the ice to enjoy the novelty Of view OF
Niagara from the surface Of the river
Immediately below the falls. The desire
to see the familiar from an unusual point
OF view has carried countless people into
places Of great danger. At Niagara there
il always In evidence desire to brave
the perila OF the cataract and the gorge
In order to get the closest vision Of the
tremendous forcs. There is something
particularly APPEALING about the ice
bridge which forms occasionally. for al
though the view afforded from 1t Is not
as good as that which is obtained from
the little steamer that goes close to
the cataract itself in summer time. the
sense Of danger is attractive. After this
mischance 1t is to be expected that the
authorities at Niagara will prohibit per-
sons going upon the ice. There is no
sense in exposing human lives to destruc-
ton for the sake Of the questionable
pleasure afforded at the bottom Of the

Death at the Falls.

The tragedy at Niagara Falls. where
three people were carried to death on the
Ice bridge that had formed below the
cataract. is one of the most shocking in
cidents in the long record Of fatalities
at that great natural wonder. There have
been deaths innumerable at Niagara.

conceivable causes. deliberate dehances OF
death by foolhardy swimmers. but none
has ever occurred before quite like that

the bridge and wrenched 1t from Its

stayed with the woman who was with
him. his wife. it is believed. and the
other a young hero who might have
saved himself. but who went back te
lend assistance in an effort to get the
woman on the ice. The spectacle thai
was presented when the rapidly dissoiv'
ing Zoe was swept into the narrow gorge
below the falls and there crushed By
the mighty current. with its helpless hu.
man occupants, will remain one Of thu
most tragic scenes In the history Of
Niagara.

The Lincoln Memorial.

The Lincoln memorial commission hav-
ing definitely decided upon the Potomac
Park site, no more time should be lost
in proceeding with the selection of a de-
sign and the appropria ion of funds nee
essary for its execution. 1t is reported
that the subject is likely to be reopened
in Congress IN the hope of changing the
character of the memorial, with he es-
pecial object of aooltlng the proposed
boulevard or highway between Wasnlng-
ton and Gettysburg. Advocates of other
sites than tie Po.omac Park location
also have hopes Of overthrowlng the de-
cision of the commission in favor of
their own plans, while there is a pros
pect of fight over the design for the
memorial on the Potomac site Itself.
Congress referred this question to the
memorial commission tor the purpose, il
Is to be assumed, of relieving itself OF
the delaying process of selection and de-
cision. 1t Will be by no means an as
surance of more satisfac .ory form OF
memorial to the war President to have
the responsibility thrown back upon the
House and Senate 1t is the part rather
OF constructive progressive patriotism to
accept the findings of the commission as
far as they go and to ask from Congress
merely ratification in terms of a money
grant sufficient to execute the design with
the least delay. Against the Potomac
Park site can be only the negative objec.
ton that the commission does not init.
mately couple with tie memorial project a
plan for a bridge across the Potomac
joining Washington and Arlington and
thus symbohzlng the reunion OF the sec.
tons for which Lincoln labored. 1t is
OF course. to be assumed that eventually
some such link will be forged between
the north and the south. an artistic
practical and significant token of reunion
and forming part Of the national tribute
TO the martyred President. 1t should bf
begun. however, simultaneously with the
memorial on the river bank.

A Destructive Proposal.

1t is unfortunate that the proposition
of a public utilities commission for the
District cannot be presented and urged
on its merits without being used as a me-
dunn of disturbing the financial relation:
of nation and capital. Instead Of estab
fishing this commission on the customary
half-and-half basis. in accordance will
the agreement of 1873, 1t is proposed II
the pending bill that the expense Of the
commission shall fall wholly on the local
taxpayers. This is an ugly danger-
GUS exception from the principle and
spirit of the organic act.
In municipal concern related PR
marily and mainly to the original Wash
1ngton, of which in the beginning thu
nation owned five-sevenths, and affecting
regulation of the use by semi-public cor
porations of streets the sole property o.
the United States, the nation by an ex
ception repudiates in part its partnership
arrangement of 1878.
If the United States excerpts this mu
nicipal function from the half and hall
agreement the way will be opened and
rendered easy for the similar exception
of every other function in the whole list
beginning with the schools and ending
with the funded debt.
Profoundly unhappy is the condition of
the people Of the capital, whose legisla-
ture Gin which they have no representa-
tom threatens them as incidental to a
wise proposition of constructive legisla-
ton with a destructive proposal which
stabs vitality what the Supreme Court
calls the Districts constitution, the or
ganic act.
The financial relation of the nation and
capital should not be revolutionized I'M
less after thorough discussion in which
the fullest and most patient hearing has
been given to the nrepresented part
ner, whose only participation in the
partnership affairs is that of q petitioner,
with appealing words. The fact that
all the power of decision is in the ma
tional partner should make the latter In
common fairness the more ready to listen
to the reasoning and appeals to equity Of
the local community whose tax money
Congress holds and disburses in trust.
This provision of the utilities commits
sion bill. as an entering wedge, threat
ems the overthrow of the present finan-
cial relations of nation and capital. 1t
has not been considered and discussed in
committee as its importance deserves.
The capital has not had fair chance 10
defend its financial life.
II the opportunity is given to it tax
paying Washington is confident that it
can demonstrate that the present ar
rangement Is equitable and should not be
disturbed, and that such disturbance, d.
rect or indirect, without full and fair
hearing, in reputation or reopening and
reversal of the compact Of 1878 Will be a
cowardly and cruel exercise of despotic
power, recklessly inf1icting upon the help
less a gross injustice.

