A MORAL PERPLEXITY

The Presbyterian ministers OF Chi
cago at recent meeting discussed at
some length the question whether a
lie was ever iustlflable. Il is not only a
fine ethical but a delicate moral point.
IL may be thought strange for a pro
fession that teaches unwavering ad-
terence TO the Mosaic code to find
some advocating the affirmative side
u the question Such was the case.
which one OF the defenders OF the JUS
thable lie illustrated by citing a sick
mother who is told her son was we'll

81 such misrepresentation was not
iusufiable according 10 Christian
standards Il was. al least. humanl.

SOME POINTED ADMISSIONS

Principally. IL is quite evident. the
Democratic National convention was
awarded to st. Louis because Missouri
is looked upon as being very shaky
as TO its Democracy and as needing
a party stimulant IL Bourbonism is 10
be maintained In its ancient strong
hold. Champ Clark championed the
cause OF st. Louis and frankly admit.
ted that Missouri is debatable politi.
cal territory.
Senator jim Ham Lewis used
much the same kind Of an argument
for Chicago. which is. he said. the
hub OF such doubtful States as In
diana. Michigan. Wisconsin and Iowa.
as well as Illinois itself" To which
the Speaker replied adequately and
truthfully by saying that those States
ARE about as reliably Republican as
Vermont" 80
These are significant admissions to
come from Democratic leaders. The
Republican ticket lost out in 1912 in
every one Of those States. The Demo
Gratis carried all but one Of them. Now.
Missouri is doubtful and the others are
reliably Republican as Vermont" II
such a change has occurred in politi-
cal conditions in the States named. It
is entirely reasonable TO suppose that
a like condition exists in Other. parts OF
the country. Such, indeed. Is the fact,
as every test has shown. The Demo-
Gratis may locate their conFention
where they viii. They may renomi-
nate Wilson OF Bryan. or take a new
man TO head their ticket. Il viii make
no difference. The country itself is
now "as reliably Republican as Yer
mont" Nobody knows this better
than the Democrats.

Unquestionably the reorganiza-
ton OF the United States Steam
boat Inspection Service will en-
gage the serious attention of
Congress at the coming session.
The better protection OF life and
property entrusted to vessels is
found necessary, as a result of the
Eastland disaster at Chicago, July
Gath.
Federal inspectors look after
life saving appliances carefully,
and examine engines and boilers,
and their appurtenances thoroughly
but in matters OF design, in the
vital matter OF stability-of yes
sells, being able to stand up under
strain and stress-and. to an ex-
tent, in matters OF construction.
e II has been the custom OF inspec-
tors. says Secretary OF Commerce
Redfield. TO leave them to the
builders"
He proposes to have this essen
ual detail corrected by having
a board OF naval architects pass
upon designs OF steam vessels over
100 tons. the vessels not to be
used until approved by the board.

There must be rules adopted oy
the government governing the con-
struction of vessels. so that de-
signers may build them within the
law. Private interests heretofore
have formulated such rules, and
In most countries owners and
builders control the associations

States. underwriters control the
only association that formulates
rules for the government of ship
construction. upon which the
classification and rating OF ships
are based. and which form the
basis OF insurance of hulls and
cargoes. The rules in the case
Of the American bureau are not
availed OF to any large extent, and,
IL is believed. because the fac
tor OF safety" is so high. Owners
desire vessels built with the maxi
mum carrying capacity and the

every ton OF weight OF material
added to the strengthening OF

mates a ton of carrying capacity

THE MARRIED STATE.

Young people about to De married.
who have been led to believe that hus-
band and wife customarily address
each other as dear" my dear" and
darling" should grab for the emer-
gency brake. Outside of summer fic.
tfon and the early chapters in the best
sellers such appellations seldom break
in upon the disQuietude of married
life. Really and truly married people
much prefer wrangling and con
temptuous persiflage. The fundamen-
tai purpose OF matrimony Is the estab-
lishment OF dominating personality.
and whoever dreams OF compatibility
may well rest assured that he IS
dreaming.
Just why fiction writer's should
glorify the early married state with a
halo OF honeyed epithets nobody
knows. Surely our novelists have
little conscience in the matter. for
some OF them certainly appreciate the
bitter despair that goes with the disso-
luton OF pre-nuptial pipedreams.
Matrimony should be treated only BY
the visionless realist and the specialist
in the field OF fiction. II. W. d.

TO the danger point. to build YES
sells lightly instead of strongly.
The governments interest is the
same as the underwriters inter-
est-for safety's sake each de-
sires that the vessels shall be
strongly. and not lightly, built.
So long as local inspectors OF
steam vessels are required to sign
certificates of inspection OF steam
vessels. swearing that they in
spected them and found them sea
worthy and safe, when, in fact,
they did not inspect them at all.
there will be serious impairment
OF the efficiency Of the steamboat
inspection service. Assistant in
spectors are appointed because
local inspectors are absorbed
with important office details.
After the assistants file their re-
ports the certificates Of inspec-
ton. guaranteeing the vessels
safety, are issued. the local in
spectors swearing that they in
spected the vessel and reciting
the condition she was found in.
the completeness of her equip
meEt and appurtenances.
When accidents happen TO
steam vessels. the local inspect
ors summon the officers OF the
ships involved before them and
examine them regarding the mat.
tiers, and. II as a result OF such
examination they believe that this
or that officer. or these OF those
officers are blameworthy. then
they hold an investigation. In
this case the local inspectors are
prosecutors, judges. Juries and
eIecutioners. They have prejudg.
ed the case in advance OF inves-
tigating II. This is all wrong;
II should be remedied. The in
spectors who formulate the charg.
es against licensed officers should
not try the cases. deliver judg-
ment and execute sentences.
The Federal government is alto
gether too parsimonious, especi-
ally In vital matters such as in
volve the safety OF the people.
and TO obtain the services OF
the kind OF inspectors OF steam
vessels that It should have the
money paid them should be about
twice what II is at present. Great
er public safety would be the re-
suit: but II things are continued
as they are, less public safety on
board steam vessels will result.
