SAFETY FIRST.

Every railroad official recognizes the importance to his system of the safe ty of transportation. It is one of the best advertisements for business which can be put forth and for that reason, if for no other. 1t demands the eXer else of the strongest efforts for it's ac- complishment Safety first must be the watchword of every successful railroad and failure to recognize it cannot exist in any branch of rail- roading There is the humane side of the problem which must take prece dence over the business side and it is for that reason that in the effort for safety the railroad systems expend such large sums of money for signals, equipment and operating forces. One large road maintains at a big expense a plant for treating steel to give it more enduring quality and make it capable of standing a greater strain. Such preliminary precaution results in greater safety. through the elimination of possible defects.
 It is plain fact that the railroad which has the fewest accidents, will make the most money, since the elim ination of accidents means the say ing of needless waste and expense. Avoidance of the destruction of equip ment means the saving of lives of and injuries to passengers. Such are the demands of successful railroad sys- tems from business point of view and such is the demand from the position of the travelling public. Safety at all times is required both in the human as well as the mechanical operation of trans portation lines

HIGH MEAT PRICES.

Just what effect the indicated de- crease in the corn crop this year will have upon the meat supply remains to be seen. The natural result of such a condition is to send the prices higher and higher, and this is what the pack CTS are predicting will happen. The cost of raising cattle affects the price of meat. but to the same extent that the price of meat advances just so much does the demand for it fall off, because it thus reaches a point where the great majority cannot afford to have 1t.
 There are those who can afford to have meat at any price, and they will, but immediately the price advances beyond reach of ordinary people, the consumption will show a marked de- crease and the people will begin to realize that 1t is not such a neces- sary part of the daily menu after all, and will get along without it.
 Whatever serves to send the price of beef higher will only operate to make the people adapt themselves to the conditions. Meat is not so neces- sary to health and vigor that it can- far less consumption than already eX- ists. Meat is fast becoming luxury which only the well to do can afford and this means that such a contribu- tion to the high cost of living will be relieved by the use of other foods. Other sound and robust nations are getting along with much less meat eat ing than we are.

ExTRADlTINe INSANE.

The much expressed opinion, result ing from the Thaw case that a maniac. even Of his type and character is not extraditable shows a weakness in the laws of states which needs attention for the protection of society in gen eraL ThaW's capture in the Dominion of Canada makes it possible for his deportation as an undesirable and therefore a return to this country. but just how much the laws of New Eng land states can be depended upon to get him back into New York state should he be sent back across the bor- der alsng the route he went remains to be tested out
 Tt fs a recognized fact that lunatics are dangerous when at large and each state has laws for placing them under restraint. but there appears to be a lack Of law when it comes to return inS such persons who may have es- caped from one state into another It shows up a situation about which more thought will in the future be gwen There is certainly sufficient req son for the eSsradition of such per sons
 There Is no excuse for the law pro tectinE such men as Thaw in main taining their liberty The quicker he can be gotten back into the institution which he left without saying goodbye the better it will b. aor decency and justice. Canada appears ready to do its part for Thaw's deportation, but a great handicap in handling such cases in this country has been shown up by the weakness of the laws

USING INCOME TAX.

The proposition of Senator Dilling- ham that each state should receive the amount of the income tax collected therein for the benefit of good roads would prove a magnificent thing for better highways. but it would be a most disastrous thing for the demo- cratic plan of making up thereby the losses sustained through the removal of the tariff.
 Concerning this scheme the New York Times recalls that "The income tax amendment was adopted under pretense of the necessity that the na- tional government should have that resource in some great emergency. The income tax having been authorized, 1t was discovered that it was necessary to enact it forthwith in order to make good the deficiencies of the reduction of the tariff. Now it is Sroposed to devote the tax to good roads. Moth ing can be clearer than that the in come tax was the price for the tariff, a sort Of logrolling by legislators which customarilv ties a good and a bad measure together"
 The diverting of any sum raised by the inseme tax to roadbuilding would be directly against the purpose for which the tax was secured. In mak- ing it serve to counteract the tariff for revenue only policy, it is depart ing from the real purpose of an in come tax. but to turn it to the con- struction of roads is hardly using it for meeting a great emergency, all thouc, the need of better and more permanent roads cannot be denied.

HUERTA'S CONCESSION.

The denial by Provisional President Huerta that any ultimatum has been issued to this country by him demand ing recognition of his administration. iS mare in accord with the attitude which he should take He must recog- rize the fact that he can secure the greatest benefit through maintaining friendly relations with this country and showing the proper disposition for obtaining peace in his republic. For Euerta to demand the recognition of his administration under the penalty -f sevcring all relations would be a display of bravadO calculated to give a worse instead of a better phase to the situation His concession to a conference with Special Adviser Lind of the American embassy in Mexico paves the way for a fun and proper understanding of the endeavors of ahiE country Huerta owed such to his own interests whatever his subseduent faction may be. Such a course was proper not only 10 better grasp the at btude of the United States but like wise to present Huerta's own position To the best advantage.
 ft Is a matter in which the dearest understanding is necessary. In hear ing Mir. Lind Huerta has displayed good judgment and it is to be hoped that the conference may be the be- ginning of an arrangement which will not only mean the extension of the proper protection to foreigners in Mex leo. but will hasten the election and thereby the adjustment of the revolu- tionary conditions which have too long existed there.
