The New Fourth.

Steadily the country y freeing itself
from the bondage of a barbaric tradition.
Whereas few years ago the annual toll
OF Independence day deaths and disable
ments ran high into the hundreds. now.
thanks TO the so-called safe and sane
regulations adopted and enforced in many
cities, the days cost is reduced TO a
point so low that there Is ground for hone
that In a short time there will be no
more sacrifices to the Moloch OF perverted
patriotism.
Yesterday for the third time Washing
ton celebrated the Fourth under the new
order Today IL has nothing to regret
No one was killed and only one acciden,
occurred to cause human hurt and that
trifiing injury to a lad who was watch
Ing a pyrotechnic display at night. There
were no fires due to the use of explosives.
The city jewellers were not Jared and
worried and deafened by nerve-rackins
detonations or choked by acrid fumes.
Yet pleasure was given to a great multi
tude by an organized general observance
OF the day and the occasion was sppro-
priately marked In a manner far more
likely TO inculcate a spirit Of respect for
the anniversary than though 1t had been
Washington would not return to the
old style OF Celebration for any con-
sideration. Nor probably would Cieve-

example and prohibited the sale and use
OF dangerous or peace-disturbing FIRE
works. Nor would those other cities that
have gone part OF the way toward free
dom from the destructive custom and
materially restricted the use OF explosives
on the Fourth yield any Of their gains In
safety and sanity. Rather are they likely
TO proceed to ths same point - that
which Washington attained at almost q
single step.

Water Sacrifices.

While great gains in the saving of life
have been made by the prohibition of
dangerous fireworks In many cities. moth
ing has been done to check the losses in
the water. Nor can anything be done
short Of the institution of swimming les
sons In the public schools and the es-
Establishment of public baths and swim
ming pools. free for all and so attractive
that they will be used by large numbers.
Yesterday In the vicinity Of New York
no less than seventeen persons were
drowned in the course of various ex-
cursion enterprises. some from oyerturn-
ing boats. some from indiscreet ventures
into depths and currents beyond the
powers OF the bathers. From other cities
come reports Of losses in such measure
that in all likelihood when the record
Of the day Is cast up 1t will be found
that fully one hundred lives were lost
in the water. Practically every one of
these accidents may be set down as
avoidable. There is foolhardy venturing
In almost all instances. Swimmers try
to do things that are beyond their en-
durance or their skin and sink before
help can reachA them Pleasure seekers

Germany in Morocco.

Emperor William has for some years
been playing a shrewd game with rel
erence to Morocco. He has on seVerai
occasions successfully complicated the
situation there to prevent the dominance
of French and Spanish interests In that
part Of the world. He kept the Algeciras
conference from accomplishing the re-
suits which the government OF Paris
hoped to achieve. That he has been IN
strumsntal IN mixing up the quarrels OF
the sultanate has been generally accept
ed. Heretofore, however. there has been
no direct move toward territorial occu-
patton until the stationing OF cruiser
Off the port OF Agadir. Now 1t Is recog-
nized that Germany is in the Moroccan
game in earnest. and future developments
are being anxiously watched In those
quarters where it has been feared that
Morocco ms naces the peace of Europe
There Is good reason to believe that
Germany Is acting in this matter with the
full approval of Spain. This fact makes
the French situation difficult and del
icate Heretofore France and Spain have
been virtual partners in the management
Of the Moroccan affairs, with England
In sincere approval Of the program. Now
1t would seem as though France stood
alone, with the exception of England
moral support, condition which does
not make fer peace of mind in Paris.
Almost any other nation would have
gone into Morocco as Germany has vir-
tually done in Agadir without arousing
French resentment to the point that is
manifested now in Paris. The spectacle
of the Iradi i )nal enemy, the holder of
Alsace and Lorraine, interfering in Mo-
rocco. where France has undoubtedly
been planning a comprehensive series of
movements, Is calculated to arouse bit
terness Yet it is hardly to be believed
that war will result. Indeed, assurance
of at least temporary truce is given In
the statement, emanating from Paris,
that France for the present will not re-
ply to the German note announcing the
dispatch Of wsrship to -Agadr
Already Europe Is contemplating the
possibility of Moroccan partition between
Spain, France and Germany. One prophet
goes so far as to suggest that Spain
will take the northern coast. FRANCE the
middle section and Germany the south
ern. where German citizens have for
some time been acquiring property. 1t
is undeniable that Germany has a stake
in Morocco in these private holdings. the
owners of which have recently been try
! ing to buy more land. The long and
short of the matter is that whereas at
the time of the kaiser's first interference
in Moroccan affairs he had no more than
vague political warrant for demanding
admission into the game Of Moroccan adj
justment, he now has a tangible. definite
excuse, which he Is evidently disposed
to urge defiantly. 1t will be surprising
in the last degree If France accepts his
latest challenge by protesting against the
naval demonstration at Agadir. and pre-
pares to make its protest effective.

