WASHING HUMAN LIFE.

As a protection to human life on the high sea more extensive provisions than ever before are being made since the Titanic disaster The loss of the 1900 souls which in few hours were swept into eternity was too awful a lesson to let 1t go by unheeded. It was the suddenness of it all which appealed, for as every year goes by the waste of human life goes on in very much greater numbers. but cov
 ering a larger period less is thought of it. The interstate commerce com mission has compiled figures showing that steam railroads alone, during last year killed 10, 223 persons in the United States, while the injured numbered 153,696, There were, however, only SIS passengers killed. the others being employees 1922 and trespassers 6,592
 This Is, of course, a large number of deaths and shows that e5 per cent. of them result from tFespassing on the railroad property. Many more tres
 passers than employees and passengers were killed. denoting that the careless habit of walking the railroad tracks is the greatest cause of railroad fla talities. It can hardly be urged that better highways would keep people off the tracks for they are attracted there by double purpose. They are mostly those going from one point to an
 other and the railroads invariably of fer the shortest route, while there is the added chance for jumping a freight. Though the railroads are re sponsible for many of the deaths and injured persons, yet there rests upon the public the responsibility for tres passing on the dangerous path. and the number grows larger each year.

COMMITTEE WILL BE BUSY.

Far from peace conference will be the session of the republican national committee at Chicago. It looks as if 1t would have plenty to dc both before and during the convention, no sHaiI part of which will be the settling of the dispute over contested delegates. By the end of this month the papers in all the contests must be before the committee. According to Senator Dixon the delegates instructed for Taft whose seats will be contested are: Alabama. 20j Arkansas, ss District of Columbia, 2; Florida, 12; Georgia 26, indiana, i2; Kentucky. 1sl Louisiana, 70, Michigan. 6 Missouri, 2i South Carolina, A. Tennessee, 14, Virginia. 2a. These total 164 and have been carried in contested list by the Roosevelt manager to injure the president. detract from his strength and influence coming conventions, They have no merit, the delegations being unquesuonably Taft delegations and there is no doubt they will be seated though 1t will mean fight.
 Thus far no selection for the tenn porary and permanent chairmen of the convention has been made No names have been urged except that of Elihu Root, though he would hardly be the man of snap and quick decision which the convention needs. Few men cap able of holding the office have been named as delegates, though ex-Vice President Fairbanks is among the In diana delegation, The results of the next two weeks will put the committee in a position to decide these matters with certainty. but men of national prominence are naturally looked for as the presiding officers.

wRsckNc FOREIGN TRADE.

Foreign trade is the outlet for the excess of manufactured goods which this country produces. Already it is large and growing in certain countries. but the opportunity for further exten- sion should not be blighted. The action taken by the house at Washington in withholding an appropriation from the bureau of trade relations is going to mean serious handicap in their work If it passes congress. This legislation would nullify the work of three years in a direction which the country IS bound 10 look. In considering this reaetionary move which is promoted by economy the statement of Acting Secretary of State Huntington Wilson should not be overlooked when he says that 'it win absolutely put an end to dollar diplomacy which in the three years t has been maintained has brought to the United States in trade sl.0o0 for every dollar spent by the state department" The saving of the S59,000 which will be effected in salaries should not be thought of for a minute in the face of the destruction of business it will cause At such d time as this when there has just been organized a national board of trade 10 endeavor to keep pace with foreign countries fin supplying information for business opportunities. it would seem inc height of folly to cut off the bene- fit of the government service in that very direction after an existence which shows it's value and which will become more valuable each year.
