To the Rescue Of strap-Haneers.

The English government Is going to tackle
the strap-hanginG nuisance. The job Is q
big one. but the members of the liberal ad-
ministration are determined to accomplish
it IL possible They have lately been
flooded with complaints from citizens to the
effect that there are not enough cars on the
Underground and suburban railroads and
that the congestion is unbearable. bill
is to be introduced when parliament reas-
sembies compelling the companies to run
more and longer trains and imposing PEN
alties for overcrowding.
j. The strap-hangtng nuisance Is universal
In this country. The average American car
rider, during the hours of greatest traffic.
has only the faintest hope of ever getting a
seat and is glad to get strap. He is par
ticulariy pleased when he is permitted a
margin of few inches of room beyond
his own girth. His normal state is one OF
close conjunction with his fellow-riders. and
the contact is often distinctly unpleasant.
Here in Washington strap-hanging has
heeome the normal state of the home-going

Train-Wrecking.

Several attempts have recently been made
by unknown people to wreck express trains
on the Pennsylvania railroad near Pitts
burg. Fortunately, none of these has sue
ceeded beyond the point of causing slight
damage to the track and rolling stock, but
there has been only the slightest margin of
safety between the passengers and death in
every instance. So frequent have these
criminal efforts become that the officials of
the company are convinced that an organ
ICED attack upon the traffic Is under way,
and that unless the men engaged in II are
caught they will persist until a dis lste- OF
FIRST magnitude has been caused. They
have therefore offered large reward for
the detection OF the wreckers and have en-
gagged large number of track guards who
have orders to shoot to kill when they see
any person interfering with the track ar
rangements.
Train-wrecking is so desperate an enter
prise that it should be classed with murder
in the first degree The other day a bill
was introduced in the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture amending the present law on the sub
ject by extending the term of imprison-
ment. 1t is amazing to find that the COM
monwealth has not long ago recognized the
extreme gravity of this crime by classifying
1t as a capital orense. The man who puts
tie or a rock on a track. OF who draws a
spike or otherwise tries to cause q wreck
Is plotting against human life. Whether
he Is actuated by desire for revenge
ngainst corporation or by the hope Of
plumber. he is a potential murderer
II Is TO be hoped that the wretches who
are engaged In this criminal work In Penn
sylvania will be caught and punished to the
limit OF the law. In these days OF fast rail-
reading and heavy travel there Is danger
enough from carelessness In the cab or at
the telegraph key and from unavoidable ac-
cidents without exposing the lives Of pas
sengers to the possibility of death through
the agency of ghouls and vengeance seek
ers. The railroad company can we'll az
ford to spend very large sum of money IN
the effort to detect these scoundre,s

forty usually carry eighty people. and often
one hundred. Thanks to our present system
Of fare collection the conductor goes plow-
ing through the human mass at intervals
and messes things up in q thoroughly demo-
cratic manner. A person with tender feet
often finds walking preferable. The pas
sengers who retain more than an ordinary
degree Of prehensile power through inherf-
lance from arboreal ancestors are enabled
to hold their own against their weaker and
more modern brethren.
1t will be interesting to observe whether
the British government actually succeeds In
Its campaign against the strap-hanging evil.
II 1t should manage to abate this nuisance
and reduce transportation to humane and
decent conditions. possibly the American
Congress will follow suit. 1t has jurisdic-
ton only over the District OF Columbia. but
that suffaces for the purposes Of the people
OF Washington. and maybe the example set
by so exalted a legislative body might be
followed by other powers. The emancipa
ton Of American street car riders from the
thralldom of the strap would be worthy Of
commemoration by future generations as an
historic event of vast Importance.

Cuba and Annexation.

