THE rlENsOF THEIR CHOICE

1t is only fair to emphasize the
fact that President Bush of the
Missouri Pacific Railway Company
ordered that the men in the en-
ploy of his company should be
given a half-holiday on the 5th, so
that they might have plenty of
time to attend to the duty of vot-
ing.
They were released from their
duties in order, as an official order
ran, ito enable them to exercise
the privilege of American citizen
ship and vote for the men of their
choice"
There was time when the rail-
roads were supposed to exert an
improper influence upon their en-
ployes in the matter of elections.
Perhaps it is safe to believe that
a minimum of such influence ever
existed. Nevertheless, it may
serve the ends of Jus tice to give
full publicity to the step which
was taken in st. Louis by the
president of a great railroad st.
Louis Times.

acre tract of land near Malvern.
The association went in a body
yesterday to inspect the property.
The property of Buckner College,

1t does not matter so much
what it is, just so you decide to
have the very best thing of its
kind. There is wonderful tonic
and inspiration in such an ambi-
ton. There is also singular
quality of contagion about such
an ideal. Let man resolutely set
out to do the best work in any
one line, and he presently dis
covers that he is not satisfied to do
poor work in any line. From find
ing that he can be leader in his
neighborhood in any one thing, he
presently developes an ambition
to be a leader in a number of
things.

THE BRITISH TITANIC REPORT.

In the British report upon the
wreck of the Titanic the sparing use
of blame and the disposition to ex-
culpate the captain Of the Inflated
vessel, J. Bruce Isnay, owner; and
the remarkable Duff Gordons are the
principal features. The report finds
that the deceased captain made a
grievous mistake in speeding through
the ice field, but was observing the
practice of ship captains in this re-
gard. 1t finds also that there was
not proper watch kept and there
was lax organization Of the crew
for meeting emergencies. The gsner-
al conduct of the vessel is not CEN
sured, and the report says the ship
was well manned.
Passing from the ships personnel
to the Board Of Trade the report lays
blame upon the body for failing to
revise its regulations since 1894. This
means that the safety measures were
antiquated and insufficient and that
the details upon the ship were di-
rectly traceable to a fossilized British
board that had no adequate idea OF
the range If its responsibilities. 1t IS
likely, however, that the Board of
Trade will remain fcssilized, and even
il wakened from its lethargy for a
moment will relapse into middle-age
neglect of modern needs.
The report has the one recommen-
dation for an international conference
following the position assumed by
the report here, and this may be pro-
ductive, If it is not simply pigeon
holed and forgotten. The British
report lacks the length and rhetoric
of the dissertation Of the chairman
of the American commission, but IL
is hardly any more prolific than the
report of the commission that made
the FIRST inqiry. Certain it is that
field for reforms with regard to the
condition for sailing ships anda the
provision of safety necessities is pro-
nonnced. The sentiment of the peo-
pie will see to il that the adequate
steps are taken. Since the dreadful
accident there has been improved
of ocean liners with re-
spect to boats and RATS, and the
trend is now in TIE right direction.
The self-interest Of steamship CON-
panIes will probably accomplish more
real reforms than commissions.

The Bull Moose party Of this State
held It's convention in Baltimore on
Thursday last at the Empire Thea
tire in Baltimore and named dele
gates to the big Ball Moose cow, n
ton to be held in Chicago on August
the 9th to carry out the wishes Of
ex- President Roosevelt, TO nominate
himself for President.
The theatre was long from being
crowded as had been anticipated and
the gnlIaries entirely empty ex-
cept for a few policemen and there
was plenty of seating room on the
first floor. The convention was not
much Of peoples convention as had
been repeatedly declared it would
be. The steam roller was much in
evidence. The program Of the Bull
Moose bosses was put through regard
less Of the wishes II those who at
tended. A number Of those who
wanted to have say ii matters that
same before the convention were
given TIE carld sh ulder. The c,n-
sention evadel the resoluii m Of a
;olorel delegate by referring same TO
be dele CATION sent to Chicago.
A rupture was created among the
Roosevelt leaders over the question
Is to whether there should be an
ibsolute break from the Republican
party or whether the fight should be
made within the party. No agree
nent was reached. Many Of the
delegates realized that to break from
the party absolutely would be politi-
cal suicide while others wanted tc
break away and form distinct party
from the other two great political
parties.
The convention proved hopeless
failure as far as real sentiment of the
people was concerned. The attend
ance at the convention plainly dem.
onstrated tibet the coming campaign
in this State will be as of old, a fight
between the two great political par.
ties that have faced one another on
the battle ground for votes for the
last fifty years, the one lead by Presi-
dent Taft and the other by Cover.

WILSON A FREE TRADER


Most certainly Governor Wilson
has declared for Free Trade. A,
, !. atly as at the dinner of the Ma
iona. - smecraue IluD only a few
weeks ego ho said: The power of
the Government must never be lent
to those who cannot sustain them
selves" That is perft cdy plain
must never be lent, in the form Of
tariff for revenue or in any other form,
to enable an American industry to
survive against the competition in our
markets Of foreign industry and to
enable American wage earners in
that American industry to continue
their employment through the sur
vival IF that industry.
Governor Wilson in that speech
denied that the maintenance of an
American industry by tariff for re-
venue only, or by any other Govern
ment protection was essential to the
high wages and high standards of
American wage-earners. He said;
"Amsrican workingmen would be
paid high wages if this country were
opeL to all the labor of the ciyiiizs d
world.
Governor Wilson was denouncing
our servitude under protected indus
:ries, through which the employment
and pay of work-earners are protect
ed, and he said: ave are rich
enough, we are safe enough, in our
prosperity, we are sure enough in our
capacity, Of our skill, Of our resource
fitness, TO SET OURSELVES FREE AT
LAST" To set ourselves free in
trade, for his whole argument was
about trade. To become emancipat-
ed by LAYING Free Trade.
We are perfectly willing to admit
that for the last word as to Governor
Wilson's opinions we must await his
official acceptance OF the Demo ratio
nomination for President. In view
Of the demands of the occasion Mr..
Wilson may change bis Free Trade
convictions of yesterday to fit the
political situation of today. He has
changed bis convictions before. He
might very easy do this again. The
habit growing upon him, he might do
1t again many times between now
and Election Day. He might do it
in spite of the Free Trade purpose of
the party which has nominated him.
He might do it in spite of the declar-
alton of his party's platform that the
Government has neither right nor
power to protect American industries
from foreign slaughter and to pre-
vent tie pay envelopes Of American
wage-earners from being transferred
to wage-earrers abroad. He might
do in spite of his Democratic plat
forms decree: AVE- ASSERT THAT
AMERICAN WAeEs ARE ESTABLISH.
ED BYCoMrETITIvE CoSDIT1oNs AND
NOT THE TARIFF"
For his latest opinion on the tariff,
as on other subjects, we say, we must
wait for Governor Wilson to speak
again. But that our statement, chal-
lenged by you, of his former views
and utterances on this subject is alb
solutely correct there is no more
doubt than that he is Governor of
New Jersey and the Democratic
nominee for President of the United
States.-Nsw York Press.
