There must be some way of find- ing out, the answer to those questions, | the | for there must be some one, or some- be ! thing to blame for the condition of | the steamer Eastland which turned | turtle in' the Chicago river last Sat- ! urday. 2 On June 14, 1904, the General Slo- cum, loaded with a cargo of excur- sionists ‘caught fire near Hell Gate, New York, causing the loss of many lives.. An investigation followed ana the captain of that boat was sen- tenced to ten years in the :peniten- tiary at hard labor. A reform 'was started in the inspection of excur- sion boats, and up to the time :the Eastland went down there had been no great disaster.of this kind. Had the same diligénce which was insti- tuted shortly after the Genera Slo- cum disaster been maintained there would now be no cause for sorrow in Chicago. s !

Alded and abstted by slip shod of- | ‘ ficlals the men who own ships have, in many cases, neglected to comply with the regulations. Many of our excursion steamers are little better | than tubs. An annual painting covers a multitude of weak spots, ‘and in- spectors sometimes fail to look be- neath the veneering. If anything should be protected, it k is the excursion boat. Every c§y in the sumuner thousands of women and ' children leave the big cities on these boats for a trip down the bay, or the river, or the lake.

A great reform was ‘then instituted bringing in the as- bestos curtain and the emergency exits. Since then no similar dis: | asters have occured, because the peo- ple have not yet forgotten that hotror. Reforms are totally useless if they spring up in a day only to die with the coming of the night.

Who is to blame for allewing it to operate so ‘long to the peril of unwarned men, women and children?

Johnston of the In- ternational Structural Ironworkers’ union, as follows: " “Bridgeport will be starving inside three years. When they stop making | vrar munitions the whole prosperity | thousands out of work.” Bridgeport probably will not become down hearted over this effort to dis- turb the confidence of its citizens, but ag there are others besides Johnston who are prone to discount such pros- perity as Bridgeport’s present indus- irial boom has brought to it, it is worth considering. There may be a considerable setback to such a community svon after the s#uspension -of war abroad, but the chances are far better that there will be a sudden transformation of its in- dustries from product of war goods to that of the tools ot peaceful pur- guits. Illustrations of this possibility are to be found in American history immediately following the war. Num- erous inventions which had no oppor- tunity to reach the market during the war were in such demand immediately after that industries engaged exclu. sively in the production of munitions almost immediately turned to the pro- duction of new articles.

