occupied block or goes at too high q speed
into a zone Of possible danger.
Recently some Of the railroads in this
country have been taking heed of the
dangers incident to high speeding and
especially fast trains in the interest OF
greater safety. but this does not guar
antee against such happenings as that at
South Norwalk. 1t is not as rule the
regular speed of a train that causes
trouble. but the exceptional speed main
tanned for notwithstanding purposes,
and this sort of speed is likely to be de.
veloped at any time, whatever may be the
proclaimed running rate of the train. The
automatic stop or cutoff which has been
so repeatedly urged as possible method
Of preventing accidents due to entrance
upon occupied blocks Of track may be ap-
plicable as readily to the case or an eX-
cessively speeding locomotive. But right
here is the point Of railroad opposition,
the reason why that device in some form
is not adopted voluntarily by the rail-
road companies. They do not want their
running time subject to any checks. They
do not want to make it impossible for
engineers to speed their trains to catch
up with schedules or to take chances
with the block system If necessary, and
until they are brought squarely to a real
ization that it is bad business to continue
to permit wrecks, by neglecting this
obvious and assured method of preven-
ton, they will probably go on taking
chances. The sure way is for the courts
to assess railroad companies in properly
heavy damages in all cases of death and
disablement, SO as to put fast running
and reckless operation definitely at dis
count as Improbable

High Speed and Wreck.

The engineer is dead! No one living can
be held accountable for the rail disaster
at South NOrwalk, Conn, which cost the
lives of seven persons and badly injured
many more. 1t is the old story of reck-
less running. train behind time and an
endeavor to catch up with the schedule.
Estimates of the speed at which the train
was running vary widely, but ii is plain
that it was going tremendously fast and
that il took the cross-over switch below
the South Norwalk station with a leap that
threw the engine off the track and ditch
ed the cars with horrible result.
But though the engineer is dead. and
thus the one who was Immediately ac-
countab bic for the excessive speed cannot
be brought to book is there not a respon-
sibility beyond him, resting upon those
who are charged with the management
of the road? They know that engineers
will speed their trains when behind
schedule. Indeed, they expect them to
do so. The engineer who does not speed
up so as to make up much time as pos
hible is rated lower in the company's esti-
nation than the one who takes chances.
Certain formal orders may be proclaimed
that appear to disapprove of fast running.
but il is nevertheless generally under
stood that an engineer who cannot make
up time is giving poor service to his en-
ployers. II he brings his train in on
time he is smart and is valued accord
ingly. If he bitches his train in an ef-
fort to catch the schedule he is reckless,
and if he survives the blame is placed
upon him, and If he is dead attention is
called TO tie fact that he has paid for his
disobedience of orders with his life. But
In neither case are the passengers who
have been sacrificed restored to being or
made whole. and no matter how often
this happens it seems Impossible to bring
the railroad companies to the point Of
establishing the only sure safeguard
against recklessness and disobedience of
orders on the part of engineers. by in

Martin Glynn and His Miracle.

1.-The high cost of living will cease to
be political issue after the 4th of next
March. President Wilson and a demo
cratic Congress will attend to that. y
Thus saith Martin Glynn, who presided
over the temporary proceedings of the
Syracuse convention.
A large order. A very large order.
Far too large an order for any states
man or party to fill. Pity that a man
standing in a high place, If but for a
moment. should have issued it.
How is this miracle to be worked? By
revising the tariff downward. The Payne
law is responsible for all our woes. and
when that has been repealed, and new
law put in it's place-a law drafted on the
proposition that protection is unconstitu-
tional and should be dropped as soon as
possible-the dinner pail can be filled and
our backs covered at half the present
figures.
Who believes it? Does 41r. Glynn him.
self believe it? Or is he talking simply
for campaign purposes?
Twenty years ago, after'the bloody riot
at Homestead, democratic spellbinders
shrieked anathemas at the protective tar
if Let it be done away with. Home
stead had been built up under protection,
and see what protection had brought
Arrogance and heartlessness to million
aire beneficiaries, and bloody death to
many of their employees.
Never was their falser or baser appeal
made to angry men, and but for their
anger it would have fallen fiat But or
ganized labor was angry, and responded
by helping to condemn protection at the
polls. and to bring in party pledged to
tariff for revenue only.
What happened? The democratic party
lection from its tariff scheme, but, in its
juggle with tariff revision. did disturb
business to that extent capital grew
frightened, industry relaxed, mills were
closed, and hundreds of thousands of men
were turned from wage-earners into
tramps. The roads were choked with
competent and worthy men seeking jobs,
but there were no jobs to be had.
The curse of this country-greater than
an iIl-arranged tariff, oppressive trusts,
or the laws delay-is the tall and mis-
leading criticisms and promises of elo-
quent and attractive stump orators. In
America the stump is a throne, and the
man thoroughly at home On it a king.
He has 1t in mis- power to influence great
numbers of voters: and when he speaks
lightly, and makes promises beyond the
ability of party redemption, he commits
what is nothing less than crime against
the public. He adds TO existing unrest,
and shakes the faith Of uninformed men
in the institutions of the country.

