TO MAKE SEA TRAVEL SAFER

AT conference of mayors of cities
In New York simple device-legisla-

travel much safer was suggested and
was well thought of that it was urged
for immediate adoption by congress.
Senator McCumber has introduced a
bill embodying this New York plan and
an identical bill is pending in the
house of representatives.
These bills are very brief. They
provide only that hereafter no vessel
OF more than 5000 tons Gross meas

WHERE is OUR REFUGE?

II shocks some of us 10 be told that
the colonel has gone back on the
people of Rome, in their day "the
people just as much as any of us at
this time. In a speech at Baltimore
Friday night the colonel is reported to
have said:
When Rome was changed from a
republic TO an empire IL was not Caes-
ar who changed it; it was the corrup-
ton OF the people"
That is a disconcerting message.
Here We are asked TO place supreme
reliance in ourselves, to battle hard
and make a stand for the direct rule
OF all the people all the time and every
where; and in this propaganda up to
this speech by the colonel was assur-
ance that when we get what we are
after everything must be lovely.
OF course II is annoying at this
stage of the contest TO have the chief
apostle get up and call attention to the
corruption Df the people" OF Rome
that brought about the destruction Of
q republic. the greatest the world had
seen up to that time. II there is a
chance the people may go back on us

tends 70 confuse, TO bewilder and be-
fiddle the litigant. Mere hocus pocus
to make the ignorant gap. Speaking
Of the laws delays and the reforms Of
judiciary why not use plain English
terms?
The time was, perhaps, when knowl-
edge Of the law, medicine and other
craft was TO be kept from the multi
tude and treasured by the elect with
which to conjure others. The well
sounding phrases Of the foreign ton
que should have no place in the admin
istration OF justice in this country and
in this age. Liberty. progress and jus
tice seem ensnared in that old time
phrase. Ignorance Of the Law excuses
no one" Still it would appear TO be
the fixed purpose to keep the common
citizens in ignrance Of the Law, legal
procedure and the road to Justice.
The courts and the whole system Of
administering justice would be elevat-
ed in the minds Of the great mass Of
citizens were the means and methods
Of administering the law more easily
understood and fashionable by the lay
mind.
One step would be the use Of plain

A JOB-HOLDER'S CRY.

In 1905 President Taft received
629,929 votes in Illinois At the pri-
mary election held in this state April 9
there were less than 100000 repub-
lican votes cast, of which Roosevelt
received about 17O, 900, just about one
fourth Of the republican vote cast four
years ago.
The republican party in this state
has good reason to be alarmed and we
believe its frantic cries for harmony
in ali effort to keep the same old COM
binauon of job-holders in office will be
futile.
Democrats never had better oppor-
tunfty to win a great victory in Illinois
than they have today. The opportun-
ity is here. There is no denial that the
republican party is torn with strife and
that republican harmony is an impos-
sibility, but the democratic campaign
must not be an Office seeking cam
paign. That sort of fight will not only
fail TO rally the democratic voters, but
It will fail to attract independent and
republican voters whose cooperation is
necessary IL democrats expect to win
in November.
We have urged, and We will continue
to urge, that principle be made the
rule and guide Of action, that individ-
uals be lost sight of, that the public In
terests be kept constantly in mind,
that we put men in office not to serve
their own interests nor the interests
Of their political associates, but to
serve the interests Of all the people
and Of the whole state of Illinois in an

(Boston Herald)

Twenty years ago David B. Hill, a
senator from New York, apologized to
the people for becoming an avowed
candidate for the presidency. His tour
through the south in pursuit of the
nomination had been widely criticized
as out of keeping with the dignity of
the office which he sought. Presidents
who were then candidates for re-elec-
ton, no matter how obscure their
chances, contented themselves with
securing by indirection, if at all,
popular attention to their personality
In the campaign. But all restraint
on this score has been thrown to the
winds. Presidents and ex-presidents
are now experiencing the common lot
OF ward politicians.
1t is the direct primary that has
done this, whatever may be its other
merits. In state politics its first eff
fects were TO limit candidates to the
men who sought the office" They
had to make public their aspiration,
and then conduct a campaign in its
behalf
AS soon as the same idea had been
transferred 10 the national field Mr..
Roosevelt was compelled to announce
his candidacy for the presidency. I'm
der the old system he could have wait
ed for the convention, as a result of a
stampede or otherwise, to tender him
the nomination as on the traditional
silver platter among the an
Equities of our political household

is out on a stumping tour, not for his
own reelection, but for his own re-
nomination, at the hands Of those who
would ordinarily be expected to give

Is doubtless necessary. But it adds
nothing TO the strength or the service
ability Of the great Office which he
holds. Congress is now in session

STATESMEN WITH REBUILT
NAMES.

Why does presidential lightning
play so often about the heads Of men
who have tinkered with their names ?
How does it happen that a practice
which Is not common among men in
general should crop out, every now
and then, in connection with the high
est Office in the country?
Champ Clark did not begin life With
that short and choppy outfit His par
ents had him christened James Beau
champ Clark, and in his early man
hood he usually signed himself u.
B. Clark" On formal occasions he
was sometimes James B. Clark" The
idea of chopping his mothers family
name in two in the middle and adopt
ing the last half OF It as his own and
only given name did not occur to him
until later in his career. No good
reason is known why it should have
come into his head at all.
And Woodrow Wilson was Thomas
". Wilson when he started life for
himself He became Thomas Wood
row Wilson after a time and then he
dropped his first name and Woodrow
Wilson he has been ever since. It
Is doubtful whether he has profted
by the change, in politics. AS Tom"
Wilson he might have been able to
make the people whose votes he wants
feel q little nearer To him than he
viii get as Woodrow.
Grover Cleveland did the same
thing. He was christened Stephen

law is higher than man-made law. The
man-made law of our country allows
you TO sell yourself legally for money
or anything else
But long before man took a hand,
two natural laws ruled himself pres
ervation and rejuvenation. He got up
and stayed up among his fellows by
being strong. He became immortal
on earth through his offspring. And
nature managed it all by creating that
vital attraction between man and wom-
an which made them loving, enduring
mates with babies TO feed and fight
for.
That is the story of the beginning
OF the survival Of the At. And the
worlo hasn't changed any since.
Men are fond OF likening themselves
to the early cave man. 1t sounds strong
and hairy and picturesque. But it
amounts to about as much as the pres

A little cave period thinking is the
thing.

DO fancy this woman because she
has pink cheeks and dresses like a
doll?"
Am inclined to this man because
he has good looks, good job and it's
time to marry because all the other
girls are doing it?"
These are the fundamental ques-
lions. If they sum up about all there
Is to the situation, pass right on.
But II you find you really care, then
ask as If your life depended on it,
these:
How do I measure up morally?
Is the love feel that deep, tender
whole love made necessary and posi-
BILE to humans which knows complete
ness only when if finds expression in
new life?
Have I the courage to stand any
thing and everything, against every
body and everything for my mate?
