TRACING JUST In the report of the board of inquiry that investi-
P.ESPONSIBILITY gated the disaster at Goodin station outside of Os
wego a few days ago in which Mrs. John Kelley was killed and several others
were injured, appears the statement that the board could find no individual
responsibility for the accident.
Of course, no one foresaw that the car of slab wood would slip at that
particular point and fall into a crowd of picnicers as it did not did any one
suspect that the loosening of the load would entail the result that it did.' But,
it seems, had that load been as properly bound when it was placed on the
freight car for transportation as it should have been to meet all of the ex
igencies of travel, there would have been no disaster and there would have
been no deaths and injuries to tell the story of neglect and carelessness on
the part of some one.
While it would probably be difficult to trace the exact responsibility that
each of the members of that loading crew might have had in preparing the
car of slab wood for shipment, some one was to blame for the accident that
cost a life and that resulted in serious injuries to others. Who that person
might have been, is, of course, a difficult question to answer. The board
of inquiry evidently could not answer it. Certainly, the crew that placed
that load on the car is known and its membership is a matter of record on the
company's pay rolls. But to what extent each of the members of that crew
may have been guilty of neglect or carelessness in preparing the load for
be blamed for not undertaking the task of ferreting out the responsibility for
the death of the woman and the sufferings that were. brought to others of
that picnic party.
The wreck and the investigations of the board, however, carry with
them a lesson in railroading in this country. Too many wrecks of the great
transportation lines have been passed over by a report from the board that it
has failed to find any individual responsibility. Too many times have the in
quirers given up the task when they have discovered that the membership
of a crew was at fault and that, perhaps, the whole crew was to blame for
the accident as much as were any of its

From dispatches that have come from Washington, the democratic fav

the examination with a percentages of 70 or over, even though his Republican
competitor may have made a much better average and have shown signs of
much more intelligence and ability.
Though this is not exactly a violation of the civil service laws, it
stretches the spirit of those laws somewhat and gets around the point that

of the democratic powers that be to

the legislators in the national assembly had in mind when that measure was
enacted.
To remove the fourth class offices from politics and to place them under
stringent provisions of the rules of the service was a wise move on the part
of President Taft, although it was neither a diplomatic' nor a politic move.
It showed that the president had in mind only the betterment of those offices
and that he had no intention to reward with appointments and political
favors any of his friends who happened to have other friends eager for of
ficial honors.
For a man who always represents that he wants his officials from the
highest class of competent workers and able, at any and all times to pass any
sort of competitive tests that may be required of them, to support such a
move on the part of Postmaster General Burleson is disappointing to those
who, even though Republicans, admire some of the many fine qualities and
foresight of the democratic president.
Wilson has never been a man who cringed in the face of what he
believed .was best, either for his state or for the country at large. He has
bowed neither to the hand of great interests nor to the demands of his party.
He has, at all times, been of that type of free thinking independence that
Americans, in general, admire. It was his personality as much as from any
belief in the principles of his party that gave him the election at the polls
of the country last November and that placed him on the executive seat of
the natioiTIn March.
