Hit But can even as much as that be said of other disasters less awful it their casualty lists but no less emphatic as warnings? : An inventory of the gain for public safety resulting from the train | I wrecks, explosions, building crashes and oth WY ing large | loss of life in the city and its immediate vicir nt years makes 2 poor showing of profit for the people from the lives sacrificed. Of'punishment for the man to blame, where human negligence was at fault, there has been none. In the Sloctim case the dust k on pigeonholed indictments. | But in the matter of remedies and safeguards for ihe future, a benefit | {\ much more to be desired than jail sentences, how. does the account stand? | From the slaughter of twelve lives on the elevated in the Fifty-third | }\ street wreck came a recommendation from the Railroad Commission ot | { a semaphore signal at the danger point and an order for south-bound | trains to come to a full stop. The death curve remains as before—a trap waiting for another negligent employee. What will the jury which be- gins its inquest to-day have to say about it? ih Out of the Darlington collapse came an ordinance giving the Build- ing Department added powers of inspection. How have they been util- } ized? Since April of last year eleven buildings have collapsed, causing the death of four persons and the injury of ten. The committee which investigated the conditions responsible for the fall of eight buildings in Harlem in March found that they had been “erected without proper super- vision, under inefficient inspection and by incompétent contractors.” The | builder of the Qgrlington, after an eighteen months’ search, was located | | . Ee two weeks ago in Mexico, safe from the law. j fey What is the sum tatal of additional safety secured to passengers by | | ej the Midvale wreck on the Erie, the Westfield wreck on the Central of New | f e8 Jersey, the Park avenue gynnel crash and its recent echo? | k : How much have the numerous deaths of engineers in locomotiye | cabs, the latest occurring on the Erie on Sept. 14, and in the aggregate numbering nearly a score—what have these warnings dane toward secur- to lessen the risks ftom this cause to the 156,000 persons who use them many confidence on that score. The streets are safer because of the Police traffic mobiles and other vehicles during the first four months of this year. But to consider the annual death toll from accident and disaster an dy} aise to find that gain deplorably small. IN THE GOOD OLD Days, __j know.

Dear Mise Gr ytth led the truth-te nwt a ° monial to It seems sent y woman could endure the truth from her husband for seven years, But, now that she is thoroughly broken {ato it, it would be a pity to revert to ihe smoother sailing of success- ful mendacity. Nearly every woman, wife or widow, would rather be told agreeable lies than disagreeable truths. In the first place, professional truth-tellers rarely tell the truth. ‘They purvey a poisoned pabulum of dise torted facts by which the minds they are supposed to benefit are sickened, There are a great many of these pe * that they have conferred an inestimable benefit on ya ny tell you you have a crooked nose, not tal to a cunt that the crookedness of your.

A man or woman withe out it has no more excuse for living than a prickly cactus or a porcupine. The value of truth as an offensive weapon in social warfare cannot be overestimated.
