friend had read so long and so well
that he was seeking in his quiet hours
to reflect upon the thoughts of the good

Importance OF the right kind of books.
A clever interviewer, who was preparing

privilege of looking over the books on
the shelves in his library. When asked
the reason why, he replied, Il want to

felt that he could get deeper look
into the mans philosophy of life by
familiarizing himself with his INTEL
lectual pursuits and habits. He was
probably impressed with the old adage,
Tell me the kind Of books man reads,
and / will tell you the kind Of man
he is" 1t is true that we are much
affected by environing conditions, by
our associations and the social prac-
tices in which we indulge. We are
more impressed and our outlook upon
life is more largely determined by the

The India Conference.

With adjournment of Parliament on

on The Twelfth. e., August Ia
Prime Minister Macdonald has made q
significant announcement with respect
to next October's india conference.
When that momentous round table IS
assembled in London, the Labor chief
tain told the House of Commons this
week, both opposition parties-C Con-
servatives and Liberals--will be invited
to sit down with Labor to help solve
the empires most burning problem.
Satisfaction, of Labor's foes ct West
minister with this proposal is tempered
by Mr. MacDonald's announcement that
it is not at present intended to ask Sir
John simon or any other member Of
the Simon commission to participate in
the conference. As discussion at Lon
don Is bound to range mainly around
the commissions recent report, some
resentment Is manifest over the pro-
posed exclusion of the men who may
be supposed to have the whole Indian
subject at their fingers ends. In its
mos. up to-date aspects. at any rate.
LABOR, the premier makes plain, will
let the opposition sit in ct the India
conference, but without any right to
exercise any real influence. That Is to
remain the prerogative of the govern
ment. IT must make 1t clear" said
Mr.. Macdonald TO the Commons, that
his majesty's government cannot throw
OF its constitutional responsibility, and
must retain complete freedom in regard
to the proposals which 1t win subse-
Quently lay before Parliament" There
are TO be no votes taken at the confer
ence. Indian Nationalist. who win be
given the opportunity Of taking part In
II, are therefore assured In advance that
they win run no risk OF having their
cause ridden over roughshod. On the
other hand, they are equally certain
that there is no prospect Of imposing
their independence views upon the con-
ference. -

The other afternoon an accident hap
pened in this city which demonstrates the
peril involved In the use of the zone
man cars" on lines in the District. A
woman passenger alighting from the
rear Of such a car was caught by the
hand In the closing OF the automatic
door and, unable TO free herself, was
compelled to run alongside for nearly
q block. Her screams and the cries
of pedestrians who noted her plight
at last drew the attention of the mo-
torman, who stopped the car and re-
leased the prisoner.
The door In this case is an automatic
device which is supposed to close only
when the alighting passenger has left
the step. That 1t can and may close
before is shown by this happening.
That the car can be started before the
passenger is free from the car Is like
wise shown. This is q grave danger.
It has constantly been urged that q
car operated by one man. who must
be both motorman and conductor, is not
SAFE, WndLCNCE tLiS OCNAGCc AOA SCNnAttys
He has too much to do in opening
doors, collecting fares. making change,
giving transfers and operating the
mechanism OF the car. And reliance
upon an automatic device at the rear
of the car, out of sight Of the motor
man-conductor in many instances
always, when the car is filled-to enable
passengers to leave the car ut that
end is especially unsafe, Is this acci-
dent illustrates. 1t may have been
that the passenger was careless In leav-
ing the step, permitting her hand to
remain within the range Of the closing
door, but that is more the fault OF the
system than of the passenger.
This accident should be studied by
the Public Utilities Commission, to the
end of determining whether the one
man equipment, however improved and
supposedly safeguarded, is safe enough
for use in Washington. The economy
of one-man operation is not the most
important factor. Public safety is the
paramount consideration in street rail-
way service.
