afflicted with three and four cases.

He has exhibited keen discernment in

PROBE OF TRAIN
WRECK COMMENCES
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
McChord Making Federal
Investigation.

Westport. Conn. Oct. 6.-With the ar
rival here to-day from Washington Of
Interstate Commerce Commissioner Nc
Chord. began a sweeping Federal investi-
CATION of the wreck of the Boston-New
York Express. with its toll Of seven dead
and score injured. Fred Howard. Of
Springfield. Mass. the representative Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission in
this district. who arrived on the scene
late yesterday. was superseded to-day in
the Federal phase of the investigation
when Commissioner McChord took
charge.
In addition to these separate probes
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers will conduct an inquiry Of their own
in an attempt to refute the charge that
the dead engineer. George i. Clark. was
responsible for the wreck, in running at
an excessive speed in order to make up
lost time.
1t is charged that the New Haven
road disregarded the recommendations
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
following the inquiry into The wreck Of
the Federal Express at Bridgeport a
year ago. caused in a manner almost
exactly similar to the latest wrerk. II
is recalled that Coroner c. r. Wilson
following his inquest into the Briis"-
port wreck. found that the New HaN en-
road was criminally negligent in main
tanning a short crossover on fast ex-
press trunk line tracks No criminal
action was instituted, however. by the
prosecuting officials OF Bridgeport.
The eight injured a the Norwaik Hos
pital are all reported to be on the road
to recovery. but none will be able to
leave the hospital for several days.

How whistler Got Married.

Whistler was all his life a most sur
prising person. and his marriage was not
less startling than the other events In
his career. Henry Labouchere in Lon
don Truth. thus describes how It came
about.
Il believe that I am responsible Tor

win, the architech. She was a remark
ably pretty woman and very agreeable.
and both he and she were both thorough
Bohemians. was dining with them
and some others one evening at Earl S
Court They were obviously greatly at
tracted to each other. and in vague
sort Of way they thought Of marrying.
So / took the matter in hand to bring
things to q practical point. Jimmy 1

Certainly he replied. Mrs. Goodwin 1

Let Us Have Actual" Publicity.

The campaign fund investigation
shows the need of laws limiting the
amount of contributions for primary
election campaigns and enforcing pub
licity with regard to contributions to
funds for that purpose. Present pub
licity laws, where any exist, do not
serve to bring to light all the facts.
There are so many committees, na-
tional, State, and local, that their
finances are as tangled as those of a
corporation with subsidiaries. All this
fully bears out The Herald's conten-
ton, oft repeated, for the enactment
of a strict Federal. corrupt practices
act.
The committee conducting the inres-
tigation brought to light $4,000 which
Boss Finn, of Pittsburg. did not
feel called upon to make public And
again it discovered $4,000 contribu-
tions of Perkins, Munsey, and Hanna,
the main hackers of the Bull Moose,
which did not appear in the report OF
Treasurer Hooker" Chairman Dixon
had fund of $4,000. which was inde-
pendent of that in the treasurer's
hands. Whenever | was desperately
hard up | went back to Perkins," tes-
tilted Senator Dixon. Doubtless there
were others who had independent funds
and who went back to Perkins" to
have them replenished.
The public thus gets glimpse of a
system which. in the absence of strin-
gent regulation. lends itself to Jug
Cling of sums out of sight that is
worthy of frenzied finance. Let US
have some laws that will actually stop
making the nomination and election OF
President a millionaires' game.

The Bay State Vote.

1t Is an old saying IN Massachusetts
that the Democrats always carry the
State for President N September, and
this year is no exception to the rule
Gov. Foss was not slow in telling DR.
Wilson that he will have 10000 plurality
in the Bay State Real, dyed-in-the
wool Democrats even go as high as
10000. The capture of a State which
from the beginning of the Republican
party always has given the Republican
Presidential candidates pluralities, and
which for more than century has not
chosen Democratic electors, seems
easy" to the Wilson tabulators, who,
if their September figures are true, give
Gov. Wilson in Massachusetts, in No
vember 100000 votes. Therefore, it is
worth while to recall the exact figures
of the Democratic and Republican votes
for President in Massachusetts, for the
last twenty-four years.
Cleveland still holds the record with
I76.SI3 votes in 1892 The nearest ap-
proach to this was that of Alton B.
Parker in 1904, who obtained I65z46
Mr.. Bryan sank as low as Io5.7II. in
1896, and four years ago rose to I55.543
Always radical, Mr.. Bryan scared a
great many of the conservative New
England Democrats. who returned to
the fold when Mr. Parker led their
party. In 1908 the Democratic Presi-
dental vote in Massachusetts was less
than 1900 in excess of what it was
twenty years before.
The Republican vote. on the other
hand. rose from 1882. cast for Mr..
Harrison in 1888. to e65.oo6 for Mr..
Taft. In the interval it touched 49,
o,6 given to MIR. Mckinley at his first
candidacy. Mr.. Mckinley holds the
record for Massachusetts,. and yet his
vote, large as it was, was less than
1900 in excess of what President Taft
received four years ago. Mr.. Taft's
plurality was 1900 in excess of that
Roosevelt got in 1904.

Ponderous Personages
JENNY LIND
- GEORGE FITCH.
Auther 81 "At 0ssA OlA siwaaA."