An 0utworn Epithet.
I'm the Wall Street Journal

From the Wall Street Journal
Time was when the most dreadful insult
which could be passed was the lie. 1t
ended the discussion; there was no room
for argument; all that was { was the
resort to primitive violence never far
under the surface Of our conventional re-
spectability.
If Mr.. Roosevelt is remembered for
nothing else, he will go down to history
as the American public man who removed
the stigma from the word liar" Its an
plication has ceased to have any mean
ing, except that the person who uses the
term has run short of legitimate argu-
ments. No longer need any man incur
the charge of homicide in defense of his
veracity. The word which challenges 1t
is merely signal that the person who
"hurls' the epithet has lost his temper.

Mr.. Morgan as a Witness.

Contrasted with the ruffianly bearing
of Senator Dixon the day before, Pier
pont MOrgan's bearing as witness De-
fore the Senate investigating committee
yesterday left nothing in the way OF
frankness or politeness to be desired.
Answers to questions were prompt and
clear. and a disposition was shown to aid
the committee in its work. AIR. Morgan
may be recalled.
The republican campaign collectors
found Mr.. Morgan m willing mood in
1904 On their first call he shelled out
a round hundred thousand dollars, and
ON their second a round fifty thousand.
Explaining on the witness stand yester-
day. Mr.. Morgan declared that he gave
the money for the good of the country
and the business of the people," In other
words, he considered the republican poll
cies that year better than the democratic
policies.
This feeling had appeared strong in
business circles in 1896 when many men
OF large activities subscribed generously
to the Mckinley campaign fund. with
no thought of realizing individually on
their subscriptions except as the country
as a whole would profit by the triumph
of the gold standard. They believed that
Mr.. Bryans proposition if triumphant
would wreck public credit. And in 1900
they held the same opinion and took a
similar step.
So far as Mr.. Morgan was concerned
the nomination of Judge Parker under
certain Wall street influences In 1904 seems
not to have been reassuring. lie Still
pinned his faith and Entrusted his cam
pagn coin to the republicans. Maybe he
thought that as the bulk of Judge Par
kers support must come from the Bryan
ties, Bryanite influences would be felt at
the White House in case of Judge Par
kers election. And it was not bad rea-
sonng. Judge Parker had voted for Mr..
Bryan in 1896 and 1900, and was now
being supported by Mr. Bryan. Naturally
a long-headed financier like Mr.. Morgan
was apprehensive. Notwithstanding the
activities of men like August Belmont
and Thomas r. Ryan for the democratic
candidate.
In 1908 Mr. Morgan seems not to have felt
much disturbed. His campaign contribu-
ton that year was small-a mere drop
in the bucket for him. He saw, as other
men of his class did. that Mr. Taft had
a walkaway. and. putting up a. little
thirty thousand dollars. waited with COM
posture for polling day.
Mr.. Morgan was not interrOgated about
his feelings as to the present campaign.
He Is a republican. but made no cOntri-
button to any preconvention campaign
fund. If he earnestly desires the election
of Mr.. Taft. on the score of MIR. Wilson
close identification with present-day Bry-
anism. he did not take the committee
and the country into his confidence. But
ne answered all questions in way to
impress his hearers with his sincerity
and good faith.
