ANOTHER ICEBERG COLLISION.

An 000-ton ship, the Corsican of the Allan Line
from Montreal to Liverpool, crashed into an iceberg
off the Newfoundland coast recently. Her bows
said to have been crushed in but the meager re-
ports received say that of her 500 passengers
were hurt and that she able to proceed without
assistance.
The accident comes at time to emphasize the
imperative need of carrying out the recommended
tons for safety at suggested a result of the
Titanic investigation.
Notwithstanding the horror of that disaster, only
strenuous action would have forced the steamship
lines to adopt the necessary precautions against sim
liar catastrophes. They would have done something,
of course, but there apparent disposition to

forts for Public Good.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
The people of Washington who are
interested in civic righteousness ap.
preciate the support given by your
paper to all moral issues that are
brought before the public and that so
vitality concern the welfare of our be-
loved city In fact 1t appears to be
the only paper of our city with any
convictions along lines of true progress
and moral reform.
There are still those who PERSISTENT!
refuse to see the signs OF our times
and helps in carrying out the great
plans TO- national reform which the
American people, with consciences
awakened to the present need, have
dared attempt to put in operation un'
der the leadership of the greatest liv-
ing American. Theodore Roosevelt, who
without doubt ranks with Washington
and Lincoln.
If these persons have a distorted
vision we may hope for better things
from them when they are converted,
but we are inclined to believe thei'
enmitY is due to a hatred which fears
the results to themselves and theil
selfish interests of any business OF
social reform.
Wishing you success in your effort:
for Righteousness and progress.

WHERE DOES BUSINESS COME IN?

Business in this country aided by the bounties of
great crop year, and despite the handicap of an ex
cessive yield of peanut politics. is trying determnedly
to improve.
That it is succeeding so we'll, is one of the mar
ves Of the time.
Standpat Republicans headed by Taft are fight
ing to prevent any reduction Of the tariff Democrats
are struggling to keep the tariff issue alive. In the
game of battledor and shuttlecock all thought of
solid business interests and concerns, of the welfare
of the people, is forgotten.
The spectacle thus presented makes the best pos
sibe argument in favor of turning national control
over to the Progressive party which will give the
country taste of craftsmanship and construction in
place of politics and recklessness
The Washington times., 1912-08-14
MR.. TAFT'S VETOES.

The country will hold President Taft justified in
returning the present appropriation bill to Congress
unsigned every time it comes up to him. Opinions
may differ as to the value of the Commerce Court
The Times had declared it worse than useless in
sttuton. But if it is to be discontinued at all, it
should be done away with openly by special legsla-
tion To use the threat of refusal to provide funds
for the expenses of the Government as means of
forcing partisan legislation upon the President is
indecent abuse of the legislative power
Still more so is the attempt to secure the end of
civil service by the same means. Congress would
never dare make the limitation of civil service ap-
pointments to terms of seven years the point of
special legislation. 1t knows such bill could
escape veto; it knows the country does not want
such measure passed. it would not pass it even in
directly were it not for the prospect of Demo-
cratic victory in November. Its attempt to force it
on the President and on the country by refusing
otherwise to do its duty under the Constitution is
the mark of petty, selfish and dangerous politicians
The President should let Congress stay in session
from now till doomsday rather than let them have
their way
The Washington times., 1912-08-14
HUGE CROPS, YET HIGHER PRICES.

The country will probably raise more than three
billions of bushels of this year for the first time
The August crop report indicates record breaking
yields in hay, oats, and other feed crops.
These things should all be convertible into terms
of ham, bacon, sausage, tenderloin sirloin, and
porterhouse. But they are not; the parity has been
disturbed; the ratio is awry
1t may be the tariff the middeman, the rise in
land values the movement to tine cities all doubtless
have something to do with it.
But after all, the characteristic American de-
mand for extra srlon, medium" has a deal of
responsibility
Some day will have to learn to waste less.

GUARANTEEING A FREE PRESS.

