A NEW CAPITAL.

New York Times.-Southwes
Missouri, with a spur Of the Ozark
mountains breaking up from the
praire there, inspires local belief in
its sanitary advantages which blos-
SONS out in a set of resolutions Of the
Lawrence County Editorial association
to the effect that the capital of the
nation ought to be removed there with
es little delay os possible. It is point
ed out that Washington Is an un-
healthy place, and that on account OF
Its malarial situation legislators be-
come saturated with it's benumbing in
f'uence and are not able to take COR
rect views of public questions. In the
clearer Ozark air their perceptions
would be correspondingly clarified and
their grasp Of political principles i'm
proved. 1t is observed. too, that as at
present situated the capital is at one
edge of the continent, whereas it ought
to be somewhere near the geographical
center of it. Southwestern Missouri,
coming near enough to this to answer
all reasonable requirements. So
placed, it's likelihood OF being can
tured again by foreign enemy you'd
be much diminished and there would
be variety of other advantages spe-
Gifted in more or less detail in the res
olutions.
1t was the opinion of the late viii
liam n. Seward that the place for the
permanent capital of the country was
somewhere near the headwaters Of the
Mississippi There the rivers part like

man who knows his duty, but lacks
the moral courage to do it, when It
may involve little censure. Rather
than admit having been asleep. and by
such admission risking the loss Of a
dollar, this operator risked--and lost
score OF lives Getting operators
with moral courage is not easy In the
wilds of Colorado and some railroad
men will for that reason be lenient In
their Judgment of the man who APP
pointed this operator. But there is "a
deeper question than that. Getting OBJ
orators with strength of character Is
not easy, east or west, on the plan us.
ually employed. "A better plan is need
ed. How many Of your own operators
can be trusted to frankly report irreg-
ularities for which they themselves are
wholly or partially to blame? Only
yesterday an officer Of an eastern
trunk line told us of continued diff.
Guilty in getting operators and signal
men on his road. Not long ago
road in Pennsylvania deferred the
adoption of the block system on GER
tain lines because of the difficulty OF
getting reliable men who would work
all day Cor all night in the woods, re-
mote from civilization. Clearly, 1t will
be necessary, if competent men are to
be secured, not only to pay more
money, but also give the good treat
ment, vacations and careful instruc-
ton and counsel that competent Naen
desire. And how about the moral
courage among superintendent and
dispatchers? Only q few months ago
we had occasion to report an instance
on an eastern roadzsQ b ar .trian1r. Una,

hours at a Stretch. AS we have said.
going to sleep is not the greatest fault
in the signal or telegraph SERVICE for
the rules, in a very simple way, pro-
vide against disastrous results from
that kind of neglect; but how can
superintendent fear to be responsible
even for the secondary cause Of col
lision? The Denver & Rio Grande APP
parently empowered dispatchers to
permit over work. Other roads do the
same. Do we realize how very ca,l-
tiously such power ought to be exer-l
cised?"

those which flowed out of Paradise, 1
carrying their waters to the Gulf and
the Atlantic and the northern, with
perhaps some spray of baptism from
their Astounding floods, to the western
sea. The great secretary thought that
somewhere in this region the great
city of the west ought to be built to
shed forever the ray of power from its,
pinnacles over all the world, to the
ends of which its mighty river floods
are dispersed. Possibly that may
come about some time in fulfillment
Of the wise statesman's forecasts, but
the prospect of 1t does not seem near
enough to interfere with new build
Ing at Washington and new plans for
the augmentation of its grandeur. IA
AS to these questions in general
time must be their arbiter, and they
are not to be Influenced by real es-
tate booms or local enthusiasms There
need be no denial that Missouri's
Ozark region has marked sanitary ad-
vantages-it ought to have from its
situation, and to be courted by all
saluprfous winds that blow from off
each 'bleaked promentory of its upland
range. But its claim to be the chosen
place for new national capital will
nave to be more widely recognized
than 1t Is now before the country will
be content to abandon the present one
leaving Its towers overlapping Babel
and Its domes, ito which Diana's mar
vel was a cell" to become the habi-
tation of the fly-by- might bat and the
!noping OWL uttering its complaint in
the ear of midnight and solitude and
desolation like its fellow birds that
broods ever the wastes of Carthage
or babylon Such occupancy is in
deed what comes to all capitals and
other upbuildings Of the kind sooner
or later, but 1t need not intrude into
our own for some time to come The
Missouri petition presented to congress
by Missouri representative and re-
ferred to the committee on the Dis4
StrIct of Columbia will very likely go
to sleep in some pigeonhole where
the said committee keeps its accumu-
lation Of inert and whitening docu-
lnents, hut its effect in drawing at
tention to the Ozark region of the
state, and its sanitary and other ad-
vantages. may justify the initiative Of
the county editorial society which set
the ball rolling and gave the locality
hitherto unknown, such a handsome
scndoff.

