Steamboat Racing.

Racing ocean steamers even in broad
stretch of waters, IS dangerous business
but racing excursion steamers on a narrow
river, with decks crowded with passengers
Is infinitely more reprehensible. There can
be no doubt, after a reading even of the
deniais of the captain of the jamestown
and the owners of the st. Johns, that those
boats were being raced last Wednesday
when they were drawn together by the sue
ton in the lower Potomac. One captain
says that he had the lead and was en-
deavoring to pull away from the other craft.
which persisted in hanging on to his heels
and trying 10 take the channel from him
The other side says that the accident was
caused by the effort Of the Jamestown's
captain to maintain his vessels reputation
for superior speed. These assertions plain
ly mean that the boats were being raced
and that they hung together until, In
narrow part OF the channel, they were
brought so close that the suction swung
them into collision. No one can logically
question this conclusion.
The steamboat inspectors will later make
an Inquiry into the circumstances. The
public will expect a thorough investiga ton
and a fit penalty for the captains If they
are proved to have engaged in racing. The
fact that no damage was done should not
be regarded as a factor in the case That Is
simply the publics good fortune 1t is a
happy circumstance that the warning comes
without costing heavily in lives The
Siocum disaster Of two years ago resulted
In general overhauling OF the regulations

Senator Bailey on the Stump.

This is taken from a dispatch giving an
account of Senator Bailey's 4th of July ad-
dress at Abilene. Texas:
Speaking of political contributions of the
insurance companies. he said that the peo-
pies money was taken to elect Roosevelt
and Mckinley. Continuing, he said:
" Hear me; all the money that the insur-
snce potentates have will not be able to buy
the election in 1908 against William j.
Bryan"
Mr.. Bailey is so able man that he should
not indulge in the extravagances of the
stump. He injuries himself when he says
that the elections of Mr.. Mckinley and that
of MI Roosevelt were bought. Such
declaration recalls the assaults by name
made in the heat of the campaign of 1896
on men who, rejecting Mr.. Bryan and his
policies, voted the republican ticket for the
first time in their lives. They were
cused of having been bought. Some were
eminent in politics, others in business, and
others in professional life, and all stood
high in the public estimation. but all be-
came targets for abuse on the mad hunt of
votes for Mr.. Bryan. As it was unjust to
say OF those men that they were bought. SO
IS it unjust to say now that the people in
numbers sufficient to turn the scale in three
presidential elections were bought.
How much money the insurance com
panies contributed to the Mckinley cam
paigns and TO the Roosevelt campaign is
not known, but the amounts could not have
been large enough TO control them The
probability is that the amounts have been
exaggerated They are dwet upon with
great emphasis because OF their character
and the scandal resulting. It is easy to
concede that whatever their contributions
ba
warrant in making them. Although well
justified in their views about the menace
to the public credit which the Bryan pro-
gram involved they had no authority to
combat that program with any portion of
the trust money In their hands.
1t is very easy to distort things in poll
ties. In the contest over the railroad rate
bill number of men of eminence and ster-
ding worth were accused of being under
corporation influences. Mr.. Bailey himself
was one But he did not suffer by reason
OF the charges The corporations we're
busy, but they did not control him What
his enemies presented against him repre-
scented only the extravagances of opposi-
ton Against 1t he had to offer his high
standing as man and a senator, and that
suff1ced.
The American people have never been
bought. and cannot be bought Any charge
TO that effect is but the extravaganza OF
campaigning Mr.. Mckinley won on the
merits of his platforms. and Mr. Roosevelt
as much because of the weakness of his OPP
poneut as because of his own personal
strength. Judge Parker's campaign, al

for refusing to fire on the populace during
the disturbances Of last March. 1t Is be-
lieyed that IL the condemned men are exc
cuted there VIII be a niutiny of the troops,
who greatly excited. In addition to this
disturbance there is a mutinous spirit
among the sailors at Odessa and Seyasto-
pol.
The parliamentary situation IS growing
more rather than less difficult. A division
Is appearing between the constitutional
democrats and the peasant and artisan
members. the latter getting solidly together
under the title Group of TOLL sugges-
tive designation for legislative faction
This group is apparently bent upon forcing
the issue with the crown and is engaged In
almost daily ministry batting. Steadily at
tention is being focused upon NJ. ALADDIN,
already dubbed the .Danton OF the douma."
This fiery peasant is in the center OF every
disturbance. He may develop into tho man
of the hour when the break comes or he
may be eventually overwhelmed by the
more sober-minded members Of the con-
sentative group.
Apparently the cars effort to placate the
peasantry by offering areas of crown lands
for distribution has failed to produce its
desired effect of checking the revolutionary
spirit. Likewise, his overtures to the con-
stitutional democrats to form ministry
from among the membership of the douma
have yielded no results. The legislators are
shy about accepting an invitation which
might precipitate upon them the full re-
sponsibiity for the readjustments in the
face of a rising tide Of revolt. The difficulty
about securing a parliamentary ministry
has the result of keeping the Goremylsin
ministry in power, and. it is noted by to-
days dispatches, 1t is at the same time in
terfering with the cars plans for a sea

"Go Faster !"

The story from Hamburg about the kaiser
in an automobile successfully racing the
Kiel railroad express and covering seventy
five miles in ninety-nine minutes made
anything but agreeable reading two days
after the Salisbury catastrophe. 1t was
reckless performance. out of keeping with
his maiesty's responsibilities to his people
and to the world. 1t sets bad example.
for everything the kaiser does that may be
copied Is copied in Germany. He turns up
the ends of his mustaehe. and forthwith the
BARRIERS throughout his kingdom find call
for that style on the part of their custom
ers. He deepens the grim expression Of his
face and scowI in imitation spreads over
the army and the navy. So now. racing ex-
press trains may become a fad. and lot
of people, not so safely equipped as the
kaiser may pay the penalty of their folly
with their lives. Likewise railroad travel In
Germany will not become the safer. The
challenge will be accepted as issued. and
express trains will increase their speed and
try 10 win. Even the kaiser may lose his
next race.
Go fasteri" 1t is stated. was the kaiser's
cry to the other whiz cars as he passed
them. What a cry that is, 1t embodes
the spirit Of the age. All 'pokes' to the
rear or to the side. Make way Tor those
who want to "get there and are willing
to take all risks. Clear the track for the
plungers-for the men bent clipping
hours. minutes. or even seconds. from the
record. We give a new reading to an old
text. The race, we insist. IS to the swift.
Therefore. be swift.
The new reading has it's perils and it's
disasters. when they come, are appalling. A
hurry to London over a railroad route ad-
vertising and trying for top speed cost
twenty-odd lives and widespread sorrow.
Go fasterE was the cry. The people who
went to their death knew the risk they
were taking. but could not resist the spirit
of the age.
The kaiser won his race, and dozen lines
tell the story. But suppose his machine
had disclosed but one defect, and that had
cost him his life while he was breaking
the record. What story that would have
made! What a penalty his people. and In
a measure the world. would have paid
for mere sporting impulse,
Slow down is just now the better cry.
We are paying too dearly for speed In sew
eral senses. But what people. or what ruler
with the ear of the world. will raise this
cry?

when the Ice supply is scanty they should

no way short of municipal confscation
and distribution Of the supply whereby such
a rule of precedence can be enforced. and 1t
is to be hoped that the vendors OF ice will
recognize the humanity and justice of the
plea and dole out the commodity with the
view exclusively of making 1t go as far as
possible for the comfort and the health OF
the people. Any management of the ice