WHAT OTHZIRS 3AY ' Views ou all sides of uwmecly questions as discussed in ex- changes that come fo Herald offico. The Mother’s Pension Wave. (Torrington Register.) The Mothers’ Pension convention at San Francisco has called attention to the remarkable strides made by this “latest and most successful reform.” Five years ago the idea of the stnlf or the local community pensionirg poor mothers to enable them to sup- vort thaeir children comfortably and self-respectingly at home, instead of letting children go to public institu- tions, was unheard of. Today 25 states have adopted the system, en- abling any community within their borders to provide such support in cases where the father has died or hE‘ls failed to discharge his duty. It is estimated that during the present year more than $10,000,000 will be paid to mothers. The movement, ap- parently, is destined to spread to all the other utates. Henry Neil, the Chicago man who was responsible for most of the pro- paganda in its early stages, now advo- cates the payment of the pensions not by the juvenile courts, as at present, but through the pubic school organ- ization. That looks like an improve- ment. Most cities have, as yet, no Jjuvenile courts. Even where there ars such institutions, the schoo! system can more easily and naturally canvas the community and reach deserving cases, ond do it without any of the “flavor of criminality” which many persons think attaches to the juvenile court. Correct Convictions. (San Francisco Bulletin.) Qnpe most valuable contribution to the subjsct of free speech comes from the pen of Chancellor Day of Syra- cuse university, who says: ‘Convic- tions must be more than honest; they must be correct.” This disposes of the whole difficulty of free speech, whether it be free speech for workingmen in “company towns,” ar free speech for university professors. First ascertain, through Chancellor Day and other gentlemen who Know what truth is, what opin- jons are correct, and then suppress those that are incorrect. What com- fort to. end arguments by bringing forth the official document certifying to one's intellectual torrectness! Poli- tical parttés will disappear, since only one lot of opinions can't be correct. N | Labor unions will be unnecessary, . since the correct industrial policy will | be found and followed. The poor will | no longer envy the rich, smnce it will, | no doubt, be found that great weaith | and great want are botn proper ana correct., New Deer Law, (Norwich Bulletin.) In view of the fact that the new deer law goes into effect In this state ! the first of August, it is perhaps weil that those who are affected thereby should know the provisions of the aot which are published elsewhere. he new law removes the protection from the deer throughout the year, but it does not permit each and every ons to go into the country and hunt them. The killing of the deer is restricted to the owner or lessee of land, the members of his family or employce who have been given permission by the owner, and tifen they can be shot only on the land of the owner or the lessee. It also makes it obligatory that a report of every killing must be made to the fish and game &ommis- sioners within 24 hours, The new law. has been drawn for the purpose of giving the farmer the | opportunity to protect himself against the large amount of damage which is done annually by the deer. The deer were so guarded that there are large numbers of them in the state and they raise navoc in gardens and orchards. Heretofore the farmer could not shoot thewn unless they were ac- tually caught in their depredations. | The necessity of reducing the number rather than requiring the property owners to support the state's protect- | ed game became apparent and such | right is given to the property owners on whose land they may be found. Tt | howeéver does not permit indiserimi- nate hunting. Hencforth instead of being able to make claims for dain- ages done by the deer the property owners have ihe right to shoot and Possess them but it is a gobd idea te fully understand the law. Can Submarines ‘Obey the Law? (South Norwalk News.) There have been many instanees in | the last three or four weeks of sub- marines treating enemy merchantmen | according to law, giving them fair warning before attacking them. And have the submarine crews suffered thereby as the German government has protested they would? “There is no recorded instance,” saye the New York World, “in’ which ury German submarine nas suffered damage or loss of life by such con- formity to law.” The peril to the sub- marine has been greatly exaggerated. It may fail sometimes in its object, { Philadelphia: when it acts comformably to law, as war vessels have always been llable to, but it has no such excuse as has heen given for sinking pelc!flfl’hlvl without warning. “BEven if the reverse were the gage." 1emarks the World, “the legal situa- tion would remain unchanged. Long Lefore submarines were thought ot merchant ships occasionally resisted visit and search. Sometimes « they escaped. Sometimes they fought back and inflicted serious damage on their pursuers. That was the fortune of w and nobody dreamed that neu~ trals must abandon their lawful rights because a belligerent ship of war had suffered in a conflict with a merchant ship.” Must Have Proof, (Boston Post.) We must have more proof of tk story from San Francisco to the effe that while Colonel Roosevelt was tak- ing in the sights of the exposition an enthusiast stepped up and asked him who his choice was for President next sear, and that the colonel clapped his companion, Governor Johnson, on the back and shouted: “Here is the man; Johnson is the next president.” It doesn’t sound like ithe colonel to be muking his nominaticns so early In the game. Nor does il seem reasom- able that he would thus settle all quess tions as to cups.of coffee for himgelf a full year before the next politicul mealtime. We guess that the chief Moose will deny the whole thing, Bellicose Philadelphia. (Nebraska State Journal.) Philadelphia, ‘to judge from it { newspapers, js the most militarist of American cities. It is the center of big navy and strong army demands, So much for the “Quaker city,” the ety of brotherly love. Philadeiphia's situation op the seacoast helps nc, | count for this, though equally exposed Boston and New York are by no meang #o strong for a big fighting force ag It may be the spirit of iron and steel to which Philadelphia owes much ‘of its grediness, which has unmapped Willlam Penn Well Satisfied With Wilson, (Naugatuck News.) Colonel Roosevelt can assail the mollycoddles to his heart's content and tell what in his opinion this na- tion should do. His remarks are al« ways interesting. But up to the press «nt time we have heard of no ong demanding that President Wilson pe. tire and that Mr. Rotsevelt be pe. turned ‘to ‘the 1 House. everyone thankful that it is Mr. not Mr. Rogse- velt who is at this time, In fact
