Train Stops and Doubled Crews.

Ii was announced the other day that the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad Company had established a COM
petition for INSTRUMENTATION of an au-
tomato stop device for installation on it's
lines This was gratifying news TO those
who have been for years hoping for the
installation of some trustworthy me-
chanical or electric system of preventing
rear-end collisions on double-track roads
and head on collisions on single-track lines.
But although there are numerous devices
sufficiently developed to warrant practical
testing the railroads have never volun-
tarily until now moved for their adoption
and the United States. after an inconclu-
sive inquiry through the train control
board" has not taken the legislative ini-
tiative of compelling all interstate lines
to equip themselves with automatic stop
systems.
The fact that the New Haven road
is moving voluntarily may be sign Of
progressiveness or possibly of enlight-
ened selfishness. An interesting sugges-
ton is conveyed in this connection by
the fact that the New Haven road is just
at this moment joining with several other
large railroad corporations In vigorous

Europe Puzzled About America.

An American at home again after an
absence OF six months in Europe de-
clares that people over there are all
at sea about our affairs. All sorts OF
speculation-some of it very wild-is
heard Have we entered on an era OF
real radicalism? Is the old Constitu-
ton played out? Have We outgroWn
IL? Is it booked for the scrap heap?
And what is to take it's place?
Need we wonder at this? For years
we have been decrying ourselves. we
have abused our Presidents. Congress
after Congress has been described as
the tool of organized wealth. The
courts. federal and state, have been
blacklisted Nothing has escaped de-
traction.
We know how to make allowances
We give the agitator-editor. or orator
his head, and rather enjoy him when
he gets into his stride. Free speech
and a free press-which cannot De TOO
highly prized--eXcuse all.
But we do not take into account
when the fever is on us the fact that
foreigners are not qualified to make
such allowances. They are apt to take
us literally; and many of them, In
efforts to follow our development. COM
mercial and political, have been mis-
led by the more eXcitable of American
delfyerances Our ragtime rhetoric
has affected them as has our ragtime
music They wonder what we are
coming to.
Europe is particularly curious about
the tariff. The time is at hand for re-
vision. and what form Will 1t take!
Are the bars to be lowered so as to
give foreign producers a better chance
at the American markets? Are the
longtime denounced rcbber barons on
the eve of dethronemenr and punish
ment? If so, then Europe feels that
she stands to win.
Englands mistake, however, is In
applying that title to all American
manufacturers who are enjoying the
benefits of the protective tariff. She
has accepted the dictum that protec-
ton is not only robbery under the
forms of law. but unconstitutional, and
she sees its finish under the Wilson ad-
ministration.
She is doomed to disappointment
The sentence of death has not been
is not being erected. MIR. Underwood
is taking no lessons as an eXecd-
toner. On the contrary, he is taking
counsel about what may be done to
correct certain tariff evils. which both
sides concede. with the least possible
injury TO American dividends and the
American wage scales. He we'll under
stands that capital and labor are in
hn Cd, lie
both will suffer.
While we are exchanging professors
with European universities of learn
ing, why not send over few men
qualified to explain the American
spellbinder and his methods of rally
ing voters? : The information might
save our friends on the other side some
worry and a few mistakes.

Patronage Statistics.

The application of statistics to the mat
ter of aspiration for public Office under
the democratic administration yields re-
suits that might possibly discourage the
faithful party men who, both here and
elsewhere, are waiting anxiously for 11oti-
fication to report for duty. 1t has beer
found, for example, that one out Of every
fifty who voted for Wilson for President
now wants a job. But not all of these
can be accommodated. Indeed, II every
republican were turned out of Office at
this time and democrat were put in his
place twelve out of every thirteen candi-
dates for the government pay roll would
be disappointed. This is a low ratio OF
Office apportionmept to the faithful
Doubtless the dispensers of patronage
wish it were either higher or lower. II
is obviously impossible to satisfy all who
want to help the government in its opera
tiOns. To give every one Of these a place
would cause a Treasury deficiency that
no income tax could possibly supply. Con-
sequently the most satisfactory results
will be obtained by keeping the ratio OF
appointments low. Statistically the situa-
ton might be really very much worse,
bad as it is from the point of view OF
both the applicants and the appointers.

there are others.
Good men? All of them. None better.
And some, for eloquence and native ca
pacity for legislation. notable in the his
tory of the country.
Mr. Bryan did not intend to disparage
these men. He was speaking under the
inspiration of good feeling growing out
of some recent changes in the Senate,
made partly in obedience to his wishes.
and to forward policies to the support of
which he has after years of labor finally
brought his party. And. Gaping his salts
faction, he sees his friend and former
yoke-fellow, Mr.. Kern, made leader of
the body.
But the present Senate need not be
complimented at the expense of any pre-
vious Senate, nor any previous Senate at
the expense Of the present one. The good
men are not all dead. nor are those now
alive and in action the first of their kind
to appear in the United States.
The simple fact is that the Senate has
never deserved the censure passed upon
it in times of agitation for party pur-
poses. 1t has never been as body either
mediocre or corrupt. Occasionally COR
rupt man has crept in. Oftener a medi-
OGRE man has appeared. But the over
welming majority of every Senate have
shown honesty and high purpose of the
best type, and ability equal to the great
duties imposed. Intended as check on
excitement reflected in House measures
sometimes carried through under whip
and spur, the Senate has fulfilled the
prime object of it's creation, and nobly
justified itself in our governmental
scheme.
