THE STAMFORD WRECK CASE.

When the late Stamford wreck on the New
Haven was investigated, it was found that an mex
perienced engineer was responsible. He didn't know
how to handle the arbrakes a fast and heavy
train.
The railroad company fairly galloped forward
with this explanation, in order to exonerate itself.
Anybody could see that the corporation could not
be responsible. The engineer, who was guilty of
the frightful crime of not having run passenger
trains before, plainly ought to be locked up.
Certainly? There would be no drownings worth
while if people positively forbidden not to 60
near the water until they were accomplished SWIM
mers.
The railroads defense is brushed aside by the
Interstate Commerce report on the wreck. The
railroad management was responsible, and solely
responsible, for putting an engineer thus ill
equipped in charge of such a train. 1t could no,
have been done on other roads 1t need not have
been done on the New Haven. The union did not
require anything of the sort To shunt off the re-
sponsibility on either the unfortunate engineer or
the union to which he belonged will not be allowed
The bad administration of the road is held to be
alone responsible.

THE 2 PER CENT BONDS.

Back in 1908, when the Vreeland.Aldrich emer.
gency currency measure was before Congress- one
of the chief topics of discussion provision fol
the per cent Government bonds, by which the
banks holding them should not be forced to shoulder
heavy loss. That discussion developed evidence OF
quite too much unreasoning hostility toward the
banks which held these securities There was sur.
prisngly general disposition to retort that it was no
business of the Government to take care of the
banks.
1t was, however in that case, very much the
Governments business. The per cents could never
have been foated and maintained at anything like
par but for their privilege of being used as basis
for national bank circulation. That away that priv
ilege, and they would be plain 2 per cent bonds,
which in per cent bond market could not possibly
be kept at par.
1t would be a case of governmental grand larceny
to abandon the per cent bonds in the hands of the
banks which bought them the faith of their avail
ability for currency issues II would the credit
of this Government, and make moneyed men, not
only here but abroad fearful of taking chances in
future on the pledges of this Government.
Surely, our national good faith cannot stand such
an aspersion Going back to the reputation of the
Panama canal treaty with Britain, to the Govern
ment's failure to carry out its pledges under the
q
of the French spoliation claims, to quite too many
incidents that have demonstrated careessness about
obligations that ought to have been esteemed sacred
and it surely will be realized that to abandon the
per cent bonds would be fragrant breach of simple
honesty.
For hundred years and much longer we have
debated the question of Hamilton's assumption Of
the debts of colonies and confederation and their
nayment in full even when thew we're in the hands
of spectators who had little Of investment and less
of moral claim Yet the Government did assume
and did pay in full. We have been proud of that
fact. 1t gave the young republic standing in the
world of affairs that nothing else could have pro-
duced Is possible that today any respectable ele
ment in this country would advise the nation Of a
hundred million people and far beyond hun
dred billions of wealth. to reverse that splendid
tradition and shoulder off upon the national
banks a sheer loss upon investment which
they made absolutely on the faith and credit
of the nation? 1t is unthinkable. The per cent
bonds are not to be abandoned because this nation
does not approve that sort of operations.

sion. There is general agreement on essen
tals that it seems certain great disaster has over
taken the aggressive Bulgar arms and that Greece
and Servia the vctors in the trpartite warfare
that the Bulgars forced among the allies.
At the best it was prodigous folly for Bulgaria
to throw down the gage to Greece and Servia. They
overmatched her in nominal strength, and even if
they had fallen before her armies, there was almost
no chance for Bulgaria to gain substantial advan-
tages On every side she was hemmed in by i'm
placabe enemies. Roumania, on the north, was
playing the despicable waiting game that has been
her part from the beginning; waiting like flock OF
tuzzards, to pick the bones of the combatans when
they should have exhausted themselves Turkey was
far more antagonistc toward Bulgaria than toward
any other of the allies and should have been fore
seen that the Turk, given chance, would get back
into the fighting in the hope somewhat of avengng
himself against the despoiler that had taken Adrian
ope. Against Roumania, Turkey, and the states OF
Greece Montenegro, and Servia, Bulgaria had ab-
solutely nothing to hope for unless she expected to
set match to the European powder magazine.
Ferdinand and his eager advisers overreached
themselves. They attempted the gigantic task OF
making Bulgaria mean Bahama; of establishing
their suzerany of the whole peninsula at one blow;
of creating in fact new power of at least the second
class. 1t was more than human instruments could
accomplish in the circumstances, and now Bulgaria
is asking the powers to save her from her enemies

A DUTY BEFORE CONGRESS.

