An Innovation That Made Good.

The address from the throne" has come to stay.
John Sharp Williams and other old-fashioned JEFF
fersonians were dumfounded when they learned
that President Wilson intended to deliver in person
his first message to the two houses of Congress.
They saw the foundations of the temple of liberty
rocking and deplored the return 10 a supposed mon
archical precedent which Washington set but Jeffer-
son firmly discarded.
Evidently however, the public around Washington
wants to see the foundations rock. When Mr.. VIII
son appeared yesterday in the hall Of the House Of
Representatives TO discharge his thoughts cur
rency in a human and heartto-heart manner he
welcomed by unusual manifestations Of popular In
terest in the personal visitation experiment Wash
ington dispatches say that hundreds stood in the
rain outside the Capitol In the hope Of getting adj
mission TO the free gallery and that the rush to pre-
sent reserved gallery tickets great that sub
way ticket chopping boxes had to be installed Here
is another step lively precedent set to grieve the
hearts OF the bucolic school Of Jefersonans.
The public likes the address from the throne"
just because it is more human, more personal and
more effective than the prosy and neglected written
message President Wilson has a keen sense Of what

What Is Justice Between Friends 80?

The explanation offered for the postponement OF
the San Francisco white slave" cases is one that
does not explain Certainly Attorney General Nc
Reynolds cannot be benefited by the admission OF
Secretary Wilson Of the Department OF Labor that
he requested the postponement as a matter Of per-
sonal convenience to him and TO his subordinate the
new Commissioner General Of immigration.
The sO-called courtesy Of the Senate" has been
stretched to cover multitude Of legislative omis-
sions but those omissions have affected business
legdtimately before the Senate Is a courtesy
OF the Cabinet" he established which will not only
regulate the transaction of business before the Cab
net but stretch its arm from Washington TO Cali
forna TO interfere with the administration Of the
federal courts2
Secretary Wilson has exhibited the courage Of in
nocence in assuming responsibility for an unwar-
ranted interference with the course Of justice
He may not have realized that he was compromising
the Attorney General by making his improper re-
quest But Mr.. McReynods is an experienced lawyer
and should have had high enough conception Of his
professional and official obligations to turn down the
Secretary Of Labors indscreet plea. That he did
not do 50 is serious impeachment Of his fitness to
be Attorney General which his present fippant atti-
tude in regard to this trng with justice only makes

BRAKES ON FAST TRAINS
They Are Ineffective as Applied
Under the Present Practice.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir Referring 10 the recent accident
on the New Haven road. IL is we'll To
here call attention 10 a fact which al
though IL has been demonstrated quite "A
number Of times. has apparently been
completely overlooked I'm the investiga-
ton OF this regrettable accdent--the
question is the holding power of brakes.
Using a braking member. or brake
shoe. applied TO the periphery OF the
wheel has been the common railway prac-
tice since the days OF Stephenson. and I'm
his day IL was undoubtedly copied from
the brake used In connection with horse
drawn vehicles, and while this character
of brake was effective when the trains
were light and the speed was relatively
slow. It does not follow that this method is
equally effective under modern conditions.
The periphery OF the wheel has re-
manned practically the same. The size and
length OF the brake-shoe have remained
practically the same. and while il is true
that under the heavier cars the number
Of wheels TO which the brake is applied
has been increased from eight to twelve, the
weight and the speed at which these cars
travel have increased In a much greater
proportion. and tests conducted on the
Southern Pacific Railway in Southern
California, as we'll as tests conducted OH
other roads. have indicated that the brake
area at present in use on heavy trains OF
Pullman cars travelling at the rate Of
speed at which modern trains are expect
ed to travel Is insufficient to promptly re-
tard the speed OF such a train under con-
ditions which call for an emergency APP
plcation OF the brakes. II has been
found that when an emergency applica-
ton OF brakes is made to one OF these
heavy trains, travelling under even mod
erately high velocity. the train receives
shock at the first application OF the brakes
Immediately thereafter the surface OF the
brake-shoe melts. and from s5 10 so per
cent OF the braking effect IL lost. as the

How 10 Keen Cool.

This is the Of the year when the heaIth
experts roll up their sleeves, order an extra mint
tulep and sit down tell other people how to Keep
cool Dr. Carl Alsberg. for example, chief of the
United States Bureau of Chemistry, thus advises;
Don't eat to
Don't too many clothes
Don't drink ice-cold beverages.
Don't look at the thermometer and keep thinNns
how hot IL is.
This is old and good. But why do the experts
stop with such moderate demands? Why not carry
the rules to their logical conclusion? For instance
Dr. Alsbergs formula would be far more efhcacious
if II read thus:
Don't eat at all.
Don't anything.
Don't drink a drop.
Stop thinking altogether.
This last is not only logical 1t is, in our humble
and inexpert opinion, the only really reliable way
10 keep cool.

sand such commuters, and all OF them

may be. almost as vital as life Itself. To
individually present these interests before

itself or TO an Official delegation Of the
community such as the Public Service
