Inspection of Small Boats.

Adequate inspection is to be made of
the numerous small privately owned
craft that glide or chug-chug up and
down the Potomac and it's tributary
rivers and creeks. The bureau of naviga-
ton has taken UP the matter since the
Lotus-Angler collision. which cost two
lives, and the inspection will be thorough.
The. crew of the power launch which
the navigation bureau is to set going on
the river will conduct an educational
campaign in the interest of ignorant or
Indifferent persons vino operate small
boats. 1t will be assured that the boats
are equipped as required by the regula-
tions. with lights. fog bell, horn, life
preservers and other safety accessories
Private navigators will be instructed in
the meaning of signals in use by river
men and it will be determined that the
river amateurs know how to steer.
All of which is an excellent move and
ought to diminish the element of risk
which the small boatmen too frequently
take.

Danish the Ticker.

One feature of festival or ceremonial
throngs that jam the streets of Washing
ton and which should be abated is the
ticker. 1t is indecorous. 1t is Of
fensve to most persons, especially to
women. against whom it is most used.
1t Is. a license that easily descends to
rowdyism. 1t is a means of sport
quickly adopted by hoodlums. Four
teen men were fined So each in the Police
Court yesterday for using ticklers Satur-
day night in a disorderly fashion.
Outside of the bad manners the ticker
encourages it is menace to health. To
brush the faces of many persons with
the same feather buster tends to spread
disease. The chief aim of the diversion
is to tickle the nose or the lips, of men
and women as they pass along the crowd
ed streets and the transference of dis
ease germs is an easy matter.
1t is reported that in some cities the
use of the ticker is, prohibited. The pro-
hibtion lies against the makers who
ship them into a city and against the
vendors who sell them in the streets and
shops. This seems to establish goou
precedent, and the next time a great
crowd of strangers comes to Washington
the ticker should not be in evidence.

Indiana.

And so the Taft Big Four from Indiana
stand approved. Not vote recorded
against them in the national committee.
So passes away another bowling Roose-
welt contenti--a
That -, t:Aye of oyster Bay was
robbed Al Indianapolis has been asserted
with vehemence for months Just wait
until the facts could be presented before
the proper tribunal. Then the wrong
would be riGhted. Then MIR. Roosevelt S
cause would be strengthened. not only by
the Hoosier votes but by the rebuke
that would thus be administered to fraud.
Well, the facts have been presented.
The Roosevelt case prepared by
competent lawyers. and heard with at
tention. And il was so fiimsy il found
not single supporter on the committee.
This decision is of the greater impor-
lance by reason of the fact that ii Sc
cures to the Chicago convention the serv-
ices OF former Vice President Fairbanks.
His seat was among those contested, and
he triumphs with his associates.
1t happens. too. that Mr.. Fairbanks is
under consideration for the chairman
ship OF the platform committee. That
post should be filled by man who COM
nlands general respect for character
observation-disclosures and conservatism, and
MIR. Fairbanks is of that description.
We should begin now TO hear good
deal about the platform The party S
appeal must be strong in that particular
plain statement. not only of what has
been done in the past three years, but
what is in contemplation for the imme-
date future if the record is Endorsed next
November, is demanded. No mere phrase
making would answer. The voters will
care they have not always bestowed on
such deliverances
IL AIR. Ropt IS chosen to preside over
the convention and Mr. Fairbanks over
the platform committee, the republicans
will make bid at Chicago for the sup
port OF both the conservative and the
progressive voters of the country. They
are men of eminence in law and politics
They assisted MIR. Roosevelt by good
counsel in much that he accomplished
while he was President. They are as
stanch republicans today as at any time
IN their lives. Not a single man now sup
porting Mr.. Roosevelt tops them In claims
upon party confidence or general respect
And how many such men equal them?
So far the national committee has
shown good Judgment in all it's steps 1t
has declined a wrangle with Mr.. Roose-
welt. 1t has given sound reasons for it's
stand in the contests decided, and il has
recommended thoroughly fit men for the
work which must make or mar the con-
vention as an expression of active and ag-
sressive republicanism.
