Our Philippine Responsibility

The Baltimore News, in an editorial on
the approaching Filipino assembly, saws.
President Roosevelt is to be heartily
commended for this fulfilment OF his
promise that the Filipinos should he given
a chance to participate in their own gov
ernment and everywhere 1t will be h0pad
that this substantial evidence of our gov
ernments good faith will promote tran
quillity and good feeling in the Islands
The requirement of the Philippines was a
very bad piece of business from the he
ginning. and the lapse of time has NOT
made the transaction appear in an inn
proved light. Even among the most rabid
OF our native land grabbers the impress
sion has steadily gained ground of late that
a serious mistake was made when our gov
eminent insisted that Spain should unload
its archipelago on, us. The un-American
Idea OF owning distant colonies has thus
far failed to take root in this country"
Does not the News recall the circum-
stances under which the archipelago was
taken over by us? Land grabbers did not
dictate the policy. At the outset il was
vigorously opposed in the highest places.
President Mckinley and his cabinet had
their doubts about the matter. and there

The Trolley Collision.

Although occurring outside of the local
jurisdiction today's trolley car accident is
of such vital concern to the people of Wash
ingtOn that they are disposed to demand the
most searching investigation into the cause
and positive fixing of the responsibility.
The patrons of the line in question. as, in
fact, every other electric line in this vi
entity. either residents of or workers in
Washington. and the sense of local public
security is seriously shaken by such dis
aster.
AS far ii can now be judged the &C
Cident was due to bad management on the
part of officials or operatives of the line.
Undertaking to run passenger and work
trains on the same track, in opposite direc-
tons, is always a hazardous business. 1t
should be undertaken only with numerous
turnout switches and under a rigidy main
tained system of signals and orders. 1t
would appear that this morning a work
train. laden with rails, was sent up the line
to make the Clarendon ''Y' ahead of
passenger train. 1t failed to do So and
collision resulted causing the serious in
jury of twenty people and possibly the
death of some. There seems to have been
failure somewhere to inform the crews
of the work train and the passenger car
of the presence Of these two upon the same
section of the line. 1t is also evident from
the testimony of passengers that the city,
bound car was late and was running at
dangerous rate of speed.
The single-track electric line is a constant
source of danger in any community Wash
ington's double-traCk system is fed by too
many of them today. Out beyond a certain
radius from the city the one-track branches
wander of across country in all directions,
and the wonder is that there have not been
more disasters. Inside of the District this
matter is kept well under regulation, al
though there remain one or two spurs of
single track inside the local area which
should be promptly doubled for the sake of
the public safety.
The Virginia authorities now must inves-
tigate to ascertain whether this accident
was due primarily to high speed, bad curves
bad equipment, poor operation, laundering
signaling, or general bad mana cement, or
all combined Whoever is responsible for
the collision and the injury of passengers
should be held strictly to account Mean
while it behooves the managers of the road
to take such precautions against other acct
dents. of this same character or others, as
will reassure the public. now seriously dis
turbed by the possibility of further catas-
trophies attributable to the same elemental
cause. .

Hartman at New London,
From the Springfield Union.

The fact seems to be that Mr. Hartman
resolved to see the race at the best pos
sible advantage, and having a speedy boat
he crowded in where he had no business
to be. He defied the rules of the course
in a Enthusiastically arrogant manner.
1t is not the first time he has created the
those who cannot for pecuniary reasons
afford to violate them. He belongs to
that class that believes money buys every
thing from railroads to preferred positions
at college boat race. What was it to
him that Congress a few years ago passed
law giving to the revenue cutter service
precisely the same police powers over a
race course in navigable waters that the
serve a clear right of way for a process
sion! He snapped his fingers at this law,
but he found the law no respecter Of per-
sons. and for his open defiance he suf-
fered the humiliation of arrest.

the part of the one in charge. such days
as the Fourth may be passed not only
safely but pleasantly on the water. There
is no real fun in taking chances with death.
The enjoyment Of such an outing does not
in truth spring from the Drawing Of dan
gers. 1t arises from the contact with ma
ture, the motion of the waves. the invig-
Grating effect of the sun. the inhaling of
pure air and the exercise that comes from
unusual use of the muscles. The death
roll would be much shorter If these truths
were understood. 1t is sincerely to be
hoped that tomorrow will pass without a
single accident on the waters in this vicin-
ity, as well as on the land.
