HE tragic fate of the great dirigible ZR-2, which cost the lives of sixteen Americans and twen iy-seven Brilish, is thought to have been due to the ignition of escaping hydrogen gas by the exhaust ot one of the motors. The precise cause may never be known, Bul the precariousness of a huge volume of highly in- flammable gas in near proximity to powerful gaso- line engines is only too apparent. Until lighter- than-air craft the size of an ocean liner can depend on some gas other than one the tiniest spark will explode the progress of this form of air navigation is bound to be marked by such disasters The pity of it is that brave men should have to be sacrificed in costly attempts by which nations less skilled in building and managing dirigibles seek to advance in the science. There has been enough such sacrifice to show the need of more emphasis on the preliminary, experimentative side. Whether the loss of the ZR-2 was caused by structural weakness or escaping gas, the lesson duld be new conceniration on the fundamental principles and problems of the motor-driven airship, Much can still be solved and perfected on earth that will reduce the risks to gallant men who {ry out ships in the air. PREJUDICING HIS OWN CASE. T would be unfair to Commissioner of Markets ] O'Malley to convict him at the bar of public inion on the unsupported evidence of men who confess they paid gratt for the tight to transfer pers mits in the Washington Market. Commissioner O'Malley is entitled to put his sid of the case before the public and before the investi- gators in the most favorable light. But there can be no excuse or econdonat the action Commissioner O'Malley took in revoking the permits of the men who testified thal they had paid money for what should have been granted with- out cost. Such tactics constitute intimidation pure and simple, They aim at the obstruction of legal and judicial processes. They cannot fail to prejudice Commissioner O’Malley’s case before the public, the investigators—and the courts. Under such circumstances District Attorney Swann is doing no more than his oath of office requires in stepping in to protect witnesses. The Meyer committee would be derelict in i's duty if it did not use every power it possesses to redress the wrongs these witnesses have suffered, Whether the market men were guilty of bribery or were the victims of extortion may be a fine legal point, but that Commissioner O'Malley is morally guilty of coercion and intimidation ¢annot be doubted. His summary action may well render him liable to criminal prosecution under the charges The case should be pressed. The Senate put aside the Anti-Beer Bill uati! after the recess, and prospects for the meas- ure then are etything but bright Running the country is not all pie—even for the Anti-Saloon League, BOUND TO COME. OONER or fater this Nation will have a Federal Child Labor Law, Judge Boyd and the South. ern cotton mill owners notwithstanding If the Supreme Court upholds the decision of Judge Boyd, it will only mean a postponement ot the reform, A way will be found to make an alinost unanimous public opinion effective. This Nation once went to war to tree the black slaves when there was no such unanimity of public sentiment. There will be no occasion for war to free the child slaves. It will be done by legislative enactment of one sort or another. But it will be done. Judge Boyd and his legalis- tic quibbles may delay but cannot defeat a law which will end child slavery.
