Congress has been argued repeated ly to see to it that ocean-g going yes se's were properly equipped Wlta life boats and life saving apparatus. The American Federation of Labor and other organizations, such as the Sea mans Union, for instance, has been insisting for decades on legislation to make vessels safe.
 The Seaman's Union, it is true, has coupled with it's demand for greater safety aboardship, increased wages, better conditions of living and great CT liberty to sailors in this as well as in foreign lands. Primarily, the labor interests have urged this for the benefit of the crews, but it can- not be questioned that better condl- tions for seamen mean superlof equip ment for both man and vessel and would tend to assure the safety o' those who place their lives Ill the keeping of others while on the deep
 Today, many are criticisins the ap- parent indifference of four legislator to the necessity of such laws, and are asking themselves if Congress Will re- lapse into it's old state Of self-com nosure and self-satisfaction as sool as the present excitement over 'h' Titanic calamity abates.

THE splendid reforms which he led

with the work which will confront him
as president.
"As the nominee of the party he can
be relied upon both by speech and pen
to teach Democratic truths with a
clearness which will carry conviction
to his hearers and readers. He is
master of the tariff problem. His
speeches upon this subject are mod
els. He has captured an immense fol-
lowing throughout the entire country.

not name a man with greater strength

a Democratic victory, and that in ad.
dition thereto a number of middle and

TRAckLESS TROLLEY CARS.

-
An experiment is to be made in
the near future with trackless trolley
cars in Aberdeen. The tramways
committee of the town council have
recommended the introduction of the
system over a limited distance in the
Footdee suburban district, which at
present has no tramway communica-
ton with the city. The length Of the
proposed route is just over one mile,
and the suggestion of the general
manager is that there should be a
ten minutes service when the pres
sure Of traffic is not heavy. Two
cars will be purchased in order to
carry out the experiment, and the
total initial cost, it is estimated, will
be e3,O50.

ABOUT GOING OUT EVENINGS
Natural That Woman Should Want to
Get Away From Scene of
Constant Toll.

In the course Of a days work a
man has many interesting distrac-
tions, yet be is prone to take the at
titude in his home that he bears all
the burdens and his wife none at all.
The man returns home, processes
that he is worn to the BONE" and
somehow he ''gets away with it." 1t
is refreshing to him to return to his
comfortable home, made comfortable
by his wife, and he rather hates to
60 to the theater or some other place
of amusement. He really wonders
why women are forever wanting to
be On the 90.
The home, however, is really the
woman's business office, where every
thing spells work. What means
quiet comfort to the husbands means
infinite toll to the wife. 1t is but
natural that she should want to get
away from the scene Of her constant
toll in the evening when the days
routine has been done.
1t would be good thing for the
husbands if they were put to house
work for at least one or two weeks
in their married life. They would
then have a broader perspective

Senator Finch Of Florida has

The leaders Of the Mexican
revolution have promised pro
lection to American citizens, after
finding that their bluff would not
work. But such promises are
worth little if anything, for the
leaders have practically no con-

the United States will pay little

will be held in readiness to take

The County Examiner Of t'aulk-
ner county has advanced an idea
which is good one to increase
the attendance in rural schools;
that is, to improve the condition
of the the roads leading to each
school. The idea is to have this
work done by the patrons of the
school, each to subscribe as
much money or labor as possible.
The idea is to have the work done
in connection with the work of
the regular road overseers where
possible. Ifcach District could
be organized to do work OF this
kind and each man of the District
be brought to feel an interest IN
all the roads leading to the school
there would soon be a wonderful
change in the condition of the
roads, the attendance would be
better and the value of the school
correspondingly increased.
