1t Is to be hoped that nothing IL masked

Smoke Bill in the Senate

1t is to be hoped that the Senate will act
promptly on the House bill just favorab bly,
reported without amendment from the Sem
ate District committee extending the pro-
visions of the anti-smoke law to include
railroad locomotives. This measure should
in fact have been enacted into law a year
ago. but If approved by the President be-
fore March 4 it will still be In season for
the railroads to do something by the end
of the present year to comply with its
terms. The corporations have sufficiently
indicated their opposition to a compulsory
enactment to warrant the belief that they
viii now oppose the passage of the bill.
The fact. however. that the District COM
mittee unanimously reports 1t without
amendment should encourage the hope that
1t will be vigorously pressed. The railroads
have indicated their willingness to adopt a
"smokeless" fuel. such as hard coal or
coke, and If such a fuel can be found to
give the necessary power without foulipe

to electricity Much doubt is expressed on
this point. The public is not especially con-
cerned as to which method is adopted In

Another Delicate School Question.

They have paid dearly for 1t. The teacher

Brownsville.

The investigation Of the Brownsville mat

prospects are that it will not close for
some time. 1t should not be hurried for an
early report Next winter VIII do. We

like style. with nothing assumed. nothing
guessed at. nothing jumped at The wit
-nesses are numerous. the lawyers compe-
tent and alert and just enough feeling has
been aroused to insure the full attention
of the country.
1t must be admitted that the discharged
men who have been on the stand here have
made a good impression. Unlettered. and
unused to such company, they have borne
themselves well and told their stories
plainly. Characterization has at no point
shaken them. The witness-stand is no
comfortable place for anybody. Lawyers
who make 1t uncomfortable for everybody,
appear there, as rule, to less advantage
than the laymen whom they so often tor
ture. But these colored men. bearing the
stigma of discharged without honor from
the army where they served long with
honor. are to be congratulated on their ex-
perience in a place from which 50 many
men ADLER than themselves shrink.

knowing the persons who had "shot up
Brownsville they could not hand them over
for prosecution. and paid the penalty of
their ignorance with their uniform. They
were dismissed from the service in dis

Does Inspection inspect

From the New York World.
No ship is collision-proof. but any ship
can be so made that she will float when dis
abed
Even the hfe-saving equipment of the
Larchmont was inadequate: In the smooth
est summer sea it Is likely that not al her
passengers would have escaped a disabling
collision. The inquiry that was raised BY
the burning OF the Slocum Is thus suggested
afresh: Does inspection inspect?
But the question of equipment Is quite
secondary to the need Of structural sea
worthlness. Escape from a sinking boat is
no easy task with the best Of equipment,
put noats that do not sink are quite prac-
ticable. New steamboats, of over 600 ton,
are now quite generally built with proper
compartments. The trouble is that the fed
eral government has been too tender in its
regard for the property rights Of the own
ers OF old boats like the Larchmont that are
unfit to carry passengers but are allowed
to do so.
