No Amendments!

The people of Washington, not the trac-
ton companies, are asking Congress for
legislation to provide for rapid transit
car tracks leading TO the Union station
This is public demand, not a maneuver
by the corporations for their own advan-
tage. 1t may be doubted whether the cor
porations themselves are willing to spend
the large sums necessary to extend their
tracks. when they are already securing
practically all the traffic incidental to the
use OF the new station which they would
secure with the proposed new tracks in
service. If they were themselves asking
for this legis alton, in their own interests
to increase their profits there might be
excuse for the proposal of amendments
of general character, affecting the re-
lations OF the corporations and the Dis
tr:ct government, lowering the fares or
extending the transfer privileges. The
traction companies would invite such pro-
posals by seeking new laws. For those
who propose these general propositions of
taxation and fare reduction and transfer
extension to seize upon this measure of
urgent public necessity is unwarranted
and greatly to be deplored. It is to be
hoped that the effort to cucumber the
measure with amendments of this char
acter Will be sharply opposed in commit
tee and defeated. thereby giving the bill
itself fair chance of early passage
through the two houses. If the amend
ments are pressed and secure place on
the bill in committee it is practically GER
tain that there will be no action during
the present session. The persistence of
those who propose these changes consti-
tutes an attack. not upon the corpora
tioRs, but upon the public. The process
may be interesting TO those directly en-
gagged in 1t, but it is hard on the common
citizen who must walk to reach the sta
ton from the cars, and must stand shiver-
ing in the chill airs and the rain waiting
for conveyance while Congress is dal.ying
with this subject.

The aeroplane differs from the gas
bag device in that it requires motion to
sustain it in the air. The balloon may
merely levitate and still preserve its potse
without direction. save as the wind car
ries it. The dirigible machine gains d.
rection by artificial means. but this ad-
vance does not add in the least to Its
| flotation power. Its propelling engine
may break and still it can be held in the
air. The aeroplane, on the other hand,
must be in motion laterally. else 1t Will
descend. This motion may be given to it
by towing line, as in the case of the
Bel kite in the late experiments; or by
an engine driving fan prppellers, which
Prof. Bell proposes to install upon the
Cygnet at once; or by the force of the
wind itself. The last named method is
undoubtedly most to be desired of achieve
ment, for when it becomes possible not
merely to combat, but to utilize, the wind
for f1otaton and advancing purposes, the
problem of human fight is solved.

Chairman New.

The republican national committee did
the right thing in electing Mr. New chair
man. He is a deserving and competent
politician, and his appointment to the post
asst spring had been well received by the
party and the country. He will serve
until convention time. meanwhile having
little to do. His successor, according to
the rule. will be determined by the party's
presidential candidate. If the candidate
is an eastern man his campaign manager
is likely to be an eastern man also; if a
middle states man, man from that sec
ton will probably plan the battle and
fight it. The republicans have been in
power SO long they have many able poll
ticians in their ranks. and whether they
turn to the east or the west for a chief
of staff are reasonably certain to find a
good one.

! equipped ventilating apparatus certain

| from the extent and force of the explosion
at Monongah the mines must have been
unusually filled with the BLACK damp, a
condition which may have resulted from
Indifferent administration.
With all the precautions taken by the
arrangements mine workers will persist
in inviting disaster. Men will go into
gaseous chambers with naked lamps,
well knowing that the exposure of the
flame to the damp may mean death not
only to them but to many others. They
will contrive to carry matches and smok-
ing materials into the min s, and often
frightful catastrophes have resulted from
stolen smokes. They become careless in

otherwise in handling the powder" They

collapse has been caused through their
own perversity in this regard.
On the other hand parsimony in the
cause of numerous mine accidents. The
under equipment of the ventiating appa-
ratus, the failure to provide sufficient
check doors or valves to direct the cur
rents of fresh air and to hold back the
gases, the lack of proper supervision over
the workers to keep them up to stand
ard, these are some of the contributory
causes to mine disasters.
While the government is seeking, under
a narrowly limited authorization, for a
cure for the present railroad dangers, 1t
might with entire warrant of need enter
the field of mine disasters, to seek the
prevention of these recurring horrors. The
annual sacrifice of life underground is too
heavy to be borne without effort to lessen
it. This West Virginia catastrophe should
be utilized as the means of securing the
enactment of law providing the mechan-
ism for thoroughgoing investigation by
federal authorities into the subject of
mine management, and with the view of
prescribing the most effective possible
series of laws and regulations to safe
guard life.

The Third Term.

