WHO ARE THESE MEN?

When public service corporation seeks val
uable privileges from the city, the fullest possible
information Is essential regarding the ownership
and control Of its stock; the character and prac-
tical value OF the mechanical devices it purposes
to employ and OF the service it offers give; the
policy it intends to pursue in dealing with the
public its ability to fulfill its promises and the
advantages to be derived by the public from grant
ing the privileges sought
Until such Information, complete and trust
worthy in every detail, is in the possession OF
the people, it is impossible to determine wisely or
with justice, either to the corporation or to the
city, whether the privileges desired should be
granted.
OF these essentials the first in Importance is
the names OF the men who control the corporation
and who will be responsible FOR its management
because unless they men OF recognized honesty
OF purpose, personal integrity and ability to carry
out their professed intentions, their undertaking
cannot inspire or command sufficient public con
hdence to justify the city i'll placing valuable rights
within their control. Until this first requirement
is met no intelligent decision can be reached re-

JUST LEARNING.

A woman on the North Side, with new
husband and a new house and newly
carved furniture. has new butler, just
imported from Europe. She is very un-
comfortable in fact. she has n new pain
almost every time the new butler ad-
dresses her. Upon arriving In Chicago
the buffers first sef-appointed task was
to learn the social value of names. Each
day that large and fashionable function
is announced in the paper he says, with
absence OF expression:
You will be going out, of course. this
evening. madam"

MONDAY. JUNE 4, 1906.
THE TROLLEY CAR TRAGEDY.

Responsibility for Sunday mornings shocking
tragedy at Moores Corners, East Providence,
rests somewhere and should be promptly fixed.
No influences, however powerful, should avail
TO prevent searching and impartial investigation,
or to shield from punishment those whose criminal
carelessness or reckessness brought swift and hor-
rible death to eleven persons and injury to scores
of others.
Rhode Island has had her share of fatalities,
but none OF greater magnitude or more plainly
and palpably the result of wanton disregard OF the
most ordinary and prudence than that which,
with the speed of the lightning bolt, scattered
death and mutilation among party of returning
pleasure seekers when the Sabbath day was but
half an hour old. y
The public, in calamites of this character, is
apt, in the first moment of It's horror and shock,
10 pronounce judgment against the culprit who ap-
pears to have been Immediately to blame. In
this case it is the motorman who is condemned in
the popular mind, and there is apparent ground
for the condemnation.
Through roadways unlighted and rendered
still more dangerous by heavy fog, he is reported
10 have run his car high speed not sackening it
even when he reached the down grade at the foot
of which was the treacherous curve.
Observance Of the rules of the traction COM
pany and consideration for the safety OF the hun
dred or more persons crowded into the Car he was
guiding, ought to have led the motorman to keep
It we'll under brake control while on that down
grade, but unless the statements thus far made
misrepresent him, he did nothing of the sort
Instead he allowed the car to rush unchecked
down the HILL gathering momentum with every
revolution OF its wheels until it hurled itself at the
switch with force nothing could withstand, and
went topping over, crushing and manning its
human freight.
This is the Indictment the public mind has
framed in its first indignant and hasty attempt to
Fix responsibility for this awful happening.
But its indictment is not complete. Gull
paby careless the motorman may have been, but
elsewhere rests the primary responsibility. Who
assigned Leucheur to take that special car over
q route he had traversed but once and that year
ago? Who was it that caused him to make night
run on road to which he was green and which
was known to be beset by many perils?
Is il not one Of the chief duties OF the traction
company to provide competent and experienced
motormen? Leucheur was neither, SO far as the
Crescent Park route is concerned, and those who
assigned him to the task must have known his
unftness for it.
Are they without responsibility and he alone
TO blame for the tragic that has brought
the sorrow of death to eleven homes, and suffering
TO half hundred?
Let this be determined by investigation
that will lay bare all the facts, and that will render
it impossible for those "higher up in the traction
company management to escape accountability by
thrusting all the blame upon the shoulders OF
motorman who appears to have been as unfortu-
nate as he was reckless.
