Water Sacrifices.

Many people took TO the water yester-
day in the neighborhood of large cities.
Some went out in rowboats, some in
canoes and some in sailboats. All of
them were exposed TO peril and some
of them lost their lives. As often hap
pens in summer. severe squalls occurred
toward the close of the hot day, and
these small craft, manned in many cases
BY inexperienced people. came TO grief.
Ten people were drowned at different
points in the neighborhood of New York,
while eight lost their lives as the result
or the capsizing of a sloop in Boston
harbor. In many cases the people who
intrusted themselves to these vessels
could not swim. taking chances on catch
ing hold of the side or bottom of the boat
or part Of the rigging in case of an over
turn. IL is astonishing how many people
will venture into dangerous waters with
out knowledge of the capabilities of those
who are in charge Of the craft and with
II they go overheard. Parents permit
their children to go such expeditions
without thought OF the danger. or give
grudging assent rather than cause dis

with their manifestation without ask
ing permission the government would
at least have made a pretense of sup
pressing 1t. but there is no telling how
far it would have gone before the
restoration OF order.
From day to day come reports of de-
partures of Americans in large num-
bers from various Mexican ports and
border cities. Some of them are ask
ing the State Department for assist
ance which is given whenever pos
sible. 1t has been estimated that about
one-third of the Americans formerly
resident in Mexico have left during the
past two years. the number rapidly in
creasing of late This recent exodus
is unquestionably due to the fact that
the State Department has no policy with
reference to the Mexican situation and is
offering virtually no guarantees to
American citizens resident in that land
of turmoil Refusal to recognize Huerts
until a federal election has occurred has
left the United States in a position OF
helplessness with reference to its own
people. The government is practically
trusting to luck from week to week, hop
ing for a continuation of good fortune
until the election is held, and it can re-
new direct diplomatic negotiations with
the administration at Mexico City. This
is not d satisfactory situation. 1t is not
becoming TO the United States to leave
so long a gap in it's direct dealings with
government so near at hand in sit

interests and even the lives of its citi-

Another Grade Crossing Tragedy.

1t takes a great many demonstrations
of some very obvious facts to bring con-
viction to the public. For instance. take
the grade crossing. which on the face Of
things is danger. 1t has claimed
countless victims in all parts of the coun-
try. and yet in practically every COM
munity-here in the District as elsewhere
grade crossings are continued In the
sight of long lists of fatalities.

q chauffeur tried TO send touring car
carrying seven people across steam rail-
road tracks while a train was passing.
The chauffeur's aim was bad and he hit
the locomotive in the middle. Two dead
and Ave injured. two Of them probably
fatally!
This grade crossing at Mneola has been
there for years. Every chauffeur who
freQuents the roads in that vicinity

Mr.. Bryan's Explanation.

Replying to his critics, Mr.. Bryan
frankly explains his present chautau-
qua engagement by confessing that
he needs the money. The salary of
his office does not meet the financial
obligations the Office imposes and
hence he will fatten his purse in a
way familiar to him and which he con-
sders still open to him. He will ask
the public to help out a servant of
Uncle Sam.
Mr.. Bryan goes further. He declares
that had he been elected President he
would not have considered it improper
to take the platform There is room
for two opinions about that. In that
case he would not have needed the
money. As inadequate as are the sal
aries of number of our high officials,
that of the President is not among
the number. He is yell paid. and
should have no diffis hlty in living
comfortably on the governments al
lowance. As for the other feature
that of President turning entertainer
the spectacle would certainly have
provoked much discussion. and maybe
no little condemnation.
But now that Mr.. Bryan knows how
Ii is himself he should throw his in
huence in favor of larger salaries foI
those high officials who need them
Especially should he remember the
officials who are under the direction
OF his own department and are serv-
ing abroad on small allowance. The
pay of our diplomats has been beggarly
for years. and the subject often of
newspaper and other comment. 1t has
crown to be. indeed, a sort of reproach
10 the national life, giving point to
the charge that poor men are thus
barred from that branch of the public
service.
The laborer is worthy of his hire;
and in the case of rich employer
like Uncle Sam the figure should be
should command the best talent for
all our federal posts at home and
abroad. 1t is an honor. of course. to
hold the governments commission. and
many men seek it. But the honor of
place is not all Men should be paid
adequately for their work, and put
above the necessity of drawing upon
their own bank accounts for any part
of expenses incurred in the line of
official duty.
It may be- therefore, that Mr.. Bry-
ans present tour will benefit others
besides himself For if it should EN-
phasize as il should. the claims of
certain prominent officials for higher
salaries. a reproach to the government
may be lifted. Congress at the regu-
lar session should give the subject at
tention in the light of Mr.. Bryan's
avowal.

