Night Sessions Next.

The Senate tax debate will enter

The Senator in charge of the bill will
ask for night sessions in order to ex-
pedite the discussion. 1t is now In the

rice having been given that on Mon.
day a motion will be made to protract
the sttttnss beyond the usual hour of
recess, it is probable that it will pre-.

sit continuously until the final vote.
Thus far there has been no evidence
of a disposition to delay action. The
passage of the bill is definitely as
sured. The only question is as to GER
tain specific features. The surtax pro.
visions as approved by the committee
have been adopted. There remains of
the controverted matters practically
only the publicity repeal issue, and it
would seem that there are votes to
spare for its adoption. Nevertheless,
there will be debate on that point, as
on others, and judging from the pages

lision was caused by the failure to
observe signals. He adds:
This accident again calls attention
to the necessity for the use of an auto
matte train-control device, which will
intervene to stop a train when an en-
gineman for any reason disregards the
stop indication of an automatic block
signal. Had an adequate automatic
train-control device been in use at this
point this accident would have been
averted.

is given. now in rear-end, now in

Yet the railroads are resisting,
Or at best, responding reluctantly

terstate Commerce Commission that
an automatic train-control device be
installed. They continue to depend
upon their train crews and their
visual signal systems as infallible,
whereas the records clearly show
that they are far from infallible. The
travelling public is constantly exposed
to death despite rigid rules and re.
quirements. the efficacy of which de-
pends upon complete fidelity TO every
cautionary regulation.
The death toll taken while waiting
for obedience to the commissions or
der for the installation of automatic
train-control systems would nav for
the change if capitalized in dollar

Importance than hundreds Of column

kipling is not only a pleasure to

Ihis Mediterranean voyage merely as
an aid to convalescence. he can no
more help gaining thereon experiences

eventual material for stories and for
poems than, now fully recovered, he
can help drawing breath. He is but
sixty years of age, and the world will
one day reap the benefit.
Only a few can take as many trips
Hs they please. Only a few more can
take any trips at all, and compara-
lively few get any good out of the
trips they do take. The length or the
locality of the trip planned by this

Some members of Congress, as well

1t would be safe to say that the
most cheerful people in the world
Wthout exception, are those who with
fidelity and devotion are seeking to
walk in the steps of Him who went
about doing good" A brilliant modern
dramatist puts on the lips of one of
| his characters this striking sentence
concerning the persistence of Christs
influence: The earth is His and He
made 1t; He and His brothers have
been molding it and making il
through the long ages; they are the
only ones who ever did possess it; not
| the proud. not the idle, not the vaunt
Ing empire of the world"
X x \; \
To the vision of this writer, the
| hope of the world resides in the un
| broken succession Of those noble men
and women whose lives are dominated
and controlled by the uplifted Christ
AS we look about us today we inevi
| tably discover that those, whether
| rich or poor, who are leading satisfac-
tory and compensating lives have
| learned the great maxim Of the Mas
ter: He that loseth his life shall find
It," 1t is not an easy lesson to learn
nor is it an easy rule to live by, but
| that 1t brings in its train that which
the world can neither give nor take
away is conspicuously true. After all
pursuing the line of least resistance,
living for self and self qualification. Is
not as alluring as 1t appears TO be. To
overcome the world, to win the stern
battles OF life and to stand at last con
scious of victory calls for fortitude,
courage and unfailins perseverance.
The poet was altogether right when
he wrote the lines:
The greatest victory over man at

Is that which DER himself himself
hath gained

These lines remind us Of the ancient
proverb: "He that ruleth his spirit is
mightier than he that taketh Il city.
Our youth need to have presented to
them today the heroic elements in the
life program of Jesus Christ. Indeed
men and women of every sort and kind
need IL like preSentation. There can
be no cheerfulness Of IL real and abid

there can be no service without sacri-

Japan, to meet this menace, has been

History suggests that these armed

IN the end sufficiently to expel the
Russians and japanese and all mill

The Travelling Public Paws,

An official report by the director OF
the Bureau Of Safety, Interstate Com.
merce Commission, OH the accident
which occurred November II last at
Monmouth Junction, N. j., describes
the conditions in that tragedy, which
resulted in the death Of ten persons
and the injury Of thirty-flve others. 1t
shows that the disaster was due to the
failure of the. engineer of the colliding
train to heed a precautionary signal
at one signal bridge and a stop signal
at another. A dense fog prevailed at
the time, which doubtless obscured the
lights. They were, however. visible.
Some question arises whether the flag.
man of the forward train gave suffi.
cient warning. He planted fusees, but
failed, it seems, to place torpedoes on
the rails. Had he set torpedoes, their
detonation would have given the en-.
gineer of the following train unmis-
taxable warning. But, in any case, ac-
cording to the report. of the safety
director Of the commission, the col
