calamity ever reported. and although
the direct responsibility of the captain
OF the ship is proclaimed, he was
not responsible for the disaster. AS
deftly stated in an Eastern contempor'
AIRY, that sort of conclusion "leads no.
whore And when Lord Mcrsey states
that "other skilled mon would have
done the same in the same position,
we are at a loss TO understand what he
considers 10 be the duty of the cap
tain of ship, and in what manner he
would expect the public TO view the
responsibility which he definitely
places upon Captain Smith in this case
without holding him accountable in that
responsibility, for the neglec, of repeat
Cd warnings of danger, which neglect
directly led TO the disaster.
Much was expected from this British
Board of Trade inquiry over which Lord
Mersey presided, but the outcome is de-
cidedly disappointing; and VIC may be
pardoned for saying that the report of
our own Senate Committee upon its in.

sumably skilled report of Lord Mersoy.

FEDERAL BUNCH TREMoRs

The Federal bunch organ cannot dis.

In this connection it speaks of "pre.

bound to say that we do not know of
any predatory interests in Utah that
can compare with the predatory inter.

The figures for July, 1912, show a
considerable excess over the average for
the seven months Of the present year,
and a decided gain over those of 1910.
As compared with last year. the seven
months gain of the present year is
very pronounced. and it can fairly be
held TO be Just gauge. not only of
ihe actual prosperity of the country, but
of the optimistic feeling for the future
that generally prevails.
