THE OLYMPIAN GAMES.

NJ H ceremony and pomp the great Olympic games of 1912
WY were opened at Stockholm today. The flower of the
athletic youth of Europe and America is there to con-
tend in friendly rivalry for the worlds prizes and honors and
emulate the exploits of the heroes of classic Greece. The revival
Of the ancient Olympian games is a benefit to the modern world.
1t brings the nations together in a way to promote the brother
hood of mankind, it inculcates the athletic spirit and encourages
young men to take care of their bodies and avoid the excuses
that undermine physical health. The American team at Stock
holm is composed of young men of perfect physique, due to careful
abstinence from harmful food and drink and temperate lives as
well as physical exercise and training. A nation of such men
would be invincible in all the arts of peace as well as in war. 1t
would be in the van of the worlds progress. And every worlds
Olympic increases the army of athletes. Prospective future
competitors for places on American Olympic teams can now be
numbered by the thousands. And the standard of American
athletics constantly advances. Every Olympic team is better
than it's predecessor, and the best of all is the team now at
Stockholm.

TRUE ENJOYMENT

What constitutes recreation depends. of
course, on the point Of view of the one
who is recreated. This anecdote from
the Troy Times shows what one small
citizen thought enjoyable:
A boy in a certain State school for de-
pendent children wrote his father thus:
Dear Papa-We children are having a
good time here now. Mr.. Sager broke
his leg and can't work. We went to a
picnic and it rained and we all got wet.
Many children here are sick with mumps.
Mr.. Higgins fell of the wagon and broke
his rib, but he can work a little. The
man that is digging the deep well
whipped AIS boys with a buggy whip
because we threw sand in his machine,
and made black and blue marks on us.
Ernest cut his finger badly. We are all
very happy."-Youth's Companion.

THE CHANGES OF FOUR YEARS.

THHE last four years have witnessed wonderful changes in
II politics, and we are only yet in a transition period. What
will be the changes in the next four years? In 1908 Taft
was elected by a phenomenal majority and the Republican party
was united. Aldrich ruled the Senate and Cannon the House.
The Democrats were a protesting minority. Nearly all the
Northern and Eastern States had Republican governors and
legislatures. There were no signs of a revolt in the Republican
party, and the term progressive had not been coined in politics.
Who would have dreamed in 1908 of the Chicago convention
in 1912? What possible chance appeared for Democratic vic
tory in 1912? Who could have foresaw in 1908 that New York,
Maine, West Virginia and other Republican States would be
represented in the Senate by Democrats in 1912? The seemingly
impossible has happened in the last four years. What may we
not expect to see at the end of another four years?

New Market Versus canal.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
To my way of thinking, 1t would DC
advisable to consider cautiously the
erection of a new Centre Market on
the site of the old n over the n
It would at least seem good poilcy
to wait and see what disposition Inc
use will be made of the canal.
There is a great deal of talk ABOUT
the congestion at the -Four Corners
and the opening of a broad thorough
fare over the canal route between
Broad street and the Pennsylvania
depot would do much to relieve the
present crowded condition at o
and Market streets.
Is it not possible hat the location
of the new Centre Market right In
the centre of a possible thorough
fare of this kind would be very re-
grettable later on?
The market could be located at the
side of the street, where 1t belongs,
and leave plenty of room for a wide
street. Some of the ramshackle build
ings in that. locality could be most
advantageously sacrificed as a loca-
ton for the new city market.
At any rate, the future need of the
canal for traffic purposes should not
be forgotten while the present need
of a new market is being considered.

SENATOR CUMMINS DRAWS BACK.

O. ENATOR CUMMINS, of Iowa, has a reputation as a Pro
~ gressive, but when it comes to cutting loose from old
party %shibboleths for the sake of carrying out his pro-
gressive principles he balks. He would rather keep his seat in
the old organization and theorze and critcse than try to carry
out progressive reforms in the new. If Senator Cummins had
lived during the period of the French Revolution he would have
been numbered among those academic reformers who imbibed
the spirit of the struggle for American liberties and favored
governmental reforms in France and who drew back afrighted
as soon as the people began to give their theories a practical ap-
plication. Throughout history types of character reproduce
themselves in the worlds politics. Mankind can be divided into
great tribes, the radical, the ultra radical, the conservative and
rhe ultra conservative, and these again are divided by finer dis
tinctions such as that of the conservative radical, of which Sen
ator Cummins is a type. n

WILL THE TARIFF ISSUE DOMINATE?

1TaO what extent the question of tariff protection will figure in
II the national campaign cannot now be determined. Not
until the campaign is well under way will its effect be
seen. Regular Republican policy will be to harp on the tariff
and make the issue of protection oyershadow everything else.
Democratic policy will be to identify the tariff with the trusts
and the high cost of living. Third party policy will advocate
reasonable protection, recognizing the protective principle in the
tariff and treat the trust question separately, holding that the
remedy is federal control and not suppression, real or pretended.
The voters of the country have not yet taken the time to study the
party platforms and probably most of them will know what the
platform declarations are only when read to them by campaign
speakers.

FEEDING sixty-fve miles an hour through a fog Engineer
- Schroeder, of train No. II on the Lackawanna railroad
plunged his engine into a crowded excursion train halted
on the track. He says he did not see the warnings set for him.
There is a suggestive similarity in his case to that of Captain
Smith, of the Titanic. The steamship had three warnings of an
ice field ahead. The vessel was being driven at record speed.
Instead of slowing down Captain Smith increased the speed and
bindly kept on until the shock came that cost the lives of 1000
people. Engineer Schroeder was running his train in a fog so
dense that, as he ayers, he was unable to see signals. When
he perceived the lights of the passenger train his speed was so
great that he could not stop the train in time to avoid disaster
Why run a train at the rate of sixty-fve miles an hour through
a fog? Why run an ocean liner, loaded with people, at top speed
through a field of icebergs? The criminal recklessness that
takes such chances is akin to the spirit of murder.

a SECOND JULY RAILROAD SLAUGHTER.

IN MOTHER railroad calamity is recorded today the crashing
lA together of two trains on the Ligonier Valley railroad at
Latrobe, Pa, with twenty-five people killed and nearly
two-score injured. In this case the collision was a head-on one
on a singletrack road, and the deadly work was done by a heavy
freight erfgine. The human element which was responsible for
the disaster at Corning, N. Y, was In evidence in this accident,
too. There was a misunderstanding of signals. And both engine
crews paid the penalty of their fatal error by their deaths.
