Peonage for Panama. The author of the proposition to dig the Panama canal with shiftless southern negroes rounded up and sentenced tn court for vagrancy stands to his guns. In another column of today's Star appears a communication from him, replying to the criticism of this newspaper and Insisting upon tiie workable character of his Idea. The 8iar, however, remajns unconvinced. It confesses. Indeed, respectfully to some surprise that a southern editor, interested In the south's welfare, and floon to participate in an important conference on the subject of Immigration for that section, should have nothing better to offer. For. examined in any light, in every light, Mr. Thompson's suggestion Is preposterous. In the first place, there are no laws to lit the case. Should vagrancy laws bo enacted against the negroes exclusively? Are there 110 Idle, lawless white men in the south? Who compose the mobs which make a mockery of all laws in that section? Such, whites are there, but they are secure from attack. The politicians, who have closed the polls to all negroes, but have left them open to oven the most corrupt and ignorant of the whites, would never permit the enartment of vagrancy laws having for their object egual tratment of whites and blacks ajid ridding communities of undesirable people regardless of color. In the second place, should the negro vagrant thus condemned and sent away be permitted to take his family with him? Or should his sentence act as a divorce, and he too free to take a new wife In Panama, and the woman left behind a new husband here? That would smack of the good old slavery days, when families were broken lip by the auctioneer and the negro trader. In the third place, what of the future? Let us consider matters when the canal Is completed. We shall control the canal *one and be responsible for conditions there. Mr. Thompson thinks that regiments of negro vagrants would under task-masters lu the tropics become worthy citizens. But does experience Justify the prediction? Anl what of a territory Infested by thousands of Ignorant people who had been deported from | home because of shlftleasness. and now. their task done, free to do as they please? It would become a section of hell on earth. Mr. Thompson fancies that the President heard him somewhat approvingly. He is probably mistaken. The Star does not know the President's views either as to labor for Panama or the settlement of the race question in the south. It would riot thfnk of Bpeaking for him on any question. But that Mr. Roosevelt, with his record as a man and a partisan, and his responsibility as chief magistrate of all the people, shouXl take up with such a notion as this is wholly out of reason. Tliat ho sympathises with the south in her difficulties Is certain. Every right-thinking man does. But representative southern men will not increase that sympathy by presenting as solutions of those difficulties?as many are doingpropositions either Inhuman, impractical, absurd, or fantastic. Trains on Drawbridges. All the known circumstances of the Atlantic City railroad horror seem to point to one prime cause of disaster, ' the lack or disobedience of a rule requiring all trains to come to a full stop before crossing a drawbridge. The suggestion has been advanced that the rails of the draw and those of the stationary trestle did not match when the draw was closed. This may have been due to "unavoidable" circumstances. Jt is unsafe to rely upon the perfect "Working of draws. This fact has been attested by many disasters, and it Is time that It was recognized In the laws by positive requirements in all states that trains be brought to a full halt before crossing draws. Some years ago a loaded passenger ex yress irain plunged at full speed Into the Cos Cob river, Connecticut, through an open draw, the danger lights having been ol>?< ured or blown out. The wreck was one of the worst in the history of American railroading. Immediately laws were passed in Connecticut and New York compelling aH trains to be brought to a stop at draws. Other states followed the example, but evidently 110 such statute is now in force in New Jersey, or if on the books it is disregarded. It is to be hoped that the lesson taught by the Atlantic City horror will be promptly learned by not only New Jersey but every other state that has today no legal safeguard against such accidents. He.iance upon signals and mechanical appliances for the prevention of derailment I9 too hazard- I ous a practice to be tolerated. The only safe rule is based upon the proposition that ! a train that has been halted before crossing the draw cannot be w recked if anything is wrong with the bridge or track.