Yesterday was the birthday Of Jenny
Lind. who was . famous singer sixty
years ago and 10 still remembered
something that has seldom happened to
great singers after they have died and
their press agents have folded up their
typewriters.
Jenny Lind was born in Stockholm.
Sweden. October s. 1870. and began to
sing almost Immediately. She was a
beautiful girl. with a voice which made
even loan sharks soft and sentimental
when they heard IL. and at thirty she
was the most famous singer In Europe.
About this time p. T. Barnum. having
tired Of elephants temporarily. decided
to educate America in music. and he i'm
ported Jenny Lind at vast expense. to
a great many flattering remarks about
the young lady in the newspapers. on
the billboards. on the sidewalks and
street cars and blank walls and church
steeples. and tree trunks and delivery
wagons and mountain sides and else
where. and as a result. she was met
at the dock by almost all Of New York
City. Her first concert was in Castle
Garden. and at its close she could have
been elected mayor. That she wasn't
has always continued to be one Of New
York's greatest misfortunes.
Jenny Lind afterward sang through
the entire country and became a great
favorite. but unfortunately she was too
ignorant Of modern methods to utilize
her popularity. She did not demand a
new contract with tripled prices and
overtime for encores. and she did not
refuse to come on the stage at night
until a purple carpet could be spread
through the wings. She did not insist
on special trains and individual hotels.
and she did not have Mysteries and re-
fuse to stir one step when anything
happened to the nineteen dogs. four IT,
gers and two pet snakes which she
didn't carry with her. She did not de-
clixo IN .inx nnleas all ofher sin1ers 1xere

Wages and Cost of Living.

Gov. Marshall, in his campaign
speeches, saddles the responsibility for
the present high prices for the neees-
saries of life on the protective tariff.
Others who have studied the subject
more deeply than the Democratic can
didate for Vice President think that
a variety of causes combine to that
end. The increased output of gold in
the last decade is held to be power
full factor Others see in the expan-
sion of industries a sufficient explana-
ton. Various commissions have gone
over the situation, and their investi-
cations have indicated that the tariff
has had very little to do with increas-
ing the cost of living. 1t would seem
that when we find articles of neces-
sity being quoted on a high level of
cost in the United States. France, and
Germany, we may deem that a world
wide movement is in progress i'll con-
sequence of some economic condition
most readily sensed by the most in
dustrious countries.
By examining the latest data Gov.
Marshall would learn that the importa-
tion of foodstuffs in crude condition, and
food animals free of duty, for the seven
months ended July, were of value
of SIIo.oooooo Foodstuffs, partly or
wholly manufactured, free of duty, sg-
gregate about 100000 The total OF
these two items is much in excess OF
what it was for the corresponding
period of 1911 ($&, ,ooo,ooo), and great.
er than 1910 (s62.ooo,ooo). Crude ma
terials. for use in manufacturing, i'm
ported in the last seven months, were
inventoried at $a84-ooo,ooo and on the
free list, which also carried more than
A6ooo,ooo for manufactures ready for
immediate consumption.
The cost-of-living issue is one that
must be studied, if We are to get any
solution of the problem or to develop
any policy with unbiased minds. Lay
ing it all to the trusts or to the tariff
explains nothing We are frequently
told that the price of beef in this coun-
try is kept up by large explorations Of
animals abroad. This cannot be the
case, for American cattle sent abroad
for the seven months ended July
were in value only about $4,000. as
against So,636,zSo in the corresponding
period of 1911, according to official
compilation.
The cost of production is a leading
factor of the selling price If We had
the rate of wages prevailing in Grea,
Britain We vould have a much lower
range of cost for the finished article
But we do not have the British range
of wages; We do not want it, and do
not care to advocate its establishment
in this country Gov. Marshall and
other Democratic orators sidestep this
issue, for they know that were they to
advocate a reduction in wages they
might postpone any possibility of their
party carrying any industrial section OF
the North.

Had she done all this. Jenny Lind
might have become notorious as well az
famous. and might have gotten $4,000
a week in vaudeville after she had quar-
relied with all the impresarios. Instead
she merely sang her way through Amer

Straus vs.. Sulzer.

The Democratic party of New York
at last has brought forth William Sui
ger as its candidate for governor. He
is not an unknown man. He has shown
rather unusual skill in keeping himself
in the limelight. In fact, he has been
characterized as "the incandesceni
statesman from the East Side" His
nomination introduces a problematical
factor into the political situation in his
State.
For the greater part of his maturer
years he has been in politics. Though
he will not be fifty until next March,
in Congress, and before that time in
the State Legislature, he has seen much
service. There has been some uncer-
tainty as to his nationality. but in 1900
when he was suggested for a place on
the national ticket with Bryan, it was
given out that he was "a German BY
Irish consent" That is, his father
came from Germany and his mother
from Ireland. A few years ago he
married girl of Jewish name and
presumably of Jewish blood. At all
events, as the East Side Congressman,
although not Jew, he represents more
Jews than there are in Palestine, and
his service in their behalf has appeared
to be very satisfactory to his constitu-
ents, his recent appeals for the abro-
CATION of the treaty with Russia, which
he claimed had not been maintained in
good faith, not being the least accept
able of his favors. This fact has
doubtless influenced the Tammany
eoatfo, IN making choice of Mr.. Sui
