Regulating the Wireless.

From the Baltimore Sun.
There were two wireless operators on
the Titanic Both remained at their
post until the deck was awash and the
captain told them to save themselves
Phillips died Of exposure in the icy sea
Bride had both his feet frostbitten and
barely saved his life. Gotham was the only
operator on the Carapthia. He worked
or rest. The German ship Frankfort re-
cording to the testimony, but did not go
to the relief Of the Titanic. The Cali
fornia must have been near by. for she
sent iceberg warnings Sunday at 5. only
few hours before the disaster. The
only vessel that reached the spot in time
to pick up the survivors was the Car
pathia. Gotham was preparing to go to
bed, but concluded to keep the Office open
ten minutes more. If Gotham had gone
to bed, those in the boats might have
been left floating about on the open sea
for days until some steamer found them
This and other incidents connected with
the loss Of the Titanic evidence the need
of strict regulation. The wireless Is no
longer an experiment, but an invaluable
relief agency to be utilized to the fullest
extent. Representative Alexander has in
troduced a bill to insure uninterrupted
wireless service day and night all the
year between vessels at sea and the
American coast. to make distress calls
effective, to prevent interference" by
private stations, to prevent monopoly and
join with other nations In strict regula-
ton OF this method of communication.

for some effective Intervention on the
part of the government. Just why the
Erdman act has not been invoked to
bring the two sides together has not APP
peared. The federal authority might
perhaps have been effectively applied to
put an end to q situation that, IL 1t de-

in the country. Fifty railroads are in

$4,000 out OF the total railroad mileage
Of 237, 600 miles in the United States. On
these fifty railroads is concentrated 81
per cent Of the entire traffic Of the coun-

than one-half OF the country's business.
This il a tremendous responsibility for
any organization or any combination OF
corporations to assume. 1t means not
only loss of money values, but probable
loss of life. 1t means the decentralization
Of train services. with the invocation of
the irrepressible elements that in every
strike adopt force as an argument and
aim at the innocent in order to coerce an
adjustment.
Remembering the great strike Of 1877

railroad mileage in this country and that

mails and the courts interviewed with
writs of injunction, the prospect of gen

serious dislocation of business. Time re-
mains before the men actually leave their
engines to secure an adjustment, or at
least a temporary working agreement
pending some settlement Of the issues.

4 most important meeting il being held
in Washington today. more than 100 del
egates coming from all parts Of the coun-
try to attend the sessions Of the National
Commercial Conference, representing ia
separate organizations. The purpose is
to effect the permanent organization Of a
central body standing for the actual man
ufacturing interests Of the United States.
The government Is taking keen interest
in this movement. the Secretary Of the
Department Of Commerce and Labor him
self calling the conference to order to-
uay and appointing committees, while the
President of the United States addressed
the delegates. The fact that this con-
ference is the direct result OF suggestions
By these high officers Of the federal adj
ministration gives this conference semi-
official stamp that is certain to be Of
value in developing it as q real repre-
sentative of the Industrial interests of the
United States.
Not only is ii important that the gov
eminent should thus foster and stimulate
the manufacturing industries by bringing
their representatives together into an
organization that will serve as a clearing
house OF ideas. 1t is undoubtedly the de-
sire of every manufacturer in the United
States TO expand his business. He will
find that through cooperation with the
governmental agencies he can extend the
trade, improve his methods and thereby
increase his profits. For years the United
States government has through it's publ
cations been offering suggestions to the
producers of goods Of all kinds and urg-
ing their attention to foreign markets and
better ways of cultivating them. Use
has been made OF such facilities to q de-
plorabfy small extent. Meanwhile. other
countries have gone forward and occu-
pied fields that should have been open to
American manufacturers and shippers.
Possibly some such organization ~ that
which Is now being effected is necessary
to give full value to the services OF the
government by awakening the manu-
facturers to a realization Of their oppor-
tunities.

The Search for the Facts.

