CAPTAIN SMITHS FAULT

The Smith conlmittse puts the en- tire blame for the wreck of the Ti- tanic upon Captain Smith. Little fault can be found with this conclu- sion The law of the sea andTof na- tons puts the government of the ship entirely upon the shoulders of the captain
 He is not obliged to endanger the lives of his passengers upon the ad- vice of owners, or of anybody else. Captain Smith was a man of unusual experience in sea faring life. He must have known the dangers. that were about his ship, after three warnings of Ice fields had been received. He knew the risk he was taking when he drove shis- vesssl 24 miles an hour through the night with ice all about. Perhaps Managing Director Ismay urged the excessive speed. Ismay wanted to make time.

PROGRESSIVE MASSACHUSETTS,

Lacking a constitutional amendment to the Federal law the decision of the voters will not be legally bind- ing, but it will be morally and there is little danger that the representa- tives of any party will override the popular will when officially express ed.
 The direct election of senators is superior to their direct nomina tion, but the latter is immeasurably super for to the old method of leaving it to the legislature

 The American. multi-millionaire is not an impressive figure under the calcium light of justice.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5-That hunting

Gould, who yesterday resigned al
chairman OF the board of directors Of
the Denver & Rio Grande, to be sue

the road, who In turn Is succeeded by
' benjamin f. Bush.
The retirement of Gould and the
placing OF the management OF the road
N other hands brought a sharp rise
IA the price OF all the Gould railway
4fochs.
When Jay Gould died, he left $50
10000 to be managed by his eldest
1on, George.
But George j. Gould has lost, one
oy one, control OF the vast properties
his father left.
For twelve years, prior to his faith
<r's death. George Gould. under his
fathers supervision, managed the
Gould properties at a salary OF $780,

properties Increased enormously In
wealth
As long as George Gould attended
no his own business after his fathers
death, he prospered. the Gould estate

when, In 1902. Gould wrested control
OF the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. from

his troubles began.
In 1903 George Gould announced
that the Gould trans-continental

fought him because OF his trans-con-

became one or weakness In 1905
Gould had his historic fight with

MONETARY BOARDS NEW
PLAN FAILS TO ENTHUSE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5-The at
tempt OF the monetary commission to
prop1tiate opponents OF the Aldrich
currency scheme by amending the
plan SO as TO prevent control by
Wall-st.,' met with little favor today
with those who have been lighting the
commissions plans.
Under the new scheme the commits
sion would place the finances OF the
country under the control OF a CEN
trail reserve association, as in the
original plan But New York, with
so per cent OF the banking power or
the country, would control only 10 per
cent of the association. The middle
west and the far west together would
control 80 per cent. The commission
declared this would prevent Wall-st.
having control.
But Rep. Lindbergh, rep, Mimi,
who is the author OF resolution for
the investigation OF the money
trust, today disagreed.
This, he said, lis an admission
that the original scheme was in er-
ror. II shows upon its face that the
commission proposes 10 give TO some
localities advantages over others. !.
The new plan would not take
away control from Wall.st.
More than half of the 10 branches
of the reserve association in the new
scheme would be organized by the
Morgan Rockefeller interests. There
are no suggestions that the reserve
system is to be essentially changed
and the reserve system is what gives
the money control to the few.
