EQUIPMENT FOR SOUND LINES.

II will add a sense Of increased Sc
curity to the patrons of the Sound
lines Of steamboats, when the policy
OF placing full lifeboat provision on all
the boats Is carried out. The an
nouncement that it will be done shows
that the New England Navigation
company intends to comply with all
the necessary requirements for the
safety OF its passengers. The COM
2any operates its steamers practically
within sight Of land at all times. and
has been careful in caring for the
needs Of those travelling by water by
carrying more lifeboats than the reg
ulations OF the department Of COM
merce and labor require. and equip
ping their vessels with wireless.
The only safe way to proceed. how
ever. Is by providing lifeboats suffi-
Gent for all. and then If an accident
befalls the vessel, that precauton Of
supplying the boats has been taken.
Though the boats are in sight Of land
practically all the time. yet it is re-
membered that the Larchmont was
lost just OF Watch Hill, and it is not
always possible to anticipate acct
dents and reach land, though it may
not be far off.
The additional equipment is the re-
suit OF the Titanic disaster, and the
company is wisely complying with
measures which are in the interest of
human life, beside which other con-
siderations must take second place.

MAKING RAeTrME UNPOPULAR,

Joining with the widespread opposi-
ton 10 the suggestive dances is the
International Association of Dancing
Masters. and they should have a pow
erful influence in putting a check on
the hops and syncopated hugs that are
classed az dancing. How far they can
do this is problema tical. They con-
sidsr that ragtime music is RESPONSE
bic for the bunny hug" turkey trot"
and grizzly bear" to say nothing Of
the others Of similar name. While the
dancing masters can have some infiu-
ence in destroying the interest in the
dances which tend 10 degeneracy, by
teaching the waltz and the minuet or
twostep, there must be a determined
effort among the dancers before it will
be entirely eradicated.
Many who delight in making exam

terpsichorean orgies do so because it

The barring Of them from public
dance halls has good effect in decreas-

ment, but until they cease TO be fash
ionable the fad is liable to continue.
Those who set the fashion have an
important part to play in this respect.
As long as they continue the daring"
and keep the dances before the public,
30 long will they exist. but let them
become Questionable and they will

and dances cater to the public demand.

THE THAw CASE.

Another instance of what money
can accomplish is shown in the re-
appearance Of the Thaw case in New
York in an endeavor to get him free
from the prison for the criminal in
sane. This notorious case has had
sufficient publicity since the accused
shot Stanford White, but as long as
the wealth permits, 1t can be expected
to appear periodically until every eff
fort is exhausted. It is intended now
to show that he is sane and being in
his right mind should be granted his
freedom. Already fresh in mind. 1t
will be remembered that Thaw escaped
the electric chair only by the plea Of
insanity. There was a deliberate muir
der committed, but the electrocution
of an insane man is never sought, so
when the defense proved to the salts
faction of the court that Thaw was
suffering from an incurable mania for
killing he was saved from death
Now the surprising quick recovery of
the paronoiac shows that the criminal
insane asylum is a remarkable hos
pital in bringing the incurable back TO
normal conditions, or else his condi-
ton at his trial was far different than
alleged. Alienists will testify at this
hearing that he is sane, as freely as
they did at his trial when he was
pronounced incurable.
It is possible that such an appeal
will influence the court. but it looks
too thin on the face of it to believe
that justice can be held up to ridicule
in any such manner simply because
there is wealth back of the appeal.

IDEAS OF APLAIN MAN

God is not to be known, but to be
realized. We cannot come to Him as
we come to a tree, we come to Him
as we come to love. He is a fact, but
spiritual fact, and spiritual fact is
not to be taken between the fingers of
the mind, as one takes an event of his
tory or a phenomenon in physics.
All we can do with a spiritual truth
is to adjust ourselves to it. We can
only agree to 1t, acknowledge ii, and
act as if it existed.
In other words, God is to be realized,
rather than known. There's a sensible
difference. You can tell a boy it does
not pay to lie or to get drunk, and
then he knows it; but 1t is only when
he afterwards, either by experience
or by example, by suffering the conse-
quences of his own or another's folly,
realizes the truth, it is only then that
he may be said to have it; it has be-
come his.
When you tell a child fire burns, he

DENOMINATION DUE TAFT.

Today at Chicago marks the climax
of one of the greatest contests in the
history Of the republican party, The
sorry spectacle is presented of an ex-
president Of the United States foist-
ing himself upon the people for third
term and going to the convention city
for the purpose Of soliciting his own
nomination. Precedent and self-re-
spect have been thrown aside by
Roosevelt in his wild fight to defeat
the president for denomination No
other man, after the repeated declara
ton Of the people, would have consid-
cred running for a third term. after
having had two terms in the White
house. But what cares the Colonel,
who breaks his solemn promises,
stands for demagogic measures, con-
ducts a campaign Of vituperation and
assault, crawls from his avowed posi-
ton for the sake of votes, ISLANDERS the
national committee, and then. finding
himself beaten, preys on the delegates
of his opponent to defeat the will OF
the people, so long as he can get the
coveted nomination? This is the type
of man that is seeking to make him
self president of the United States for
the third term, and his actions dem
onstrated the wisdom of letting ex-
presidents stay where they are
The same intrigue which has, existed
from the start was continued to the
time Of the convention, and to induce
the rush to the Colonel the same
foundationless claims were issued in
the fight for delegates and the keeping
up of false pretenses which have char
acterized the campaign.
President Taft deserves the renomf-
nation and he has the delegates who
represent a majority Of the people in
thinking so, money and promises not
withstanding. He is entitled to sec
ond term by his efficient administra-
ton and adherence to his party plat
form, a characteristic which does not
hold true with his opponent. 1t is the
duty Of the republican party to re-
nominate and re-elect President Taft.
