Government Greatly Interested.

Washington. DC. Especially -
Government officials In Washington
have manifested deep concern in the
ramming of the Republic and the
thrilling manner in which her Off
GERS. crew and passengers were saw
ed, and in the summoning of other
ocean liners by wireless telegraphy.
This wireless rescue will stand out
as the most remarkable that has ever
occurred in the annals of Transact
lantic navigation. If the value and
utility of wireless had never before
been demonstrated, 1t is pointed out
that this alone shows that 1t is In
dispensable in connection with ocean
navigation. Since the Introduction
of the first system, about a decade
ago, the progress in its development
has been so rapid that all the i'm
portant merchant and naval ships of
the world are now equipped with
wireless cabins. and every month wit
nesses the establishment of some new
coast wireless station.

72 hours after the crash between the
ocean liners Republic and Florida.
of Nantucket Shoals, which eventu-
ally sent the one to the bottom and
reduced the other to state of stag
gering helplessness. the survivors of
this thrilling deep-sea tragedy have
found haven at last.
At nightfall Monday 1000 passen-
gers from the two vessels were safe
in this port, brought here by the
Baltic, while nearing it were the res
cued officers and crew of the Re-
public safe on board the derelict de-
stroyer Seneca, to which they were
transferred.
With the important work of rescue
thus practically finished, attention
began to be turned to endeavors to
learn definitely if possible how the
two big ocean travellers had come to
crash into each other and whether
their fateful meeting was as unavoid-
able as at first appeared. On the
Republics side little was to be learn
ed. Her passengers told graphic
tales of the crash, of the excitement
on board, of the bravery of the off,
GERS, the good behavior Of the crew
and the efficient work of rescue.
That all had not gone so well with
the Florida and that possibly on her
bridge might be sought a contribut-
ing cause Of the disaster was irdicat-

Put Wheel The Wrong Way.
There are two versions of what
happened ON the bridge of the Flori-
da when the Republic doomed up in
front of her through the morning
fog. Little could be learned from
Captain Rospini when he was seen
on board his vessel on her arrival
in the harbor.
According to others who had been
on board the Florida and were
brought into port by the Baltic, how
ever, something went wrong with the
the Florida's steering wheel when the
collision was imminent. One story had
1t that Quartermaster had the wheel
when the commander yelled for it
to be jammed to starboard. He nut
1t to port instead and the liners
crashed into each other.
Another version of the story is
that the man dropped his wheel In
panic when danger impended. Both
versions agree in saying that the
commander felled the quartermaster
with an iron spike, following what
he must have considered the sea-
mans recreancy. An injured quar-
termaster from the Florida was
brought to port on the Baltic. He
stoutly asserted that he was not at
the wheel when the accident occur

kidnapping stirs the emotions Of
the world more than any other crime.
One reason is that 1t is happily infre-
quent When case like that in Penn,
sylvania comes before newspaper read

other true stories of kidnapping
American parents have less to fear
from kidnapers than from firecrack-
ers or measles, or a hundred other
dangers which do not keep us awake

the nature, Of the crime that renders
1t comparatively insignificant. 1t can
be more horrible than murder, and
those who suffer receive universal
sympathy.

1t begins to look as If some of the
magnates who have acquired the con-
troll Of most Of our theatrical affairs

points in their syndicate system and
seeking to escape threatened disaster
by a reversion, in part at least, to
older and sounder methods. OF two
facts, patent to all observers, they, as
shrewd business men of their kind,
must be fully aware. They must know
that all actors and actresses of the

cally disappeared without leaving any
successors to take their places, and
that there is no certain source to

The trouble with psychotheraphy in
churches, according to the Rev. DR..
Leighton Parks, is that 1t identifies
health with salvation. On the other
hand, 1t might be remarked that the
trouble with the churches where psy-

happiness of their members this side
the grave. Health and salvation are
not necessarily inconsistent.

The forestry service is dealing with
a vast domain as the property in com

working up schemes for the general
good. OF three circulars which it sent
out recently the longest is descrip.
tion of the policy that is pursued TO.
ward stockmen. There is large de.
mand for grazing privileges on the
national forests, and the policy of the
government Is to make fair distribu.
tion Of permits. How 1t is carried out
is illustrated by Wyoming case. Six
years ago single sheep owner was
grazing $4,000 head of sheep or AZ
per cent of the total number on the
forest. AS new settlers entered the
country they derived the benefit of a
pro rata system and to-day the mum,
ber of individuals and firms grazing
stock has largely increased and the
percentage of sheep belonging to the
man referred to has been reduced
from AZ to 4. "One Of the basic prin.
ciples in handling grazing matters on
the national forests Is that 1t Is bet
ter to help a small man make living
than a big man a profit" Another
bulletin reveals the service working
In cooperation with the schools in
teaching forestry and related subjects,

courses of study for graded and high

experiments that are to be made by

wood, red oak and yellow poplar trees
will be planted near the forest rang
ers' cabins, "and If these do well
larger plantations on a commercial
scale will soon be established on
larger areas" Can anyone doubt the
value of this care and activity to the
country? The pity is that the begin.

For the lessons in conservation were
much needed, and after such an ex.
perience' as we have had they should
certainly be taken to heart now
Theories Of government have nothing
to do with the case, though there is a
disposition in some quarters to CON-
plain of a present tendency toward
paternalism. What we are striving
for is an effective method of saving
the timber and encouraging It's
growth, and the effective method will
be adopted, no matter what the "ism"
may be. The country is to be con.
graduated on the intelligence and de.
votion that are being shown in the
forestry service and on the good work
1t is accomplishing as 1t faces one
problem after another.