Congress is confronted with grave responsible
ty in connection with the threatened strike of 900
employees of Eastern railways.
There is no reason why either the tariff bill or
the currency bill need be imperied in the slightest
by united action of both houses in adding the amend
ments to the Erdman which will insure arbitra-
tion of the pending differences between the railroads
and the conductors and trainmen
No objection is urged against these amendments
which merely increase the number of arbitrators.
Experience has added the dissatisfaction with the
makeup of board in which one man has practically
the sole power of decision.
An industrial menace as serious as that of tie
up of transportation throughout the East subject
of more immediate concern than anything with which
Congress is now dealing.

"SAVING NEWPORT"

Still, we guess the hoi pollo will not care to 90

MR.. NEWMAN CONFIRMED.

The Senate Committee on the District of Colum-
ba today voted without dissent to confirm Oliver P
Newman as Commissioner, thus giving a -parti-
and undivided approval to the first choice OF
President Wilson. The committees vote presages
substantial certainty that the Senate will promptly
ratify.
That the nomination has been confirmed, after
the careful investigation made by the committee OF
the merely technical question raised against Mr..
Newman without dissent, shows how little of ground
existed for the objections. The District is to be con-
graduated on the fact that it will have Messrs. New
man and Siddons as Commissioners, and on the fact
that the President the Congressional committees, and
the Commissioners seem certain for once, to be in
harmony about both the policy and the personnel.
Washington looks out upon a new day, day of
progress and intelligence and modern understanding
of its peculiar administrative problems.

1t is just as well that the country doesn't take the
Stock Exchange very seriously these times On the
same day that the quotation exchange seats touched

and indicated that the general agricultural community
has got as far along as midsummer with nothing
thus far to warrant fear of anything more grave

because of the greas difficulty In pro-

When coal is discovered 1t is, natur-
af1y, far, far below the surface. First
of all deep shaft is dug Then men
are sent down in an iron cage to dig
tunnels radiating from that shaft
Great timber props are put In position
to keep the roofs Of these tunnels from
falling in; and tracks are run through
them. OF course it's as black as night
down there. The only lights permitted
are those on the miners caps They
are called safety lamps and the flame
Is covered with a piece Of fireproof

The miners usually lie on their sides
or backs and dig the coal from the
walls of the mine with small pickaxes
In some mines holes are drilled and
dynamite exploded. blowing the mass
Of coal to atoms This is a great
labor-saver.
Steam engines can't be used. on ac-
count of the fame necessary to run
them. So mules haul coal in a mine.
A truck loaded with coal Is hauled to

- OR several seasons 1t has been
- apparent that Individuality In
dfessmaking was constantly be-
coming a more Prominent fea-
ture. and II might be said now that
Individuality is the keynote of present
fashions. Even in the ready-made gar
ment It Is noticeable that there Is a
marked variety in the styles and no
longer do we see a dozen dresses, each
the fac-simile of the other. This should
stimulate the ready-to-wear trade since
the great objection to this class of gar
ments has thus been removed.
The clever home dressmaker can this
season give full reign to her ideas and
Introduce individuality into her cos
tunes. For instance. she can combine
materials for using a plain fabric for
the underskirt and a brocade for the
waist with the trimmings on the latter
Of the plain.
Crepe is the favorite fabric now, and
by using light weight for the waist.
such as chiffon crepe and the heavier
some beautiful effects are secured A
light colored skirt with a dark waist
Is another form or individuality and is
an excellent scheme in the making over
OF a gown.
When there is such a strong contrast
the waist with short coat extension is
preferred. An effective combination is
seen in pleated skirt of blue and
white serge in a shepherd check and an
extension bodice of plain blue with trim
mings OF the checked material.
The trimmings of a gown afford vast
possibilities for individuality. There are
the girdles and sashes, for instance.
The clever woman can display her
original ideas In the draping OF a girdle,
in the fashioning Of the bow or in the
adjustment of the sash.
The neck-fxings. too, especially afford
ample means for displaying individual
ity. A piece of silk. a bit of lace and
a strip of ribbon or velvet will do
wonders in this line. For the summer
frocks, remnants Of contrasting ma
terials will work in well as collars,
vests and cuffs. The displays in the
shops afford excellent suggestions for
this branch of the home dressmaking.
1t Is these little touches that give the
individuality to the costume and the
clever home dressmaker Is delighted to
be able to carry out her own ideas in
the comfortable assurance that she is
up to date and quite fashionable.
The woman who must practice econ
omy Is gratified that she can now find
ample use for the many leftover
lengths that have been waiting to
come in handy"
