To Make Collisions Safe.

Encouraging information of railroad
progress comes from New York. The
news is that:
Frank Hedley. general manager of the
Interborough Company. has inv, nted anc
patented a device which he believes Will
prevent the telescoping of cars In tran
wrecks In speaking Of the device he
said:
1T Is generally known among railroad
men that most all NJ the telescoDing OF
cars Is due to the fact that the front OF
the rear car Is abe to climb u-on the
rear platform of the car ahead, and thus
can go right through the t1imsy wood-
work with which the upper portion OF
the car is usually constructed.
The device Is a simple one. 1t is an
attachment adapted to be secured to the
end of a car or car platform which mas
three prongs or projections on Its outer
surface. When two cars come together
these prongs on the platform interiock
and the car is prevented from rising
above the platform of the one it strikes.
1t costs little to put 1t on new car.
This is a step in the right direction. but
a very short one. Where some inventor
can put in good work is to devise
means for preventing collision. 1t would
seem that with double tracks. an abso-
lutte blocking system. and the abolition
of all facing switches, collisions. head-on
or rear-end. ought to be avoided. Such
a condition would render this wonderful
anti-telescoping invention obsolete. Let
It become obsolete as soon as possible!

Gen. Wilson's Suggestion.

If there is one man in Washington espe-
ciaiiy qualified to speak concerning the
care Of the local parks and the prope
emplacement of statues and monuments
II is Gen. John NJ. Wilson. In addition
to being a native of the Capital city, and
feeling therefore a direct. personal and
intimate interest in its welfare. Gen. Will
son served for years as the officer in
charge of the public buildings and
grounds. and in that capacity became ia

Selling Trust Goods.

ing corporation and the so-called tobacco
trust. The government contends that the
former entered six years ago into a con-
tract with the American Tobacco Com
pany and its constituent corporations
whereby the territorial range Of each was
defined and guaranteed for unmolested
trading. If this clam is we'll founded

1t will, of course, be incumbent upon the
government. in defending itself from the
issue of writs to compel restitution. to ad-
vance proof of the existence of such COP
tracts and to prove also that the goods
seized were in transit under such agree
ments as it alleges to exist in suppression
of competition. At the same time it is
believed that the owning corporation in
pressing for the recovery of it's property
will probably be required to show cause
why it should not thus be deprived of it's
goods, and in SO doing will have to expose
in large measure it's contractual relations
with the other tobacco corporations. The
proceeding, therefore. is calculated ma
terially to clear the situation with refer
ence to this trade.
Natura ly the owning corporation is not
particularly concerned as to the loss of
goods worth approximately only $1,000.
but it is vitality interested In the defense
of its right to ship goods between states
and from this country abroad. And not
only the tobacco interest, but all other
manufacturing corporations which fall
under or closely approach the lines of the
antitrust laws and practices of the ad-
ministration are vitality interested in the
definition of the governments powers in
the premises. Thus these $4,000 ciga-
rettes may raise a great cloud Of legal
smoke and may eventually burn many
fingers.

Levees for the Mississippi.

Already committed on the subject of
improving the Mississippi river. the
President at Vicksburg yesterday INDUCED
in specifications which are likely to make
him very popular throughout the great
valley. The levee problem is there re-
garded as the key to the general wish.
Make banks for the big river. and keep
1t within those banks. and the rest is
easy. At any rate, so has run much Of
the talk heard in Washington for quar-
ter century past on the subject OF the
Mississippi and it's needs.
The project is large. as will also be the
outlay If it is entered upon. 1t is not a
simple proposition of throwing up DIRT
and reinforcing long high ridge on both
sides of the stream through the low
reaches. Even that would be very ex-
pensive. But foundations must be laid,
which will be more expensive still. The
land is yielding and uncertain. and cut
offs are frequent. An old river joke is of
the planter who went to bed, with his
residence at the top of the landing. and
awoke next morning to find himself
twenty miles from water. The river dur
ing the night had found a new channel.
and left him, between suns, dry If not
high.
A sort of levee system has always been
maintained But Of necessity it has been
inadequate. More money has been re-
quired than could be raised by the means
at hand. State aid has been small, and
private subscriptions smaller For years
many friends Of the river have urged that
the national government should under
take what the President now advises.
The President puts the case persuasive
ly in citing the work of the Dutch at
home in besting the sea for control of
their country. The Mississippi valley is
larger and far richer than Holland; and
made secure from overflow and brought
nearer to the large markets by a deeper
water transportation. 1t would be. as the
President says. the richest empire In the
world.
But 30 big is the project the President
again sounds the note Of warning It
must be undertaken In the spirit of its
full size and meaning. waste Of money
would certainly follow the introduction Of
side issues and detached experiments,
and Congress. even after a start, might
shut Off supplies IL the scheme showed
signs of running away with the Treasury.
Now that the Panama canal Is under
way. this is the south's supreme interest
in national development. Her leading
men. both in federal and In state office,
and all Of her commercial and financial
bodies. will give it support.