Mr. Andrew ID. White the DISTINGUISHED
educator and statesman. takes a very grave
view OF the Cuban problem. He opposes
the annexation of the island to the United
States, on the score that such n step would
mean the erection of Cuba iIto a state
OF the Union, and that such a state would
be dominated by negro influence. That.
he contends, would in every way be unde-
sirable for us. and increase the race diff
cultics with which We already are heavily
charged.
Mr.. White then says:
Il am in favor of setting up the Cuban
government not only this time. but again
and again. seventy times If necessary.
sooner than making it a partner of our
national system. Years ago. n comnis-
sioner to Santo Domingo. when Gen. Grant
and others thought of anneXinG the island.
/ learned the utter incompetency of the
mixed races in the equatorial Spanish re-
public to govern themselves. Everything l
then and have learned since regarding
such races has increased my feeling of
opposition to taking them into political
partnership.
This would describe Uncle Sam as being
between the devil and the deep sea. If
annexation means statehood for Cuba and
statehood for Cuba means disaster for us.
and independence for Cuba means failure,
capable of seif-government. then are We
ALL Americans and Cubans alike. In the
middle of a very bad fix Why set up again
and again government for people whom
Mr.. White believes incompetent to manage
their own affairs? Why try experiment
seventy times when we should know each
time that defeat was certain to follow?
Such a course we are reasonably certain
10 II he
interests involved. For each failure would
add to the sum of the embarrassments and
presently a situation would exist which
would defy everything but force and We
should be obliged to apply the force. There
must be law and order in Cuba, and If the
Cubans are unable to meet that require
ment we must. No European power, no
matter the size of the investments of its
subjects in the island, would be permitted
to interfere.
Would annexation necessarily mean state
hood for Cuba? 1t is to be doubted. The
statehood proposition was first suggested
in slavery days. when the extension Of
that institution north or west was resisted.
In their difficulty the slave-owners thought
of Cuba, and imagined that in that direc-
ton was hope. But, as we now things.
the annexation of twenty Cubas would not
have saved slavery. which was doomed by
the rising tide of sentiment all over the
world.
The Cubans are likely to have another
chance at managing their political affairs,
but probably not more. Whatever the out
side worlds suspicious were nine years ago
when first took charge OF the island. 1t
is satisfied today that our intentions were
just and friendly, and it knows the cir
cumstances under which we have returned.
We wish the Cubans better luck in their
second attempt; but If that falls we shall
return and then for the purpose of ar
ranging for permanent and complete con-
troll. though probably not for statehood.

The Industrial Outlook.

August Belmont's pessimstic warning, ut
tered at Mr.. Carnegie's peace party in
New York the other night has evoked much
adverse criticism from men who are in a
position to judge of the future as clearly as
MIR. Belmont himself. Judge Gilbert H.
Gary chairman OF the United States Steel
Corporation board. for example. when in
terVlewed on the subject Of the national pros
poets. declared yesterday that there ia no
sign whatever that the industries of the
country are In danger, or that hard times
are ahead Judge Gary estimates the stu
alton from the fact that the steel corpora
ton DOCKS are filled with orders that are
sufhcient to keep the mills running far into
the autumn These orders, he says, are not
susceptible of cancellation. Therefore, I'M
less the contracting firms or corporations
fail the deliveries will be made This
means that there will be no reduction of
force in the steel industry at least. 1t is
possible, of course. that the railroads which
have been contemplating. improvements
will not be able to raise the funds to finance
their betterments. and will not give the
large orders for steel that have been an
ticipated, but the effect of such a curtail-
ment would not be felt until late in the
year.
one OF the surest ways of bringing about
a setback In the tide of prosperity Is for
men OF prominence in the financial world to
Keep harpfng on the dangers that are
ahead Such talk, whether founded upon
probability or not, is calculated to make
men nervous and apprehensive: to cause
them to curtail expenses and investments
This process, once well under way, carries
10 disastrous extent unless checked by
the interpretation Of some stupendous force.
A covering" movement is always democrat
izng.
From the west come two styles of crop
reports. One is based upon the actual con-
ditions as they exist today, and is favor
able to reassuring degree. The other is
based upon the fear that the recent chilly
spell, following the unusual heat Of late
March. must be unwholesome. The pes
smiStic crop forecast is inspired, also, by a
feeling that it Is too much to expect nature
to repeat her wonderful performance of
last season. when records were broken
If the west measures up to average in
the matter of crops. and there are no
serious financial failures. depression of
values and consequent tendency toward
liquidation and curtallment must be at
tributed to artificial causes, to malevolent
factors working upon the conservatism of
investors. This is a dangerous game, and
If played reckiessly by men who stand to
make on the fall Of prices it is apt to pro-
duce results from which the country win
be slow in recovering. Now Is the time,
therefore. for those who believe in the pres
ent and future soundness Of industrial con-
ditions, who have faith in the national
prosperity. and who are capable of correct
ly interpreting the signs of the times to
come forth and proclaim their confidence
to offset the croakings of the calamity
prophets.

