not the proper thing. Croquet on a

mer diversions of most of our people.
Things began to change when the
bicycle came. and when women began
to ride the wheel the end of the world
was near. From the wheel women

Persia Pledges Full Amends.

The fullest satisfaction for the kill
ing of Maj. Imbrie, vice consul at
Teheran, is expressed by the Persian
government in terms that leave no
possible ground for question as to it's
full good faith. From the outset, in
deed, the government at Teheran has
acted in this matter in the sincerest
spirit of regret and desire to make
amends. 1t has passed over the point
that Maj. Imbrie was not engaged in
official business when he aroused the
anger Of the mob, and the further fact
that he was transgressing by attempt
ing to photograph a sacred shrine and
also Persian women. These matters
are not now mentioned in the Per.
sian governments complete and ex.
plicit avowel of regret and responsi.
bility.
There is a touch of pathos in the
reply of the Teheran government. In
answer to the demand Of the United
States that the expenses of sending
an American warship to a Persian
port to bring home the remains of
Maj. Imbrie, it is stated that the Per.
sian government would be glad to
ship the body to America aboard a
Persian man-of-war if Persia pos
sessed one. Lacking a warship, how
ever, it will meet the expenses of
sending an American ship to a Per-
sian port for that purpose.
Thus there is no danger of breach
of relations, or even a strain between
the United States and Persia as "a re-
suit of this lamentable tragedy. The
government at Teheran has certainly
done everything in it's power to make
amends. 1t gives assurance that some
of those implicated in the murder OF
the vice consul have been arrested
and that others are soon to be taken.
1t may be assumed that their punish
ment will follow.

It nestles now at the bottom Of a great
canyon. It is conspicuous by it's low
elevation and its old-fashioned front
and srimy wallis. But It is land
mark, truly q monument Of the past.
1t was in its day an especially fine
building. There were those who criti.
cized the Government for the expense
of erecting it. Thus so there were
those who predicted that the Govern
ment itself could not stand long. But
the Subtreasury remains, as the Gov
ernment remains. 1t would be sacri.
lege to disturb it. Whatever its uses,
it should be preserved precisely as
1t Is.

scum with relics of the financial his
tory Of the United States. 1t will re.

Automatic Train Control.

1t appears from a more complete
statement Of the Interstate Commerce
Commissions recent action regarding
automatic train control that that body
has not, as appeared at first, actually
halted the installation of this safe
guard against collisions. The prin-
ciple Of automatic control remains as
initially adopted by the commission,
and applies to 49 major railroads,
which are all under requirement to in
stall such a system on at least one
locomotive division by the 1st Of
January. 1925. The commissions re-
cent order relieved certain other rail-
roads from this requirement and lifted
the time limit on a supplementary
order affecting the first group of rail-
roads.
The commission i'm it's decision de.
clares that to halt the work already
under way in order to await the de-
cision Of a joint committee named by
the roads and the commission, which
has been suggested by the roads,
would "unduly delay the progress of
train control" While there is merit
In the plan Of inquiry and research
suggested by the carriers, and the
commission will cooperate in such a
plan, it will not permit it to serve as
an excuse for delay in the installa.
tions.
This is a most gratifying situation.
and The Star is pleased to correct the
early unfavorable impression that re-
suited from the incompleteness of the
reports of the commissions action.
Automatic train control may be re-
garded as established principle. The
commissions refusal to abrogate it
through an indefinite postponement
may be accepted as a final assurance
that SO far as the Governments au-
thority can extend the railroads will
be compelled to proceed with inStalla.
tions.
Granting the fullest measure of
good faith to the proposal Of the rail-
roads that the installations be halted
pending an inquiry by a joint commits
sion representing the roads and the
Interstate Commerce Commission, the
fact remains that such a check would
be regarded by the public as a ma.
neuver on the part of the carriers to
stop the work. The record Of the
American railroad companies in other
times in the matter of the adoption of
safety devices and notable mechanical
improvements is such as to encoura ge
such a belief, though it might have no
justification in fact now. The public
hope is that the railroad companies
realize the imperative need of COM
plying in the fullest Of good faith
with the mandate Of the commission
in order that life may be made safer
upon their lines.

Davis on Defense Day.

John w. Davis, brought by circum-
stances to the point of accepting or re-
pudiating his ticket mates statements
regarding National Defense day, has
wisely chosen the simple course of
adopting Gov. Bryan's views in part,
while remaining silent on certain Of
his expressions. Denying that there is
or that he is in disagreement with his
companion candidate, he indorses as
entirely sound" the view Of the gov
ernor that there is no necessity at
this time to encourage civilians to
leave their occupations for the pur-
pose of engaging in what could only
be a military demonstration without
any practical educational effect
This leaves the matter in it's best
possible shape from the political point
of view. 1t does not challenge Defense
day as it is proposed in principle by
the administration, but takes eXcep-
tion to the invitation to all civilians to
join in the assembly of the potential
defensive forces of the United States.
Since the statement made by Gov.
Bryan on this point, the War Depart
ment has disclaimed any purpose of a
civilian mobilization, and that phase
of the plan may be regarded as now
obsolete
It will be noted that Mr.. Davis does
not 60 so far as to accept or even
comment upon the views of Gov
Bryan about the misunderstanding of
American purposes by other peoples
and about the number of wars from
which America has been saved by not
dictum by the Nebraska executive re-
mains as personal view and not as a
political pronouncement.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Davis has handled
this situation with skill. preventing
the question from becoming a verita-
BILE issue in the campaign. Had he
gone the full length of indorsing all
that the governor said the question of
preparedness" would have become
such an issue.
The incident, however, has its i'm
portance in illustrating the possibility
of issue-making through indiscretion.
Nobody, of course, knows what has
passed in the way of private communi.
cation between the candidates. AS far
as the public is aware the matter is
closed. Defense day will be observed,
and save for the Socialists and their
adopted allies, the La Toilette pro
gressives, it will probably not become
q matter Of campaign comment.
