ward the steel corporation, the owners of
which are those men whom Mr.. Roose-
welt has delighted to designate as
"malefactors of great wealth" and
against whom he always has professed
the greatest hostility.
Everybody knows that Mr.. Roose-
welt, as president, allowed the steel
trust to absorb its principal rival.
Everybody knows, too, that Mr.. Roose-
Welt explained his acquiesence to this
deal on the ground that it was nee
essary to avert a serious business pan
ic. Both at the time the amalgama-
ton was made and afterward the Col

AS SOLDIERS SHOULD.

Three Americans on the Titanic had
military titles. One. Major Butt, was
In active service. Two, Colonel Astor
and Colonel Oracle, were not in the
army. But all had been soldiers.
In the hour Of trial all Of them
played their parts as soldiers should.
Two, Major Butt and Colonel Aston,
died together, after doing all that men
could do to help get the boats, loaded
chiefly with women and children, safe
" away from the wrecked Titanic. Col,
onel Oracle lived, but in nowise dis
honored or brought into question as
man and an officer. He did not leave
the ship in a boat. He did not try to
get a place for himself which might
be needed for some poor woman. He
waited until Just as the great vessel
was going down and jumped into the
sea. That he was picked up and saved
was good fortune, not any 1inching or
his part.
The American soldiers kept the faith
Of the army They lived up to its best
traditions and ideals in the supreme
test. Two Of them died as heroes
and the third was IN no sense les:
honorable in his extraordinary escape
from death.

The Saddest Story Ever Told

and only ceased when they were be-
meath the waves.
Those on deck who we're waiting to
die, and those in the life boats who
hal been rescued, heard the sad, ap-
pealing AIR and were nerved 10 meet
their fate.
The officers and crew covered
themselves with imperishable glory.
Women and children first rang out
the stern but humane law Of the sea-
Calmly and diligently they provided
for the weak, knowing that for them
selves there was no hope and that only
a few minutes separated them from
eternity. Captain Smith and his aids
were equally grand and brave. If the
crew seemed to waver in their duty, the
captains admonition, BE British, be
British" told them where duty pointed.
1t was the saddest story ever told,
and yet illumined with such deeds of
daring as mankind had never known.
To read this narrative of bravery
herolsm. selfsacrifice and devotion to
others, proves the people Of the world
are grand and their wonderful self
abnegation must tend TO make the
world better

All the world loves a lover, and so,
canonizes the brave.
In all times, in all climes, the braves
have come and gone, but, in the main,
they are not forgotten. History is full
of brave deeds by men and women,
and as we read the bright pages we
linger longest on those that tell of
deeds of valor and sacrifice.
Not since the flight of time began
has the world noted greater bravery or
nobler selflessness than was enacted
when the Titanic plunged to its doom.
These acts of heroism were not confin-
ed to sex or social position. Women
were as noble as men, and poor, IN
Iettered, unambitious immigrants were
as stout OF heart as the more favored
sons and daughters of the fortunate.
Nor was grander picture ever trans
ferred to canvas In the full tide of
health, with glorious life opened to
/ them, men and women were told they
must part at once and forever. There
was little bemoaning or bewailing stern
fate. The harsh decree was made and
had TO be met, and each to cheer and
encourage the other said farewell,
kissed each other, and only wept when
the loved ones left behind could not
see the unbidden tears
Mrs. Straus refused to leave her hus

might otherwise be saved. There ap-
pears no reason why they should not
be allowed to pick up all the stray
news they can, for no secret messages
are sent doubtless except in cipher
code. In sending, however, they should
be carefully and closely restricted, and
especially so along the seashore, where
they are naturally most abundant.
That there should be license system,
with a severe penalty for violating the
rules calculated to prevent confusion
when lives are endangered, seems Ger
tain.

REGULATION Is NEEDED.

II is reassuring TO read that the gov
eminent has at once taken into consid.
Grafton the regulation OF wireless op-
erations. II appears well nigh certain
that the amateur wireless operators in
terfered seriously with messages with
which the air was full after the wreck
OF the Titanic. and the accident brings
forcibly to mind the urgent necessity
for action which the navy has for some
time been urging. To cut OF independ-
ent experiments would be a hardship
upon some. but such a condition as pre-
vailed while the effort to get news from
the Titanic was in progress should not
be tolerated.
II is authoritatively stated that Sun
day night and all day Monday the anna.
teurs kept up a constant stream of
sparks and the Charlestown navy yard
station was absolutely prevented from
securing any authentic bit OF news for
which the entire world was breathless-
" awaiting. Within a comparatively
short distance OF Boston there are
said 70 be fully 500 amateur stations,
some OF which are equipped with pow.
erful apparatus, and that they did ere

venting any accurate news being Sc

THREE CONSPICUOUS FACTS.
Lately, three facts have become
known which throw a great light on
Mr. Roosevelts attitude toward the
steel trust. First it has leaked out
that the first rift in the friendly rela-
tons of Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft
was caused by the latter's refusal to ap-
point Frank B. Kellogg attorney gen.
eral. This is of particular significance,
in view Of recent events, when it is re-
called that this same Kellogg Is known
to have been drawing a large salary
from the steel trust at the very time
he was drawing pay from the govern
ment, under Mr.. Roosevelt, for prose
cutting the trust. Secondly, it is known
that since he entered the race for the
presidential nomination Mr.. Roosevelt
has had frequent conferences with
! George w. Perkins, a director of the
steel trust, and thirdly, Mr.. Perkins
(director of the steel trust) and Mr.
Frank A. Munsey, the largest individu.
al owner of steel stock, common, in
the country, made sworn statements
that they contributed $4,000 each to
the Roosevelt campaign fund in New
York state alone
ROOSEvELT-s HACKERS.
Why should Perkins and Munsey
(both heavy owners of steel stock aid
Mr.. Roosevelt? Is it because Perkins
steel trust director, Standard Oil banl
director, organizer of the harvester
trust, and arch type of big business
generally, is an ardent believer in the
initiative and the referendum? Is il
because he wants the recall of judges
Is it because he desires pure democ
racy?"
In view of these things, is it an!
more than fair to ask of Mr.. Roosevelt
that he cease shouting "LIAR!" a
everybody who disagrees with hin
long enough to explain his relation
with these steel trust "malefactors'
just little more satisfactorily?
