"POOLLNG" FOR NAFETI.

The charge is glibly made that the
Titanic disaster is the direct outcome OF
the public craze for speed and luxury.
The travelling public. and particularly
the American travelling public, we are
told. requires the transatlantic liners to
follow the short northern route, despite
its dangers. in order 10 make the pas
sage in the shortest possible time, and
for the same reason requires the run
ming Of ships at top speed. Moreover,
it's demands for deck room, for unOb-
structed vision and for luxurious equip
burden ships with n larger number OF
lifebOats. That is why ships have ten
mis- courts and swimming pools instead
Of lifeboats and RATS, and why they go
faring across the short northern route
in iceberg season. The people prefer Il
short and dangerous route 10 one which
is 10 per cent longer and 100 per cent
safer In brief they prefer speed TO
safety and so il is all their fault that i
Titanic goes TO the bottom with fifteen
logical and uncOnvincing.
Ii is certain that those who cross the
Atlantic must do so in such vessels as
the companies provide and by such
routes as the companies adopt If Il
company elects to send its vessels in
iceberg time by the comparatively safe
southern route. the public cannot com
pel it 10 do otherwise. OF course. they
could give their patronage to some other
line. which takes risks on the northern
route, and perhaps some would do So.
But suppose that there were no such
other line. since all had agreed TO pur-
sue the safer route? If a company de-
cided to equip its ships with full COM
plements of boats and RATS and other
safety assuring devices, even at the cost
of dispensing with some luxuries, what
could the public do? Transfer their
patronage to some other line, which gave
the luxuries at the expense of safety?
But suppose that there were no such
other line, since all had adopted the
same policy of safety?
1t appears, then, that it is not the de-
mand of the public but rather the sup
ply of the shipping companies that is re-
sponsible for the conditions which are
deplored. Some company for the sake of
advertisement sacrifices safety for speed,
offering a temptation TO one of the well
known foibles of a part of the public,
and forthwith all the rest do likewise
In order, as they think. to compete with
It and to restrain their patrons from
deserting them. Unhappily, there are
always enough persons TO give to such
rivalry an air of public couDtenance and
favor. and so the process goes on. 1t
is not q response TO q general public de-
mand so much as 1t Is an Offering OF

KIND WORDs FOR MURPHY.

The Hon. Charles Francis Murphy gets
