HERE ARE SOME POSSIBILITIES.

President Taft it is announced, is going to spring
political something positively scandalous
during his invasion of New England this week.
So interesting! But so painfully vague Can il
be that the Presidents scandal will be a detailed
statement of the amount of money spent in getting his
nomination in 1908? Is it possible that Charles P.
Taft is going, at last, to let the country know how
much he invested in getting Presidency in the
family?
Or is the President preparing to air the whole
inwardness of the affair of Major Ray army officer
labor boster, political pet and protege Of Mr. Taft
Or may expect illumination of the Norton
patronage letter and the scandal of using political
patronage, first to destroy the progressive wing of the
party, and afterward to pull off obbed conventions
in the interest Of Taft?
Or are we, perchance, to get the exact terms OF
the deal by which the Taft campaign turned over
to the Lorimer gang, with Lorimer lieutenant as
director general?
Or may he hope for a confession that will clear
up all the uncertainty about the inside facts of the
dcker that made Balinger Secretary of the Interior
There are so many possibilities in this promise
Of airing real political scandal that it is difficult
to preserve patience and calm, pending the great
expose.

WHO is CHAMP CLARK?
WHAT DOES HE STAND FOR ?
the Editor OF THE TIMES

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
Lawyer" in Mondays Times asks
this question? One might imagine that
he, like Rip Van Winkle, had been
slumbering for the past twenty years.
II he will brush the cobWebs out of

Tighten him. Chnmp Clark is a Repre-
sentative from Missouri, ana at the
present time Is Speaker OF the House
of Congress. What does that stand for {?
Let us examine a part OF his record in
Congress. He led the fight against the
Payne-Atlrtch bill. since repudiated by
the American people. He led the fight
against Cannonism, that system of leg
islative tyranny that rendered the peo-
pie helpless in the attainment of their
will, and was foremost in overturning
the Republican oligarchy of the House
lie led the minority in a fight against
Gated economical administration that
labor might be lightly burdened." He
began lighting for The income tax years
advocacy. He. fought for. Statehood
of the Territories, and for their rights
to self-government. He has opposed
he encroachment of the banking in
to control their own financial systems,
and still adheres to this opposition to
Capitalization and monopoly in the
monetary system of the land IIc has
portation agencies. and the abolishment
OF trusts and monopolies. He has
fought against proposed laws designed

EXCLUSIVE NEWS.

If it should turn out that the Carpathia refused
to reply to questions propounded in the name of the
President of the United States concerning the fate
of the victims of the Titanic because few persons
connected with the wireless telegraph company had
sold the exclusive rights to the story to certain
newspaper, then it will be necessary for the regua-
tions Of the wireless systems to 60 step further
than ever has been done before.
In the case of the land telegraphs this has not
been necessary The Western Union or the Postal
would not think of attempting to tie up the news of
great disaster in the hope of profting by selling
the news to one newspaper or syndicate of news
papers.
A feature of the new laws regulating wireless
ought to be requirement that in certain emergen-
ces the wireless companies their operators, and the
entire service be placed under the orders of the Fed
eral Government; disobedence being punished with
severity
One thing stands out in the British criticism of the
American Governments handling of this stration
and that is the universal amazement because of the
fact that the United States has permitted the control
Of the wireless to pass into the hands of private
Germs.

NAVY DEPARTMENT
ORDERS NEW ROUTE
TO AVOID |CEBERGS
Notice of Change in North
Atlantic Track Sent
Out.

Orders Will soon be issued by the
Commandant of the United states
Revenue cutter Service directing the
commanders of all vessels of the SER
vice to follow the new northern trans
Atlantic steamship route. Official no.
tice Of the change was received by the
Revenue Cutter Service today from the
hydrographic office OF the Navy De-
partment. The change ordered by the
hydrographic office makes the new
route $50 miles south Of the old one,
and will lengthen the voyage between
Liverpool and New York by about eight
hours.
captain Uberroth, in charge Of the
operations of the revenue cutter SER
vice said today the change was all that
was left to be done to insure vessels
rushing at full speed through the ice
bound north Atlantic from suffering a
similar fate to the Titanic.
1t is a wise change and the only
pity Is that II could not have been
made sooner. 1t would have avoided
the awful disaster of the Titanic" said
captain Uberroth.
The ice report which we received
from the photographic office today is
the largest that I have ever seen in
my experience as an officer and a sail
unusual ice conditions prevail in the
north Atlantic. Any ship travelling
over the old course would be In danger
and the only way to avoid 1t Is found
In the action of the photographic office
In removing the course so far south as
to be entirely out of the path of ice
bergs,' said Captain Uberroth.

