HOW THEY VIEW TT.

Relating to a performance which was detailed in the papers some days ago The Boston Globe says:
 Ethel Roosevelt took the throttle and ran an express train fifty miles in an hour. Had it been anybody but the Presidents daughter who did this, 1t would be possible to say that it was unlawful. endangering the lives of a trainload of people who hadn't done road-except pay their fares; minister ing to a thoughtless girls speed ma mia at the price of public safety. But recognizing that If Miss Roosevelt had been anybody else's daughter the thing would not. have happened at all. all that is really necessary Is for the tray. cling public to ask before taking train or boat. 'Is any of the Presidents family aboardT'
 Of the same incident The New Bed ford Standard says:
 United States is alleged to have been the engineer of 6 railroad train on q Southern railroad on Saturday. and that highly respected administration serts that '1t was due to the fact that her hand was on the throttle. that the train arrived six minutes ahead of time" On well managed railroads. TTGEluSnL u4ukHJCTS WOulu not D0 al lowed to put their hands on &he throt- tie. much less to bring in the train six minutes ahead of time. What makes the story look suspicious is that that no train on any railroad south of Mason and Dixon's line ever managed to get in anywhere near on time. and that accounts of reaching destina tions However that may be. passengers would feel safer if they were assured that schoolgirls were kept out of To- comotive cabs. On all railroads man. aged properly they would be.
 The Globe argues that the act was not lawful. which may be true, but if it was unlawful. what difference would that make? Was 1t not the daughter of. President Roosevelt to whom the safety of the train and the passengers was transferred? But even if the performance was not in violation of law it was none the less wrong. St. Paul told the Corinthians that many things were lawful for him which were not expedient. and the engineer of a railroad train might argue the same way, even though there were no laws to prohibit him from turning his job over to another.
 The Standard. 1t will be observed. Is but little less severe in It's criticism, but seems to doubt the correctness of the accounts. and one of It's reasons for doubt is almost amusing. It will be noted that 1t gives 1t as the unanimous evidence that mo train on any railroad South of Mason and Dixon's line ever managed to get in anywhere on time. "
 This assertion will be amusing to railroad men and to travellers down here, but why The Standard should have gone out of its way to misrep- resent this section Is not apparent. The statement amounts to the asser- ton that no passenger or other trains on any railroad in the South ever reaches it's destination on schedule time and that. as all know. is ridicu- lous. Trains in the South. as is the case everywhere else are sometimes delayed and fail to make their arrivals exactly as scheduled but to assert that all of them are always behind is so absurd and incorrect that we wonder

how even . New England newspaper could have given utterance to 1t.
 But leaving all that out of the dis cussion, 1t Is the actual fact which was reprehensibie. The duties of . railroad engineer are most exacting. and his responsibilities are. enormous. Even the most skilled engineer sonae- times makes a mistake which may bring ruin and death on those whose safety depends on the manner in which he performs his duty. what. then. might reasonably be apprehended if the management of the engine were turned over to . girl without either the training. the experience or the physi- cal strength to do the work safely7 Was the act not trifins with huinan Hfe7
 The fact that the young lady was the Presidents daughter is no pallia- tion or excuse. She had no more right to assume or accept that position than the daughter of c train hand would, and was perhaps no better fitted for 1t. The fact that the President himself does great many out of the way things. and often does things he has no right to do is no reason why the members of his family should have un- limited license to do whatever they wish, even to the extent of trifing with human life. In short, if the facts were as stated the criticisms we have stated are not too sevtre.

The theory of giving general pub licity to all campaign contributions may be a good one. but we predict that it will be difficult to carry out. There will be so many ways by which money can get into the campaign contribution box and no outsider know of 1t that such a law will be easily evaded. Still, some good might result from Q law of the kind if earnest efforts are made to carry out its provisions.

Heroes of the Railway Mall Service.

Heroes of the Railway Mall Service. Norfolk Virginia Pilot.
 The statistiees are not at hand to show the havoc annually wrought among the employees of the railway mail service by railroad accidents. But not a day passes without it's report of a derailment here or collision there, and not a report comes that does not chronicle the death or maiming of one or more of the Government employees who share with the locomotive en- gineer and fireman the extreme post of danger Yet for his protection the Government makes no provision. The probabilities of injury could be reduced to a minimum by the use of steel cars for travelling postal purposes. but those in authority have so far baked at the small outlay necessary to safe guard the lives of their faithful public servants. Why should a Congress so reckless of the safety of the Federal employes be so solicitus of the rights and privileges of other classes of labor? There seems to be care enough and money enough for all sorts of non essentials; why not spend little of both in putting up some sort of barrier between death and the men we hire 10 face it. They are soldiers in real sence, and it Is a duty to give them every possible shield against the dang CTS they must encounter.

 Over Nfwht. y

A few months ago the dispensers of poslam, the new. discovery for the cure of eczema, decided to allow the drug gists of the country to handle it. Pre- vious to that time it could only be ob- tatned direct from the laboratories. :. Since this change in the method of distribution. poslam has met with the most phenomenal success of anything introduced to the drug trade in the last 30 years. All leading druggists, in- oluding F. c. Fowler. in Mohteonaery are now carrying the special 5o-cent This great success is not surprising when it .s remembered that, in ecxerna cases, poslam stops the itching with first application. proceeds to heal i'm n1ediately. and cures chronic cases In d tsw wseks Tn minor skin troubles, herpes. blotches, rash. etc. results show after an overnight application. Ex- perfmental samples of poslarn are sent to anyone by nal free of charge, by the Emergency LAboratories, S2 West Twenty fifth Street New York City.