RAILROAD NOTES.
The 6. & R. G. Wreck.

Iherc has been great deal of dis
cussion during the last few days in re-
gard to q. l.. Lively, the operator on
the Denver & Rio Grande, who it is
claimed caused the wreck at Adobe,
Colorado, by failing to stop a passen-
ger train for orders. Lively claimed
that he had worked Is hours without
sleep and said that he was in condi-
ton Of stupor at the time, owing to
his long watch at the post. The fol-
lowing article from the Railroad Ga
zette treats the matter in q new light.
claiming that the case is an instance
OF man who knows his duty, but
lacks the moral courage to do 1t when
doing 1t may involve little censure.
The article is as follows:
THE disastrous butting collision Of
passenger trains near Adobe, Colo, APP
pears to have been due directly to
overwork Of telegraph operator, for
which the public will hold the employ
er at least equally responsible, with
the operator; for the fact that the day
man remained on duty Mt night without
permission will not be sufficient de-
Tense. The officer in charge will be
judged responsible for not detecting
and preventing such a risky proceed
ing. But though this is true the re-
ports indicate that the main and i'm
mediate cause was moral delinquen-
tcy Of the operator. The trouble was
not that he fell asleep, but that, when
he awoke he told the dispatcher that
No. 8 had not passed, when he did not
know whether 1t had passed or not.
Railroad managers have plenty of sins
to answer for but trusting sleepy OPP
orators to stop trains is not one Of
them; and those editors who predicate
their censure on the allegations that
Operator Lively, while asleep, allowed
a train to pass for which he held an
order should correct themselves. Live
ly did not have the order when No. 8
passed. II he had had it, his stop sig
nal, which does not sleep, would have
been displayed and would have stopped
the train. The dispatcher would not
have sent the order until first assured
that the signal was displayed; and the
setting Of the signal and giving the as
surance would have been done in the
regular ard simple routine. The case
is one more disheartening instance of

been formed to be known as the Vet.
Grams of the Blue and the Gray. is typ
ical of the splendid feeling of brother
hood that has bridged the chasm dug
In 1865, between the north and the
south. A man who served as an off,
Ger of the Confederacy is the com
manded-in-chief of this new associa-
ton of civil war veterans, and a
alternate between the south and the
north, and in all particulars both sec
lions of the country are equal in the
new order.
1t was appropriate that the meeting
called to perfect this organization
should begin with memorial service
in honor of the late General Fitzhugh
Lee, >steran of the civil war and Of
the Spanish-American struggle. There
was a man who fought nobly and well
for the confederacy and surrendered
as nobly when forced to admit his in
ability to cope with the superior forces
of the, union Then, when the call
came for men to bear arms for the
reunited nation to drive Spain from
the western hemisphere, he answered
and fought bravely until his efforts
had been crowned with victory. His
example was an inspiring one and it
was followed by others who were loyal
soldiers in the forces of the cause"

sons of "Yanks" The manly frames

cornerstone for the association organ

Cuba and in the Philippines, and the
association itself will put an end for
all time to even the faintest echoes OF
the factional strife that originated in

LET THE INTERuRBANs IN.

Des Moines News.-The future
growth and prosperity of Des MONIES
depends upon the extension of the in
terurban system Of electric lines.
The Des Moines City railway has
done something In the way of such ex-
tension, but it cannot build all the
lines. 1t offers its terminal facilities
upon certain terms, to other interur-
bans. Some have accepted these
terms. Others desire independent en-
trance
Those lines that seek to provide
their own city terminals should be
granted permission to use the streets
for that purpose.
Let the interurban in. The more
the better.

WASHINGTON STORIES.

| A loyal constituent of Senator Till

him just at noon. The senator had
something to say about President
Roosevelt and was in a hurry.

| will get you seat there. After l
have finished on the floor / will come
out and we will have q visit"
The debate ran for two hours. Swate
sat patiently and listened. At the end
of that time he got up and said to the
gallery doorkeeper: my name is

That's all right" said the door
keeper, "but / may not be here when
you return. In order to prevent any

so that you can get your seat again.

this,

throw big knives at her, which barely
outlined her form against the board.
