The Engineer and the Brakes.

In order to determine the condition and

self was taken from the repair shops
yesterday. and with another engineer was
run over the same stretch of track as
that on which the run was made into the
first ssS --on the other day. Several tests
of th.. ,ature were made. A green flag
was k.. at the point where the car in
which the passengers were killed had
stood. and another flag marked the point
at which the engineer began TO set his
brakes II was found that when the
train was travelling at the same speed as
the other day and the brakes were ap-
piled as the engineer declared he had ap-
piled them they did not operate fast
enough TO halt the train before reaching
the green flag. When applied further
back. on the same speed. they halted the
train In ample season. Now the ques-
ton, which can be answered only by eX-
perts. is whether the railroad company
or the engineer is responsible for the use
OF these brakes, which were undoubtedly
stiff and which had been reported as I'M
trustworthy. IN such q manner as to
cause a wreck. The engineer says he
did the best that could be done with the
brakes. The company says he did not
begin TO apply them soon enough, but ran
too far beyond his warning signal before
turning on the air. Against the COM
panys contention il Is pointed out that
This man was an inexperienced engineer,
having served only year on freight
service and only few weeks on pas
senger service. and that the engine COM
mitted to his care is of type requiring
particularly skillful handling. 1t should
have been obvious, ii would seem, upon
the writing of this engineers report
brakes no good that he was afraid of
his equipment, and the expression of that
fear should have caused some one in
authority to relieve him from a respon-
sibility calling for exceptional skill and
experience. Doubtless the companys eff

that demands the fullest cons deration

for this disaster. but 70 the end possibly

Protecting the National Game.

From the New York Sun.
The protective efforts of the base ball
club owners who have united to repress
professional gambling at professional
games have assuredly not been under
taken too early. The evil has been grow
ing steadily since the closing OF the race
tracks, it's promotion enlisting the efforts
Of the gentry whose activities made pos
sible the passage OF the Hughes bills. The
influence Of these gamblers is inevitably
the same, no matter what class Of COM
petition it affects The most upr- ght con-
testants, brute or human, are drawn by
Them conscious or unconscious OF their
contribution to dishonesty, into a mess Of
speculation that invariably ends cor
ruption. Popular as base ball is, nation
wide though the interest taken in IL by
men and women Of all conditions is, it
cannot maintain its hold for many
months If professional gambling once in
fects 1t. The mere suspicion that games
are liked" will do 1t more INJURY than
a score of n:nes with clean records can
cure Once tainted, what returns can its
managers hope to get from 1t?

Japan and Aguinaldo.

There is no war scare In the report
that son OF Gen. Agunaldo is travelling
IN Japan. Whatever his mission 1t can
produce no effect so far as our relations
with Japan are concerned. The Japanese
authorities would not confer or negotiate
with an obscure young man whose pres
ence in the country would have escaped
notice except that he is his fathers son.
He is not medium through which any
thing of the slightest Importance could
be accomplished.
The father himself could not. if dis
posed establish relations with Japan
which would menace this country. He
is spent rocket He made a little
noise and shed d little light when he
went up. but he soon came down. There
is no danger in the stick after the pow
der has been burned.
But. with an opportunity, would Cen
Aguinaldo care to renew now the activity
that brought him into notice dozen
years ago? 1t is to be doubted. At that
time he had no knowledge of American
purposes with regard TO the Philippines.
He had been in revolt against Spanish
rule, and was told that American rule
would repeat the worst features of that.
He probably believed, as some Americans
were then charging. that the islands had
been taken over by this government in
a mercenary spirit, and would be ex-
plotted for gain.
He now knows better He has seen
the American purposes develop, and his
country develop under them. He himself
has profited by the great changes wrought
under American control. and is today a
prosperous farmer. looking on his happy
fields and thinking of the days that are
no more" Those were dark and bitter
days. These are bright and sweet days
for the Filipino who recognizes a good
thing when he meets it in the road.
No. Japan, if meditating an attack
on the Philippines, would probably not
work through Gen. Aguinaldo. If she
took him into account at all 1t would be
as a man who having given both Spain
and America trouble would be likely to
try to give her trouble If invested with
any Importance or authority. She would
keep an eve On him, and especially as
her rule would put independence for the
Philippines entirely out of the question.
Were Japan to dispossess us and move
in, Il would be for any other purpose
than preparing the people for a republic
can form Of government. She is not pre-
pairing her own people for such a form
OF government.
War between America and Japan Is
not on the cards as they now lie on the
table; and the weakest feature of Amer
lean jingoism is the putting and the keep
ing of the Philippines to the fore when
ever the subject of war is mentioned.
An yIlt nv To- he
would be much more than an assault on
American control there. For when that
ceases, for any cause the great powers
90 Europe will demand, and be entitled
- say as to the future.