Japan can understand that, in spite of the attention it has been attracting. San Francisco is not the entire United States. Murphy in Stripes. The sensitive soul of Charles Murphy shrinks under the rapid tire of newspaper cartoons depicting him as a convict in stripes. He has Ins*ructe<i his lawyer to warn all the New York newspapers and advertising concerns that have been engaged in thus presenting him to the public to cease their llb?-lous enterprise or go to JaH. Charles Murphy's soul was not always so sensitive. It was certainly not last year. It stood without flinching ttie brunt of a venomous attack by the Hearst newspapers, which presented him almost hourly to the ,^>u-t)fic as headed for the penitentiary, garbed in striped clothes, wearing manacles and tagged with a great variety of Inscriptions suggestive of law-breaking. No warning was then sent to Hearst. No word at complain* was heard from Murphy. He bore the burden of the assault complacently. as part of the day'e ?rork at a practical politician. Stnce last October things have happened to bring these two men Into different relatione. It Is not known whether they peak as they pass. Their bearing'. If brought together, would probably be marked by constraint. But they are nevertheless pal? and allies. Through their lieutenant* they struck a bargain at Buffalo. and have been working In tne same political harness since then, with torn# trouble* from time to time that have been apparently compromised. Hearst has ceased to picture Murphy In his papers a? the wearer of stripes. The name of Murphy is carefully guarded from all flings In the Hearst m-wspapers. Murphy Is not telling the public what lie thinks of Hearst. They may have their Knives ready for quick thrusts at each other, hut they are keeping their faces straight in public. I^ast year Murphy mode no outcry against the Hearst cartoons of himself In stripes. Thfci year he is threatening with prosecution all who reproduce them or imitate mem. aiadu tus iu liiis uiuereocfl a. reproserrtative of Murphy explains that last year it was a case of one man again?t another, and the Hearst attacks were merely part of the political game, and had to foe endured. This year It is a ease of "the whole bunch" against Murphy, and he will not stand for the persecution. Mr. Murphy, H honest In this explanation through a friend, entirely misses the point of the "stripes" cartoons. They are not Intended to persuade the voters of New York that Murphy is a crook, oeservlng of the penitentiary. They are meant to expose the sham of the Hearst campaign, to reveal the shameless manner In which he bargains with a political force that he has heretofore denounced as corrupt, and1 uses It to boost himself into office. It is Mr. Hearst that the cartoon-printing newspapers of New York are attacking this year, not Murphy. The Murphy warning of threat of prosecution will profoably go further than the cartoon*! themselves to draw attention to the unholy alliance which Hearst has formed this year for the sake of the votes of Tammany. Bryan and Hearst. Mr. Bryan is supporting Mr. Hearst for governor of New York, but when asked about Hearst and 1908 he answers: "Walt. One thing at a time." There are democrats In New York who could advise Mr. Bryan to his benefit in this matter. An exDerlence entitles them to speak and be heard. They adopted the leisurely gait with Mr. Hearst, and, poor things, where are they now? Last spring and In the early summer the anti-Hearst democrats were well persuaded they had Mr. Hearst about where they wanted him. He had bolted McClellan last year, and was now organizing a new party, and those two facts, they insisted, deprived him of all consideration as a democrat. lie was no longer a democrat, and at most could but defeat the party In this year's contest by running as an Independent candidate for governor. They expected him to make the race, and did not doubt that by doing so he would put an end to himself politically. Rendered comfortable and confident by this feeling, Mr. McClellan, one of the men to whom the anti-Hearst people looked for icautuKi b^ciii uia vactiuuu in Ciiirope, sironlng through art galleries, and sampling good roads with his bicycle. It would be time enough to take up politics and get things in shape for the democratic state convention when the heat of summer had passed. He was gone six weeks, and on the eve of sailing for home sounded by cable what he Intended as a keynote by declaring for Jerome for governor. And he took ship with the idea probably that he would land at home to And the Jerome boom for the nomination Invincible. Alas for the calculation! All this time Mr. Hearst had been busy as a bee. with his eye not only on an Independent nomination for governor, but on capturing the democratic party as well. An army of his runners was covering the state, from the Battery to Buffaloi. stirring up the | voters and getting them In line f&r the great