Gov. Folks M essage.

Gov. Folks latest message to the Missouri
legislature shows him in the role OF
former-the role in which in a small office
at ST Louis he introduced himself to the
public and won considerable and deserved
reputation Since then he has advanced
rapidly in station. and become a figure in
national political calculations. From this he
has not entirely benefited He has shown
a taste for politics, and has played the
game at times a little too openly to sustain
belief in his entire sincerity. There was
something too much. of Folk and too little
of reform in several OF his maneuvers.
But now We have the reformer again rid
Ing full tilt at a number of public evils. and
he Is entitled TO attention He Is against
legislation by lobby. He is against the
gamblers who have made of horse racing
disreputable sport. He wants the liquor
traffic regulated and controlled. He wants
the trusts and all their works closely scru-
tinized and brought under regulation for
the public welfare. These are topics very
much in evidence nowadays-so much so

Mr.. Carnegie's Latest Gift.

In giving three-quarters of a million dol
lars for the erection of home for the
bureau of American republics in this city
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie places his philan-
thropy upon broad international plane
and materially assists in strengthening the
tie that binds the nations of the western
hemisphere together.
Mr.. Carnegie's letter to Secretary Root
published today. expresses his keen appre-
citation of the opportunity thus afforded to
him to cement the natural alliances of the
western republics.
He was member of the first Pan-Amer-
lean congress and has also participated in
the work of those interested in establish
ing a Pan-American railway. AS the fore
most manufacturer of steel. Mr. Carnegie
has contributed practically to the develop
ment of the entire hemisphere and it is
peculiarly appropriate that he should now
by his munificent gift forward the work
of establishing a perfect understanding
between the republics and promoting their
welfare.
This great sum, so periodically given,
will insure the erection of home for this
bureau which will testify to the Importance
of the work in which it is engaged While
IL is unfortunate that circumstances have
for years been such as to prevent the as
sumption of this enterprise by the repub-
lies themselves. il is also fortunate that

The Lodge Amendment.

One of the chief questions involved in
the effort of Senator Foraker to get at the
truth of the Brownsville affair and its Sc
quel relates to the Presidents constitu-
tional and statutory right as commander
in-chief to dismiss the soldiers of the 25th
Infantry by wholesale, without honor, with
out accusation of specific offenses and
without a trial. In addition to that is the
question of fact, whether or not there was
warrant for accusing all or any of those
men of completely in the alleged soldier
riot.
Yesterday Senator Lodge interjected
new element into the case by proposing an
amendment which. if adopted would cause
the Foraker resolution to acknowledge the
authority of the President to act as he has
acted, under his constitutional prerogative.
This, in effect, would by it's mere adoption
preclude further questioning along the line
of constitutionalty. Thus it is plainly
sought, in the Administrations interest,
either to precipitate a Understanding de-
bate in the Senate on this question, or to
kill the resolution or render it ineffective
by stripping it of all significance.
1t is stated to be doubtful whether a ma
jority of the Senate stands ready at this
time, without taking advice and without
Careful CONSIDERATION, 10 ueCldie lildt the
Presidents action does or does not lie with
in the scope of his constitutional powers.
The move that thus by a stratagem mar
rows the questions involved Is to be deplor-
ed. tending to prevent free test Of the
Senate's sentiment and full exposure of
the facts. 1t has been pointed out that
Senator Lodge has gained an advantage by
his proposition in that a vote to reject 1t
will be tantamount to a declaration that
the President has exceeded his consttu-
tional authority. and is therefore subject
to impeachment, a point to which it is easy
to believe the Senate is not now ready to
move, If ever. Surely, however, the Ian
guage of the Lodge amendment can be so
framed that it's acceptance or rejection
will not necessarily commit the Senate to
positive position on this question in advance
of the full inquiry, which should be ordered
as promptly as possible.

that they hardly define the political status
of an advocate. He may be a democrat, like
Gov. Folk, or a republican. like somebody
else.
1t Is when he reaches the question OF the
initiative and referendum that Gov. FOLK
takes ground that will increase the favor in
which he is already held by Mr.. Bryan, and
that may make him dear to the populist
heart. He Is in favor of such law and
urges it's enactment. All populists should
warm to him on that proposition. jerry
Simpson made his way to fame, and to Of
fee at 5000 year, on that cry, and We're
he living would applaud the Missouri gov
ernor on that feature of the message.
Gov. Folk leans to a convention for revis-
ing the federal Constitution. In that he is
right. The questions he would submit to
such a body are the initiative and refer
endum, the election of United States sena-
tors by direct vote, and an income tax.
Whatever our views may be on either or
all of those propositions, we should profit
by discussion of them by a picked body
of lawyers and students of government
But there are other questions waiting, and
all could be presented for debate should a
convention be called to consider the whole
state of the Union.
What say the democrats of Missouri to
the message? Are they with or against
their governor? Mr. Bryan is their ma
tional leader, and he is with the governor.
Can Gov Folk with Mr.. Bryan's assist
ance, secure what he wants from the Mis-
souri, legiSlature?

