Over the Nation
Round and 'Round They Go
The Jlullnomah Indians lire groat in politics. We say
"Jndiuns", because jMiiltiiomah i county citizens seem to
don their warpaint Uien a ixiliticnl campaign is on.
A few years ago John L.Day was elected chairman of
the Kcpuhlictui county central committee with little effort.
Jle was presumably the political boss of that county. Then
came a time when the Day stock dropped away below
par anil even his followers figured he was a dead one
politically. Hut the wheel turned t around once more and
when the county central committee met a few days ago
John I,, Day was again elected chairman of the committee.
Co lo it, Multnomah, you like your fun, and the rest
of the slate looks nn in an interested way.
Speed No Longer Desired'
. Perhaps you haven't thought of it, but will readily
lecognizo the fact that railroads no longer are seokinji
to break speed records, said an O.-VV. railroad engineer re
cently, and then he continued. It was in 15)03 that the
leeord of 112.5 miles an hour spued was established and
jit ha) never been eiiunlled. It has never been approached
jeveh, and now no effort is being made to that end.
No lonier do the fastest trains between New -York
'And Chimin tn.vor.se the distance in IS hours; they tnltt.1
20 for the job, hocauHO it has been found that the longer
tune is fast enough and is far safer. The average speed
of trains has been increased,' but it has beet, found to bo
in the interest of successful operation of railroads to pre--serve
near an even rate for all rather than have some ex
cessively fast trains, because guarding the safety of such
ljtnkes other trains nlower than they otherwise need be.
: J Locomotives are larger and stronger than when rec
orlls were made and probably could go as fast as anything
m the past, but in the interest of safety they aro not let
out. The design now in to know not how fast they can
go, but how fast will safety permit them to go. The tak
ing of chances on speed are loft to other forms of locomo
tion. Thus 100 years of experience in railroading has
taught thut it does not pay to go, too fast, that there is
n mean speed which makes for economy of operation as
well As safety. ' ,
However, .the railway locomotive has ceased to bo a
synonym for speed. The airplane has robbed it of the dis
tinction. The record of 193 miles an hour for a plane is
so far ahead of anything possible on the earth that there
are no contestants with the aircraft for the honor of being
the speediest vehicle built by man. It may be possible
to exceed that record in air travel, though it would seem
to be rapid enough to meet the demands of the most ardent
speed fiend. Yet it may pmve true that there is a limit
in air travel leyond which it is not safe to go and that a
mean speed Is fast enough.
Moderation in any form of travel is wisest, and it is
to be hofed that the examples of the railroads in being
satisfied not to attack records already established will be
imitated by others, whatever the manner of their vehicle,
whose present ambition is to punch holes in the air at a
taster rate than has hitherto been done.
