Roosevelt the ambitious egotist, the
vould-be Caesar-that monstrous fig
ure of caricature drawn by enmity
and malice has been destroyed, never
to reappear. But we fancy the other
thought-that this is a "one-man
moyement"-still persists, and it is
upon this point that we purpose to
speak with somewhat personal en-
phasis.
With the narrow escape from the
tragedy fresh in mind we say that
Colonel Roosevelt was not the creator
of the Progressive movement, that he
is not the guarantor of Its permanency
nor his life necessary to it's ultimate
success.
The Progressive cause and the Pro
gressive party are at this time nil

! have made this suggestion over and
over again, and repeat it now in the
most emphatic way that / can, that
1t is shame and an outrage that the
criminal statutes of this land permit
the men who are really responsible
absolutely to escape from the penal
ties of the law and inflict penalties
and punishments upon those who are
simply acting under their superior
orders"
Discussing the Causes of the disas-
ter the senator said:
1T seems to be universally conceded
that this ship was not equipped with
sufficient number of life boats to
provide for the safety of its passen-
gers. There may have been suffi-
cient number in accordance with the
rules of the British board of trade
but it is conceded fact that the great
loss of life occurred because there
was an insufficient number to meet
the necessities of the case and rescue
the passengers and crew.
"The failure of foreign steamships
to carry searchlights is utterly mex
cusable, and II proper searchlight
had been upon this vessel, in my judg-
ment, the accident could have been
avoided. The failure to supply the
proper officers with binoculars was un-
questionably an act of negligence, es-
pecially as | gather from the testi-
mony that a demand had been made
by the proper officers for them, and
the demand had been refused.
There was not the proper attention
paid to the wireless messages that the
ship received. This appears to me to
have been an inexcusable act Of negli-
gence.
"The speed OF the vessel was not
lowered, as it should have been, when
notice was received that she was in
a dangerous zone. My own Judgment.
therefore, is that there was negligence
in this case and that the disaster was
to the want of due care
upon the part Of the company and of
those in charge OF the ship. The
proper tribunals win determine upon
this question unaffected by any con-
clusion that we may arrive at in the
premises"

SENATOR RAYNER

Glasses II as Warning from God and
Lesson That Will Strengthen
Pillars Of Faith.
[By Associated Press.l

Washington, May 9.-Discussing
the Titanic disaster in the senate to-
day, Senator Rayner of Maryland de-
nounced the United States admiralty
and navigation laws as "an incon-
gruous collection OF antiquated stat.
utes, which should be repealed and re-
enacted so as to meet the necessities of
ocean intercourse of the present day."
Senator Rayner dwelt at length on
the lesson of religious faith" that the
Titanic disaster should have taught
and asserted that the country needs
severe lessons that will strengthen
the pillars and altars of its faith"
On this point the senator said
I'VE are to large extent today de-
flying the ordinances of God. and the
sooner we awaken to realizing sense
of our responsibility the better it will
be for the spiritual elevation of the
country. We are running mad with

of ambition. We are separating So
ciety into casts, with fabulous fortunes
upon the one side and destitution and
poverty on the other. 1t takes terri

moorings and our senses. We are
abandoning the devout and simple
lives of our ancestors, and the fabric
of our fresides is weakening at the

lesson or points no moral, then let us
pass il by with stoical indifference

management of the corporations they
control. After discussion of the
present methods of corporation organ.
ization Senator Rayner said;
There is another lesson that this
disaster teaches us and which ought
to be one of general application, and
that is the lesson of corporate respon'
sibility. We must enact legislation
that will make the controlling and SUI
