the left hand stream. Tho right hand

Are the Rails Safe?

statement of the utmost importance to
the travelling public has just been MADE
in the course of the discussions OF the
railroad operating officials now attending
the sessions of the American Railway
Association Bad steel rails. i, is asserted.
are the cause of many of the disasters
which have recently occurred on the rail-
road lines in this country. This charge
is based upon the results of an investiga-
ton conducted by a committee of the asso-
citation. aided by chemists and metal
lurgists. The examination of many speci-
mems taken from the tracks dlscloses the
fact it is stated, that dangerous percent
age of the steel rails manufactured today
have latent flaws which cause breakages
under the impact of fast trains.
Here is the starting point for an inves-
tigation by the railroads and the United
States government, working perhaps indie
pendently but aiming at the same point,
the ascertainment of the degree of RELIABLE
ity of the steel upon which depend the
safety of tens of thousands of lives hourly.
IL is a significant fact, in connection with
the shockingly high percentage of disas-
tiers now causing the country to demand
a reform that the number and seriousness
of railroad accidents have increased with
the running speed of trains The theory
that the rails are not trustworthy under
the higher tension of present use is by no
means unreasonable
But this theory cannot refute the we'll
known fact that great many of the dis
asters on the rails are due, not to bad
material or the breaking of parts of the
running gear, but to disobedience and mis-
understanding of orders. The wreck on the
Southern which cost the life of President
Spencer was due to lapse in the signal
system -, Terra Gotta wreck near this
city which destroyed nearly fifty lives,
was plainly due to improper management
on the part of the signalmen trainmen or
their superiors. There were no bad rails in
either case.

The Taft Boom.

Secretary Taft, it is reported. will make
his visit to the Philippines as arranged.
The Ohio campaign will not detan him. He
will explain his relation to political matters
before he departs, and leave his interests in
the care of his friends.
This seems to be a wise course Judge
Taft is not a stumper, and could hope for
no great returns from stamping tour. His
case can be effectively stated by others, and
of course will be. One or two addresses by
him will be sufficient to give his lieutenants
their cue, and the rest will be with his man
ayers and the voters.
But the Philippine trip should count all
around 1t should be of advantage both to
the country and to himself. First to the
country because he is the father of what
may be called our Philippine policy. He
brought order out of chaos in he islands
gave the people there hope, won their con-
fidence. and encouraged the calling of the
native assembly which is soon to organize
His presence at Manila at that tine will
hearten the Filipinos and strengthen our
own position. We all wish the experiment
success, and if success follows. the Secre
tary will share largely in the credit.
The Taft boom has been thrown some
what out of plumb by mismanagement. 1t
should never have been connected with
any favorite-son appeal. 1t was bigger
than that. 1t was of a national charac-
ter to begin with, and should have been
held to that broad relation. Secretary
Taft has won his spurs in national Office,
not in matters having special bearing upon
Ohio. He has shown unusual capacity for
public business of a new and difficult kind,
and the country is asked to believe that
he would acGuit himself well in the highest
office under the government This is the
true meaning of the Taft boom. and it
should never have had any other interpre-
tation. To connect it, some ill-advsed
people are doing, with an effort to destroy
Senator Foraker as the leader of the Ohio
republicans and the leading republican de-
batter in the United States Senate. is to
injure it.
But matters will probably straighten out
in time. Secretary Taft has record which
will bear the closest inspection, and he Is
adding to it all the time. If he is nominated
for President he will get the full benefit OF
it in the race; if some other good republi-
can is nominated he will get the benefit
of il in the race. The strength of the Taft
record is that it is republican. and that it
everywhere inures to the partys credit
and benefit.

railroading. such as that attending the
wreck of the New York Central electric
train north of New York city a few months
ago. may possibly be explained this
ground. But even in that case there is a
strong suspicion that the disaster was
caused by the insufficient spiking of the
track at sharp curve. In the test runs
OF a similar train over the same track at
corresponding speed nothing happened.
and it is significant that the track had been
double-spiked after the accident.
1t is nevertheless imperative that this
charge against the railroad metal now Be-
ing produced and in use in this country be
sifted to the bottom and the full truth dis
closed. 1t Is disQuieting to be told that
the rails are subject to breaks under strain
when it is already known that the train
speed has outstripped the capacity of the
average railroad organization to cope with
the problem of preventing disaster through
congestion and laundering.

A Railroader on Railroads.

Let those who are interested in the rail
road question read the following extracts
from a speech delivered last night:
This is what all the railways must do
submit TO the law. Wall street must
learn from the bitter experience of the
last few months that the railways are not
playthings, that their securities are not
counters in the game of speculation. and
that they are entitled to legitimate divi-
dends.
You must manage your railways so as
TO placate the public. Above all, you must
make your doings public: you must show
(what / believe 1t Is perfectly easy to
show that the railways of this country
are not overcapitaliZeu; that not for an
instant could they be produced for their
present bonds and stocks.
Above all things, the interstate COM
merce commission at Washington must be
strengthened; It's numbers should be en-
larged; the salary OF its members should be
Increased; 1t should be filled with the ablest
men of this country, and you must cult
waite them and act in harmony with then
