true that in general way this sway

OPENING THE sprGor OF VIRTUE.

We can offer no plea for man In public posi-
Especially is this true when his employment
Involves the handling OF money. the execution
of trust Cleanliness of life and regularity OF
habit are in such cases the sine qua non Of
fitness.
Nevertheless we could wish that there might
be something more to the charges upon which
Postmaster Smith. of Manchester. was forced to
resign No matter what its attitude is. or ought
to be, the Government does not as rule set
itself up as moral censor. This attitude. in
fact, is and has long been reproach on the
Governments way OF conducting its business.
So long as an official sat tight voted the ticket.
and served his party. he given a clean bill
of health.
1t is understood that Mr.. Smith admits betting
On races and prize fights. II is also understood
that somebody behind the charges has obtained
bis private check book and his personal letters
to the end of their substantiation. Mr.. Smith
resigns, because the game became too strong
know, however, what II was that excited this
sudden scruple Of the Government
Postmasters and other public officials galore
separate entirely their personal lives from their
official positions. That is their affair and the
affair OF the Government. The point is that the
Manchester official is not so much In the minority
as to deserve the conspicuity which has been
thrust upon him. While are quite ready
to agree that man who makes a practice Of
private gambling II not fit man to be post
master: sense of what is elemental justice die
tates the reflection that the use of such charge
n a specific case may be made the engine OF the
rankest sort Of injustice and hypocrisy.
We are ignorant of the political crime which
Mr.. Smith has committed. but it is quite evil
dent that it something that he has done,
which offended the administration or the local
oligarchy of Republican oflce-holders and which
caused his official downfall. An access OF virtue
such is made the excuse for his retirement
from the Civil Service is nevertheless foreign
to all practice and precedent. Mr. Smith Is a
victim to circumstances 1t would be fine
thing If the rule applied In his case could be
made the rule to apply in all cases.

WITH THE BAND PLAYING.

1t seems impossible to get away from the
Titanic disaster. The band. we are informed.
stood to the last playing Nearer My God. to
than that the band was composed of brave men.
1t means that the quality of courage is capable
of control.
BY this we mean to say that there is great
reserve force OF nobility. Cowardice Is fire.
Quenty nothing more than the wanton child Of
spirit face the facts that are left like
4 real hero. Without reflection on the magnif.
cent dicipline of the band that played while
death beckened we leave it to the Imagination
to discover how men who knew they had to die
would choose to die.
After all. courage is a relative term No one.
In fact. except the occasional brute who glories
In fight, has It, Its manifestations are, for
all that. varied and peculiar The explanation
Is that courage IL mind. 1t is soul" 1t is
pride, and self-respect. and the determination
not to be self-debased. There Is type of man
who Is fit for anything, so long as he can have
clean linen. BY all the rules he Is vagabond
outside OF his white collar, his shining boots.
Bring this man to the edge of dirty linen. and
you have suicide on your hands. In a larger
way II was some such spirit of personal decency
that made heroes out of the Tifaaic's band and
out of her passengers. Many OF those who went
down IN all nobility would probably have bar
tered an hetnity iof the privilege OF being saved
Seeing the spectre OF the comment that would
AmYfx
follow the fruitless effort of self preservation.
they remained calm in the heroic personifica-
tion OF herosm they perhaps did not know.
Such men go with the band playing" Be-
cause 1t 1t dramatic. 1t does not mean that it is
not life.

UNLEASH THE WIRELESS.

IL anything could aggravafe the suffering anu
agony attending the sinking of the Titanic, 1t
would be the attitude of the White Star Line
IN refusing to give out news they came In
possession of it. 1t seems that 1t cannot be
doubted that the owners of the great ship knew
Of her sinking hours before the fact was given
&c the public. 1t is even more certain that. pre-
sumably acting under instructions. the Carpa-
this Of the Cunard line maintained rigid
silence while the whole world waited In sus-
pense. From first to last the attitude OF the
ocean-carrying corporations was one of secrecy.
where il should have been one of instant pub
Iicity.
II In perhaps good thing that these ships
that ply between countries are under the con-
troll Of Congress. Congress is in session. and 1t
has pienary powers. 1t can do what 1t pieases
and 1t can make it's regulations stick The spec
tacle Of thousands ON Thousands Of human be-
ings torn with apprehension while corpora
ton withheld the news of life and death calls
for immediate attention. No corporation in this
day can escape the fact that 1t is not suficient
to itself Its individuality never more of
. fiction. The public Is entitled TO know exactly
the statue of the relation that the corporations
catering creates.
A few years ago it was the custom OF railway
ofActals to suppress news of wrecks The clerk
who gave out information was at once given
the can In the face OF disaster mystery was
considered the balm and palliative What was
the result Not only were the separate wrecks
exaggerated. but the public at large gained the
Inevitable impression that there gross negl
gence In every case OF collision or accident. Why
else the secrecy the clap-trap. the mystery?
II took the railroads long while to discover
their error. but when they did realize 1t, they
made every possible amend Today when a
rumor comes Of wreck on railroad the quick
est source OF information. the place of fullest
detail. is the railroad Offices
This new idea of corporate duty Ia even more
necessary on the sea than on land. It Ia now
evident that no ship can be built which will re-
move the old-time perils of ocean travel Les
p.te the wonder Of the wireless, those on the
deep are still to a great extent out Of touch and
out OF sound. In spite OF all the Inventions Of
science. the sea still realizes the mystery that
Is pictured upon Its face To catch Its tragic
secrets and hold them away from the yearning
hearts on shore is simply to build up a day of
Inevitable wrath
What Congress will or ought to do about. the
tragedy OF the Titanic must, of course wait on
the particular testimony which Is not yet avail.