Hearst day In the morning. ''And ttife work was so thoroughly done that "When Mr. McClellan and- Mr. Jerome reached Buffalo they found themselves two poor boys at a frolic, with Mr. Hearst Incomplete control of the festivities. Mr. Bryan may think that 1008, baing two years away, need not now be considered. But, good, easy man, he should consult Mr. McClellan, who knows the danger of putting things oft where Mr. Hearst Is concerned. Sufficient unto no one day Is the Hearst thereof. Every day is a Hearst day so far as the Hearst calculations and activities go; and in the Hearst camp not only a first but a second term In the White Urtitoa ? iiuuac uiaj uc luuuu inspiring Hie IlOpCS OI his followers for him. Two Useful Citizens. The greetings which have been extended by the citizens of Washington to Mr. A. S. Solomons and Mr. Simon Wolf upon the anniversaries of their birth are happy marks of personal esteem which have more than usual significance. Mr. Solomons attains his eightieth year and Mr. Wolf his seventieth year assured of the good will and appreciation of the community with which they have both been closely identified for decades, and for the best Interests of which they have always labored zealously. Their birthday anniversaries, falling so closely together, afford pleasant opportunities for expressing the sentiments for them which have long found lodgment In the hearts of their fellow-citizens. The comprehensive versatility of Mr. Taft's genius becomes apparent when it Is found that with all this globe-trotting, lidrepressing and peace-making he has managed to keep an eye on the tariff. Nothing like It has happened since Julius Caesar managed several campaigns at once, and incidentally kept a number of amanuenses busy In his literary service. Winston Churchill Is being reminded that It Is not entirely safe to mix politics and fiction, except In the usual campaign documents. George Hernard Shaw's one regret seems to be that he could not have written all the world's literature so as to have it done right. Mr. Carnegie is again to be congratulated on putting his possessions In such shape that they cannot be trailed In the tainted money hunt. Incidentally Mr. Hearst hopes to land a few long shots for his admirers who have the courage to take up the bets that are being offered against him. Better Feeling In Japan. The prompt expressions of President nwecvtNi lu uiu japaiieao amuussduur, indicative of a sincere regret at the causes of ant I-American feeling In Japan, and hi? subsequent action looking to their removal, If possible, have evidently served their good purpose In allaying the apprehensions of the'Japanese and checking the wave of resentment which was apparently rising in the island empire. Late dispatches from Toklo indicate that the situation In this country is better understood now in Japan. Thus the agitation has had its good effect In revealing the limited area and the peculiar character of the so-called discrimination against Japanese residents in the United States. Tn tn/iflo'a frr?n Tj\Wa < *? >. am vx?wj v j >.4 viu ?va?v 10 mi expression of assurance that there Is no danger of a boycott against American manufactures, any apprehension of such a move being characterized as absurd. "The United States," runs the cablegram, "Is the best customer of the Japanese, and It Is well known that to provoke the Americans would be suicide." It Is to be hoped that the difficulty will be arranged amicably without reference to the trade internets or to the possibility of commercial reprisals by ejtNtr nation. The issue should t>e met In a spirit of Justice and fair play and. not on the ground at mere selfish Insurance against monetary losses. Another sentence In this dispatch calls for elucidation: "It is feared that emissaries of a certain power are active in starting a movement again3t the. Japanese by exaggerating the situation felt here against the San Franclsoo school authorities." What "certain power" la meant? The President and Mr. Haghes. Of course the President Is for Mr. Hiighe*. The nomination owed much to his in flu ence, and naturally he wants to see his work approved at the polls. It is not as If the President should send a message to this, State or that. New York is the state of Ms birth and residence, and his right to speak in matters there is as good as that of any other citizen. And Mr. Root enters the campaign by the same token. He too is a citizen of New York, and properly is interested in the local tickets of his party. The point, therefore, that the national administration is interfering and that Mr. Hughes is the administration's candidate Is not well taken. No parallel runs between the Folger campaign and this one. They are unlike in several particulars, and especially as respects the maimer Jn which the two nominations