The full crew law has beyond question
done one thing-it has cost railroads in
the states in which il is in force millions
Of dollars for results Of doubtful value.
If the employment Of an extra man in each
train crew would, or could, give extra
assurance Of safety, not only would the
travelling public demand such a precau-
ton. but it would he to the interest of
the railroads TO give it, whatever the cost.
As the case stands. experimentation for
many months has proved nothing but the
inability Of the railroads to make i'm
provcmcnte which might foster safety be-
cause Of the drain on their treasures due
to this laws operation.
By vctoing this bill Pennsylvania
Governor has deprived the Public Service
Commission, the logical body, with expe-
-iercc ard expert advice, Of the chance
10 make investigation to determine just
how many men should be in train crew
in order 10 protect the public. The Legs-
Iaturc Of this state, moved by much the
same arguments which seem to have pre-
vailed with Governor Brumbaugh, refused
to pass a bill allowing the Public Service
Commission 70 settle this question. II is

THE PRoGREssIvEs' FUTURE
Party Not Dead, but Ready to Sur
prise Older Ones.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: note with interest letter in your
issue Of to-day signed a. n. A. Quandsry,
together with your editorial comment there
on. | should like to trespass on your space
in order to answer the writer and any other
Progressives who may be doubtful as to their
future course.
It is true that the Progressive party was
disappointed over its showing in the last
election, but loss of votes was due, in my
opinion and in that of most others with whom
have spoken, to the promises held out by
the Republican leaders, and the fact that
Mr.. Whitman, on account of his record in
the District Attorneys office, made a power
full appeal to those who were sick Of Demo-
cratic domination in the state.
The Progressives who deserted their party
last year, however, have in very many cases
bitterly regretted the fact. The Republican
Legislature has shown itself incapable, with
one or two exceptions, of abandoning pork
barrel methods, and we find that thousands
Of those who temporarily left our party in
the last election will not be hoodwinked by
Republican or Democratic promises into
doing so again.
The Progressive organization is still alive
and active, and we are doing all that we can
to show the people that they are mistaken
in their view that there is no hope for the
Progressive party in the future. We believe
that we have power that is still to be reck-
oned with, and those bosses of the two pre-
dominant parties who think otherwise will
have rude awakening at the next election.

international law, so long as the lives OF
her own citizens arc not menaced and her
property injured, why all this talk that the
United States stands for civilization and
humanity?
Fortunately, such a view is negatived by
the express terms of the governments last
note, mild as it is; and /, for one, cannot
believe that this great country would be so
false to its great traditions as to pursue
course which would cover her flag with dis
honor. No, sir; prefer to believe that

lea and that "the heart of America" shall

Firemen Rescue a Robin.

iron The Springfield Republican,
Probably the happiest red-breasted robin
in these parts is to-day chirping cheerfully
to the world as it performs its domestic du-
ties around a nest 40 feet from the ground
in a tree on upper Union Street The bird
limps little in the left leg, but what's a limp
to an otherwise healthy robin with four little
blue eggs to cover, as long as its wings are
in working order? The bird hung by one en-
tangled foot for two hours yesterday morn
ing until rescued by fremen with an aerial
ladder from the Winchester Square station
Miss Gertrude Marston, who lives with her
sister Mile, and Mrs. W. S. Marston at SAP
Union Street, heard the anguished notes of
the robin at about 10 o'clock yesterday and
spied it futtering helplessly head downward
among the top foliage of tree in front Of
her house. Chief Daggett heard the story.
why of course we'll save that bird" he
said, and notified the Winchester Square sta
ton. Just before noon the ladder truck
trundled under the tree and stopped. The
ladder was run up and a fireman cut the
bird loose from snarl of cotton string and
horsehair. and tenderly brought il TO the
ground. In moment it was freed and flew
away and out of sight. The ladder truck
rumbled back TO the station its errand of
mercy finished.

Queer Government.

Governor Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania,
vetoing the repeal of full crew law, says

been reduction in loss Of life since the
law went into effect. That is indefinite,
to say the least. Who has proclaimed 1t?
Is there any proof of it? 1t assuredly
has not shone forth from the statistics
prepared by the railroad companies, and
no railroad is going 10 charge against it.
