frowningly once or twice, as If the
conversation disturbed him
Broads iancee was to arrive that
evening on the 1910 from Washing

telling us ali the details of their re-
cent quarrel and reconciliation.

then a boy entered with late edi-

press, and handed it 10 Dunning.
Mr. Broad" he said sharply, and
then, changing his mind, left his seat
and hurried toward us. "Mr Broad,
| want you to go out to Crayfeld in
stantly. The 1910 from Washington
has been wrecked outside the station.
Hurry, and telephone all the news.
And say, try to get list of the dead"
My Cod! said Broad, and sank
down into his seat. He buried his
face in his hands and his shoulders
shook convulsively. Somebody ex-
planned the situation in few words,
and Cummings face took on an express
sion of intense sympathy. He placed
one arm about Breads shoulders and
drew him to his feet.
TOO bad, old man." he said. But
l guess you'll be crazy now unless you
get to Crayfield as soon as possible,
so perhaps it would be the kindest
thing to let you cover the assignment"
yes, I'll CO." cried Broad, pulling
himself together.
Then, one after another, he detailed
us; one to the railroad Offices, anoth-
er to the presidents house, another, to
catch the general manager at his club.

traced a shipment to the consumer in
order to find out what that worthy in

vestigation brought to light the inter

through no less than five hands before
reaching the consumer, and while the
grower had received only S. cents per
bushel box for them they had been re

Senator Kenyon's bin to regulate the
Thanking privilege looks like a practical
plan for the abolition of an abuse that
costs the government millions Of dol

them shall be required to give strict
account of their use.

A Tribute 10 the Dead.

To the readers of the Tribune
Thes writer was very much hurt Ia
learn of the fact that some erroneous,
malicious gossip had caused to be ru-
mored, or rather by crafty insinuations
had made special effort to underestj-
mate and cast a slur on the capabilities
and good qualities of my nephew,
Warden Goldsworthy. And in connec-
ton with this and for the sake of a GER
tain family pride, which every one
should feel, wish to state that Warden
was not only one of the best liked men
in the employ of the Illinois Steel Co,
but was also one of the most capable
and efficient foremen in the plant. In
fact, there was absolutely nothing OBJ
iectional in his manner or disposition
whatever, everybody liked him. He
was faithful to the company, loyal to
his superior and fair to his men. He
was one of the few men that did not
require any supervision, and the fact
that he was placed in charge of de
partment with 250 or 300 men under
him, is sufficient proof of his worth and
standing. While I am pleased to be
able to state these facts, l am also sorry
find il necessary.

A STERN scHooLMAsTER.

4 story is told of Longfellow that
when he was professor at Harvard he
was onco assigned to the unpleasant
task of rcprimanding student. Sen
sitive and gentle, he could scarcely
summon the courage TO perform this
duty. but coming across the student in
i corridor, he said: ''I have been as
sigucd to reprimand you, and YOU may
consider yourself reprimanded.
The scboolmaster who now occupies
the White House is made OF sterner
stuff. He has assigned the War aud
Navy Department secretaries TO rcpri-
mand the officers Of the army and navy
who took part in the recent dinner or
the military order of the Carabao and
who remained ducscent and apparent

Philippine and other policies were bur
lesoued in childish fashion The Prcsi-
dent has told Secretaries Garrison and
Daniels that they must administer a
every serious reprimand, and he
takes occasion TO express his own feel
ings in forciblc terms.
The President has the advantage of
being right in this controversy, and,
therefore, we find him swinging easily
and vigorously and with a sense of
righteousness, the Democratic big
stick. He refers to the so.called 'ffun -
of the Carabao banquet as "silly eff
fervesceuccs of childish wit, which, to
use tho vcrnacular is 'some smash. -

Tins will probably head the list when
the red record of the twelve months is
made up. The figures furnished by the
coroner's Office in New York may be
taken as an indication of what we may
expect in this connection, In report
just published, it is stated that the
number of deaths caused by automo-
bilcs in the great city, has risen from
thirty-seven in 1907 to III for
eleven months of 1918. 1t is only fair
to state that in q large number of cases
investigated the pedestrians were found
to be largely to blame. This does not
eliminate the charge Of carelessness,
but only goes to show that the Amcri
can people are reckless of their own
lives as well as the lives Of others.
The agitation for ''sane and safe

preservation of many lives and has

persons. May we not hope that in the
