LIMITED GOLD STORAGE.

II seems evident that the new cold
storage law in this state, which is just
going into effect. will confer on the pub
lie some Of the practical benefits which
it's advocates promised and which the
storage warehouse interests derided Mt
the time Of its passage. bulletin issued
by the State Department of Health re-
counts some Of these. The law prohibits
the storage Of foodstuffs for q period
longer than ten months. The first ten
months period ended April Is. The Health
Department announces that great quaint
ties of butter. poultry and fish have been
forced OH the market. incidentally,
much Of this had been In storage for
about two years. and was promptly
seized by local health officers as unfit for
human consumption.
If this stuff had been fed out to the
markets gradually, it is likely that in
small quantities it might have escaped
the vigilance Of the inspectors. no matter
how old or unfit for food It was. With
the warehouses emptied each ten months
the public will he pretty thoroughly
guarded from the effects Of the greed of
dealers in holding fOodstuffs for high
market prices, regardless Of deteriora.
ton in the quality Of the goods from
overlopg storage. What effect this new
law is having on food prices Is less clear
Some dealers think that II will cause a
slight reduction as business conditions
adjust themselves to it. Certainly IT will
tend 10 prevent any long continued cor
nering' Of the market for many food
Stuffs. as lis operation will automaical-
ly release supplies Of stored goods at
short intervals. That of itself is counted
on TO prevent any top-notcb prices in
future such az recent gambling IN food
supplies has produced.

INTERNATIONAL ASPECTS or THE
INQUEST

Cable dispatches tell us that some per-
aons IN Great Britain are asking why
there is any American inquest in the
case Of the Titanic and what business
the American government has to inquire
into the loss OF British ship on the
high seas, OBTAINING British subjects and
recurring them to testify In the case.
Questions to that effect have been asked
in Parliament some of them obviously
based upon gross transformation. as, for
example, those which suggest that Brit
fish subjects are being imprisoned. OPP
pressed and treated unfairly and dishon-
orably. These have been answered by
the British government with prudence
and discretion and with a manifestation
Of warranted confidence in the govern
ment of the United States. and II IS to
be hoped that the answers thus given
will prove satisfactory. Certainly II
might well be wished that all other
questions concerning this catastrophe
could be as easily and satisfactorily an
swered.
The Titanic inquest is being held here
because, as one Of the members of Par
lament suggested yesterday. many Amer
lean citizens lost their lives in the disas-
ter, and interest I'm IL is as great In
America as in England. To that we may
sdd that II is chiefly American patronage
that maintains the transatlantic steam
ship lines and makes them profitable.

FITTING MEMORIALS.

The proposal that the lighthouse
tower on the new Seamen's Institute in
this city shall be made q memorial OF
the persons lost on the Titanic has
much TO commend it and is likely to be
generally regarded with favor. 1t Is
most earnestly to he hoped, however,
that there will be certain other me-
MORALS Of that disaster and its victims
Of permanent and peculiarly practical
and impressive kind.
Ii seems certain that if there had
been a sufficient supply Of lifebOats on
the Titanic all lives might have been
saved Now. as n result Of that tragic
object lesson. we are told that all pas
senger ships are 10 he equipped with
enough boats to carry all on board.
That will he a fitting and practical me-
mortal
1t has been testified that the lookout
man on the Titanic was not provided
with telescope glasses Of any kind, and
the expert opinion has been expressed
that If he had been thus equipped lie
might have discovered the iceberg long
before he was able TO do SO with I'M
aided vision. II is probable that every
such Waterman will hereafter be pro-
vided with a good binocular glass. and
that also will be useful memorial
II was an awful thing TO sacrifice so
many human lives to negligence and
overconfdence. It would, II possible,
be still more dscreditable 10 let the
appalling lesson pass without learning
anything from II. and without such me-
MORALS Of il rs will hest safeguard MS
against its repetition.
