Modest Greatness.

One day letter was received at
the postofiice in Paris bearing the
following inscription: "To the
Greatest French Poet" The letter
carrier was instructed to deliver it
to Victor Hugo, who refused to re-
ceive it and sent it to Lamartjne.
This genius also declined to accept
the latter and passed it on to Al
fred de Musset. The latter, equally
modest. resent it TO Victor Hugo,
who finally accepted it. The letter
had reached its destination.

lean people have been under the i'm
preston that the great ocean liners
were fully equipped with life boats
and other life saving appliances. It
appears. however, that this has not
been the case, and IL has been for
years well known by those on the in
side that the life saving equipment
OF the ocean steamship was entirely
inadequate 10 an emergency demand.
such as was made in the case OF the
Titanic. At very moderate expense,
enough life boats could have been
added TO the Titanic to have carried
of every man. woman and child on
board the liner. and had that reason
able provision for safety been made.
thousands OF American and English
homes that are in mourning to-day,
would have been rendering thanks to
a kindly province for their escape
from a great peril.
For many years the public prints
have been filed with stories about
the advance in ship building; about
the remarkable development OF safety
appliances and the protection afforded
by the adoption OF wireless teleg-
raphy. until many people had come to
believe that an ocean voyage was
safer than staying at home. Ships
we're declared 20 he unsuitable. A
great disaster IVES believed 20 be
impossible. All these carefully built
up beliefs have been shattered by one
dire catastrophe. The perils OF the
sea have not been overcome. Mans
mightiest. best equipped and best de-
signed ocean going steamship has
been swallowed up almost in the
twinkling OF an eye.
From the Titanic we may at least
, draw a lesson and that lesson Is. that
the precautions that make for safety
and for the preservation OF life in
time OF accident. cannot be too care

TAFLA AND The TARIFF.

The attitude OF the sugar growers
OF Louisiana. relative TO the Demo
cratic free sugar bill. shows the in
consistency OF the average reduction
ist. The Democratic members OF the
house from Louisiana voted cheer
fully for a bill to reduce the tariff on
wool. They voted unanimously and
repeatedly for a bill TO reduce the
tariff duties on iron and steel, but
when the proposition comes before
congress, fathered by the Democratic
caucus. to wipe out the protective
duty on Louisiana sugar. they arose
in wrath Ike one man and began to
insurge against the Democratic party
organization. Nine-tenths Of the in
surgency of the present and the last
: congress, whether Democratic or Re-
publican. has sprung from motives ex-
actly like those that inspire the
Louisiana Democrats. The Republican
insurgents in the house and senate.
headed by such men as LaFollette,
Cummins and Bristow. have been con-
slant, vigorous and vicious In their at
tacks upon protective measures de-
signed to protect the iron and steel

Have Their Eyes On a Bolt.

Warm denial of the story that he
intends 10 bolt and form a new party
comes from the colonel. but II is ex-
traordinary how prevalent is the be-
lief that he Is planning TO resort TO
Just such stroke In case the worst
comes TO his political fortunes. Presi-
dental candidates do not ordinarily
act as the colonel Is acting. nor do
their lieutenants and friends. n the
rule or ruin policy has not lodged IN
their minds. In the coloners case. the
suspicion that he Is planning insur-
rection against the Republican ma
'ional convention. which he must al
ready realize he cannot control. is in.
creased by the attitude maintained for
many months by some OF his present
followers We can testify that a new
radical party has for a year or two
been contemplated as possibility by
certain insurgent papers in the west
The idea has been that II the radical
wings Of both the Republican and
Democratic parties could be united.

fected the situation in Pennsylvania
There is. however. every indication
that the forces OF conservatism are
certain to control the next Republican
convention. Talk OF compromise is in
the air. but there can be no compro-
mise between the policies which Mr.
Roosevelt advocates and the essential
principles Of the Republican party.
No man like Justice Hughes will be-
come a candidate for the Presidency
on the radical platform laid down by
Mr.. Roosevelt. That Is the difficulty
in the way Of any compromise. and
until II is clearly demonstrated what
Kind OF a platform and what kind OF
promises the Republican party expects
TO make to the voters this year. com
promises can hardly be considered.
Mr.. Taft stands by the ancient land
marks OF the Republican party. He
is the only prominent Candidate in the
field to-day that does so stand. and
; n is the duty OF every Republican OF
Ohio county and Of West Virginia who
believes in the record and traditions
OF the Republican party. and not mere

of campers have been the cause of
many forest fires starting up in the
woods and waste places in this and

and infiammable that it does not take
long after fire is dropped and built

tempests of fire and do incalculable
