EDITORIAL PAGE
THE NEW YORK'S ESCAPE.
Had the Titanic disaster left
anything undone in the way of
teaching the awful danger of "go
ing it blind" at sea, the Empress of
Ireland disaster should have more
than supplied the deficiency. Vet
with the latter calamity still of re
cent date and ghastly memory, the
Hamburg-American liner Pretoria
crashed Into the American liner
New York in a fog at sea and
punched a great hole in the latter's
hull.
That no lives were lost when the
loss might have been numbered In
huudreds was a most fortunate
circumstance; and one by no means
entirely attributed to happy
chance. When the fog came on
the New York's captain ordered
the collision bulkheads closed,
speed reduced to bare headway,
signals sounded at minute inter
vals. Hours later the Pretoria's
signals were heard and the New
York's engines were stopped en
tirely. With a mutual understand
ing established by signals, the
Pretoria attempted to feel her way
slowly past the motionless Ameri
can liner. In spite of these pre
cautions and the full speed astern
ordered 011 the New York the in
stant the other ship was sighted
through the haze, the collision was
not averted. The American steam
er's steel plates were twisted and
cut and torn "like so much tin." .
Evidently the sad history of dis
aster a: sea has taught some pru
dence, but has it taught enouph ?
The huudreds lost when the Titan]
struck the iceberg failed to stive
the hundreds who went down with
the Empress of Ireland. The sink
ing of that ship iu collision with a
collier in the fog of the St. Law
rence river failed to prevent
collision two weeks later iu t fo
far out on the open sea. Man:
other fog accidents, more or less
calamitous, have occurred both .
mldocean and in inclosed waters
Investigations are slow and iton
too conclusive. International con
ferences drag and senates must
talk before ratifying safety tp itie;;
The problem is old, but can hardl;
be abandoned as insoluble. Human
ingenuity can and should find t'
solution, whether in the
worked field of improved sign •! ;■
light, sound or Hertzian wav -
in the comparatively ni-lected o;>
portuuUy for isolated steamer I
lanes. The New York's narrow
escape only shows that the wide
octtun is not broad enough to ac
commodate the world's boats in
safety while they are run as thoy
are now.—Cleveland Leader.
Delev. do Jauies Wickersham has
announced his candidacy for re
election from Alaska. I'nless sen
timent- in Alaska has changed groat
ly in the very recent past, the fact
that W'ickersliam will run again is
practically paramount to election.
Alaskans have confidence hi him
and he has never betrayed that
confidence —Whltehorse Star.
