for failure to gather and publish a
certain incident as a good piece of

the incident of which the Crouch

WASHINGTON COMMENT

The last Knickerbocker victim
buried, the last manned body shipped
away to sorrowing relatives in the
home town, official Washington turns
whole-heartedly to the task of hold
ing Investigations, fixing the
blame" and of uttering portentous
and voluminous remarks designed to
show the folks at home how much on
the job the utterer is!
After battle the buzzards gather;
after holocaust the authorities who
did nothing to prevent it gather to
discuss whose fault 1t was!
All very necessary. doubtless. but
rather Intellectual. Regardless of the
cause of the disaster, whether 1t was
weight of snow or weakness of steel
or inefficiency of engineering or lax
ness of building inspection, or vibra-
tion caused by street cars on cross
ing, the undoubted fact remains that
it is not nearly so important to fix
the blame" and punish the guilty"
as it is vitality important to know
whether other such accidents, both in
the National Capital and in other CT
ties, are now in process of getting
ready to happen!
The nation will look with far more
favor on the Congressman or Senator
who initiates something concrete and
looking to the prevention of
such dreadful calamities in the future
than on those who seek an ephemeral
local notoriety by proposals to make
park on the site or to deco
rate heroic rescuers, or to hang, draw,
and quarter the committee of stock
holders of the steel mill which hired
The manager who employed the super
who paid the workman who
rolled the steel which went into the
truss which gave away!