Might Help Recruiting.
From the Chicago Tribune.

A proposal has been made in New York
which might reasonably be entertained In
this city also. 1t is that the armorfes OF
the National Guard be used as playhouses
and recreation centers for children.
Illinois has been fairly generous In pro-
viding armories for Its militia The hne
assembly rooms furnish facilities for
meetings They are light, airy and have
large floor space. They are maintained at
public expense, and are vacant large
part of the time. Such as are In con-
gested districts might we'll be put to the
proposed use. 1t is certainly an improve
ment on the practice Of renting them FOR
political conventions. as recent events
proved.

The Railroad Strike Situation.

Leaders of the railroad operatives
unions have reached the wise decision
to attend the conference in this city
today which has for its object the
finding of a method to prevent a strike
on the eastern railroads. menaced by
the demands of the conductors and
trainmen. When the announcement was
made last week that the unions would
not be represented the fear was ex-
pressed that the conference would fail
of its purpose, as without the co-opera-
tion of the operatives no adjustment
could be effected regarding the amend
ment of the Erdman act, which is the
immediate object of the present en-
deavor. 1t now appears that through
personal appeal by President Brown
of the New York Central the presidents
of the two unions were induced to re-
consider their decision that there was
nothing to arbitrate and no occasion
for a conference.
1t is stated that there is practically no
difference between the presidents of the
three largest eastern railroads and the
leaders of the workers organizations re-
specting the manner of amending the
Erdman act. If this is true there
should be little difficulty in getting at
working understanding with MEM
bers of Congress, who should in this
situation be willing to accept the judg-
ment of the two main factors in the
industrial equation and enact such an
amendment as meets their views. 1t
is true, of course, that the Erdman act
applies to other than railroad differ
ences, but these are the most important
and most dangerous of all the indus
trial troubles with which the coun
try is from time to time menaced, and
the federal statute should be so drawn
as to effect most surely a peaceable
settlement of the disputes between the
transportation lines and their employees
The prospect of peace between the
railroads and the workers has been
very materially frightened within the
last few hours Notwithstanding the
| formal ratification of the strike vote
at meeting in New York of the gen
| eral committee of the two organiza-
tions. While the committee empow-
cred the two presidents to fix the day
and hour for the walkout of the
operatives it imposed delay until the
| officials had attended the White House
conference today. Thus the matter is
entirely in their hands with this reser
vation. and in the light of previous
strike situations it is altogether prob
able that the actual order to suspend
work will not be issued until the pos
sibilities of settlement have been ex-
hausted. Doubtless the leaders of the
two organizations realize the heavy re-
sponsibility which rests upon them in
the power with which they are vested
to call from their stations 100000 men
and practically paralyze the transpor-
tation facilities of the eastern states
This responsibility must bring with it
steadying tendency that will cause
those upon whom il rests to wait until
the last chance of peaceful settlement
has passed before infiicting this heavy
loss upon the country

Should Be No Strike!
q New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
It's a mighty poor rule that doesn't
work both ways The rule of the govern
ment over the railway works only one
way. While the companies are prevented
from increasing charges their employees
are free to demand higher wages and to
threaten the community with disastrous
strike II their demands are not compiled
with Owners of the railways are not
permitted to strike-they are compelled to
operate the lines: but these men are free
to leave IN a body and disable the trans
portation service Of half the continent
infiicting untold loss. discomfort and suf.
fering upon a population of fifty millions
It's a poor rule Since the government
regulates" the employers 1t should also
regulate the employed.