THE PROBLEM OF THE MISSISSIPPI

few days ago somebody with the capacity for
asking very pointed questions propounded this
inquiry:
IF the annual flood of the Nile is blessing to
Egypt, why must the annual flood of the Mississippi
be disaster? Is there no way to turn this horror
into benefit, as Egypt for thousands of years has
done?"
That certainly suggests new idea about handling
the Father of Waters
Engineers have long been pointing out that the
present method of dealing with the great river must
inevitably make conditions worse and worse year by
year. From the upper course come down vast guam
titles of SOIL carried in the water. This sinks the
bottom, tending constantly to raise the channels floor
Great levees are built, whose purpose is to conne
the waters in narrow trough. Their effect is to
keep this deposit within the trough, thereby causing
the streams bed to rise faster than it naturally
would. AS the lower stretches Of the channel are
thus lifted higher and higher the water necessarily
must flow more slowly, and the tendency must be to
deposit still more of the SILT
Thus every year lifts the whole river higher and
higher above the level Of the surrounding country
Levees must be built higher and stronger and when
they break the damage is proportionately greater.
1t seems apparent that this treatment of the
stream cannot 60 indefinitely without inviting
greater and yet greater disasters 1t is for engineer
ing experts to study the whole worlds experience with
similar situations, and apply the best knowledge to
the Mississippi. The plan of establishing great
reservoirs about the upper waters of streams, to hold
back floods and let them out in dry seasons to
contain most promise of satisfactorily controlling the
stream. This project has been urged by various
students of drainage, flood, and conservation prob
lens, who point out that double purpose would thus
be served First the volume of the water which must
be carried away in flood seasons would be vastly
reduced and second the stored water could be used
for irrigation purposes, for the encouragement OF
forestry, the development of commercial power, and
many other useful purposes
1t seems certain that some such plan as this will
at length have to be undertaken. To 60 on everast
ngly building the great lower stem of the Mississippi
system up in trough, higher every season thar
before, is procedure that simply cannot be con
tinued.

THE QUESTION OF WHO
SHOULD BE SAVED

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Ihave read that certain woman sut-
fragists have declared that women and
children should not have precedence
over men In receiving places of safety
In time of danger. In my effort to dis
prove their assertion / will take their
own practical stand and leave out all
question of chivalry and Its modern sue
cussor. nerve.
1t is assertedthat the lives OF men
are more valuable than those of women
or children and should be saved first. II
thought is taken upon this 1t will be
seen that the comparative values of
human lives can never be determined,
either accurately or approximately.
Col. John Jacob Astor administers his
millions well; his young son, with the
skill counsel he can call, will do II
equally well. This immigrant woman
raises seven or eight youngsters, strong
IN wind and limb. their ideals higher;
their natural class anupathy less rabid
for having known of a man like Astor.
II this woman browns, her present two
or three children may do very well in a
good orphan asylum. l think they
mother of their own. Who can choose
between this man and woman? Take
this small dirty boy out of the boat and
put In MAJOR Butt. The major Is man
of undoubted qualities. The little boy
may be anything from hobo to an Edi-
son. His chance of being of the caliber
of either Edgar Allen Poe or Marconi
Is small, but 1t Is as good a chance as
any other boys inthe world. We must
choose between Major Butts certain
talents and the childs large chance OF
mediocrity, smaller chance Of good tai
ents, and very small chance of world
firing and immortal genius. How can
we tell?
Manifestly the only way to decide who
shall receive the safest places is from
the basis of physical strength and hardi-
hood. 1t can not be disputed that the
average man Is stronger than the aver
age woman. Colonel Oracle had a small
chance when he dived overheard; his
wife in the same predicament would
have had no opportunity.
When we go to the bottom of our fine
and sweet chlvalry we will find 1t prac-
teal as well as noble. L.

REMINDING THE TOURIST OF HOME.

Trade follows the tourist rather than the flag in
the American case-and, for one reason, because
only comparatively few ships carry the flag. The
most remarkable example of this may be seen in the
European theaters, where so many American enter
tainers under engagement not only for their own
sake, but because they remind the touring American
of home sweet home, and induce him to think better
of foreign lands. In London the other night musi-
cal comedy that had previously enjoyed long run
in Boston made its European debut before large
and enthusiastic audience, mainly Americans" The
critics twired their mustaches and condoled one with
the other; nevertheless the play is expected to do
we'll over there through its appeal to Americans. All
the worlds a stage, the Bard of Avon said, and
the American musical comedy, catering mainly to the
grand army of American goberotters, is fast becom-
ing universal attraction.