were made. No flaw whatever ap pears in Mr. Hughes' credentials. In a little more than a week the New Yorker who doesn't care a pin how the election goes so long as he can get out in the street and make a noise will take his innings. Pennsylvania must be a little disappointed in finding Harrisburg developing this public building scandal after all that Philadelphia has suffered in order to stand forth as a warning and a horrible example. Mr. Bryan is reported to be in favor of Hearst. But political devotion is one of those Impalpable things whose weight and measure cannot be ascertained. It does seem rather cool for even the government of the United States to Invite the Standard Oil Company to quit business Just when profits are most plentiful. And even yet the policy holders do not quite see what they are going to do about those insurance revelations. The Cuban revolution has dwindled to an occasional case of disorderly conduct. SHOOTING STARS. i A Type. "He's a popular man," said the observer of politics, "but he never seems to be lucky." "No," answered Senator Sorghum, "he Is one of the people who always have our admiration before election and our sympathies after." "Some men," said Uncle Kben, "complains of overwork foh de reason dat any work at all la mo' dan dey kin take keer of." A Weather Assurance. The prophet hums a merry tune. His mood keeps growing bolder. He knows he'll hit It very soon If he keeps saying coMer. An Essential Feature. "You always want the best of a bargain!" "Of course I do," answered Farmer Corntossel. "If I don't get the best of It, I don't figure on Its beln" a reg'lar bargain." An Objection. "Do-you approve of spelling reform?" "Yes," answered thn adaptable citizen. "The only objection is that It consumes more time remembering to spell the new way than it does to put in the-'extra letters." Bluffing. If mebbe in yer system there's a little sporttn' streak You'll understand the joy of which I'm tryin' fur to speak; When your kind o' losin' courage an' yer Hick is runnln' hard. An' ye hold a bob-tail flush an' raise and draw a single card. An' It ain't the card ye wanted, but you don't give in?not yet. But jes' keep on a-ralsln' till the rest are ekeered to bet. You feel a thrill of pleasure sech as comes to very few. Life's a golden dream of glory when yer goes through! We're all a-bluffln' more or Jess fur big or little stakes. We keep a face that's smllin' an' conceal the heart that aches. As we risk our time an' money In the hope of ease or tame, You uasn't show you've weakened when you start to play the game. But now an' then you miss It; it may be a railroad deal. Or some little hope you cherished that goes wrong. An' then you feel As sick an' sore as if you'd jes' been taken out an' mauled. I teli ye, boys, it's awful when your bluff gits called! Patriotic, Perhaps, but Futile. From the New York Herald. "A Patriotic American" through the column of letters from Herald readerB this morning argues that it should not be necessary to write "D. C." after the name of our capital, Washington. He points out that no one finds It necessary to describe the location of London or Paris by affixing the county or department, and after narrating an experience with cable operators abroad concludes that It would be more simple and dignified to be able to wire from any part of the world to "Washington, America." Our correspondent falls to explain how he would induce surrender of the name by the big state of Washington, the half dozen cities of Washington and the various towns, counties and townships, -numbering more than two hundred in all parts of the Union, proudly named for the Father of His Country. One "London" and one "Paris" wlM do well enough for little places like England and France, but when it comes to Washington in this mighty continent of ours? no, we guess "D. C." will have to stay. The Apartment House Lesson. From the Pittabarg Dispatch. The loss of life and Injury in the burning of the chamber of commerce building of Kansas City, Kan., which was used as an apartment nouse, carry a strong lesson with regard to that class of structures that ought not to be ignored. Aparment houses by thedr character concentrate a larger number of people within a single structure than the equivalent in dwellings. This building Is stated to have contained a hundred rooms. Its construction was brick and stone, and of better character than the ordinary apartment building. Tet it burned with a suddenness that cut off the stairway and destroyed nearly a score of lives. The laws rightly require such structures to have rear fire escapes as well as front stairways. Certainly, if they are not to be made fireproof, as many of them notoriously are not, this provision for safety should be strictly observed. Competition. From the Richmond Journal.
