Wilson has gone in for Socialism by
embracing the policy of abridging our
liberties and increasing our taxes.
What the former senator from Texas
should have given us is obviously a
formula by which our liberties may be
enhanced and our taxes lowered 81
multaneously. The experience of the
last four years has been all the other
way. The world likes to believe that
it has indicated its liberties against
an aggressive Imperialism, but not
without very perceptible increase in
the tax rate. AS for the Presidents
filling up his cabinet with Socialists,
we trust there is no unkind allusion
here from one Texan to another, name
ly. Mr.. Burleson, whose fondness for
higher telegraph rates is undeniable
but whose affiliations with the /. w. w.
still remain to he demonStrated.-NeW

MANY LIVES LOST AT
STEAMSHIP LAUNCHING
Almost $50 Persons Hurled Into
Delaware River at Harri-
man, Pa, Yards.

Bristol, Patron ten to forty per-
sons were killed or drowned when
a temporary scaffolding extending
around the stern of boat on the
ways in the Merchant shipyard, at
Hartman, near here, collapsed while
nearly $50 persons We're standing on
it to view the launching of the freight
er Waukau. Twenty-Five injured were
taken to the Hartman Hospital.
Thousands had assembled to see the
launching. Eyewitnesses Of the acct
dent say the scaffolding seemed to
turn over, precipitating its occupants
into twenty-five feet of water. The
accident happened -fanr- minutes be-
fore the launching was scheduled to
take place.
The scene of the accident was No.
Hull, adjoining the ways where the
Waukau was to be launched. Driven
from other points of vantage by the
guards, workmen and spectators
crowded into a plank walk about five
feet in width and extending around
the stern of the Hull. This scaffOld
was erected to permit the worlipen to
pass around the stern withOun having
to return to shore each time they
passed from one side of the boat to
another
While workmen were saving the
keypiece on the Waukau the scaffold-
ing gave way and those standing on it
were thrown into the Delaware. An
instant later the keypiece parted and
the big Hull slid down the ways, the
suction, it is feared, drawing some Of
the victims down to the bottom of the
river. Every available craft, including
the tugs which We're on hand to make
fast to- the Waukau, rushed to the
scene Some of the victims, practical
ly all of whom were men, managed to
grasp the scaffolding and were pulled
to safety.
General Superintendent w. T. Will
son of the Merchants Shipbuilding
Corporation issued this statement:
"The many workmen were not sup
posed to be on the wooden patrol walk
which collapsed. The walk Is used
only for the guards on duty and the
workmen when they walk from one
of the ways to the other. The walk
was overcrOwded.
-Four dead and twenty-nine alive
have been taken out up to this time,
and the divers and men in boats are
continuing the search for bodies"

PUSH THE VEHICLE TUNNEL

The Senate Finance Committee has
voted to report favorably the Adler
bill, approprating $1,O0O,OOO of New
York S share of the cost of the We
hicle tunnel to New Jersey. There
should be no delay in pushing this bill
Two partially successful strikes on
Jersey ferryboats in fairly close sue
cession have taught the public how
precious the passenger tubes are in an
emergency. But it is not one whit
more imperative that persons shall
pass freely and swiftly between the
two states than it is that supplies of
certain kinds shall cross the river.
The harbor strikers seem to have
had some thought of recognizing this
fact when they decided that milk and
meat and hospital supplies might
share with the mails and with federal
supplies their graciously accorded i'm
munity from embargo. The fact that
the matter was debated is proof that
it might, that it may some day, be de-
cided otherwise if the people continue
to permit parties in private war to
war on them.
We had last winter an embargo of
another sort, an embargo laid by the
elements. What would not New York
and New Jersey have given then for IA
vehicle tunnel. We should have it as
soon as mind of man can plan it and
muscle dig it.-New York World.

containing them was beyond praise
For Colonel Harveys enlightenment,
however, we are willing to explain to
him the circumstances which brought
them into being. The war was going
badly for the allies in the early Win
ter of 1917. The Italian disaster had
proved almost tragic. The Bolsheviki
had obtained possession of Russia and
were in conference with the Germans
at Brest-Litovsk. Allied diplomacy had
been discredited by the secret treaties
of 1918, of which the Bolsheviki were
making the best possible use in the
interest of Germany and which Ger
man propaganda was capitalizinS ev-
erywhere.
There was general complaint that
the allies had made no clear and def
mite statement of their war aims and
objects The question had been
brought up in Paris, and the United
States had favored a detailed state
ment signed by all the belligerents ar
rayed against the central powers.
There were differences of opinion as
to how this could be done, and Presi-
dent Wilson finally decided to make
such statement himself.
In the meantime the British labor
conference had bluntly demanded that