THE CARIBBEAN.

In view of the patent fact that the completion Of
the Panama Canal will bring this country into much
closer commercial and financial relations with the
countries of the Caribbean Sea, and in view Of the
further fact that the sentiment of the American
people will not permit an abandonment of the Mon
roe Doctrine, it is to be hoped that the result Of
Secretary Knoxs recent voyage will be, at the least
an awakening Of interest in the facts concerning
these countries
In the past the American people, and this in
cludes the American Congress, have acted in matters
involving South and Central America upon prejudice
rather than upon information. That was all very
we'll as long as we really didn't have any particular
dealings with them. But now that we are going to
use their front yards as short cut from of our
seaboards to the other, it behooves us to get some
information. We ought to know what kind of dogs
they keep, whether they bark bite both, and if
they keep them chained up O dark nights.
If Mr.. Knox can help us TO learn these things his
trip will not have been in vain.

THE SCENE SHIFTS.

The center of the interest of the world has shifted
to Washington, where the Senate committee today
resumes the investigation of the Titanic disaster.
II the responsibility for that horror is to be fixed
upon any living person it ought to be done promptly,
and If any have been falsely suspected the nvestga-
ton ought to establish their innocence.
But the Senate knows, and the parliaments of
the world know that the real responsibility rests upon
society. All governments are guilty and all are now
Of the mind to rectfy the errors Of the past.
The prompt action of the American Senate
observes the praise of every civilized man.

MUT|Ny BREAKS OUT
IN MOROCCO TOWN
AGAINST FRENCH
Reports Reach Paris That
800 Rebels Are Slain in
Street Conflict.

PARIS, April 22.-The total absence OF
dispatches from Fec. where the Moroc-
can troops have mutinied against in
creased French Intervention, led to the
belief today that the uprising has as
sumed serious proportions, and that the
French troops may be in danger of los
ing control of the situation.
The last dispatches which were mea-
ger, reported 800 rebels killed in a des-
perate street conflict and the imprison-
ment of 1000 more. All Of the Euro
peans were concentrated in the Sultan s
palace, where French troops, aided by
re-enforcements from the barracks at
West MekineZ, were on guard.
The absence OF news led to the be-
lief that the rebels may have stormed
the palace. The Patrie declares that
the government has stopped all
press dispatches, and the government
declares that all but one of the five
government operators at Fec have been
killed, and that the survivor cannot han
die dispatches.

Tell Grand Jury of Condi,

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. April 2c.rEight
midshipmen. members of the two upper
classes at the Naval Academy, were be-
fore the local grand jury this morning
to give information as to the furnishing
Of intoxicants to midshipmen.
1t has been claimed that in most cases
where midshipmen have obtained in
toxicants they have not bought it di-
rectly from local dealers, but have re-
ceived it from go-betweens. A recent
act of the Legislature has made any
party acting in this capacity punishable
by heavy ine and imprisonment.
The information given to the grand
jury this morning resulted from the in
Vest!gations of board of directors ap-
pointed by Superintendent Gibbons. The
civil authorities represented are work

PICTURES IN THE PULPIT.

Moving pictures are cutting big figure at present,
and yet take it that the instruction and the enter
tanment they have to give are but beginning to prove
themselves. This wonderful twentieth century inven-
ton recently had its first introduction into Boston
church service, illustrating the story of Moses from
the time when Pharaohs daughter found the child
in the lark of bulrushes" up to the time when the
Leve assumed his leadership of the people; and the
significant part of the innovation is that when the
picture show was over and the minister announced
that those who wished might go, the only ones who
went were few small boys who would probably have
fdgeted outrageousy if they had stayed Certainly
that minister's idea was good one!
So the worth of the moving picture keeps on

THE TWELFTH INDIANA DISTRICT.

The managers of the Roosevelt campaign made
one serious mistake in the early stages of their fight
They didn't realize how overwhelmingly the people
were for their man. Failure to appreciate this was
responsible for division and contests in Indiana Just
little real hard, timely fighting would have swept
every district in the State by such emphatic maorites
that fraud and chicanery would not have dared
attempt reversal.
The Twelfth Indiana district has proved this. On
Saturday it held primaries to select delegates to the
district convention that will name two delegates to
Chicago 1t is reported that not single ant-Roose-
velt was chosen in the entire district.
The Twelfth Indiana has done what all of Indiana
would have done if it had been given half chance.
AS it is, Indiana is assured of sending ten
tested Roosevelt delegates, eight uncontested Taft
delegates, and twelve contested with the merits in
favor of Roosevelt.
