THE BRITISH TITANIC REPORT

THE BRITISH TITANIC REPORT.
The findings Of the court that in
quired into the loss Of the Titanic, on
behalf Of the British board Of trade,
are a surprise to the American public.
The spirit in which the investigation
seemed TO be carried on and the COM
ments of the London press on the
United States senates inquiry into
the disaster led to the general be-
lief in this country that the result
Of the British inquiry would be mere
ly a defense OF the owners, builders
and officers of the ship and the board
Of trade itself.
But, on the contrary, the report
OF the court is substantially the same
as that OF the senate investigating
committee. couched in more formal,
phlegmatic terms. In substance, the
court finds that the Titanic was be-
ing run at an excessive rate Of speed
through the ice foes, that the look
out was inadequate and that the life
boats were not properly manned and
equipped. And attention is called TO
the fact that there had been no life
boat drill on the ship.
The recommendations of the court
are important They are that the
number OF lifeboats and life RATS
shall be based on the number Of pas
sengers and crew carried, that ocean
liners shall be constructed with a
double Skin" or outer shell, or with
/ longitudinal bulkheads, that there
shall be a sight test for lookouts,
that there shall be a system for the
control of passengers in case of acct
dent, and that captains shall be re-
quired to reduce speed when in the
neighborhood OF ice.
Little is said by the court concern
/ ing the conduct of ]. Bruce Ismay
and Sir Cosmo Duff-Gordon. 1t does
not censure them, nor is there any
urgent reason why ii should. The YER
dict of the world concerning both
has already been returned and It is
based not on the opinions of inves-
tigatOrs. but on the facts they dis,
covered
While the wording of the report is
mild, the statements it contains con.
stitute an arraignment practically as
severe as that embodied in the sen,
ate's findings. And it will accomplish
more good than the senate verdict
For in England a formal inquiry such
as this carries more weight than il
does in this country. English ship
owners are likely to give heed TO tbs
courts criticisms and recommends

Admittedly, it is a contest, therefore,
between Taft and Wilson.
We do not believe Taft has a
chance, so every voter who wants to
effectively register his vote against
Taft, against his fraudulent nomin-
aiion, against the bosses and in favor
of a progressive candidate and plat
form should support Governor Wood
row Wilson.

A S a general thing the man who en-
joys a vacation is the gleeful imp
who gloats over the sunburn and brier
scratches and poison ivy of the man
who has just returned from his yearly
jamboree.
The nerve strain that they don't
have is what gives lots of women
nervous prostration.
The trouble Is that so many people
who can't come back do so.
Perhaps your breakfast did disagree
with you. but don't take it out on the
public.
A holiday is an invention by means
Of which the public may incapacitate
itself for a considerable length Of
time.
Getting acquainted with necessity is
a social process that none of US enjoy.
Some people are so sensitive You can
hardly get a good joke on them at all
without offending them, especially if it
costs them much.
Agreeable people are those who al
ways want to do what we want to do,
and the more they insist on doing 1t
our way the more agreeable they are.
The man who spends his time trying
to differentiate himself from other
people generally succeeds-without
pleasing anybody.