The Cable to Panama.

The members of Speaker Cannon's party
returned yesterday from the isthmus high
ly enthusiastic over the work that has been
done on the canal and the present pros
pect OF the early completion of the task
The Speaker himself was especially elated
ut the outlook. He talked with his char
acteristic directness. and gave evidence that
his recent expression. We'll dig the ditch
or bust" was sincere statement Of his
optimism regarding the enterprise. One
sentence which he uttered yesterday is
characteristic Of the man and possibly ex-
Pressive of an important truth. He said:
IF I were the chief engineer on the
canal I'm afraid l should be tempted 10
follow the example OF Dewey and cut the
cable" -.
MI Cannon doubtless meant by this to
Indicate his belief that there has been alto
gether too much talk about the canal work
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-04-08

too much criticism Of methods at long
range, too much interference. There has
no doubt been an unwise amount of long
distance criticism of the details of this
WORK. Much Of It has been malevolent. but
it must be believed that most of it has been
inspired by wholesome desire to see the
dirt fly" 1t appears to be difficult for some
people to realize that we took over with
this job several difficult problems that of
sanitation being perhaps the hardest to
solve We had to clear away a great deal
of rubbish. to adjust our plans to a new
concept of the canal scheme and to organ
lie a practical working force Of engineers
and laborers. There has been some impa-
thence here at home with the apparent lack
Of progress. We are accustomed to get
ting quick results, and probably the i'm
preston prevails quite honestly in some
quarters that time and money have been
wasted on the canal strip because the re-
ports do not show q larger tonnage Of ex-
cavstion.
on the canal work should react ur,favorably
upon the men on the ground. They are
probably more sensitive to criticism than
things here. They have few sources Of di-
factor of their lives They cannot forget it
for even an hour. When the cable brings
word of skepticism In the states, or dis
satisfaction, the engineers and their assist
ants are certain to feel discouraged. A man
with sense Of grievance cannot concen-
trate his energies upon the work in hand.
His mind is distracted to the subject of
what others are saying about him. and
framing his excuses and explanations.
or course, the Speaker was talking hyper
bolcally. He often uses large figures of
speech IN order to state his case plainly.
The cable cannot be cut, and the men who
go down to Panama to work for Uncle Sam
must make UP their minds before they start
that they are booked for a certain amount
of criticism. no matter how we'll they do
their work. If they discount this line of
before they reach the isthmus
they will do better work and keep their
courage up to the sticking paint

Odell.

Mr.. Roosevelts luck continues. The
latest man to attack him is Benjamin
Odell, who, appropriately enough, follows
In the wake of E. H. Hartman. 1t Is not
certain that all the bosses who are down
are down and out. Some Of them, though
in no other particular like Truth. will rise
again. And 1t Is not impossible that Mr..
Odell may be Of the number. But this Is
too early a day for resurrection. The his
tory Of the bosses and their performances
is "a yet too fresh In the public mind to
make 1t possible for any OF them now to
arise and WELD the scepter again. No
surer means could be devised Of strengthen
ing the President In case OF a waning pop
ularity than the marshaling Of the Odells
all over the country and melting them to
criticism of his personality and to threats
OF his deposition.

Dirty Streets and Disease.
From the Brooklyn Eagle

1t is time that the snarl of red tape and
politics which keeps our streets nlths
should be cut and the work OF cleaning
them be begun in earnest. All physicians
and many citizens have evidence that sick
ness is caused by the foul condition of the
streets The New York Academy of Medi-
cine has taken hold Of the matter. One OF
the doctors who talked at meeting called
to consider this source OF danger to the
general health gave list of the diseases
caused by the inhalation of street dust.
These include tuberculosis. that white plague
more devastating than war; pneumonia, in
fuenza, bronchitis. tonsilitis. quinsy, nasal
catarrh and middle ear disease The cpl
demic of influenza this spring, when the
melting snow left the accumulated dirt OF
a month or two drying on the pavements,
has crippled the working force of most
large offices and factories. and has invaded
thousands OF homes, The contribution to
this widely prevailing sickness made by the
dirty streets Is too we'll established to be
doubted.