Railroads Aid Farmers.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The railroad managers have come to
realize that in aiding the develop
ment Of the country along their lines
they are helping themselves. In no
field save that of colonization have
better results been secured than IN
instructing the farmers In improved
methods Of agriculture and stock-rais-
ing and urging upon them the impor-
lance of good roads. Every good
highway is feeder to the railroads.
and better farms mean larger produc-
ton and increased traffic. During the
past year the railroads have operated
fifty-two special trains, manned by
experts in farming and roadbuliding
and carrying modern equipment. Some
OF these are in operation most Of the
year The farmers institute special
list, John Hamilton. reports that 379,-
200 persons have attended the lectures
and demonstrations given by those
special-train schools, and the good ef-
feet has been felt in almost every

Indiana for Taft.

At indianapolis yesterday the President
met both conservatives and progress

He broke bread with both-with the FOR

latter at the Marion Club. At the latter
club support was pledged him for next

In the Senate. but his warmest friends
did not suggest him for the White House.
He himself made no attack on Mr. Taft
In his campaign, and after losing at the
polls did not hold Mr.. Taft responsible
HIS relations with the President re-
manned cordial and they still remain So
In conservative circles there was
criticism for aohie because Mr.. Taft
and Mr. Reveridge did not fall out. Some
OF tie leaders of that faction seemed to
feel hat Mr. Taft should withdraw his
favor entirely from the defeated senator
Rut his feeling did not go to the extent
OF inaugurating an anti-Taft campaign

Capital Shy.
From the Springfield Republican.

Sales of stock on the New York
exchange during the past half-year
amounted to 54,O00,0OO shares. which Is
only about one-half the volume of trans
actions during the same time In the
three previous years, and much less than
half that of the same months in 1907
1906 and 1905 To find as duh period
for speculation we must go back to 1904
Sales of bonds, however. were exception
ally large. There was thus plenty OF
capital seeking solid or debt investment
and very little capital disposed to specu-
late or assume the risks of ownership in
vestment. 1t has been time of ex-
ceptional. even extraordinary, tmidity
on the part of capital.

Regarding New York Senatorial
Situation,

NEW YORK, March 3.-A statement
from Governor John A. Dix on the SEN
atoral situation In which he says that
events have demonstrated the ilnpos-
sibilty of his (Sheehan's) election, and
advising the Democratic members of the
legislature to Immediately proceed In the
Joint assembly to ballot as your con-
science and the will OF your constituents
may dictate, was received and made
public here tonight.
The statement is addressed 10 the DEM
ocraIic members OF the Legislature and In
il the governor tells of his unchanged
attitude. that he will not interfere with
the Legislature in the, choice of a sena-
tor. and how he has steadily maintained
that pose.
But" lie continues. "the present un-
precedented and divided conditions of the
party's councils In regard to the choice
of a senator are preventing the exercise
OF the constitutional duty which rests
upon rhe legislature"
He adds that he therefore now feels
that he may properly advise the legisla-
ture 10 end the deadlock.
