REC0RD-MAKING TRAGEDY.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: At last II
seems TO be realized that safety is needed
more than sensational records.
New York World: II has required the
needless sacrifice Of 1900 lives in the
wreck of the finest steamship ever con-
structed to demonstrate that there must
be q complete revision Of the British and
American regulations for the protection
OF travellers by sea. II is a tremendous
price to pay for expert prejudice and Off
cial stagnation.
Baltimore American: The public is
blamed for the Titanic disaster in its
desire to make quick time. But 1t is
only fair TO travellers to recall that they
do not have appreciative knowledge Of
the dangers OF quick voyages by certain
routes. else they would prefer more time
taken and corresponding assurance OF
safety. The public Is q convenient scape-
goat, but it would be hard to prove all
the charges laid to its account.
Washington Star: The governments
under whose flags the liners travel might
well confer in the hope OF finding a
way to check the tendency toward record
breaking ocean racing that is manifested
by certain navigation companies. Surely
the Titanic horror proves that 1t is little
short Of criminal to drive ship at high
speed through waters that are known to
be filled with Ice, Who Will be held to
account for this defiance OF the laws OF
sense and safety?
Philadelphia Record: 1t is doubtful II
any other steamer ever carried more peo-
pie who were widely known than the
Titanic. Some were noted for great
wealth. and the diamonds engulfed would
constitute . kings ransom; others were
noted for work in literature or phllan-
thropy. or commerce or public affairs. or
science and art. Death Is said to love a
shining mark, and II probably never
struck 80 many shining marks at one
blov as when it guided this great steamer
against an iceberg.

Mexican View of Intervention.

Receipt of the full text Of the mes.
sage read by President Madero to the
Mexican congress at the opening Of
it's session the first OF this month
gives US the Mexican view Of Amer
lean Intervention. the necessity for
which, it ia needless to say. Is vigor-
ously secuted. This is what Presi-
dent Madero says upon this subject:
The armed agitation that exists In
some parts Of the republic has given
rise TO rumors as to the possibility OF
Intervention In Mexico by the United
States. These rumors. fomented in the
United States by certain interruptions
journals, have not sufficed to occasion
differences between the two govern
ments. nor has the Washington govern
ment allowed itself to be Influenced by
the ignoble propaganda. The great and
respectable American dailies. the most
prominent American statesmen. the
ablest American thinkers. as well a. all
Americans having legitimate interests in
Mexico. know well that the word Inter
vention' is only an euphemism for war,
seeing that the Mexican people, what
ever political defects may characterize
or be attributed TO them. prize the indie
pendence and honor OF their country
more than life itself The government
Of the United States has been the first,
by its own acts, to discourage the In
sensate idea OF intervention and has
given repeated proofs to the government
Of Mexico Of Its high spirit Of justice
and It's sincere respect for the rights OF
this country as a sovereign nation. A
patent proof OF this spirit is 10 be found
In the recent action Of the American con-
gress, in empowering the president TO
prevent American territory serving as a
source OF supply OF arms and ammunl.
ton TO individuals who rise In rebellion
against the governments Of the other
nations Of this continent. and the con-
sequent proclamation OF the president OF
the United States. prohibiting armed
rebels in Mexico being supplied with war
material in the nelghboring republic.
The president OF the American union has
been aetuated in this Instance. as stated
in an official note addressed to our for
eign relations department. by his earnest
desire that the Mexican nation may at an
early. date enjoy once more the blessings
OF peace and prosperity.
II Is to be noted that President
Madero ascrlbes the demand for In
teryeatiop to certain INSCRIPTIONS
journals. and rightly infers that the
president, and indeed all thoughtful
Americans, regard Intervention as
only last resort. At the same time,
our friends across the Mexican border
should realize the urgency Of pre-
serving order and maintaining the
OF their own government
We in this country are no more eager
for Intervention than is the Mexican
president. and still We would not
shirk our duty to intervene II II be-
came plain that there was no other
way TO restore the blessings of
peace and prosperity"

Hopeful Signs.

Railroad gross earnings expanded
in the first week Of April 81 pei
cent. The country's foreign export
trade was the largest for March In
the history of that month and ex-
ceeded that for March, 1911, by more
than $43,000,000. The demand for
investment securities continues to
improve and was so strong a week or
two ago as to encourage the city of
New York to offer for sale s65. 000,-
900 in new bonds.
These are a few of the hopeful
signs for the year, but only a few.
There are plenty of others in the
Industrial and agricultural worlds.
The business sky tends rapidly to
clear and the outlook for a year OF
Improvement is regarded by the most
conservative judges as very fair. in
deed. In addition to these indica-
tions OF prosperity, the country is
confronted with excellent crop con-
dltlons in NOSE sections. To be sure,
some Of the wheat states are showing
up with less than normal prospects.
but there is a chance for improve
ment even in places here and, on the
other hand, the wheat conditions in
most Of the leading states are very
good.
The demand for labor for construc-
ton work is expected to be strong.
The railroads running west from Chi
cago are said to be contemplating
the employment of 100000 men.
which is an answer to some Of the
cries OF all laborers and
no harvest.

HEROIC MUSICIANS.

Baltimore American: Not the least
heroic Of the heroes OF the Titanic dis
aster were the members of the band who
went down playing to the last in an
effort to allay the fears OF the panic
stricken passengers and help TO inspire
thsfn with hope. They died at their posts
Of duty as truly as any soldier on the
battlefield or as the captain on the
bridge Of his sinking ship.
New York Tribune: Except in the case
OF the English ship Birkenhead, when the
soldiers on board stood at parade after
the women and children had been taken
into the boats and the band played the
national air as the ship went down. We
do not recall a parallel 10 the coduct of
the musicians on board the Titanic, who,
as all accounts agree. ceased not their
inspiring ministrations until they were
engulfed by the waves.
Washington Post; Out Of the maze of
conflicting reports which shroud the last
moments OF the dying Titanic in q somber
pail which in all likelihood will never be
lifted, there stands forth one inspiring
TACT upon which all those who witnessed
the curtain fall over the scene Of death
seem 10 be In agreement, and this is that
the heroic band of the doomed ship met
their fate bravely. with music upon their
lips. There is sublimity about these men
grouped around their leader in the shat
tered salon OF the sinking liner. with all
hope for themselves abandoned. playing
for the encouragement of passengers and
crew the gay tunes to which so lately
women In silks and diamonds had been
dancing, and at the end swinging into
the strains Of that comforting hymn
which knows in its universal appeal no
distinction OF station. birth or nationality.
