To All Right Minded People

Colonel RoosEvELT's farewell address
before he took charge Of the Atlantic
Ocean for few days, as a favor to
Admiral NEPTUNE. contains Just about
enough to keep the brethren guessing
and wondering until he returns and all
bands begin to play. 1t Is prudent,
provisional. an interim filler, a curl.
osity raiser; just what Its deep re-
volving author meant II should be. Its
temperature Is moderate and of early
summer.
II would be premature to ponder too
seriously this preliminary notice OF In.
tention. The Colonel Is waiting on
events. II they are not satisfactory, II
they don't turn up ms per his schedule,
there will be seas OF trouble.
Meanwhile 1t is the duty Of all right
minded people to agree with the Colo
mel, Mt present the Admiral. that "the
two boss" system is n sin and n shame
as well as played out. This State and
this country need and can't get along

Mr.. Wilson on Moral Courage.

In his Memorial Day address Mr.
WILSON distinguished nobility from
greatness and physical from moral
courage. The noble men, with n
splendid surplus Of courage TO spend
upon their fellow men," the members
of 'the House of Fame" are they who.
'forgetful Of themselves, study and serve
the public interest. who have the cour-
age to face any number and any kind
Of adversary. 10 speak what in their
hearts they believe to be the truth
And therein Is service" and thereby
the freedom of the human spirit"
The Horatian righteous man, steadfast
Of purpose, may DO adorned with 4
more precious and n gentler charm in
Mr.. WILSON'S theme. but the persistent
moral courage. the unshakable tirmness,
the will aud power TO face world in
arms, the contempt of consequences,
the eye single 10 tho truth, are finely
painted and finely stole.
Fortunately, the living example OF
this high Roman fashion is not lacking.
When confronted by combinations OF
laborers and farmers, who demand To
be put above the law made for the res,
OF us. and who threaten the just and
tenacious man IL he doesn't accept the
exemption they seek TO impose, does
he yield, does he weaken? No, he
draws on his splendid surplus of moral
courage. He signs as directed, but be

STEAMSHIP DISASTERS.
New Measures to Prevent Collisions
should Re Taken.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir. The
world must soon realize that no ship. how
ever protected by transverse bulkheads or
even by the newer double hull" can with
stand the terrible effect OF a collision with
another swiftly moving giant vessel. The
new double hui, is yet TO BIO tested In an
actual catastrophe at sea. Experts de-
clare that our present Atlantic liners OF
this type are ''unsinkabe," but was not
the same thing said OF the Titanic? Can
any invention OF man prevent the result
OF the Irresistible impact OF two huge
masses OF iron and steel? Undoubtedly
the double hull would help In time OF col
iision, but II could not wholly prevent
the awful toll OF the sea from being ex-
acted. Further steps to prevent collisions
should be taken.
We read that ''ths golfers have no
underwater telephone signals and their
approach cannot be detected by tmperilled
liners" OF what use is the submarine
equipment OF the Empress OF Ireland and
other liners II II affords no protection
from big freighters which are navigated
with far less caution In all kinds OF
weather? Freighters should be COM
PEELED by law to carry this submarine
apparatus, not only for their own safety.
but moro particularly for the safety OF
giant liners freighted with human beings.
In almost every disaster OF this type we
read that 1.-The ship listed SO heavily to
port that the lifeboats on the starboard
| side could not be launched" Surely the
boat builders and owners know that the
boat will list in this manner IN one side

Mr.. kipling's Frenzy.

That eXtravagance of speech which is
supposed TO be an Irish characteristic
has been all on the other side In the
later stages of the home rule discus
sion. Unionist enthusiasts OF
course. the real party leaders-have
waded in verbal gore and having killed
and eaten their foes consigned their
names 10 eternlties Of infamy. II has
become the fashion In certain London

speak OF the recent Curragh incident,
the tentative arrangement for sending
troops To keep order in Ulster, as 1.-THE

finds only tattercd shreds of these lucu'

of the worst victims OF the prevailing
frenzy is Mr.. RuDyARD KirLING. He
has caught the Ulster fever in its most
malignant form. Not merely have

departed temporarily from him; he has
even lost his sense of hunor. Never

Nobody viii srudge the children the
romp they had in the parks Saturday.
1t is no small thing that the city was
able to bestow a day OF pleasure upon
% 900 of its growing citizens and citi-
zenesses. but II X question whether
the same result could not be reached
at less cost In the way OF devastation
to the public pleasure grounds. Those
who saw Central Park late Saturday
afternoon when the fun was over say
that it's DISAGREEMENT was pitiful. The
trampled grass and the wide fiung litter
were inevitable conditions OF the passage
Of $4,000 children, but they forcibly
present the question whether the chill
dren might not have been better ac-
commodated in some # the big parks
beyond the Harlem, As practically
every child had TO pay carfare and as
the rate to Bronx and Van Cortlandi
parks In no greater than TO Central,
would II not be better in future years
to transfer all the romping TO these
ample spaces? Besides, as a fresh air
investment, five cents spent on going Ia
the big outlying parks Is even better
than a trip to the street bound Central
garden plot.

an article in the Capalry Journal

In an article In the Cdpdlry Journal
for May Lieutenant BRUCE y. DIsQuE,
who witnessed the battle OF Nuevo
Laredo in January, praises the bravery
and GOODNESS of the combatants on both
sides. lie declares that mo one who
saw this affair" could have any doubt OF
the soldieriy qualities Of the MGxlcans.
There was, for instance. the Federal
officer who with a small detachment
rode out from his lines TO reconnoitre
and had his horse shot under him;
disengaging himself from the stirrups
he walked slowly back 10 the Federal
position, putting cigarette az he went,
although little clouds of dust showed
that bullets were striking the earth all
about him.
An insurgent rapid fire gun caught
Lieutenant DISCUSS eye. II was In
the open and one man was working
the gun. After firing several rounds
he would rise and walk about the piece
although the Federals were trying to
get" him. They succeeded and hi
went down. Instantly another insur-
gent sprang from cover to take his
place. This man lasted five minutes
when a third man walked out TO the
gun, which with great elaboration he
moved fifty yards to the right before
opening lire.
