V QUESTION Or DESTINATION.
In his letter of acceptance President
3fooseve.lt has made clear his Intentions
nnd those nf his party, and there Is no
Sxeuso for any one's not knowninc tho.
course which tho Republican party has
In tile raeos for tho Vanderbilt oup
Saturday one automobilist was in
stantly killed and another man a
millionaire is dying from injuries re
ceived. Both victim of too fast and
too reekIos driving, or "speed mad
ness," as It isjiflw called, says tho
Seattle Star.
This "speed madnew" is a new
form of 'ilemenJtM whlrh motlteal wi-
ontlsts litive differentiated, cJassifietl
awt applied to people who drive auto
mobiles recklessly through crowded
streets and highways.
It is a form of domentia' with which
the public has bome unpleasantly
familiar and it is good to have it
named. Hut something more than tho
tfiere name ought to be contributed by
the scientists.
"Seientc," once said a sarcastic
wit, "consists in giving a known fact
a name and pigeon-holing it." If it
is not to deserve this definition, sci
ence must do more with this well rec
ognized form of demontin than morely
name it.
There is something more in this do
meutia than a madness for speed. It
affects not only the motorist's reason,
but his moral sense. The daily stories
of niltomobilists running over and
killing or Injuring people nnd then
hastening nwny without stopping to
inqtiiro its to tho condition of their
victims nre not to be accounted for
in nny mere infirmity of reason.
This blunting of the ordinary feel
ings of Immunity must in somo way
or other bo connected with tho prac
tice of motoring, since the peoplo who
own motor curs nro ordinarily persons
of some social pretensions nnd ac
quainted with the obligations which
civilization imposed upon human beings.
Out of their automobiles they are
snne and have regard for tho lives
and limbs of others.
That, they should sneak nway after
hurting or killing some one indicates
unmistakably that driving tin nutomo
bllo has a tondency to demoralize In
n lnrge proportion of enses. And the
proportion is entirely too largo for
public safety or comfort.

UPHOLD SUDAY .CLOSING.
Fair mindotl men will approve of the
decision of tKe Salem saloOn men to
keop cloned on Sunday, pending the de
eision of the Courts.
There are those unreasonable enough
to be unwilling to give these SHloon
men credit for nny good actions what
ever. But why not tnke,thc saloon men nt
their word, and give them credit for
bolng law-abiding citizens in this in
stance.
Tho .Statesman says this dgrcement is
to last only four weeks. But this is a
mistake. There is no time fixed, except
that the courts are to decide first.
It is to be regretted that the first
step In the right direction toward an
nmicublo holutiim of the Sunday en
forcement effort should be misconstrued
nnd belittled.
But there will always be those who
give the saloon men no credit for nny.

BLOODOUILTINESS.
It is hard to conceive of nnything
morn inhuman, outrageous and crim
inal than tho reported prnctico of tho
Xonparoil Cork Works, at Camden,
.Vow Jersoy.
It Is said that nt those works, in
milking life preservers for ships, in
onlor to bring the cork goods up to
tho required weight, bars of iron wore
injected into them.
Indictments hnvo been returned
against the manufacturers, but, ns
nbly. ' v.
usual, tho raptyulblo pnrtlos enirnot
ho Intuited.
Arthur Beddell, u inombor of tho
Federal grand jury that returned the
indictments ngaliist the cork mtinu
fncturers, said:
"A sporlnt agent of the government
was appointed a short time ago to in
vestigate tho cork produooil by the
plant, us a result of a complaint from
a Now York firm. Ho testified to find
ing tho bars pf iron in the cork and
submitted n broken block In evidence,
it eontnlned nu iron bar four inches
long, one inch wide nnd about ono
half inch thick."
.lames Jonos, u mulatto who worked
nt tho plant, said that last mouth he
wus told that there was too much com
plaint about tho eork being short
weight nnd ho wns ordered to put nu
iron Imr into enoli piece of eork. He
said that altogether he had made 251
blocks of eork with iron In them.
The Invostigntiim into tho (louernl
tfliMMim disaster proved that tho life
preserver! had boon storod so long
without examination that the eork
hd ruttod to powder, nnd that they
rer absolutely worthless in eonso-
IHlir.

At tho flist regular business meeting
