mere local pride to take care of a
newspaper which properly takes
care of your interests, and no one

charity concern instead OF a

The Dime Novel Evil.

Without entering into the legal aspects Of
a case now pending in the District Supreme
Court relative to the right of certain pub
fishers to send their books through the
mails as second class matter, il is in order
to express the hope that this particular
class of printing might be permanently sup
pressed. in the interest of Juvenile morality
The books in question are of the most lurid
dime novel type. They exploit crime and
set forth in glittering colors the joys of the
bandit life, the unspeakable delights of the
unconventional existence, and the heroism
of evil doors. They are just inside the pale
of the law as regards textual morality but
they are undeniably vicious in their
tendency. and their consumption by Young
readers is known to be fraught with serI-
Gus consequences.
1t is impossible to reckon the number of
youths who have gone astray in conse-
quence OF reading this sort of so-called lit
erature. Their minds inflamed unwhoIe-
somey by the narratives of daring deeds
and hairbreadth escapes, they have wan
dered from home. sought vicious COM
panions, or dwelt In the realms of sick i'm

moral stamina and have drIfted into lives

Wanton Slaughter at Casa Blanca.

Cdbled descriptions of the joint attack by
French and Spaniards upon the town of
Casa Blanca. Morocco, indicate that there
was a great deal of unnecessary severity
on the part of the troops. The SpaniardS
especially are described evincing fierce
delight in the opportunity to fire upon the
natives. showing no discrimination between
the unoffendng Jews and the possibly re-
bellious Moors. Some of the tales related
of the sharpshooters stationed upon a para
peted roof of the Spanish consulate are
shocking in the extreme.
Conduct of this character is not calcu-
lated to allay the fierce hatred of the MoOrs
for the Christians. and may indeed precipi-
tate the religious warfare that it Is unde-
niably the duty of the European powers to
avert by any possible means. If this re-
volt should spread to all the trbeSmen a
most serious situation may develop in
Morocco and the adjoining Mohamnedan
states. The process of pacification must be
deliberate and conciliatory. Strong govern
ment must be substituted for inefficient
rule. A firm front must, of course. be pre-
scented. But there is marked difference
between demonstrating a purpose to sup
press rioting and pillaging and revolution.

The Terra Gotta Wreck Indictment:

A coroners jury. after investigating the
Terra Gotta wreck. he'd responsible for
that disaster not only the train crew of the
train which crashed into the local. but also
certain officials of the railroad whose duties
bear upon the operation of the trains and
the maintenance of the block signal sys-
TEN. The grand jury, after conducting pre-
sumably as thorough an inquiry into the
case, returns indictments against only the
four men who on that night operated the
rear train.
The grand jury proceeds upon the theory
that the signals We're properly set and
that they were misunderstood or ignored
by the train crew. Upon that assumption
it could not consistently accuse the superior
officials of the company of any share in the
causes leading to the disaster. If those
signals We're properly set the responsibility
unquestionably rested squarely upon the
men who were running engine 212O with
its train of empty cars down the line.
Upon no other theory. however. would it
be possible to accuse the train crew and
exonerate the signalmen or the dispatchers.
There may remain in some minds doubt
as to the exactness of the hypothesis. The
testimony adduced before the cOroner's jury
covered a wide range and led to numerous
denCe appeared to point to the fact that
the train in the rear was sufficiently warned
of the presence of a blOckadinS train in
front and that reckless speed was devel-
Oped on a foggy night.
The findings of the coroner's jury have
already led to the institution of some
changes calculated to safeguard the travel
ing public from disaster, but nothing short
of drastic punishments. administered to
reckless trainmen, ever serve to teach
the lesson that rairoadng must be serv
ice of absolute fidelity to orders and that
there is tolerance for the engineer or
conductor who will take chances use!essly,
involving risk to human lives. 1t may be
that the trial of the cases the grand jury
now presents to the court will serve this
purpose. Meanwhile some more certain
method of securing the adoption of reliable
safety devices and the abandonment of
Enthusiastically signal systems by the rail-
road corporations themselves than the mere
admOnitons of cOroner'S jury must be
found and applied rigidly to bring about
the reforms that the people imperat.vely
demand.

Senators by Popular Choice.

THIS : tin, Language of the Maryland
dmparats on tle subject OF a senatorial
PRIMARY.
Whereas two United States senators
are to ha elected hy the next legislature
of Mary land, one Tor the uneXpired term
OF the late Senator German. and the other
for fun term OF six years from March
1. l:Tj. and
Whereas in former elections of United
States senators in this state much of the
important time of the legislature has been
taken up by Intellectual ballotings for sem
aturS. To the great prejudice of the public
welfare and business;
Therefore be II resolved. That II IS the
sense of this convention that the democrats
of Mary land should be given an opportunity
of voting directly for nited States sena-
tors IN the manner in which II has been
done recently in Mississippi Alabama and
other southern states.
The latest contest, which resulted IN the
election of Mr.. Rayner, afforded full war
rant for this action. That Mr.. Rayner was
the popular choice was evident and no
sooner was that choice forced upon the
legislature than the democracy of the state
ratified II by newspaper expressions and
otherwise. But 1t had To be forced. In the
absence OF formal instructions for Mr..
Rayncr, Mr.. German and Mr.. Rasin were
able to delay matters in the Legislature
until all other business was blocked and
an angry factional row fought out. Both
the public and the democratic party of
Maryland suffered.
Now. under this dciyerance of the democ-
raCy. there Will Ice u different and better
situation. The primary ordered will de-
velpp sentiment in advance. and the legis-
laturc if democratic will have instructions.
"A few hours VII suffice for the business
when the lrgislatur takes it up. Two SEN
ators chosen by the cople will be promptly
comm sSioned. and w-making will not be

AS to the candidates, interest should be-

both in Congress next winter and In the
democratic national convention next year.
He would have been hailed as the express
sion of the conservatism of the south
aroused by the latest phase of Organism
and would have been put forward to lead In
the shaping of the national platform on
conservative lines. But not now. He has
nothing to show for his strenuous cam
paign but a beggarly few hundred votes
over his radical rival; and 1t is suggested
that they were thrown by republicans anx-
ious to assist in good work even in the
ranks of the opposition. Had he not been
a national figure and his party's leader in
the lower house of Congress he would have
gone down before his local rival
All of this considered. Mr. Bryan need
not worry greatly about Mississippi. He
need not hesitate to visit the state on his
next tour of the south. or to express HIM
self while in its borders frankly about the
policies he favors- The Fardamans are

Blow at Standards Power.
From the Wall Street Journal

Whatever may be the other results of the
attacks on the Standard Oil Company, there
can be little doubt that it will suffer not
only in prestige but in some part of it's
power over American finance. The aboi-
ton of rebates is freeing the railroads from
the domination of the Standard Oil. In like
manner the markets are likely to be less
under the influence of its leading capitalists.
This does not mean of course, that the
Standard Oil Company Is to be extinguished
but that its overshadowing power is likely
to be very much lessened 1t is a question
whether the men who will succeed those
who made the Standard Oil Company will
be equal to the task Of maintaining its SUI
premacy in the new conditions which con-
front it.

correct. He has taken refuge in silence 1t
must not be long, for his cessation from
speech must be difficult: but for the present
he maintains silence, and there is no reason
to wonder that he has at least tried it. We
trust it will agree with him. Accounts are
to the effect that he is happier, this sum-
mer. than for long time past We do not
say the country is happier-though a sense
of relief is not entirely confined to the
President. But we shall be curious to notice
how long it will last.
