A Ghastly Railroad Wreck.

One of the most disastrous railroad
wrecks in the Eastern part of this
country in many years occurred yes
terday near Rockport siding, N. j.,
when seven-car passenger train
was derailed and 36 persons were
killed and over so were injured. The
accident is attributed to the effect of
a severe storm which caused a land
slip in a cut, covering the rails. The
storm had burst with sudden fury, and
no knowledge of the condition of the
track was had by the train crew, or,
it would seem, by dispatchers. 1t
must have occurred shortly before the
train reached the point of derailment.
So far as known there was no fault
on the part of the railroad forces. 1t
was an unprecedented happening
against which no provisioning, under
the existing system of track inspec-
ton, could be made.
The question arises whether the pro-
posed system of automatic train stops
which the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has ordered for installation
would have operated to warn dis
patchers or train crews of the con-
dition OF the line. This Is 4 me-

A Dry Straw in New Jersey.

A victory for the ''drys" in New Jer.
sey, which Senator Edward I. Edwards
once boasted he would make as wet
as the Atlantic Ocean, is not without
its significance. State Senator Arthur
Whitney, backed by the Ants loon
League, in the primaries yesterday de.
feated the so-called liberal candi.
date, former Attorney General Thomas
r. McCran, backed by Senator Edge
by substantial plurality for the Re
publican nomination for governor
The strength shown by the "drys''
in this New Jersey contest was even
greater than indicated by the plurality
attained by Senator Whitney. a third
candidate for the Republican nomina.
ton. former District Judge Cornelius
Doremus, ran as a bone dry" The
Whitney supporters charged that his
candidacy was fostered by the vets
in order to split the dry" vote and
make it possible for McCran to win.
The "dryS" are rejoicing today, par
ticularly in view of the frank declara
"
the primaries that the campaign had
developed into the old fight between
the so-called vets and dryS, with Nc
Gran unquestionably receiving the lib
eral support"
Prohibition, like the tariff, was for
"a long time a local issue" in many
parts of this country. 1t is no longer
a local issue, although it is still
strenuously opposed in some of the
so-called wet" States. The Republican
administration at Washington has
set its hand to the task of enforcing
the prohibition law the country over.
Republican leaders who seek to con-
troll in their districts and States and
at the same time to handicap the ma
tional administration in the enforce
ment of the law might do well to give
this matter little thought.
The real test in New Jersey will
come next November when the sup
porters of Senator Whitney and his
Democratic opponent go to the polls
to choose a governor. The Republicans
will be committed through their
candidate to the prohibition law and
to alignment with the Republican ad-
ministration in Washington in it's eff
forts to stamp out violations of the law.

SUPPORT the Traffic Director!

An astonishing lack of cooperation
District and Director of Traffic Ell
bridge is shown in the change the
Commissioners have made at the south
end of Connecticut Avenue Bridge
while the director was on an inspeC-
ton tour through the Eastern cities.
After carefully working out plan
for the frictionless flow of traffic
through one of the heavily congested
lanes of the city, Mr.. Eldridge, i'll the
performance of his duty, left Washing
ton to inspect traffic in other cities.
No sooner had he turned his back on
the National Capital than the Commits
sioners. acting on protests of tenants
of an apartment house, who claimed
that the noise created by the normal
street traffic was "disturbing, changed
the routing of automobiles back to
where it was before.
The Eldridge plan for traffic at this
point was the logical solution of a bad
situation. 1t eliminated criss-cross
80
such a way that there were no con-
flicting arteries of travel
But that is not the serious part of
the change made by the Commission
ers If the director of traffic is to
have his powers curtailed in such a
manner there seems to be little -hope
that Washington may expect improve
ment in the general situation.
Mr.. Eldridge since his appointment
has devoted his days and nights to
hard work. He is probably the most
competent man who could be obtained
to fill the position. Under the condi
tions which surround him, being forced
to work through the chief of police
and the Commissioners, he has accom-
plished material benefits for Washing
ton
If, however, his carefully laid plans
are cast aside because of noise Great
ed by automobiles running along the
streets of the city and the complaints
of few citizens, what chance has he
of correcting the traffic evils at many
points in Washington?
Director Eldridge should have the
utmost cooperation from every citi-
zen. every policeman and every Com
missioner. He is the man who has
been given the job of installing a sys-
tenn of modern traffic regulation in
Washington. If his plans for better
ment go astray in some cases, as they
may do, he is the man to rescind
them. He should be supported and
not hampered in his efforts to make
Washington the safest city for auto
mobile traffic in the world.