The Federal court Of Judge Kenesaw Lands,
Chicago, made famous by the judges $29, 900 900
fine of the Standard Oil Corporation has set new
precedent by fling decree which is to prevent
subsidized press and both monopoly and censorship
of news that is presented to the readers of l6, 900
rural and village newspapers.
The decree is the result of long fight between
what are known in the publishing world as boiler
plate" supply companies; that is, companies which
furnish the smaller daies and the weekly papers
with news matter all ready for printing. The inevi-
table end of this fight was the survival Of the
strongest company, which result, once attained would
leave the small publisher at the mercy of this one
company for his news matter.
The decree sets forth the danger Of such con-
tingency. as follows the expectation (of the
strongest company which was pushing the fight for
extinction absorption Of its competitors) was that
in view of the great power thus acquired in dissent
mating information the united property could be dis
posed of at great profit to those interested in nstll
ing certain economic ideas in the minds of the public,
and that it was the design that such a disposition
should be made of it,
The companies that would have been merged into
this monopoly furnish news matter and editorials to
10000 of the smaller newspapers, reaching 100000
Of readers-nearly all the rural newspaper readers
The Federal Government contended, and Judge Lam
ulS sustained the contention, t1at such business
was interstate and that to use it for the
purpose of pervertng the news and deceving the
public constituted very serious and very substan
tial restraint of trade.
The view that thought and information can be
monopolized just as effectually as the products of
factory or the mine and that the abridgng of the
freedom of the press constitutes restraint Of trade
as grievous as combination to raise the price of
meat or fix railroad rates is new one but it stands
the test of reason
Moreover, in this case, the Government did not
wait until the evil had been accomplished and the
press had been muzzled 1t petitioned for and Sc
cured the decree that will stop the destructive CON-
petition that would have resulted in the actual re-
straint of publicity of facts.
The Governments contention and its being sus-
tanned by Judge Lands opens vista that must not
be pleasant for those interests which have abored
zealously and stealthily to poison the sources Of
public information and deprive the people of the
great weapon of newspaper publicity. ~
Judge Lands decree has blazed the way and il
is certain that with the inevitable characterization
of the judiciary and the Strengthening Of our anti
trust laws so that they may be reguative that
the example set by Lands will not lose its force
the years 60 on. 1t simply means that Big Business
will never be able to establish a censorship of the
press Of this nation.
The Washington times., 1912-08-14
APPROACHING ZERO.

BY virtue of the resignation from the Republican
ticket of all the West Virginia electors but one and
their accepting of similar positions upon the Pro-
gressive party ticket there is no Republican party
in West Virginia.
Thus in twenty-four hours from being the reg
uar' organization the Taft machine is the wildcat
organization that must 60 out and get its name on
the ballot by having people sign petitions that they
want its name there.
The significant feature is that wherever this has
been made necessary by the entire organization going
bodily into the Progressive camp it is proving
very difficult for the Taft machine to get the neces-
sary signatures to keep it alive. Where people want
an old party they are apparently satisfied with the
Democratic organization
1t is becoming more apparent every day that
Wilson is going to get the reactonary vote and
Roosevelt is going to get the progressive vote Taft
is going to get nothing After November there will
be no Republican party. Where it once will be
a blank.
The threatened division of the people along pro-
gressve and reactionary lines is longer prophecy.
1t is fact There only two great parties-the
Democrats and the Progressves.
The Washington times., 1912-08-14
THE OFFICE BROKERAGE BUSINESS.

The business of buying political support with
Government appointments, or rewarding friends and
Furnishing enemies in terms of appointments to or
removals from public office, is becoming positively
indecent.
From Louisiana, from Porto Rico, from New
Mexico, come substantially identical stories of fat
j,bs handed by the President to men who earned
them by supporting him at Chicago
The recent appointments of Ohio people who
helped steal the six Buckeye delegates at large con-
tlnue to smell to heaven-or some other locality.
Has anybody ever stopped to wonder what would
become of the Federal service if Taft should be re-
elected and the whole civil list should be turned into
batch of pay envelopes to discharge the nauseous
obligations incurred in the process of putting Taft
oyer?"
The Washington times., 1912-08-14
Mail Bag
This Is q Pertinent Question.

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
In the various comments passed upon
the action Of Congress in attempting to
inf1ict the seven-year tenure Of office
upon the civil service and the reasons
assigned therefor. | note particularly
that the fathers of the bill state that
under the present system 1t is impossible
to get executive officers to recommend
reductions and dismissals OF inefficient
officials.
This Is true, but WHY?
Simply this: The clerk with good in
fiuence at the Capitol do not measure
up in efficiency, as a general rule, with
those dependent on their own actions
for good standing for promotion. and
the former class brings down the
thunder and lightning from the Hill
upon the offending executive.

OVERCONFIrENT.

Governor Baldwin of Connecticut must be ac-
cepted as the star political psychologist of the
paign He declares that the apathy in the Demo-
cratic ranks, which is already disturbing Wilson 5
closest followers must be set down as due to over
confidence. Baldwin had his own experience of over
confidence with Roosevelt when he paraded over
New England announcing that he would teach T. r.
some law on employers liability. Since the Supreme
Court of the United States decided that Roosevelt
was right Baldwin has never been overconident in
