ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS
SEA OR RAIL-?

the Editor OF the Evening Star:
We're there more people killed by
water or by rail last year? E ].
IF you mean deaths in disasters TO
vessels, the number for 1907 was 57f.
This does not include, of course, the
lives lost on or from vessels where no
material damage was suffered by the
vessel. The number of deaths result
ing from the operation of u United
States railways in 1907 was slightly
more than 1000. The final statistics
will probably not appear before next
month. If you mean to include besides
deaths due to disasters drowning acct
dents of all kinds, the number will ap-
proximate more closely than the above
figures covering the fatalities on rail
roads. The special bulletin on NOR
tally in the United States published
by the Bureau of the Census in 1906
gives the deaths for a period of five
years due to drowning as 1896, as
against %, 1893 killed on or by railroads.
This. of course. Is only a partial report
for the United States, for the figures
were obtained merely from the regis
tratioa area.-Ed.1

THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY.

The presidential election of 1908 nov forms me OF the pages of the history
of the asst Mr.. Bryans campaign was a splendid mi from a spectacuia
iewpoin He sought the coveted goal with his usual vigor and eloquence.
Practically al the national leaders of Democracy were with him. Every effort
was exerted to gain votes in his behalf especially in the East, and these efforts
toward the close of the campaign, appeared so fruitful of result that the tide
of public approval in the Judgment of most Democratic leaders seemed to be
setting in the direction of Democratic as@ndenoy. The result of the election
show that Democratic hopes and forecasts were basedu pom surface indications.
They had failed to reckon with the strong undercurrent that vas sweeping
iresiSiblyt to a choice most decisive and a decision that, in the case of Mr..
BRYAN. was intended to b final. Mr.. Bryan drew his W platform, he selected
his n running mate, he vas unhampered in the. choice of his managers and
Yeti his defeatw "a overwhelming He may contemplate today three defeats in
ascending degrees of decsveness. Mr. Bryan is now without ground for lust
complaint. He may rightly caimt that he has a host of friends and supporters
in the nation, but the conviction must have been brought home to hm hat the
majority of the people are unwilling ITO accept him Is their President.
Many Of the States delegations, that Of New Jersey among the number be-
1evedt that it vas unwhe to dominate Mr. Bryan for a third time. They saw
opportunity for Democratic victory under a different leadership. The result has
justified their Judgment but it has leftth he party hatereda and PROSTATE. he
situation today portrays he passing of Mr. Bryan as a leader. Heg goes from
he forefront to a private position in the Democracy, and that party awaits
another standard-bearer. 1t is essential to the wel-bemg # our country nat
there should be two parties 1t is equally essential If the Democratic party
survive, that 1T should return to old mornings and great traditions. The
Republican party is always we'll organized. Being in power, its large patronage
enable it to maintain its effectiveness. even under create difficulties The Demo-
party, on the other hand, is Ill prepared when 1T enters intoth heat of
battle. and thu contest is practically over before the party organization is per-
fected. If the Democratic party is to prevail in a future election, organization.
underc competent leadership must be accomplished. and to reach this result the
party nus turn to nat secuon of h country which las always remained loyal
to democracy, namely the South. Il the leaders Q" the Southern Democracy
would undertake hist task; If hey would formulate a plan for h rehabilitation
of their party. without delay and, IN the lines of its cardinal principles. main
tain at Ill times a thorough party organization, the Democratic party Of the
country will e prepared md aligned for battle beforet tn boom of tn first gun

A. A. F.
1.-THE custom has long been known in
England, Scotland and other countries.
The precise period Of its ~origination Is
unknown. AS to it's nearing, there is
a difference of opinion, sorttc authorities
claiming that the throwing of the shoe
represents an assault, and refers to
the ancient custom Of carrying off the
bride by force or violence, while others
look upon 1t as a relic of the Old laws

sTImber Owner organize.

One of the most important econom-
lie movements ofthe day about which
the general public has yet learned
little Is. the concerted action of own
ers Sof tim Der in different parts of
the country in organizing associa-
tions to protect their holdings from
fire. In the Pacific Northwest. the
Washington Forest Fire Association
has Just elected officers at Seattle and
begun work for the year with 3 ,0O0,-
600 acres under It's care. The
plans include system of patrol by
rangers resembling the work done
by the United States Forest Service
in guarding against and extnguishing
fires.
Organizations OF similar Kind and
for a like purpose are at work in
Oregon and Idaho. In the latter
State, a portion. of the expense is
borne by taxation and paid from the
State treasury. A western railroad
company which holds large tracts of
timber has taken steps TO guard its
piUpS4t5 AEVln AIGg anu uuEluS LuG
short .time that its plans have been
in operation, It has met with most
encouraging success.
Similar work is being done on the
other side of the continent. Forest
owners in Maine have gone to work
in the same systematic way to control
tn forests great enemy fire. Like
organizations are found in other
parts of the country, showing how
fully it Is now realized that protec-
ton against fire is Of the greatest
Importance.
tits safe to say that fires in this
country have destroyed more timber
than lumbermen have cut. When
timber was abundant, the waste pass
ed almost unnoticed, but now that a
scarcity is at hand and an actual
wood famine threatens in the near
future, the owners OF forest lands are
waking up and taking action to save
what is left.

TAFT and Presidency.

The present campaign for the Re-
publican nomination for president is
in large measure duplication Of the
Mckinley campaign of twelve years
ago. Then despite the clamor for
favorite sons. the irresistible wave
Of personal popularity for Mckinley
swept all else aside, and the conven-
ton merely ratified nomination the
people had declard for months prev
lous.
So, too. Secretary Taft need have
little fear of political intrigues. The
man behind the gun-the elector-in
city, town and country-has decided
in his own mind that the big war sec
rotary must succeed to the presi-
dency. That the man who has prov
en- himself superior to any and every
task assigned him, isrright material
for the highest executive office.
The worlds history of every day is
read by all, and so man who is a
national figure, his name soon be-
comes household word. Secretary
Taft has been big contributor in
the worlds events the past few years.
The prestige he enjoys oyer-shadows
all other candidates.
With this, combine and unsIliled
character and unfaltering courage. No
nation need fear such leadership.
