PREVENTING ACCIDENTS

After an automobile accidents has
 occurred it Is comparatively easy to
 speculate as to what caused it. and
 how 1t might have been prevented.
 When such speculation leads to con-
 clusions that might help in preventing
 other accidents, it is distinctly worth
 while.
 Prevention Of accidents requires
 caution by both automobile drivers
 and pedestrians. Where one or the
 other lacks caution, double responsi- bility is placed upon one Of the parties.
 Those who exercise caution-both
 automobile drivers and pedestrians are greatly in the majority else the
 daily annihilation Of life would be
 prodigioHs But fl only requires a l reckless few to endanger the safety i Of the many. As the newspapers amply testify, the number or fatal accidents ] remain far too numerous. indicating 1 that the element Of caution is by no means universal. as it should be.
 Caution by automobilists not only consists in careful driving. but in care ful supervision Of the car as well. Just as fl is necessary for a man or woman 10 be able 10 drive a car properly bee fore venturinE upon the highways. so is it necessary that the car be in good repair, so as to respond instantly to the touch of the drivet. Defective brakes have been something for which there is scarcely an excuse. as every driver can easily detect such defect
 Caution by pedestrians in crossing a street would indicate that such pas ga ge should not be undertaken except when free of approaching automobiles from all directions. Cautious drivers are on inc lockout for pedestrians and arc prepared to give them opportunity to cross. To err on the side Of too much caution is preferable 10 erring on inc side Of not enough.
 Lacking the reasoning power of grown persons. fl is hard to make l. some children understand inc npces- 1 eify bf extreme carefulness in cross ! ing streets: and conditions being as they are it is the beighth Df folly and ] negligence for autoists 10 fail to Bsi on constant guard against children.
 The duty of parents is obvious. IL Is essential that they impress their with the dangers Of crossing streets without due ustchfuIness. The best method Is for parents not 10 per- init young children to run errsnds Tor them rhtch take them across highways. The number of tsry small

Observations On Tie Weather

Washington, June 27.--Forecast for Eastern New York: Showers this afternoon and probably tonight; Saturday generally fair: little change in temperature; moderate, shifting winds.
 Forecast for Southern New Eng land: Showers this afternoon and probably tonight; Saturday generally fair: little change in temperature; gentle to moderate variable winds.
 Conditions-Pressure is high along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and low in the interior of the country. Cloudy and unsettled weather with local showers prevails this morning from Ohio eastward to tho coast. Several places reported more than an inch of main. The temperature is slightly lower in northern sections than 1t was yesterday.
 Conditions favor for this vicinity unsettled showery weather and not much change in temperature.

ORGANIZED OyATIONs

An organized ovation at a political convention produces excitement and fun, but it is doubtful whether il sways delegates. In the New York convention, for instance, the relative strength of MeAdoo and Smith was well known even before the doors opened. The adherents of both con- tnue to adhere, no matter what kind of ovations are instigated, until after the first ballot. Sometimes they stick little longer. Ultimately the breaking up process begins and somebody has to be nominated.
 There is the possibility at a conven- ton that the candidate whose name is received with only a modest ovation ultimately runs off with the nomna- ton. This has happened so often that it is likely 10 occur again at this con- ventlon. It is sad for packers Of candidates with the greatest populari- ty to contemplate that after all the shouting Is over some dark horse may run off with the prize.
 Smith and McAdoo packers remain hopeful, but up to this writing the former has decidedly the better of the tustle. Tho dark horses are being groomed, however, for short run around the track and then, unwinded, arc prepared to take the run 10 the finish. As 10 tho final outcome, one mans guess remains as good as an- others.

NEW RAIL MAGNATES

Two young real estate magnates of Cleveland, brothers, Van Sweringens by name, have turned into the most pronounced railroad promoters of the age. They began in a small way sev- eral years ago, obtained control of the Nickel Plate railroad, the Chesapeake X Ohio, a number Of other smaller lines, and now are credited with hay ing gained control of the Erie.
 With the addition Of this venerable system, which took several decades to recuperate from the slough of finan- cial despondency caused by stock jobbers and mismanagement a gener- alton ago, the Van Sweringens will control more than 4.0O0 miles of track.
 Railroads which they so far have touched are highly prosperous. They have proven themselves honest and capable railroad builders. The firm of Morgan is said to be the nucleus of a group of Wall street fnanciers who have been willing to back the young magnates, whose names a few years ago were entirely unknown in railroad circles.
 The New Haven apparently doesn't remotely interest the Van Sweringens.

The judge did not permit Mellon to be quizzed by Means at- torney except on strictly relevant questions, saying the government was not on trial, Had he been an ordinary witness, however, it is probable he would have been forced to answer more questions.