A Congressional Wreck Inquiry.

Representative Morrelrs resolution pro-
viding for congressional inquiry into the
causes of railroad disasters is a concrete
expression of the public feeling that the
time has come to get down to the first
causes of condition that constitutes a ma
tional disgrace as well menace. Only
by means of such an investigation, con-
Quoted by members of Congress, aided by
experts, and empowered to compel the at
tendance of witnesses and the production
of records, can the general situation be ex-
amined and the conditions exposed in their
entirety. Coroner's juries here and there
bring facts to light that indicate bad man
agement on the part of the corporations, or
dangerous economies, or weak yielding to
labor union demands or threats in the mat
ter of disciplinary measures, but until the
evil is treated a national basis it will
be impossible to obtain relief from the col
lision horror.
To ensure results more certainly this in
vestigaton should be conducted by a joint
committee of the two houses rather than
by representatives of house alone.
What is needed today is legislation, aimed
at the laxity of the railroad admins ration.
We need. for instance, enforcibe statute
compelling the equipment of all interstate
lines with automatic devices which will
prevent the violation Of block-signal rules.
The investigation proposed is merely pre-
liminary step in this enterprise, and 1t
should be so planned as to be as thorough
and effective and certainly produc-
tive of legislative results as possible
A joint committee will attain this end
more surely than an independent inquiry
by the House 1t is obvious that nothing
can be accomplished this winter, with the
time of the short session so thoroughly oc-
cupied by the work of immediate legisa-
ton Inasmuch as men. women and chill
dren are dying by scores every few days in
consequence of the laundering methods of
our railway managers and operatives, time
is precious. Therefore authority should be
given this winter for the creation of a joint
committee to sit during the spring and sum-
mer and prepare a report for submission to
the houses next December. The interstate
commerce commission has already proposed
an investigation and its work should eff
fectively supplement that which is under
taken directly by Congress.

That Elastic Block System.

That the elasticity of the B. & O.'s block
system probably played an important part
In the Terra Gotta disaster was further
suggested by Yesterdays testimony. Opera
tor Detrow of the Silver Spring station
stated that he had given engine 2120 draw
Ing the dead head" train. the white sig
nal when 1t passed his station. That signal
permitted Hildebrand to proceed to the next
block. which UP to $50 would be Takoma.
and after $50 until o'clock University, and
after I O'Clock Rhode Island avenue. He
passed Takoma at 631. one minute after
that station scheduled to close. He
might with warrant. have supposed 1t
closed if he saw no lights. OF course If
there were lights his only excuse for not
stopping would be their observation by the
fog. in which case. owing to the closing
of the station nightly at $50. he would not
be bound by the rule to stop and investi-
gate The white light at Silver Spring
gave him warrant to proceed until stopped,
even as far as University. and the fact that
a white instead of a green signal was there
shown, as at first stated, renders the bear
ing of the intermittent block system upon
the disaster even more important than pre-
viously seemed likely. Now enters a new
factor of Importance In this connec-
sheet bears him out-that he had a report
of engine 2120 from Kensngton but none
from Forest Glen. The latter is another of
these intermittent stations. open in the day
and closing at $50. 1t had evidently closed
ahead of time In any case. Hildebrand,
finding it closed might easily have been
led to believe that Takoma. of the same
class. was closed also He would not be as
keenly on the alert for signals as though
he had found Forest Glen at work
So the trail of responsibility goes deeper.
1t Immediately strikes another question.
Why did Forest Glen close before $50? Is
termittent stations to close as soon as train
Ct has passed. regardless of what Is follow
ing? One of the officials has testified that
II is the duty of all such operators to secure
permission before leaving their stations. 1t
has also been stated that these stations
not supposed to close when an extra is
approaching. But Forest Glen in that case
violated orders. How often are those orders
violated?
1t is impossible to avoid the conclusion
that the whole system Is loosely managed
and that the elastic block plan adds confu-
sion to the operation of trains. 1t may be
possible to reduce the case to exact terms
and to disclose precisely wherein lay the
fault on Sunday night. but even If this does
not happen enough is already known to con-
vince the public that block system that
lacks the prime element of certainty and
continuity is not a measure of protection
and must be abandoned.
