for the citizen walking forth upon his own
errands. A state of utter decentralization
has at times prevailed. and the city gov
eminent has been almost uniformly weak
in confronting these evil conditions It
would not be surprising to find that the
lines of corruption and criminality run into
the high places of the municipal govern
ment
If Chicago can shake off this incubus all
the country Will rejoice, for the spectacle
which that city has offered has been a
source of shame and encouragement to ali
progressive, honest Americans But IL will
evidently call for violent upheaval to eff
evidence which the states attorney is now
accommodating will furnish the materials for
the requisite explosion.

Tennessee.

The senatorial hope springs eternal in
the very human breast of ex-Goy. Bob Tay
lor of Tennessee. Several times a candi-
date for seat in the upper house of Con-
greSs, he has again announced for the
honor. He found Gen. Bate too strong in
the matter of experience and personal pop
ularity. He found Coy. Frazier too strong
in the matter of organized support. Now
he will try Mr.. Carmack, who as his sue
cessful first term approaches a close offers
for second. Mr.. Taylor is filling lecture
engagements in the state, and this should
insure him excellent means of meeting the
people and interesting them in his cam
paign. Nothing is said about his fiddle but
presumably he has that with him. and
whenever a vote is to be made by it he will
draw the bow and give the crowd a tune
This time Mr.. Taylor wants a primary
He believes in the people, and he wants
them to express themselves directly on the
senatorial subject. He is right about that.
The primary is good plan. 1t has worked
eXcellently wherever tried and there is no
reason why it should not work well in Ten
to trust his fortunes to it, and an all-round
good stumper and fiddler should know his
own long suit
But Will the contest for this great honor
be confined to these two men? Where is
the Hon. Benton McMillin. who, like Mr..
Taylor. has made several unsuccessful races
for the Senate? Shall we not hear from
him before the time for closing the entries?
And there is the Hon. John Wesley Gaines,
who. though never a candidate for the SEN
ate, Is yet an interesting man in Tennessee
politics and growing one.
What a canvass this quartette would
make! What a stir would be created in
every part of the state! Mr.. Carmack is
aggressive and cultivates epigrams; Mr.
Taylor is humorous and cracks jokes; Mr.
McMillin is rhetorical, after the old style.
and works in Roman history in chapters
and chunks; Mr.. Gaines flies high and
scours all space for trusts and other enc
mics of the Constitution If the people of
Tennessee are wise they will refuse to de-
eide this question until they have heard
from all four of these men.
