The proposal that the lighthouse tower on the new Seamen's Institute Io this city shall be made a memorial of the persons lost ?>n the Titanic has much i" commend It and i- likely to be fonoraUy regarded with favor, it is im-t earoestly t?. lie hoped, however, that there will be corta in fit her me? morial* "f thai disnst'-r and its victims of a permanent sod peculiarly practical and Impressive kind. it si-ems certain that if there had been ? mAelent supply <.f lifeboats <m the Titani?- all lives might have I.n saved. Now. as a result ?if that tragic Object lesson, we are told that all pas Benger ships are to be equipped with ?nougb boats t.. carry all ?m board. That will be a Biting anil practical me? morial. it has been testified that the lookout man <.n the Titanic was not provided With telescopic glasses of any kind, anil the expert opinion has i?"-n expressed that if he bad been thus equipped he might have discovered the iceberg long before he was able to do s<? wllh un? aided vision, it is prahsble that every such watchman will beresfter be pro? vMed with a cood hinoctilar class, and that al>o will be I nseful memorial. Tt was an awful thine l?> sacrilice so many human lives to n?gligence and overconfldence. it would, if possible, be ?.till more discreditable I" let the appalling lesson pas. without leaning anything from it. and without such m? morials of it as will best safeguard ns against its repetition. rriiMsi 1SFLVESCE 0\ J?P?V. One of the most interesting ami sig niftcant cffe<ts of the Chinese r?volu th.n is to he perceived in its influence ou liot'i the government and the people of Japan, which is probably the greatest whlcb has ?>\Mr been exerted <>n fhe 1st tOr country, apart from that which was felt at the time of the "opening" and Hi.- establishment <>f the constitutional System. This is the more worthy of re? mark bocanas of the traditional repue nance of Japan t" anything savoring of revolution The exalted spirit of loy? alty which characterises Japan, ?md which is to be credited very largely with the political and military strength ot that empire, regards or baa hitherto regarded all revolutions si the work ?>f the devil. Now, howeviT. a different view is beginning to prevail, sin?-?' the aoccess ?if th.- Chinese revo? lution 1h?'

This has set the- Japan ese Roverniut-nt to tbfukiuj, Itriottsl] nlw.iif the foundations of loyalty, ami the conclusion appears i" have bean reached that the old spirit of "Bu-hido" eai.t much longer I?? depended upon, | sine?, it i* h survival of ail sge, a ?'tVili- I /.aiion and a national spirit whi.b have Irrevocably passed away. Tuning, not unreasonably, to the United Kingdom and the United Slales for examples and I Instruction. Jspanese statesmen have ; largely become convinced thst Anglo Saxon ideas ?if religion, and of morals based thereon, are chiefly potent In re suiting the approaches of anarchism, socialism and other revolutionary ?tilts. Move?! by this conviction, the Japan? ese government recently called together a national conference on religion, con? sisting of representatives of, the three great faiths cf Japan, namely. Buddh? ism, Shlntolsm and Christianity, the object being to encourage the develop ment of -piritual'.ty throughout the na? tion as the basis of morals and of loy? alty. The Buddhists strenuously oh Jected io this conference, as calculated t.. give Christianity recognition on en I equality with the national relieion j of .Tapan. Thereupon the government1 frankly and courageously declared thai | that was precisely what it Intended to do, end that it certainly would no i?>ng er discriminate in any way against a religion which inculcated morality arid patriotism amone Its adherents, as does Christianity. In this attitude it was mudi strengthened by the fact that the few anarchists and socialists who have recently arisen In Japan have exhibited, n- do their fellows elsewhere, extreme1 hostility to ?"hristlanity. The logical argument i? that the religion which dis lovai men hale and oppose Is presuma? bly a pood thing for ?he promotion of loyally. The net result of the confer- ? once has been to ahnte very large!; the old antagonisms amone the three religions and to cause ;i decided access ?if spirituality In the govenmeo! ami among the people, if this propaganda of spirituality should, a? seem? proba? ble, make it?elf felt in China, we should see an intoresftne cycle Of influence ll is a remarkable pro.es?, and It may do more than most other influence? t..

The representatives of the public did not wait to be asked to mediate in the railroad strike. Thus th-ay have at t. a new proc?dent ami widened Ihe acop and usefulness of mediation. There Is no reason whj the public should wait to be asked to m<,11ate in a -trike. as if tt were simply m private matter betweei employer and employed, especially In a strike amon?: the workmen of n public service corporation The public is a pjjrtv to every strike It suffers the created looses ami Inconvenience, and If wages are Increased it pays the increase, and often more than the increase Especially la it true that the publl?- 1? ! a party to a railroad Strike The public must not only bear any additional bur ? den due to In-Teased WSgCS, but mUSt consent in ndvsr.ee to bear the burden? Instead Of, as In other industries, havlne the burden automatically shifted to it "Or the consent of the Imerstate Tom "tnerce Commission to higher fn "rates, or we ennnot paj highor wages." the railroad?. In effect, haie told their emploies, or so, at an> rate, tlm engi? neers understand it. Accordingly this threatened strike is directed at ieiist us much aeainst the Interstate Commerce Pommission a? aenin^t the railroad? themselves. When a strike is p'alnly aimed nt the public itself there i? no reason why the public should wait to be nsked to me? diale in it. Arid it is perhaps the reali? zation ?>f the change in the public's posi? tion in a strike brought about by govere? menl regulation of rates that caused public mediation to l>e so promptly wel? come?! by both sides in this instance UMITBB COLD FTORAOr It steins evident that the new cold storage law in this state, which is just going into effect, will confer on the pub? lic some <.f the practical benellts which its advocates promised and which Ihe storage warehouse interests derided at| the time of Its passaee. A bulletin Issued : b> tin- Wate Department of Health re? counts some of these. The law prohibits the storage of foodstuffs for a period j longer than ten months. The first ten months period ended April 1... The Health j Department announces that great quanti ties of butter, poultry ami rlsli bave be?Mi forced on th?> markei. Incidentally, much of this had been In storage for about two years, and was promptly seized by local health Officers a- untlt f./r human consumption. It this stuff liad been fed "Ht tO Ihe markets gradually, it is likely thai in small quantities it might have escaped the vigilance of the Inspectors, no matter how old or unlit, for food it was. with ? the warehouses emptied each ten months the publie win be pretty thoroughly guarded from the effects of the greed of dealers in holding foodstuffs for high market prices, regardless ?>f deteriora? tion in the quality of the goods from overiong sbu-nee. What effect this new law i? having on food price? in [earns ?leal". BOUM dealers think that it will Cause a ?light reduction as business conditional adjust themselves to it.
