MEMORIAL FOR THE
TITANIC VICTIMS
ANNOUNCEMENT comes to us
from tbo capital city that an
effort will bo mnuo to get jon
ptorq tn nnnronrlato a sum. annroxl
mating $200,000, to bo added to n
similar sum of monoy ralsod nt largo
throughout tho nation, In order that
a hiomorial Bbnit may do orectou in
mombry of tho horolc conduct of MnJ.
Archibald Dutt. who wont down with
tho lllfatcd ship.
Whllo" wo! are as yet uncortnln as
to whether this ston will bo conBum-
matod as nlanncd, yet wo cannot
forego a word as to tho unfairness
nmi iiRnlessncsa of such a momorlal.
In tho first plnco wo might ask, why
commomorato tho heroism of Mnjor
Butt moro than countless others wno
wnnt down with tho Ill-starred flhlp,
with that bravery and Intrepidity that
mark tho true soldier. If reports bo
true, there woro many w'ho might bo
worthy of n similar momorlal, and
why Rlnglo out ono becauso ho hap
poned to belong to tho army nnd was
a closo friend of tho Prosldont? Wo
would Hko to soo nil thoso bravo
men, nnd women too, who faced
doath bo unflinchingly, bo given n
silltablo momorlal so that futuro gen
erations may know that tho tradi
tions of tho sea woro kept In n spirit,
ns well as In lottor.
Then, ob to tho nature of tho mo
morlal. It scorns ridiculous and ut
terly usoless, from a practical point
of vlow, to cxpond such n sum of
monoy on a shaft, whon tho samo
monoy could bo put Into a .memorial
that would boneflt humanity. That
Is what wo aro nil hero for, to holp
others, nnd to erect a plcco of mar
blo, whon a hospital or Bomo othor
chnrltablo institution might stand In
Its' nlnco. oxtondlng tho blessed holp
of healing nnd comfort to hundreds
who need, seems tho height ot rony,
nn unworthy nloco of oxtravnganco.
Wo alroady havo too mnny of thoso
useless memorials In n world that is
crying on nil sides for holp ot ono
kind or another. Lot ua erect
momorlnla that will do some real
nracttcnl good. If thoso who aro
thus commemorated could return nnd
toll us what they think about It, they
would say at onco that this Is tho
kind of momorlal they would ronlly
want. Tho cnsunl obsorvor doubtless
novor stops to think, ns in muto ad
miration, ho stnnds boforo thobe
memorials of tho Ptolomlcs of Egypt,
the Pyramids, Just what monumontR
of usolessnoss thoy nro. Tho millions
thnt woro probably spent In erecting
them mluht furnish n pleasing spec
taclo for tho globo-trottor. but thoy
havo novor glvon, so far ns wo
know, ono lota of holp nnd comfort
to thoso who need.
The Unxlnkulrto Hlilp.
Silly It Ib to think thnt n great
company, spondlng millions to safe
guard In othor ways llfo intrusted to
Its enro, could skimp on llfoboats
merely for tho ponntoa (compared to
tho other dollars) to bo spared In
that mnniior at so frightful a cost.
Too utterly nbsurd Is this for snno
consideration. For think of tho ultl
ninto prlco to ho paid by thoso who
fallod to havo tho llfobonts, as tho
captain brnvo who Buffers misfor
tune must forfolt his command nnd
ns tho "hoodoo" ship muBt ho desti
tute of paBHOiiRorfl. slnco mon will
not tempt Provldonco In unlucky
hulls, so tho company thnt loses mul
titudes of souls must honcoforth sco
tl o voyaging world turn fearfuli
away from Its vessols. No, no, thnt
could novor bo tho explanation.
Whnt then? Theory tho thoory of
tho uuslnknblo ship tho Bhlp that Is
u city afloat.
Theory,
Tho Drltlsh Hoard of Trade
has hud absolute faith that
the greatest of tho modern ship..,
flushing across tho sens with mult.-
tudes of souls, could not sink, Thoy
might crash Into wrockngo from col
lision but thoy would not sink. They
might thunder upon n reef and ho
wrenched asunder, yot would tho
IrngmentR rofuso to sink. This wns
the theory; tho Drltlsh Ronrd of
Trudo muBt hnvo hold to It nbsolutc
ly, olso never could thero hnvo been
allowed oi nlneo In a llfobont for
four, or ono for threo, or one for
two.
