WIRELESS TRAINS SIGNALS.

The Chicago g. Alton Railroad, al
WAYS a pioneer in experiment, is MAX
ing some very interesting experiments
with a system Of wireless telegraph
signals that if successful will add vast
ly to the safety of railway travel. The
report says this road has taken steps
to equip all it's engines with wireless
apparatus. Thru this method of COM
1nunication a train approaching within
two miles Of another on the same track
will make its proximity known auto
maticaIly to the engineer of the other
train, who will have before him an in
dicator. The ringing of bell and the
flashing of a green light will apprise
him that the train is coming from the
rear. A red light flashed before him
will mean that the train is in front.
The exchange of signals would be sim
infamous, both engineers receiving the
warnings at the same moment.
Should this device prove practicable
it's adoption should go far toward
diminishing the number of casualties
due to collision. Ordinarily when an
engineer has received his orders from
the train dispatcher and pulled out on
the main line he is cut off from all
chance of communication which might
inform him as to the movement of 9th
err trains. The public hears OCCASION
ally of cases in which train dispatch
er knows that a collision is Impending,
but, being powerless to warn the en-
gineers, confines his efforts to tele-
graphing for surgeons and wrecking'
crews before the accident has taken
place. With the timely warnings Of a
wireless system many Of the accidents
occurring in such conditions could be-
averted.

WHEN THE DEVIL WAS SICK.

M. Witte is shrewd diplomat and
knows the strength of public opinion
and press expression. He is anxious
for full exploitation of the proceedings
of the peace conference in the r,ewspa-
pers. Pressure by Japan of huge in
demnity and rapid demands against
| Russia in other directions he sarewdly
argues will result in revulsion Of
vanquished and he reasons not with
out foundation that PUBLIC opinion in
America will have its certain effect
upon the Japanese ENJOYS.
M. witte in Rome is ready to do as
the Romans do. However, it is perth
nent to inquire how much publicity
would be given the peace proceedings
if the conference were held in Russia
where the limit of the freedom of the
press is the pleasure of an .autocrat?
1t would be interesting to know pre-
cisely what Russian newspapers are
UGlllS W PiAAAs 'AAAAS 49,
Witte is playing for public sympathy
here. His newly awakened desire fof
publicity is subject to discount from
it's face value!
And the question of terms: What
would be Russia's demands If Japan
instead of holding her present position
were suing for peace? Would the in
demnity be less than billion? Would
Manchuria and Korea escape the fate
of Bulgaria, Macedon and Armenia?
Would not China cover under II line of
fortified Port Arthurs along the east
coast and Japan be banished from
the mainland to crouch in her islands
under the muzzles of Russian forts and
navies?

have sent no more capable represen-
tative but his is another case where

Governor A. b. Cummins, of Iowa
sponsor for the original Iowa Idea
lis the political leader who sprang to
the front yesterday and gave magnetic
inspiration to the cause in behalf OF
which war has been declared. Cum
Minis dominated the conference from
the minute he set foot inside the thea
ter. His presence and his words of de-
fiance to the "standpatters" contribute
ed just the elements that were needed
to mold the celebrating business in
terests into a militant political force.
Governor Cummins appeared on the
scene at the psychological moment.
Arriving in the city in the morning
after the conference had begun its ses-
sion, he reached the theater just in
time to hear Edward Rosewater, editor
of the Omaha Bee, declaring for
policy of reciprocity without revision.
Then the Iowa executive assumed
lingering sentiment binding the pro-
the rigid schedules of the Dingley act
was dissipated by a storm of enthu-
siasm for the warhorse of revision, who
declared his political body was covered
with scars and wounds from the fight
he had been waging. Under the mag
netic spell of the Iowa governor, out
and-out revision sentiment quickly
was crystallized and the hopes of Ger
tain defenders of protection, whose
slogan is let us alone" went glim-
mering. Tariff revision with a big
R-became the cry and swept before 1t
every possibility of staving off a plat
form demanding changed and lowered
schedules or of success in the attempt
to bring forth a declaration of plati-

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

Has it ever occurred to the reader
that the present epidemic of graft
(reports are that twenty five states
are now investigating public casea
wherein the word graft mildly ex-
press the crime), dates back in source
to the education or rather the lack OF
it of the present generation of active
business men. Ethics an abused word,
public and private conscience. another
misleading word, wrong conception
of honesty, these, thirty-five to fifty
years ago, were different fro mtoday.
Insdiously this disease of the lower
ing of public and private ideas of right
and wrong, has grown till today we arc
forced to fight the public outbreak. An
epidemic of smallpox, yellow fever or
any other contagious disease is no
more liable to occur where previous
conditions necessary to produce such
epidemic are In evidence, than graft
In it's present form is the result of the
gradual lowering Of ethical ideas OF
right and wrong.
Much of this degenerate thought
and resultant action. curiously enough
has increased in direct ratio with the
growth of the corporation. The shift
ing of responsibility from the individ-

ual to the corporation carried with II
lessened regard for honesty. Even
now officials, directors and stockhOl-
ders of corporations cornplacently view
collective dishonesty, that as individ-
uals they would be ashamed of and
refuse to participate in. A case in
point is that of the conscientious
church member opposed to Sabbath
dissertation in any form, one who lives
up to his opinions as an individual, but
owning railroad stocks, makes no ef-
fort to do away with Sunday excur-
sions, that increase his dividends on
said stock. Another illustration of
this theory and fact is shown by the
utter indifference Of the stockholders
of manufacturing concerns in the non
observance of the laws concerning
child labor. The same is true of in
dividual owners of mining stocks. Col
lectively they grind the face of the
poor by paying the lowest price pos
sible for human labor, while selling at
the highest possible price the pro-
ducts of the mine, even if to accom-
plish this result many state and ma
tional laws are ignored and ubiquitous
pools and combines are formed and
continued.
