For time Gov. Wilson had the call in

to the pleasant impression he had made

Mr.. Watterson champions a man for Office
he does so both whole-heartedly and elo-
quently.
But this impression was changed-for
reasons now familiar to the public-and
since then Mr. Watterson has as whole

Wilson. He does nothing by halves AS

Tombstone Of Humanity.

From the Baltimore American.
Deep down in the heart of society
throbs the common heart of mankind. 1t
Is not different from the heart Of the
individual. 1t is apt to become callous
and Indifferent to the steady beat of
charitable appeals and distress stories
and the wall of woe that weights the
common atmosphere of living. But 1t Is
heart that is, nevertheless, attentive
to the cries of calamity that rise from
the abyss of human disaster. Who shall
say that as long as the world shares the
woe of any considerable portion of it's. in
habitants IT is not instinct with the
finest sensibility to sorrow and worthy
of being rated charitable to the core. The
touchstone Of humanity is the sympathy
felt in a common grief.
The Titanic dropped down into the
depth Of the ocean and left but frac.
ton of its human freight broken and
distracted In the boats to drift upon the
waves. waiting and watching for the re-
lief that might loom from the blackness
of the night. The touch of human sym.
pathy came in wireless responses and
changed the course of more than one
steamship, and of those which diverted
from their course one picked up the boat.
loads of the men. women and children
adrift. But this was only the first ex
preston of human sympathy. the first evil
dence of the common tie Of human inter.
est in the fate of fellows.

one Of them, witness before the Senate
committee. 1t would have been possible
with glasses 70 have seen the berg which
the Titanic struck much more quickly
than was the case without them. When
the berg was actually seen there was no
time for the great vessel, moving at
twenty-one knots an hour, to be turned
clear Of 1t. Perhaps five minutes more
would have given her safety and prevent
ed the sacrifice Of over 800 lives. OF
course. this - only matter of specu-
ladon, a question Of judgment as to
whether the berg could have been seen
more promptly II the lookouts had been
supplied with binoculars. 1t is quite fair
to assume that with glasses they could
have given suff1cient warning to save the
ship. In another respect, too. the Tt
tanic was deficient, though In this, as IN
the case of the Hfebcats, she was not un-
like other large liners. Had she pos
sessed a powerful searchlight, such as
is carried by smaller vesses for picking
up harb6r marks and otherwise aiding
in the navigation of difficult waters. in
all probability the berg could have been
disclosed Enthusiastically to everybody on
the bridge long before it was dangerous
ly approached. Whatever the color of
the berg may have been to render ii diff
icuit of detection at night. searchlight
such as the Titanic should have carried
would have rendered it brilliantly visible
in the clear air that then prevailed. It
seems incredible that this detail has been
neglected in providing for the
equipment of large ocean liners. There
has been painstaking attention to such
details as swimming pools and gymna-
SUM outfits, concert halls and cardrooms,
but in the mechanical essentials that
make for safety strange and, as it
proves. a iife-washng economy has pre-
vailed. After this. in the light Of the
Titanic's wreck. 1t should be possible 10
render every vessel that floats SO per-
fectly equipped that 1t will be conquer
able only by the resistless power of the
sea as an act of Providence.

Taft, Roosevelt and Lorimer.

| No feature OF Mr. Roosevelt's campaign
has excited more surprise than his COUP
ling of the name of Mr.. Taft with that of
| Mr.. Lorimer. People have wondered
upon what IT rested. What authority did
Mr.. Roosevelt think. he had for associat-
ing the President in any way with Lori
merisni? 1t was one thing to accuse Mr.
Taft Of not having taken the right course
as to conservation or the tariff, or hav-
ing gone too far in his negotiations for
peace with Great Britain and France but
quite another thing to charge him with
sympathizing for political purposes with
the junior senator from Illinois in the
matter affecting the latter's seat in the
Senate.
We now have Mr.. Roosevelt's explana-
ton. Speaking at Oyster Bay yesterday.
he said: II know that originally, year
and a quarter ago. or whereabouts, Mr..
Taft was against Lorimef. I have heard
conflicting reports as to what his attitude
has been since. but I know that that at
titude has satisfied Mr.. Lorimer.. as is
shown by Mr. Lorimer's action in earnest
~ and cordially supporting Mr.. Taft, and
by the action Of all the most prominent
Taft leaders in the Senate in supporting
Mr.. Lorimer.''
That is to say. Mr.. Roosevelt's positive
knowledge in the premises was In Mr.
Tafts favor, but hearsay was against
him, and Mr. Roosevelt in the end yielded
his knowledge to hearsay. Conflicting
reports unnamed-induced Mr.
Roosevelt to believe that Mr.. Taft had
gone over to Lorimerism.
: 1t is true the hearsay was supported
by the fact that Mr.. Lorimer, in the Illi-
nois contest between Mr.. Taft and Mr.
Roosevelt. was supporting the President
But should that have convinced Mr..
Roosevelt of Mr.. Tafts conversion to
Lorimerfsm? Mr.. Lorimer was not sup
porting friend as against an enemy, but
choosing between two men both Of whom
were against him. His feelings were
stronger against Mr.. Roosevelt because
Of the refusal OF Mr.. Roosevelt to meet
him at dinner, and the sensational ad-
vertisement Of the episode by Mr.. Roose-
welt and his friends. Mr.. Lorimer owed
Mr.. Taft nothing. and was paying no
debt. He was pumping against q man
who had improved an opportunity to hu-
initiate him before the country
In nothing that Mr.. Roosevelt has said
or done Of late respecting the man in
whom his trust was once so great and Of
whom his praise was once SO high does
outrage show quite so plainly as in this.
1t is thrust at personal character-an
exhibition of an eagerness to win dis
creditable to the man whose proclamation
has been for the square deal. and whose
boast has been Of loyalty to personal
friendship above all odds or difficulties.

Paul Jones, Strategist.
from the Boston Transcript.

Probably most of those persons who
read the account Of the dedication Of the
Paul Jones statue at Washington think
OF that daring sea-fighter as q man Of
strenuous action, sort of sea knight
Paul Jones was indeed all Of that. and he
was a great deal more. He was q think
er. who thought deeply on naval strategy
and naval Organization. and, so far as
our service is concerned. his designation
as the father Of the American navy
is correct. Save toward the close OF his
life. and then under most unfavorable
conditions. he never had a chance to put
his ideas of strategy into action. The
Russian navy. with which he served in
the war against the Turks, was q poor
school and one unwilling to learn from a
great instructor.

 The difficulty between Hearst and Tammany cannot, however. be denied The two factions are bitterly opposed and 1t is considered certain that Will son will have a very delicate task to perform when apportioning offices to the members of either.
