Street Traffic Accidents.

Two children each four years old were run
over by automobiles in the streets Of Washing
ton on Sunday, being killed and the other
seriously injured There is no evidence to show
that the operator of either machine was reck-
less and the accidents, deplorablc as they arc,
can only be attributed to the fact that the gen
Cral public does not yet recognize that there
are dangers incident to modern street traffic bcvond
the control OF even the most careful operators of
motor vehicles and which can only be guarded
against by pedestrians themselves No one will
attempt to defend the man, whether profess
slonal chauffeur operator OF his own automo-
bile, who dlsregards the safety Of children or
adults in the streets. A few of them to be
encountered every day. They are a very small
proportion OF the whole, but they should be Sc
verely punished at every opportunity without
waiting for them to injure any one
The plain truth, however is that many Of
the traffic accidents in this city are due to the
failure OF those on foot to take ordinary pre-
cautions for their O~n protection under circum.
stances not within control OF the motorists In
stances OF injury to children who suddenly and
with preliminary sign dart from sidewalk to
street are frequent, but not a few cases Of
death or injury ovcrtaking adults who heed
lesSly step from the curb directly in front Of
vehicles recorded. 1t is scarcely possible
to avoid accidents under such circumstances
without greatly imparing the usefulness of the
most important modern means OF transporta-
ton that has become valuable economic fac
tor. The measure of the automobiles service
would be reduced to a minimum were it COM
PEELED to proceed at pace that would permit
operators to avoid running down persons sud-
denly appearing directly in their path a dozen
feet ahead
Since no such regulation is at all practicable
pedestrians will have to learn to keep thei
wits about them if they value their own lives
and limbs. Eventually they will learn that
there are certain traffic regulations for them
TO obey, and that it is almost as unsafe for them
TO attempt to cross city street at the wrong
place and moment as it is heedlessy to expose
themselves on a steam railroad track 81 me
pedestrians will contend that such conditions
constitute an infringement upon their rights,
but they exist and will continue to exist be-
cause the automobile a highly valuable and
convenient means of transportation is here to
stay
While there will always be exacting re-
qurements OF the chauffeurs pedestrians will
have to do their share and thei; motto should be
safety FIRST To teach children to keep out of
danger is an important duty Of parents At
present 1t may appear to be hardship for them
to be compelled to conhne their play to the
sidewalks, but after they have been thoroughly
taught the lesson that the streets are dangerous
they will naturally and permanently abandon
them as Fairgrounds, and the casualty lists will
be curtaed.

Some Different Ways Of Doing.

Maledictions deep muttered curses, with all
evil words, will presently be heard against the
Colonel for damage done to the prospects OF the
Democratic party by his refusal to head third
ticket, a course which has brought great disap-
pointment to the party in power and aroused
the resentment of its leaders.
Meanwhile the campaign has opened even
before all the nominations have been made. Mr..
Norman E Mack, Democratic national commit
tceman for New York, calls on Justice Hughes
to reply to certain queries, much like the gen
tleman Of sporting turn in Mrs. Todgers COM
mercial boarding house who "propoundcd ques-
tonS on jockey subjects to the editors of Sunday
papers which were regarded by his friends as
rather stiff things to answer" Among the
questions propounded by Mr.. Mack to Mr..
Hughes is What would you do differently;
how would you run things better than Presi-
dent Wilson has DONE"
Just Mr.. Justice Hughes is not in po-
sition TO answer those questions he may do it
later. But some OF his friends are inclined to
answer them for him by asking counter-ques-
tions OF Mr.. Wilson. They would ask Mr.. Will
son, for example, if he had it to do again,
whether he would decline to join the other ma
ons Of the world in recognizing the only
legitimate government in Mexico at the time,
the provisional government of Gen. Huerta duly
one at the moment in position to maintain
order and protect the lives and property OF
Americans and other foreigners in Mexico. And
would he now he did later on, interfere in
the internal affairs OF Mexico by announcing
that Gen. Huerta must not be candidate for
election president OF the Mexican republic;
and finally, on himsy question OF how many
guns should be fired in a salute. would he
again actually make war on Mexico by send
ing an army and feet to capture its chief sea-
port and kill over a hundred MexcanS, all for
the purpose of driving Gen. Huerta from the
country, as has been done, while the precious
Carranza later recognized as de facto ruler
in his place?
1t is the firm belief OF most people Of this
country, unless the signs at fault, that Mr..
Hughes would not have done these things in
this way had he been President of the United
States with another man than W. J. Bryan for
his Secretary OF State.
As to relations with Germany it is not to be
doubted that a protest at least would have been
made against the ruin OF Belgium by Germany
had Mr.. Hughes been President, because the
United States had signed the treaty with other
rations for its protection. And later on Ger
many actually would have been held to "strict
accountability" for the murder OF over hun
cred American men, and children on
the Lusitania These are some OF the things
that it may be believed Mr.. Hughes would have
done differently from President Wilson and
many convinced that they would thus have
been done better.

The average rate OF duty under the
| Mckinley Act had been about 30 per
cent; the House bill had reduced II to
about 3511; the changes made in the SEN
ate increased it to about 81.
1t was not the general increase Of rates
effected in the Senate that held the at

very noticeable activity OF a group of

water there will be headway of forty feet, so
that there will be plenty of cearage for masts,
