Make the Streets Safe!

Maj. Sylvester's orders to the precinct
captains to enforce the vehicle regula-
lions strictly to lessen the number of
automobile accidents should be thorough
ly respected, in the interest of the public

less motoring in Washington, much un-

streets. The policemen should be just as
ef1lcient and alert in the enforcement of
the regulations against them as against
the motorists. The streets should be
made safe.
In the enforcement of the superintend-

men should use discretion. 1t is folly to
arrest a motorist who is letting his ma
chine out on a straight, broad, otherwise
unoccupied stretch of street, while some
other chauffeur is cutting dangerously
around a corner in the crowded part of
town unmoIested. Rules are often alb
surdly interpreted and enforced, to the
end OF breeding contempt for them and
arousiES a feeling of resentment against
the law
The whole point Of these official limita-
tons upon the freedom of the motorists
and other street users is to cause them
to be careful and considerable They
should not cut their chances down to the
fine point of inches in a street where the

Canada and the Strike.
From the Indianapolis News.


In 1907 the Dominion government passed
an industrial disputes investigation act"
which made unlawful any lockout by en-
plOyers or any strike by employees prior
to reference of the dispute to board
of Cancellation and investigation. Penal
ties were provided both as to employers
and employees in the shape of fines for
each day of such overt difference that
had noe first been referred in an effort
to prevent it. The purpose of the act was
to avert just what has happened in this
Grand Trunk strike. 1t was meant that
the disputants should first submit their
case to an impartial board before coming
to a rupture. But the Dominion govern
ment made no effort to enforce this law
So this law-most admirable in it's pur-
pose to prevent hasty action and avert
consequences such as this strike has en-
tailed and as all great strikes entail
seems to have broken down monument
ly. The strikers treated it with contempt
and the authorities did nothing to uphold
1t. If law like this one breaks down
the effect is discouraging. If two parties
to = dispute will not first listen to an at
tempt to harmonize it and reach essential
justice before proceeding to extremities
1t does not speak highly for our progress

Across the map, from shore to shore,
Well greet the voice of cheer anew.

Though champions in their warlike glee
With words their foemen rise to smite,

And hearts be joyous as of yore,

Congress- and the Tariff.

The Ohio State Journal, in some obser-
vations on the subject. declares that the
tariff "has never been honestly revised in
the public interest" and never will be
while Congress is allowed the sole say
So" This is the view of all who favor
q tariff commission, and would invest
such a tribunal with the power to fix
tariff rates and certify them to Congress
for ratification.
Congress could not if it would divest
itself Of the "sole say-so in this bust
ness. 1t is charged under the Constitu-
ton with levying taxes, and that duty Is
the most important it executes. 1t is re-
sponsible to the people for the money

public purposes. II able to command the
necessary votes, it can overrule the Presi-
dent. as to either a tariff or an appro-
priation bill, and should do so whenever
confident of being right. Congress
should have sand in proportion to its
authority.
But this is not to say that Congress
needs no light as to trade conditions and
statistics. On the contrary. the matter
Of tariff making is always so important
the fullest light possible should be OBJ
tained. Statistics should be gathered by
competent and responsible men in all
possible quarters at home and abroad,
and when approved applied
But such statistics can never be more

will always be subject to examination,
first by the President and, In case Of his
Endorsement, then by Congress. Even

Congress Is not competent to deal with
the tariff question:: that. as a rule. it is
made up of lawyers and log-rolling poll
ticians with small if any knowledge Of

made as to the railroad, the conservation
and the currency problems. What does

take them out Of the hands of Congress

A Falling Stock Market.

The stock market is in the throes of
another serious spasm of liquidation, yes
terday, after four preceding days of con-
tinuOuS selling, about 100000 shares
changing hands, at prices far below the
opening rates and In many cases carrying
the securities down to low levels. 1t is
obvious that the exchange is in slump,
due to many causes. Chief of these is
the apprehension of investors and specu-
lators that lower prices will prevail,
sentiment which needs no specific cause
in itself, but is induced by what may be
termed atmospheric conditions. Reports
Of bad crops, which are always to be ex-
pected during the growing season, have
tended to shake confidence.
These movements are self-accelerating,
often progressing even to the panic point
without tangible occasion. In this case
there is a known definite cause for un-
easiness in the professional trading cir
Giles. A short time ago the cashier of
the Russo-Chinese Bank agency in New
York absconded. having taken and dis
posed of securities belonging to the bank
valued at more than 100000 Most of
these securities have been put into cir
culation In the street, and their pur-
chasers have been rendered uneasy lest
they may be liable to proceedings. 1t is
openly asserted that the immediate pos
SCISSORS of these stocks and bonds, how
ever innocently they may have bought
them, will lose them later. Previous to
formal publication of the list there
was movement to sell in order to get rid
of every possible remnant of these faint
ed" goods 1t is impossible to throw
100000 upon even so great a market as
Wall street without disturbing values,
and thus the Russo-Chinese Bank theft
contributed it's large share of the liquida-
ton.
The belief on the part of investors that
stocks which they had bought in the
previous panic-making slump would go
lower led to further selling. The calling
of banks and brokers for larger margins,
an inevitable consequence of a material
drop In the stock prices. facilitated the
movement. Thus from crime and from
speculative tendencies came the chief
factors of the decline, which cannot be
regarded as reflective of actually bad bust
ness conditions. On the contrary stimuli
taneously with the heavy drop of yester-
day came the report of the United States
Steel Corporation, the largest of the
'1ndustrials." for the quarter ending June
80. showing marked increase in earnings
over the corresponding quarter of 1909.
In every particular the figures reported
showed prosperity. Belief in continuation
OF the good times, which are reflected as
surely In these industrial reports as in
any other manner, is indicated by the
decision of the directors Of the steel cor
poration henceforth to issue monthly re-
ports of the untitled orders" regarded
as certain barometer of business condi-
tons In view of these circumstances
1t is possible to observe the spasmodic
movements of the stock list without
anxiety.

Senator FRYE.

The prompt denial of the report that

This report may have grown out OF
the fact that at the recent session Mr..

For years he was a conspicuous figure
in all discussions of important matters
when not presiding over the Senate's de-

orators in the chamber. and easily one of
the best informed of all our public serv-

relied upon at all times when the fighting
was warmest.
Nor did his labors end on the floor OF

on foreign relations he performed great
work behind committee doors unobserved

he named Monte Christie. There he en-

magnificence and sometimes with orr
entail mystery. His purse was open to
all who sought 1t. and the day came
when he experienced Timon's fate
without acquiring Timon's disposition.
He could not become a mlsanthrope,
though his fortune disappeared almost
as suddenly as It came, and then he
learned the ingratitude Of men. His
last days were passed not In poverty.
but In narrow circumstances. He left
Paris In the fall of 1870 just as the
German army was closing In to be-
siege 1t and when France was feeling
its deepest woe. To the last he pre-
served his gnyety and youthful spirit.