Strange Political Bedfellows.

That politics makes strange bedfelloWs
comes down from what we call antiquity.
That politics in our beloved country to-
day Is In fIuid. not to say chaotic, con-
dition Is common observation. Proof ap-
pears on every hand. But, as usual,
New York, the home Of shiftings and sur
prises, furnishes the most striking illus
tration.
The question is direct primaries includ-
ing the abolition Of the state convention
Gov. Sulzer is urging such action, and the
two state bosses-Mr. Murphy. democrat.
and Mr.. Barnes. republican-are opposing.
The legislature met in extra session yes

ton, there remain many people who are
still ignorant Of the law. The court Will
not accept ignorance as an excuse. and
SO these people, who are DESTROYS or using
the streets as the rules require, are
through their lack of knowledge, being
penalized often in heavier sums than
they can we'll afford. This has tendency
to create a sense Of grievance on the part
of street users, which is not desirable It

were to admonish rather than arrest

these past several weeks to inform the
public of precisely what is expected OF
all classes Of street users. But to get a
compact. easily understood abstract OF
the street rules from direct representa-
tive of the District government Is more
effective than preachment and example
and to the end of widely disseminating
this information the Commissioners
should see that every policeman in the
District is abundantly supplied with these
copies and instructed to give them to all
who apply for them, and even to offer
them to people who are seemingly 1g-
norant Of the rules.

The Sundry Civil Exemption.

An impressive document has been laid
before President Wilson, consisting OF
the record of referendum vote passed
by the constituent members of the Cham
Der Of Commerce Of the United States
upon two propoSitions-the exemption OF
labor unions from prosecution under the
antitrust law and the establishment of
tariff commission. BY an overwhelm-
ing vote the organization has declared
itself opposed to the exemption Of the
unions and In favor Of a tariff commits
sion. In no more definite manner could
the President obtain a report of the sem
timent of the business interests Of the
country than through such a vote as this.
embracing the membership OF an organi-
cation representative OF many thousands
of Americans in all lines Of activity. The
vote against the exemption of the labor
unions from prosecution under the anti
trust law Is SO decisive that 1t must be
accepted as in the nature OF a national
sentiment. and the President will doubt
less give it thoughtful consideration dur
ing the period of his examination of the
sundry civil bill. That he will veto this
measure on account Of the exemption
clause, as did his predecessor, is not to
be expected, in view of the absence of
any warning to that effect from him in
advance Of the final shaping of the bill.
But it is, on the other hand. thought likely
that he will accompany his signature Of the
bill with memorandum expressive Of
his disapproval of this manner Of legis-
lation and the illogical setting apart of
any single class from the operations of a
general statute The fact that this is
merely a monetary restriction does not
affect the improperly of an exemption
by law Of one class Of possible offenders
against a principle-statute which has al
ready been invoked and enforced. Nor
does it make it less an o1ense against
the sense Of justice that the administra-
ton possesses, through the possible use
Of other funds than those appropriated
by the sundry civil bill. the power to
prosecute labor unions under the Sher-
man act should circumstances arise war
ranting such procedure. Congress has
set a bad precedent in this exemption.
and it Is to be hoped that the President
will. in his accompanying memorandum,
make 1t plain that he disapproves Of this
mode of legislation. thus voicing the SEN
timent SO strongly expressed to him
through the medium Of the referendum
vote Of the chamber of commerce.

Distributing the Traffic Rules.

Last evening the Street Safety Associa-

District Commissioners to instruct the
police to distribute copies of the street
regulations hbera,ly among the people, to
the end that drivers and motormen may
be more rapidly educated in the require
ments of the traffic rules and the respon-
sibilities imposed upon them by these
regulations. This is an excellent NOV.
and should be fruitful of good results.
