The Latest Demonstration.

A great touring motor car was being sent
yesterday alongside a railroad track at
racing speed. train was running paraller
motor car was deaf, as were all but one Of
his five passengers. Nevertheless. 1t is be-
Neved that he was aware OF the near pres
ence OF the train. and was in fact trying
to beat it in speed. Suddenly the highway
curved and crossed the tracks. The motor
car was sent around the turn and was
struck by the locomotive. Three were
killed, a fourth was mortally hurt and the
fifth occupant of the car was seriously in
jured.
This is merely a variant of a familiar
theme. Nearly every day this summer the
wires have brought -tidings OF such acci-
dents. reckless speeding. ignorance Of the
roads or inexperience at the controller con-
tributing to fatal accidents. Now 1t has
been railroad crossing collision, now a
bump into tree or a telegraph pole, or
again a ditching OF the car.
The death roll mounts very rapidly. The
fatalities already recorded do not appear
to warn the motorists of the narrow
chances they take on the roads, for they
continue to push their cars to their limits
Of speed and to risk their lives at crossings
with a recklessness which can only be at
tributed to a veritable mania for covering
the ground.
The regulations limiting the speed Of ve-
hicles on the highways now in force in
practically every state and city are framed
primarily for the security Of pedestrians

Denounces the Whipping Post.

Warden Meserve of the county work
house at Newcastle. Del. has fina ly pro-
claimed his unalterable opposition to the
whipping post as method of furnishing
Offenders against The laws. Inasmuch as
that delectable institution has been in vogue
In Delaware for more than a century this
declaration is likely TO have a deterrent ef-
feet upon those people who still believe that
the lash is cure for evil tendencies and
safeguard against the comgni nission of
crime. Whenever an agitation has been be-
gun for the Inauguration of the whipping
process in any community the Della ware
whipping post has been brought into evil
dence as proof that the oidtime process
has not entirely disappeared. And each
time the opponents of the lash have ad-
duced proof OF its inefrectiveness. The SEN
timent OF the people of Delaware toward
the post has been steadily changing of late
years, and a demand for the rescue OF the
little state from the grip OF this medieval
method has been repeatedly voiced of late.
Il is altogether likely that the conversion
OF Warden Meserve, after an experience of
Q number OF years in the application OF the
Lash. will convince enough Of the remaining
adherents of the process to enable the COM
monwealth to rid itself OF the institution.
Warden Meserve. on rendering his resigna-
A0h W dCScpl q DSltST place, says.
Il have made very careful and un-
biased study of the effect OF the whipping
post on men OF this class. and have come
TO the conclusion that 1t Is all bad 1t brings
out in man all that IL revengeful and
hurtful. and he arrays himself against law,
order and society.

Taft and His journey.

A popular topic of the hour is Secretary
Taft globe-trotter.
The Secretary OF War Is something of
traveller. He has covered a good deal OF
space In the past few years. and keeps
going But there Is much to show for II.
He travels neither for pleasure nor for his
health. Business Is always the reason for
a journey. and he always successfully at
tends to It, Wherever he has gone results
Of value have marked his visit.
This latest trip upon which he has set out
will consume several months and take him
into many countries His principal object
Ia to inspect the new developments In the
Philippines and give some advice about the
assembly which is to meet and organize
shortly. His presence in the Islands Is de-
sired much by the Filipinos by the
Americans. He had the good fortune to
win the confidence completely OF the ma
tives while filling the office of governor gen.
eral of the archipelago and they still feel
for him the highest respect. 1t Is certain
that all of his suggestions will be weighed
with the utmost consideration.
In the Philippines and elsewhere on his
Journey. Secretary Taft will be received
with the greater interest because of the
political speculation which now plays
apOut MS name. Foreigners on ms route
will see the man whom many persons be-
ueve Is destined to be the next President
OF the United States and they may jump
to the conclusion that the matter is al
ready settled.
II Secretary Taft does succeed Mr..
Roosevelt in the White House the fruits
Of his observations on this trip should
be OF great advantage to him In his new
post. The first-hand knowledge 80 recent
ly acquired of the situation in Hawaii
and the Philippines. no less than the look
at the most interesting portions Of Eu-
rope on his way back. will stand him we'll
In hand In shaping the course the Ameri-
can people will expect Of him as chief
magistrate.
But aside from this gossip. the journey
Is we'll undertaken. The Secretary has
still full year and half before him in
his present office, and during that time
much business of Importance will come
before him respecting the Philippines; and
the more ampls his Information on the
subject the surer will be his decisions
and the better the results.