Infant Mortality.
From the Indianapolis News.

Nothing in recent times has been more
clearly demonstrated than the possibility
Of reducing infant mortality, and certain
ly nothing can more strongly appeal to
lures of men and women than the propo-
sition to devise and execute certain meas
ures for saving babies from disease and
death. 1t is safe to say that many good
men and women are just waiting to have
their attention attracted to this field of
work, and that they will not only give
their time, but their money to 1t. It is a
challenge to every individual who has
ability and means to do his part in dis
seminating knowledge, correcting evil
conditions and constructing right rela-
tionships. which are quite Indispensable
in saving infant life.

Mr.. La Follette's Blunder.

Senator La Toilette Of Wisconsin has
done some excellent public service in his
own state. In Washington he earned pub
lie gratitude by his energy and efficiency
in helping pass through the Senate the
Underwood tariff-reduction bills which
President Taft regrettably vetoed. AS a
candidate for the presidency he would
have been sadly out of place. This fact
familiar to public men, was made appar-
ent to the peorle Of the whole country
by Mr.. La Follette's amazing midnight
blunder at Philadelphia Saturday morn
ing. That Mr.. La Follette's outbreak
was due in part to illness. fatigue and
nerve strain was apparent: and 1t will
rightly soften comment upon his per-
Torrance. In other circumstances he
might be called upon sharply to prove his
grave and sweeping charges against
American journalism as "subservient to
special interests or to stand convicted
as one reckless almost beyond rivalry in
the use of baseless SANDER.

Mr.. La Follette's Obsession.

Senator La Toilette has q very poor
opinion Of American newspapers. But lie
has a very poor opinion Of everything
and everybody. The newspapers should
not ask to be excepted. II wealth con-
trolls, as the senator says 1t does, the
newspapers must be in the tolls with all
else Mr.. La Toilette asserts that
small coterie Of plutocrats run the coun-
try. He traces their power in Congress,
in the courts, in state legislatures, In gov
errors mansions and in the White House.
Turn one way or another, he sees the
dollar mark plainly stamped upon the
backs of officials and upon the pages Of
statute books.
But there was a time when American
Journalism occupied higher plane. In
that day newspapers represented both
wisdom and independence Of view. The
public welfare was their only considera-
ton. Those directing their course were
open to no suspicion as to motive or in
tiuence.
Unfortunately for the argument. Mr.. La
Toilette brings the golden age too close
to date. He names men whose perform
ances are well known to influential lead
ers Of the present day. We are all aware
that those men were assailed as bitterly
in their activities by politicians as any
editors now in harness are. And with NO
more reason. In fact. the abuse OF them
followed the identical lines Mr.. La Fol-
lette now lays down respecting their sue
cessors. Their critics denounced them
either as yellow or venal. or piratical.
and warned the public against them.
Not long in their graves. they are can
onized for an exigency. Thomas b.
Reed, puncturing a bat of cant in his
day, described statesman as a poll
tician who was dead. Gen. Sheridan, In
a fit of Impotence after a western CAM
paign. said that the only good Indian
was "a dead Indian. Mr.. La Toilette
would have the country believe that the
only good editor-high in all purposes
and worthy of all respects the dead
editor.
But Mr.. La Toilette does not stand
alone in his attitude toward the daily
press. There are other men in political
life who perform the same stunt in much
the same way. They are sure that moth
ing remains Of journalism but the scare
heads over sensational news, and even
they are often misleading. Who cares
for an editorial opinion nowadays? Pooh!
Nobody reads it, or. reading 1t. regards 1t.
And yet let the most modest daily
touch one of these scorners on the raw,
and he yells like a Comanche. AS soon
as my attention has been called to
the article he responds either with an
explanation. or abuse, or an action at
law. His Indifference comes to an end
instantly, and he is all alive with indig-
nation, and all for revenge.
Mr.. La Toilette Injuries himself and
his cause by his extravagances.

Charles Dickens Popularity.

From the New York Herald.
Baying at the moon has it's advertising
qualities no less than trying to assail the
literary standing of Charles Dickens. A
living English author who has no great
number of best sellers" to hts credit
says that the creator of Little Nell was
inartistic. ignorant and INSCRIPTIONS as a
writer. More than one million copies of
Dickens books were sold last year, and
from this fact the just inference might
be drawn that one million persons prefer
the inartistic, ignorant and INSCRIPTIONS
writings Of a man dead forty years to
those best sellers which, in order to
attract any attention at all, need the
subtle yet fierce publicity that beats
down on prima dome and presidential
possibilities.
