BLAME NOW PUT ON FLAGMAN
Interstate Commerce Commission In.
cllned to Hold Him Responsible
for Railroad Wrecks.

No more is the engineer of the fast
flier the goat" Of big railroad wrecks.
The interstate commerce commissions
annual report gave him nearly clean
bill of health. Where he used to bear
the blame, a new victim has been
raised-the fagman, ignorant Of the
company's rules.
The commission pointed out that
there has been considerable de-
crease in the number of collisions due
to the failure of the enginemen to
obey the indications of the block sig
nal" At the same time it held that it
is unreasonable to expect freedom
from wrecks when railroads employ
flagmen of little experience without
any examination as to their knowledge
of rules.
Strong recommendation was made
for universal use of system of auto
matte train control in conjunction with
other safety devices.
During the year the commission in
vestigated GO train wrecks which
caused death to 169 persons and in
juries to 2,134. Improper tagging was
given as the prime cause of wrecks
Inherent weakness of the train order
system was responsible in several
cases, and the commission advised use
of extra checks to safeguard against
danger of forgotten instructions In
spection and supervision of work of
train service employees is improving,
the report stated, but there is still
need for standardization of operating
rules.

1t was Protestant revolution with
vengeance. Taxes were ordered
levied for the support of the Church
OF England. The immigration of Ro-
man Catholics was prohibited and the
public celebration of the mass forbid
den by law. The seat Of government
was removed from ST. Mary's, where
the Catholic families held sway to
whom the colony had owed its estah-
ishment, and set up at Providence,
presently to be known as Annapolis,
where the Protestant influence CEN
tered. Maryland was transformed.
Everywhere in the colonies there
was doubt for little while what gov
eminent to obey, until things should
be settled in England, and his
Majesty King William should have
time to turn his attention to affairs
in America.
Nowhere was the doubt more en-
barrassing than in East and West
Jersey, which seemed left without
any general government at all. For
NAL negotiations had been afoot in
1858, the very year of the revolution,
for the surrender of the rights of
the East Jersey proprietors to the
crown; repeated transfers of proprie-
torship and divisions of jurisdiction,
both by private sale and public grant,
had from the first sadly confused au-
thority in the province; and when
news came of what had happened
in England, some doubted whether
there were either royal authority OF
private right for the government OF
the growing hamlets of either colony
Affairs presently settled even there
however, to their normal frame again
For quite fourteen years longer the
proprietors kept their right to ap-
point governors and exercise, super
intendence there.
The settlers in the two provinces
moreover, were for the most par
hard-headed English and Scottish
people, who were not to be discon-
certed in the management of theil
own affairs by trouble in England
or the mere lack of settled genera
governm snt. For quite three years
| (1689-1692) they waited, without dis
turbance or excitement or any un
usual interruption of their quiet life
under the direction Of their town anG
county officers; until at last the,
learned what their government as ;
province was to be.
There were already five organizeC
counties in East Jersey, and had beer
these twenty years, since before thu
second coming of the Dutch (1674)
and 10000 people crowded their littl'
towns and the cleared spaces of tn,

he said, though not all he said:
''The time has passed when you
can swear at the newspapers. We
don't consider that you are doing us

more than that we are doing you a

Of expediency. This town is growing.
The town helps to make your bust

The newspaper helps the town, and

newspaper. There is no favor about
it anyWhere-it is merely co-opera-
ton. Now, the place where there is
break in this cooperative scheme
is right here. The paper and the

Island were presently recognized
again and confirmed; but Massachu-
sets, instead of her old, got new
charter.
Plymouth lost her separate rights
altogether and was merged with Mas
sachusetts; and many things were
changed. 1t must have seemed to the
older men in the towns of the Ply
mouth grant as if the old freedom and
dignity of their life had been done
away with fovere.
Plymouth was the oldest of the
northern colonies, and had kept
through all the long seventy years OF
her separate life not a little of the
fine temper, the sober resoluteness,
steadfastness, moderation, and nobil-
ity given to her at the first by her
pilgrim founders. Surely the kings
advisers had forgotten her story when
they thus summarily and without
conjunction handed her government
| and territory over to Massachusetts,,
to be, as it were, obliterated and rob
bed of their identity! But such, it
seemed, was thsir way of bringing
system into the administration of the
northern colonies.
The new charte, was granted in
1891. 1t not only Joined Plymouth to
Massachusetts,, but Maine also, carry
| ing the northern borders of the prov
ince to the very banks of the St.
Lawrence. But, though it extended
her boundaries, it curtailed her liber-
ties, and it was this that the men of
the Bay principally noted.
Their governor was thenceforth to
be appointed by the crown. There
were to be courts of admiralty, Gus
toms officers, and postofice service
directly dependent upon the ministers
in London. There was to be a rep
resentative general court, almost as
before, consisting of the governor, his
council, and a house of deputies, and
the governors council of twenty-eight
was to be every year, after the first,
elected by the general court itself,
in which the peoples representatives
predominated.
Only the general court could lay
taxes and make general laws. But
the kings governor was to have the
right to veto any law of which he
did not approve, and the crown be-
| hind him might set the courts enact
ments aside, as disallowed, at any
time within three years after they
were passed.
i All the old rules as to who should
vote for deputies, too, were changed
The right to vote was no longer to
be confined to members of the Puritan
churches; it was to be exercised by
every man who had forty pounds
worth Of personal property, or free
hold estate in land worth two pounds
year. Judges were to be appointed
by the governor and council; all other
officials of the colony by the governor
alone.
1t was something to have one Of
their own fellow colonists, familiar
: figure among them, at least, for their
} first governor under the new arrange
J ment, though that did not alter his
powers, and he was hardly the mar

Munitions and Passengers
On the High Seas.

The Journal of Commerce has been
publishing some sane and very force
full editorials on the war situation,
none of which is more pertinent or
better worth reading than the fol-
lowing:
There is no doubt about the right of
steamship company, whether of a
belligerent or neutral country, to
carry passengers and munitions of
war on the same vessel. There is
no doubt about the right of citizens
of the United States to. ship NUM-
tons Of war by any vessel that will
take them, to be disposed of in other
countries, belligerent or neutral; and
there is no doubt about the right of
such citizens to travel on the same
vessel if they choose to take the risk;
but it is not always wise or safe to
insist upon exercising undoubted
rights. In times like the present it
may involve something more impor-
tant than individual rights or bust
ness interests.
In the present situation of war in
Europe and peril in the neighborhood
Of European ports, it would be far
better policy for passenger steamship
companies which incidentally carry
freight to avoid including arms and
munitions Of war in the same vessels.
They should certainly not carry these
without having it known to ell who
take passage on such vessels. 1t
would be wiser for passengers not
to go on vessels which carry cargo Of
1 this kind, though they may have q
perfect right to do so. Vessels which
carry eargoes of munitions and wal
supplies would do better not to make
bids for passenger traffic. Passen-
gers would do better rot to trave'
by them. The two classes of traffic
which traverse the war zone might
better be kept apart. The war zone
with its perils Is in itself objection
able, but it is there and it's perils are
real.
