Signs of Slowing Down?

There can be no denial of the
statement that the politico-economic
conservatives have been finding con-
siderable causes for satisfaction in
some recent developments. Note
this catalogue:
Pennsylvania Democrats have de-
clined to indorse Bryan.
Senator Knox has squarely made
an issue with the President, stand
ing for more literal acceptance Of
the Constitution.
The Wisconsin State senate. domi-
mated by LaFollette men, has over
whelmingly defeated a two-cent-fare
measure.
Governor Hughes vetoed a two
cent-fare bill in New York.
All these things are significant:
certainly interesting. But they are
nowise conclusive. They suggest
some things, but they prove nothing
as to general tendencies of the pub
lie mind.
IL may be conceded that business
interests are disposed to some meas
ure Of new caution, incident, not to
any slackening of business, for that
does not appear to have taken place,
but to a condition of what may be
called brain fag. Folks have been
thinking and talking progressive
and constructive policies so long
that some Of them have a bit
wearied. Then the stock market
cramP served to give excuse for
changing the subject, and some of
them have undertaken TO do so.
But the great masses of people are
not much disposed to slow down.
There is with them a growing feel
ing that only beginning has been
effected in the execution of the pro-
gressive program, and they have
small disposition to have things

FRIDAY, JUNE Is. 1907.
The Steel Rails.

Time was when the Carnegie Steel
Company, long before the days of
the trust, threatened to build it's
own railroad from the head of the
Ohio TO Atlantic tidewater unless
the Pennsylvania railroad should
make certain concessions that had
been demanded. The great PennsyI-
vania rather abjectly surrendered,
because it was in no condition to
fight the steel king.
Today there is prospect of a sharp
disagreement between the Steel
trust and the railroads, with the adj
vantage seemingly on the other side.
A big conference of steel men and
railroad executives in New York yes
terday discussed the quality of steel
rails of late, with a view of securing
reforms that would provide a rail
strong and reliable enough to meet
the needs of modern traffic. This
followed the recent uItimatum of
the Pennsylvania that it would
make its own rails unless it could
get better ones from the trust at a
fair price. The meeting was entirely
friendly, of course. But the more of
such friendliness the American bust
ness world experiences just now the
nearer we shall be to the benefits of
a valuable, even though antiquated,
competition.

Of 176 Washington Park, Brooklyn, and

displayed a perversity and ecceptrlcity
almost human until its owner tanned It.

A Skeleton Police Force.

Every police precinct in the Dis
trict of Columbia is short Of men
j save one. Moreover, not enough men
TO fill the vacancies with the brains
and strength required of policemen
have applied to take the examina-
tions. Finally, if every vacancy in
the force were to be filled tomorrow
the District would still be made
quately patrolled.
A special report to the Commits
sioners from the Superintendent of
Police emphasizes this dangerous
situation. There is no exaggera-
ton in the use of that word dan
gerous." Any community of 100000
persons, spread over ten square
miles of territory, relying in the
daytime on less than 100 patrolmen,
may well regard its position as
dangerous.
What shall be done? Congress has
raised the ray of policemen and
given them special advantages in
annual increases and opportunity
for promotion. The examinations
are simple, practical, necessary-at-
taching the greater Importance to
reasonable physical tests and keep
ing the intellectual tests down to
the lowest practical level.
The expectation is that this phase
of the evil viii solve itself. As the
demand for workmen lessons, to-
ward late summer, the number
of applicants viii increase. Before
fall it is thought the department
will be able to fill all the gaps in the
force as now organized. Meanwhile
there ought TO be no surprise that
able-bodied men do not enlist for
SIS a month, work seven days in the
week, and pay SIS for uniforms and
equipment, when they can earn from
$50 to S12O month as workmen.
But the need for more men will
still exist. One would think Sena-
tors and Representatives who own
property in the District would see
it, but they do not. They go right
along permitting 200 men of a com
mand of OBS to be withdrawn for
specials details so that for all the
streets and highways of that terri
tory over which Congress has exclu-
sive jurisdiction" there are less than
100 policemen available for day
patrol duty. Fully 100 men more
Should have been provided five years
ago. The people of the District
should see that they are not want
ing after the next session OF their
municipal councils.
