The only possible cure for these err

is the establishment Of an automatic
stop system, which prevents train from
entering an occupied block, by stopping
the locomotive If the engineer, through
his own fault or that Of another, at
tempts to run into the danger field. It
has been claimed that the automatic
stop system is fallible. Certainly the
block system when operated as it was
at Shepherdsville is fallible to the point
of CHASTITY, murderous failure. The au-
tomato stop could be no worse than the
signal operator who shows the "clear"
signal on the heels Of slow train.

Directors to Pay Increases.

Hearings on the proposed increase in
the pay Of postal employees are post
poned until January Z, when, it is stated,
Collectors to an increase will be given
an opportunity to be heard" Are there
any "objectors"7 It is hard to under
stand upon what ground any one can
object to an increase in the pay Of the
postal employees, or the workers in any
other branch of the government. OBJ
lection implies an argument, and valid
argument against better pay for the
clerks is beyond conception. It may, Of
course, be said that the government
cannot afford to pay higher wages while
it is waging war. But it is paying more
for everything else it gets and the clerks
are the only ones selling to the govern
ment who are getting the same as be-
fore-save for the small bonus granted
last session for years duration. They
are selling service, hard, faithful, eff
cient service, and getting the same
money for it that they or their prede-
cessors did half a century ago, in those
scarcely to be imagined times when
prices of necessities were low. 1t will be
interesting to note who the DIRECTORS
are and what their reasons for not pay
ing the postal workers more will prove
to be.

The scene was Madison Square Gar
den, New York city, which was packed
to the doors with . crowd eager to hear
an address which all believed would out
line the next Democratic national plat
form. Mr.. Bryan was even then assured
of his third nomination to the presi-
dency, and it was plain that he would
write, and be, the platform.
The reference on that occasion to gov
eminent ownership and operation Of
railroads was so definite and pronounced,
it sent chill up and down the spines of
many democrats present, men who had
supported the speaker in his two races
for the presidency and had come ex-
pecting to support him in another. They
were amazed at the deliverance, and
then became alarmed. Their fear was
that this new issue would take the place
in Mr.. Bryan's program of the silver
issue, and east of the Mississippi river,
and especially in New York and neigh
boring states, do him as his party's can
didate quite as much injury at the polls.
Some of these men protested, by leav-
ing the meeting before the speech was
concluded. Others heard Mr.. Bryan
through, and next day, or later, pro-
tested in interviews in the newspapers.
Apparently, the protests had effect, be-
cause Mr.. Bryan did not in any future
address repeat his recommendation, and
it did not appear in the platform on
which he stood for the presidency that
year.
What influence the Madison Square
Garden speech had on Mr.. Bryan's third
effort to reach the White House is prob
lematical So far as the east was con-
cerned he was still heavily handicapped
by the memory Of the sixteen-to-cne is
sue. If he had never mentioned gov
eminent ownership and operation Of
railroads he would still have been a
weak candidate in the section he him
self had described as "the enemy's coun-
try"
The difference between 1908 and 1917,
so far as this railroad question is con-
cerned, is very great. Then, the world
was at peace, and governments we're
functioning in normal fashion Now,
the world is at war, and many things
are upside down, and some things
chaotic.

More Luxburg kilograms.

Further revelations of the amazing
Count Lu1burg's Vaccinations in Ar
gentina do not add materially to the rec
ord save to confirm beyond the posi-
biiity of question that Germany was en-
gagged until recent date in efforts to
combine the more powerful South Amer
lean states against the United States.
Undoubtedly the disclosure Of the Lux
burg kilograms to Berlin through Swe-
den brought these efforts to an abrupt
halt. They showed the existence of a
secret understanding between the Ger
man representative and certain high Ar
gentine officials and conflict between
those officials and others. Had the SEN
timent Of the people, aroused by the
revelation Of German duplicity and
treachery, been allowed full expression
Argentina would have declared war
against Germany. But administrative
influence stemmed this tide and Argen-
tina as consequence has meanwhile
merely dismissed the offending German
representative as unacceptable. Now it
is proved beyond question, through these
additional kilograms, that there was an
effort to combine Argentina-with certain
other South American powers in the
German interest against North America.
What the result Of these new disclo-
sures win be cannot be foretold, but
it viii be surprising If they do not bring
Argentina out Of the sentimental state
into an avowed and active hostility to
the power that has sought to use her
as pawn in its own selfish game while
treaeherously sinking her ships @with-
out trace" Germany has not yet dis
avowed Luxburg, and in the face Of the
kilograms that have now been sent forth
could not possibly do so without involve
ment in most shameless falsehood. It
is the Berlin government and not Count
Luxburg that stands convicted of du-
plicity, injury and insult against Ar.
gentina.

A Long and Animated Session.

Congress is in recess until Thursday,
nanuary 8, two weeks from yesterday.
Speaker Clark and Senator Borah were
right. There should have been no re-
cess. Work had been begun, and had
I there been no interruption, except on
Christmas day and New Year day, Con-
gress would have been fairly in its stride
by the time now appointed for it to re-
assemble More than two weeks will be
lost. Probably not before January 10,
when the suffrage question comes up in
the House, will the attendance be good.
Before the session began the prospect
ment. So much that could then be spec
lied awaited attention. Quite as much
more might grow out of the develop
ments of the war. Senators and repre-
sentatives seemed to face eight, and
maybe nine, months of q steady Wash
ington grind.
Since then two things have occurred
TO make likely not only protracted,
but most animated session. War has
been declared on Austria Hungary, and
congressional investigations have been
ordered on questions relating to war ac-
ttivities A demand for speeding up has
arisen, and Congress is yielding to it.
That is to say, Congress will prod those
executives charged with putting the
country into action, but whose perform
ances, for one reason or another, have
: fallen under public criticism.
But this prodding process will Of it
\ech take time. First, committees will
look into tho facts, and then Senate and
House will discuss the findings of the
committees.
I. Nevertheless, Congress should do its
work thoroughly. As Admiral Farragut
said about the torpedoes in Mobile bay,
never mind the timel If weeks, or even
monfha, should be necessary to undo
Whist has been wrongly done, and do
what has not yet been begun, they should
be devoted to the work. Too much is at
stake to make tolerable in any matter
Of importance either ineapacity, care
lesmess or neglect.
There should not, and probably will
zee be snap judgment taken in any
eass. The country wants fair and just
measure meted' out to all. Some very
seompetant and excellent men have with
uzsalfish and highly patriotic motives
undertaken very difficult tasks. and may
not have succeeded as they desired and
deserved. Justice founded on the facts
should mark every step taken to set the
country right.