The President yesterday was quoted as
saying to a caller who had declared that
the people wanted him to continue for an
other term in the White House:
THAT cannot be. / cannot serve be-
yond my present term. l am grateful to
the American people for their kindly feel
ing toward me. but somebody else must
carry on the work"
Hard upon this came the following an
nouncement by the Associated Press:
Although several interviews have been
published with recent White House call
erS to the effect that President Roosevelt
has declared anew that he will decline an
other nomination, it is known that the
President has made no such political
declaration.
1T is pointed out that should he con-
template such statement, he would nat
urally not embody il in a casual CONVERSE
ton with caller, to be repeated or with
held as the caller should elect, but would
make it direct and this he has not done.
This leaves the matter as it was before.
Whatever the President has said to call
ers in reply to pledges of support for
third term he did not mean 1t as an an
nouncement to the country on the sub
ject. Should he decide to repeal the
declaration he made on election night IN
1901 he will do so in a formal address.
VIII Such an address issue.
The longer the delay. the greater the
embarrassment to the party. There is no
third-termer who does not feel heartened
by this press announcement on authority
and who will not become the more diligent
in the cause. He considers that the PreSl-
dent is at least wavering, and that the
thing to do is to press on and force him
ov r the line. Delegate hunting has be-
gun. and no time should be lost.
Meanwhile there are booms of very de-
cided merit, all more or less handicapped
by this state of things. Republicanism.
in it's best and most progressive estate, is
represented in every one of them. In
what essential party particular is either
Mr.. Fairbanks, Judge Taft, Mr.. Foraker,
Mr.. Cannon or Gov. Hughes lacking?
Which of them would fail as President to
defend the principles of sound money,
protection. expansion and anti-predatory
monopoly? Not one. Ali are as sound as
a gold dollar in everything tl-at relates to
the obligations and traditions of the
party. Any of them would make safe
and satisfactory President.
1t is asserted that Mr. Roosevelt's work
must be carried forward. Well, of course
But has Mr.. Roosevelt carried forward
Mr.. McKinleys work? The last thing to
which Mr.. Mckinley pledged himself was
tariff revision, and we are all fully justi-
fled in the belief that had he lived the
Dingley schedules would long since have
received attention. But at the end of
six years after Mr.. McKiH.ey's death not
thing has been done, nor is anything
possible during the present admnistra-
tion. Call you that carrying out the Nc
klnley policies?
What the Presidents idea may be in
am this business is not easily determined

chance that any person who was in the

Is always present. The mineral gives

The Goldfeld Strike,

Inasmuch as the governor of Nevada
notified the President that a state of
dangerous disorder prevailed at Gold
field, which it was beyond his power to
subdue, and asked for the dispatch of
federal troops to the scene to restore
peace, no other course was open to the
Chief Executive but to respond with a
detail of national forces, assuming the
truth of the governors repres antations
The organization of an expedition of ma
tional troops, therefore, follows the lines
of law and order. 1t is to be hoped that
the movement will result in the prompt
suppression of all violence and that the
striking miners will be speedily convinced
of the folly of attempting to defy the
laws of the United States.
The outbreak at Goldfeld, as far as it
has been explained, is of character to
deprive the miners of public sympathy
save in those circles where all such dis
turbances are hailed with delight, re-
CARELESS of right or wrong. 1t is al
legged that Haywood, recently acquitted
at Boise, Idaho, of completely in the
murder of Gov. Steunenburg, has lately
been active in the Nevada mining regions,
melting the men to strike. The latest
exploit of this nature was the advice
given by him, 1t is said, TO the miners
to refuse to accept checks on the banks
offered in payment of wages during the
extreme currency stringency which Is
just now passing over the western states.
Although these checks were perfectly
good and involved their takers In no loss
of wages, their tender was utilized az an
excuse to strike, and the disorder which
Gov. Sparks now reports has followed.
1t will be in the last degree deplora BILE
if, through stubbornness on the part of
the miners or unwise management on the
part of the authorities, the Nevada strike
should lead to a situation similar to that
which prevailed In the Occur d'Alene re-
gions some years ago. and in Colorado at
a later period. In this civilized country
these spectacles of armed men defying
the law, of large territories placed und ar
martial law, of industries totally sus-
pended because of Inadequate protection
to life and property, of the reign of what
is no less than anarchy for long periods
have become SO frequent as to cause
apprehension lest the vitality Of the law
has been seriously Slapped.
If the workingman has just grievance
he has his pacific recourse. If he under
takes to force his adjustments by the
use of arms he invites punishment. The
law cannot discriminate between classes
of violators. When gangs Of men steal
the property of mine owners. destroy ma
chinery and kill employees, it is time that
the full power of government be invoked
to check them. 1t remains to be seen
whether prompt action and temperate
firmness in Nevada will avail to prevent
the development of Revolutionary condi-
tions.

Death in the Mines.

When solitary miner is immured In
the dark caverns of the earth and his
.eIlowdeivers in the subterranean depth
are iaboring like beavers to secure his re-
lease, the country waits with almost
GREATNESS interest for the outcome. But
when a great ca.amity overwhelms hun
dreds, the shock to the public is SO great
that the facts do not seem to be real;
the mind is slow to grasp the catastro-
phe in is full tent. 1t is thus with the
awful explosion in the mines of the Con-
soiidat.on Coal Company that has de-
stroyed hundreds-possibly as many as a
