the pothunter and make possible MAUI
raj increase in the birds and beasts
from wear to year Another aid toward
the increase Of wild game Is In the pro-
visions regarding artificial propagation
of fish and game for the market. Deal
ers would much rather buy their trout
ducks, pheasants and venison from per
sons on whom they could depend FOR
regular supply than from market hunt-
ers. This measure contains FEATURES
designed 10 encourage the process al
ready begun in this state or preceding
certain kinds Of game for the market
TO the manifest advantage or their wlld
brethren. In still another way the law Is
designed to afford protection TO the
states wild life. II permits the con
servation commission to shorten the
season fixed by statute for the taking
Of anv variety OF game. Heretofore the
Legislature under strong pressure mas
shortened open seasons sometimes, but
has heen unable to see why favored sec
tions Of the state should not have spe-
cial privileges in the way Of longer open
seasons for some kinds Of game. The
conservation commission Is not likely TO
do that.
Two features of the measure stand
out especially. One Is the prohibition
against the killing Of does. which VIII
not only aid propagation Of the deer
but tend to conserve the lives OF hunt
ers by enforcing sufficient caution to
determine before they shoot II the AMI
nal wears horns. Another is the fact
that the law states what the sportsman
NAV do, not what he may not do. Thus

NOT 1.-THE LAST Word"

Mr.. Ismay. managing director OF the
White Star Line, says that "the Titanic
was the last word in shipbuilding," yet
Oh a clear night in calm sea she went
down with two-thirds Of all on board.
She was the last word. yet she carried
lifeboats enough for only one-third OF
her passengers and crew. She was the
last word, yet when running swiftly at
night through iceinfested seas she was
unprovided with searchlights, which
would have revealed the approach TO
danger in time to avoid 1t. She was the
last word, yet blow too light to awaken
or TO startle her passengers inflicted In
iuries which caused her speedy destruc-
tion.
The Titanic was the latest word In
shipbuldng, but she was not the last
There will be others spoken, both figu-
ratively and literally; and some or the
most emphatic and effective OF them Will
be uttered just because OF the Titanic
and her fate
New-York tribune., 1912-04-20

in such a case have brought help in very
short time.
Searchlights properly placed might heip
in detecting objects in front OF vessel
but even IL they failed to be Of much SER
vice to a vessel in this way they wouio
certainly assist greatly in aiding the dis
embarkation Of lifeboats In time of acci-
dent. The source of illumination for such
searchlights should not be electricity
generated by the ships engines, Tor IL
such were the case they would be OF no use
when the engines stopped working.
II seems to me that in unsuitable
ships like the Titanic. and "freproof
buildings like the Equitable. too much de-
pendence is placed on the device produced
by man, and too little account taken OK
the tremendous forces Of Nature. The only
safe policy Is to presuppose that tho worst
is sure to happen some time, and to nave
provision made for 1t when 1t does.

"FBOU THESE HOyORED DEAD

Most of the dead on the Titanic died
heroically. Welding their lives both thar
the women and children Of the snip 5
company might live and that the lives
of thousands of others totally unknown
TO them might be spared in the future,
They periShed for their fellows as truly
as soldiers who give their lives In ma
tion's defence. for the world can never
forget what they did and suffered III a
supreme crisis, aud will be made wiser
and better for their inspiring sacrifice.
1t is painful thought that some must
die that others may be saved and many
suffer that a succeeding generation may
benefit. But that is the law of this I'M
perfect world. slowly struggling toward
distant goals Of moral and material
betterment. Progress can seldom be ac-
complished without the martyrs whose
su(ferlngs stir the public imagination ana
set at work the influences which compel
another forward movement. 1t Is for the
living always, az Lincoln said at Gettys-
burg. to take increased devotion TO the
cause for which the dead have given the
last full measure OF devotion. The
heroes of the Titanic will not have died
in vain if by their sacrifice the perils Of
the sea are henCefOrth materially les
sened and the recklessness with which
those perils have been faced becomes a
discreditable memory.

The way Mr. w. S. Stone. chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
talks of the refusal Of the railroads to
raise the engineers wages Is commend
able. Mr.. Stone told the reporters 10

their heads. I'VE are not discussing a
strike" he said. but rather method
Of settling the matter amicably." There
does not seem to be room for anything
but an amicable settlement The rail-
roads say that they cannot afford TO pay
the men any larger wages than they re-
ceive at present And the men seem to
agree with them. There doesn't appear
to be much room for a violent contrO-
versy or for a bitter sense Of injustice.
Mr.. Stone further says that If his or
ganization, moved by the refusal of the
railroads, presents an ultimatum, that
will do no harm,' adding: II have
known ultimatumS that would eat out
"of your hand" We hope Mr.. stones
ultimatums are of this gentle type. Ulti-
matums have become an everyday neces-
sity. Few can get on without employ

Of the disaster when the essential facts
are indisputable. One is that the vessel
pursued a route too far 10 the horth.
Another is that she was being run at
high speed through waters which her
captain knew TO be infested with Ice
bergs A third is that there were life
boats enough for only one-third OF the

opportunity to put all into lifeboats and
