the REpoRr on THE rITANIC.

THE REPORT on THE TITANIC.
The propricty and utility of the Senate
committees investigation If the loss or
the Titanic receive abundant vindication
in the committees report ana in Senator
Smiths speech Of introduction and sum
mary. II was announced some time ago
that there would he no personal cenSurc
in the report. nor any attempt 10 invade
the British jurisdiction by prescribing
or even suggesting penalties for those re
sponsible for the disaster. This forecast
is fulfilled, save to the extent that sim
pie rehearsal Of the facts elected itself
conveys moral indictment and ccnSure.
ii was impossible to say less than that
CAPTAIN Smiths extraordinary disregard
of the dangers of which he had been
warned was direct cause Of the diSas-
ter. while in declaring that his willing
ness 10 die was the eXpiating evidence OF
his fitness to live senator Smith paid q
deserved tribute 10 the best qualities OF
that supremacy unfortunate commander.
Nor is il easy TO disagree with him in
thinking that tremendous responsibility
rests upon the captain Of the Californian
for his failure to ascertain the facts con
corning the ship which only gunShol
away was making signals of distress.
It is pleasantcr To turn. however, 10
other features of the report, To the com
mcndation Of the vigilance and valor
of the CAPTAIN of the Carpathia and OF
others who contributed 10 the rescue of
those who were saved and of the wireless
& cgraphiC operators on the doomed snap.
Most profitable Of all. however. are the
entirely imperSonal portions. IN WhIch
the imperfcct0nS al construction ANA
equipment Of the Titanic are pointed ouI
and demands are made for action which
will minimize the danger of repetition
Of shc disaster. The lessons the hour,
as Senator Smith truly said. would in
deed be frutlcsS il action did not follow
hard upon the day of reckoning. And
the possibility If effective action * clear
and indisputahle. The recommendations
concerning construction and equipment
which are made i'm the report will COM
mend themselves even 20 those who were
lately inclined TO criticise the lack Of cX-
pert nautical knowledge which was at
times displayed during the investigation.
Legislation must surely follow for the
enforcement Of the recommendations
which are approved rs appropriate and
necessary. TO some extent American
legislation will be effective. even for the
regulation Of foreign ships visiting our
ports. Still more effective will be the leg
iSlation or administrative orders which
the world will expect from the govern
mentS under whose direct jurisdiction
the ships are. Perhaps most important
Of all will be the international action.
toward which steps have already been
taken. for the establishment of uniform
rules among all maritime nations and for
the better regulation Of traffic on the
high seas.

FURNISHING" MRS. PANkHURsr.

10 the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: II IS with much regret that see
that some II the Suffragists who are mem
hcrs of what they call the Daughters Of
Liberty are intending To aveuge Mrs
Pankhursts punishment FOR the terrible
troubles she created i'm London to try and
force her objects through. We men were
in hopes that the women OF this country
did not approve of the vicious things Mrs
pankhurst and other suffragists did in Lon
don. but II they are like minded they. as
well as the London women, will defeat
their object. 10 force their country To allow
them to vote the same as men, for II they
are vicious enough 10 do or approve Of
such crazy actions they should no. be
deemed capable to vote.
Another thing-they will hurt themselves
about marriage. ~ men want gentle
women for wives and not vicious ones. In
stead of calling their society the Daughters
of Liberty they should call IT the Daugh-
ters Of Liberty to DO Evil. for that seems
what they want when they talk of boycott
ting England to punish Mrs. Pankhurst
and others

orr 1.-THE SINGLE TRACh.'

Colonel George Harvey has turned his
back on the single track" system in
notifies. His own ideas used To run on
only one pair Of rails, until a memora-
bic bead-On collision occurred about five
months ago which sent him, sadly
shaken. to the political hospital. No
more icrk-watcr. operated bOth-wa ys-by
telegraph railroadinG for him. He has
learned by sad experience the advan-
tages Of double track system, equipped
with blocking apparatus in both direc-
tons
Colonel Harvey does not intend to be
made the victim Of another "Forgivc
me and forget my manners" letter. After
q siege in the repair shop he is again
advising the Democratic party how 70
choose candidate for the Presidential
nomination. But he Is not taking the
chances he used TO take. Instead of one
peerless and manifesty predcstincd
choice OF academic origin he now pre-
sents two choices Of practical rather
than scholastic training. He is playing
either to win against the other and no
bumps to Harvey whichever way the
cat jumps. In two-part article which
appears in the June number Of "Ihc
North American Review" the colonel
says:
As between Champ Clark. Speaker
and Oscar w. Underwood, leader Of the
House. choice must be made by the rep
resentatives of their party in convention
assembled. . Happily the integ
rity, the patriotism and the Democracy
Of both are beyond the possibility OF
question.
1t is interesting 10 see the editor Of
"The North American Review" ut work
proving Speaker Clark's strength as a
Presidential candidate. Here are two
gems of political thought on which he
seeks to base his demonstration:
Mr.. Chairman, after nine days of sore
travail, at least one truth has been
brought forth on the Republican side of
this House, and that by the gentleman
from North Carolina Mr.. Kinney. when
he said that | would destroy every GUS
tom house in America. He Is entirely
correct. If l had my way to-day, sir,
would tear lhem all down, from turret
TO foundation stone, for from the be-
ginning they have been nothing but
dens of robbers
There are but two men in all the hoary
registers of time that Cleveland's name
ought to be associated with-Judas Is
CARROT and Benedict Arnold. Shades of
Arnold forgive the proclamation! He at
least did not hire "A SIbst itUte IN do his
fighting. Upon reflection | think 1
really ought to beg the pardon Of Judas
Iscariot. because after his treason he did
have the grace to go out and hang him

livery Of heaven to serve the devil in.

PLAN talk FROM TRUTHFUL

1t is seldom, and perhaps happily so,
that a casual obiter dictun Of a toast
master is SO promptly and seriously put
into practical effect as was a remark Of
Mr.. Henry Whites at the Pan-American
dinner OH Monday evening. Speaking
from the plenitude Of experience and OBJ
seryatiOn of Il long and successful diplO-
matic career in which. as be said. it had
been his policy TO induce others to talk
while he kept silence and listened. he
dwelt upon the profitableness Of direct
conversations between the representa-
tives Of different countries and then
added the observation that thus, in a
face 10 face and heart TO heart" talk,
they might say in friendship and with
mutual profit thing. which if said by
telegraph or mail at long range might
almost he cause for war. Ii may have
been unexpected by him. but certainly
II should have been gratifying in high
degree. to have some OF the speakers
who followed him give forthwith prac
teal illustration Of that very fact
Thus in some circumstances. at long
range. ii might be a delicate matter for
the Secretary Of State TO complain that
in number Of the IAtin-American re-
publics, especially those less advanced
and less fortunate in their internal af

quarters TO insult the fair fame of the
United States, for Interior and unworthy

which cries aloud for abatement, and in
the course Of a direct face to face talk,
