THE WIRELESS OPERATORS.

When the many suggestions for I2g- iBlatiOn to avert ocean disasters, like the loss of the Titanic, are being made the testimony before the senate inves- tigaticl ,ccIImittee shows that atteu- ton snoJ'i be given to regulations for the wireless operator on ocean and coasdrg steamships. In two instances, in the testimony it is shown that an operator should be on duty at all times and that his first duty should be to answer calls to the ship. Operator Bride testified that he was too busy with his accounts to answer the call 10 the Titanic from the Californian, and that very call, it is believed, was the warning against the iceberg which the Titanic struck. Too busy with other things seems to fit in general the condition of things on the Titanic. for the warning of ice from the bow watch went by unheeded by the officer on the bridge.
 The long hours which the operators are obliged to put in on some of the ships was also brought out by the tes- timony, showing that in that line of work, as well as with railroad men, bad accidents are likely to follow the loss of sleep. The operator on a steamer within 45 miles of the Titanic had gone to bed exhausted only a few minutes before the Titanic's "C. Q. D. signal was sent out. Had he been re- lieved, the loss of life in the great ocean tragedy would have been greatly lessened. One man is not expected to run a telegraph office night and day on land, and there is less reason to expect him to do it on the sea. with the increased dangers to be avoided. The use to which the wireless is put in sending information from one vessel 10 another in the crossing of the At lantic is surprising, and the operators s pay little better than farmhand's.

ILLINOIS ENDORSES TAFT PLAT
 FORM.

It is a noticeable fact that the state convention in Illinois, while endorsing Roosevelt, also endorsed the Taft ad- ministration and the Taft platform. This is a situation which was hardly expected from that state, but it indi- cates that as far as progression is con cerned they are satisfied with it, and their opposition is simply personal. In fact the campaign which Roosevelt has conducted has been a personal one. He has set up as the most prom inent blanks in his platform, judicial recalls. and l. Under that, by his cleo tion, the country would completely surrender itself to him, and it Is noted in the attitude of Illinois that they did not indorse judicial recall in standing by the Colonel. The T" indirectly caught them strong in the middle west and Pennsylvania. and the hypnotic power had its effect when he talked of his past and his promises How they can favor Roosevelt on the Taft plat form is hardly understandable.
 As the delegations now stand O. Taft and Roosevelt as to those in- structed or known to favor either ca,
 didate, Taft is well in the lead. He has 3S1 delegates, with Roosevelt backed by FOL The president needs but 159 delegates to give him the nom ination, and there is nothing which can prevent it, from the present out look. Roosevelt men are making every effort and have now Tesorted to the underhand method of tampering with the pledged delegates for Taft. This is evidence that the Roosevelt campaign is run on the principle to win, regard less of the cost financially or morally.

NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.

Converting at Washington today will be representatives from boards of trade chambers of commerce and bus iness mems associations throughout the country interested in the organ ization of a national board of trade It was on the initiative of President Taft that the department of commerce and labor forwarded the invitations to the G.000 organizations. It is the pur- pose of the president in his plan. to leave the organization of the board and he development of its plan to the rep resentatives of the commercial organ izstious. In his statement, the presi- dent says that the essential principles are that it shall be broadly representa- tive of the whole country's commer- cial interests and in perfecting the organization those in control should be responsive to the will of the ma iority of interests
 The suggestion for such an organiz- suon is offered by other countries. as Germany alone runs an office in New Y forE city where thirty clerks are em- p.oyed, at cost of S150 GOO yearly. to assist the German manufacturers in keeping in touch with business and extending their trade This country shows an abnormal production of goods in contrast with American consump- tion; that is, the\ countrys demands have not kept pace with the manufac- tured output so that the extension of foreign trade is the outlet which it is desired tO develop and in thiz deyeI- opment a national board of trade should give valuable assistance, intelH- gently and impartially.

THE PRESIDENTS CAMPAIGN.

In the political contest the honors were about even last week, Taft get ting Connecticut, Delaware and Ha- waii and the control of the Iowa state delegation, while Roosevelt finished the week by getting Nebraska and Oregon, both of which states had been figured as likely to go for him. The state conventions will soon be over and in several important states the contests are to be bitterly fought So aggres- sive has become the Roosevelt cam paign and the unwarranted assault on the Taft administration that the presi- dent has found it necessary to get into the game himself and will make a hurried trip to Massachusetts on We'd nesday. This is an unusual thing and may be said to be in violation of the White house tradition, but it is justifi- able in view of the situation, where, unless such a step is taken, the pres ident would be said to admit the Roosevelt claims. Massac chusetts is planning a state wide campaign pre- ceding the primaries, and it is up to President Taft to put through the ropes the unfounded claims of the ex-president. That he will do it with in the dignity of his office and free from the personalities which have characterized the opposition. is the be- lief of the supporters of the president. He will, no doubt, confine himself to the administration and policies, as on those the issue hinges.
 In maintaining the dignity of the office, the president has again shown the attitude which the greatest office on earth calls for in the minds of the American people, and it is quite in contrast with the level to which his opponent in a party campaign has de- scended. Others have contested the campaign of presidents but they never set forth their differences from rear platforms in a score of states to break the unwritten law that no president shall have third term.