A week has passed since. the Titanic
sank at sea with over 1900 persons, a
week of great suffering for multitude
of people. Of intense anxiety followed by
sickening certainty of loss. The worst Is
now known and the present task Is to
ascertain the responsibility for the dis
aster. The United States government,
acting with commendable promptness and
vigor. has instituted an inquiry that
promises to disclose as much of the facts
as may now be ascertainable. The men
of the Titanic who survived and who are
likely to be acquainted with the circum-
stances have been brought to Washing
ton, together with the managing director
and the vice president Of the company.
and are now being examined. There Is
no occasion for excitement, but. on the
contrary, the time is at hand for calmness
and deliberate Judgment.
1 This is not a question of personality,
but of official responsibility. Whether
Mr.. Ismay comported himself bravely or
otherwise, whether he was considerable
or selfish. whether he did all that could
be done to lessen the disaster or by his
individual behavior contributed to 1t. all
this is a matter of the smallest conse-
quence compared with such questions as
the handling of the Titanic before and
after she was struck. As for Mr.. 1smay,
he is entitled to the right to defend him.
SELF Senator McCumber on Saturday
| called for fair play and asked that the
man be heard before condemnation and
execution. 1t is unfortunate that such a
plea should have been rendered necessary
by the haste shown in some quarters to
brand him before the world. 1t does not
comport with the American sense of fair
ness and justice to convict this man
without proof, and it is to be hoped that
Judgment will be suspended until the in
iquiry is concluded.
But in any case the question as to Mr..
lIsmay does not reach the matter at issue,
except 1t be shown that he undertook to
interfere in the management Of the ves-
sell: that he, as representing the owning
company, caused her to be speeded dan
gerously through the Ice field, or that he
checked the preparations for the saving
of as many passengers @ the limited
equipment Of lifeboats permitted. What
the Senate committee Is endeavoring to
learn Is how far the warnings OF ice
ahead reached the Titanic, how far they
were regarded or ignored, how efficient
was the watch for possible danger. how
great was the speed and how large or
small the margin Of safety in all the cir
eumstances judged from all known con-
ditions. This is matter OF legal
responsibility. possibly bearing upon the
liability Of the company for damages.
1t is q much more serious question than
the sentimental issue Of whether this man
or that man bore himself in the hour Of
peril courageously or meanly. and to
reach the true conclusion requires dis
ma ssionate consideration Of all the facts.

Contests at Chicago.

The republican nat onal committee will
give two weeks instead of one to hearing
contests at Chicago. II could we'll anord
to give three if three were necessary. Let
the work he we'll done, and all the details
Of why contests have been Instituted and
under whose inspiration be laid bare
There is more than suspicion that some
hing interesting awaits industrious prob
ing.
Contests we have always had with us.
They inhere in strenuous politics. At
conventions and in primaries when men
grapple for control things are sometimes
Zone in heat and haste which should be
reviewed by tribunal sitting in calm
and for the purpose of doing the square
thing by the warning factions. And so
strenuous is politics that even such re-
viewing tribunals have not always es-
capped criticism.
but this year the republican contests
are unusually numerous and unusually
bitter. All sections show them. States
where there is practically no republican
party. as we'll as states where that party
often controls, are on the list for atten-
tion at Chicago There is almost the
suggestion of a business in contests-a
sort of organized industry.
And the national committee will per-
form a most valuable service II 1t will
give full time and close inspection to the
contests from the south Everything re-
lating to them should be exposed. Let US
have the names of those responsible for
them, as we'll as the names of those
figuring openly in the transactions.
Another matter of interest is the re-
port that some of the southern delegates
Taft will bolt their instructions at Chi
cago and vote for Mr.. Roosevelt. The
reason given is that the conventions
which instructed them were held early.
and at time when belief was general
that Mr.. Roosevelt would not be cam
didate.
There was such a time. and it continued
until we'll into the winter. While it con-
tinued, Mr.. Roosevelt was quoted as
discouraging all suggestions of his name.
and declaring that his candidacy would
be party calamity. Then, suddenly. he
changed his mind, and SHE'D his castor
into the ring.
But that is neither here nor there. Con-
ventions regularly held and instructions
regularly given are binding, and delegates
d -sres arding them ut Chicago will do 80
at some risk to their regulations. The
profession Of personal preference for
Mr.. Roosevelt over Mr.. Taft will not ex-
plain the change Of base satisfactorily to
the country.

Mr. Gardner Is speaking Of Mr.. Roose-

been an admirer and supporter OF the
man. The policies for which Mr.. Roose-

opposite kind Of deal. and Mr. Gardner
resests the treatment accorded the Presi-
dent. That completed his break with
his former leader. and now he wants to

Don't Forget the House Fly.

From the Cleveland Leader.
The first few consecutive days Of warm
spring weather will soon be here. With
them will appear the house flies that
have survived the winter. Then il the
time to begin systematic warfare on
them. Flies breed In decaying refuse.
The long snowbound winter has preserv-
ed the cast-otf organic matter that has
been left In back yards. alleys and other
little used places during . period Of 1--WE
months. With the going OF the snow and
ice 1t Is left exposed to the sun for de-
composition. This In itself is menace
to health. But. more dangerous still, II
produces the advance guard of the myri-
sd army OF hies that spread disease
during the warm months. The back
yards. alleys and vacant lots should be
cleaned up promptly. The effort put forth
to do this will be very small compared
with the discomfort and sickness Il will
avert. And don't forget to swst the fly
from the start. One ny killed In early
spring Is equivalent to . million killed
in August.
