NOT MEN THE DRAGON'S TOLL The terrible dimmer which came to ilu> Titanic has ovcishadovvd everything in the news line dining 'lie past week, nnd lias proved even more terrible than wag upposed in our last date of publication. The mass of diamutic incident in this tragedy if collated would form a large Volume, but a few things -t md out viv- idly before us. As hi all such case*, there was the hero and the coward press- Ing shoulders, ai.d it WHS not in all casea that the coward preserved his life. Itut the great fact tin' standr out inott pin- niuiently is that over lixtevn hundred liveH were almost instantly sacriBced l>y the carelesneM i.f one man. This man, it would appear, hatl an overabundance of confidence in I lie M length of bis vc- *el and it* powar to withstand any im- pact that might occur, and ho did not even take the customary precaution of lowing down hit- spetil when in tbtt known vicinity ot ice. All went merry m shipboard nd the captain was taking . hand in tho merriment. The baud played rag-time music to tickle ll>e ears of tbe crowd. But a fi:w minutuj after- ward and the rag-lime music did not sat- isfy. It wai then that the 1> mil found it more appropriate to play ' Nearer My Cud to Thee." The play of circumstance n well ex mplided when the nireles* i-perator on the Carpa'.bia calm- so narrowly miising the call for he!]' Mi.- was ubout to re- move the up|>arilus from his e-us and re- tire when the cry came for help An- etht-i minute and it would not have been beard. The proUbility is that without wireless the fate of I lit) Timnic would never have been'known. It IN not likely thai otherwise a single person would h-tve tiuen Harexl. Before tbe inquiry now ({oingon, Man- ger Ismay, who was on the doomed \enael, stated that in leaving the ship lie took nobody's place why should he not eve himself The lat answer t that U to point out llmt he lelt more (ban sixteen , hundred peop'tt on board when he took to his boat. How, thuii, can liu ay that he took nobody's place < This plan is receiving a ({riddling tint ho n > ioubt richly deserves. What a iMiitrjsf Ixitween this man and Second OHicvr liighthulder, who remained OD the vessel tintil it disappeared liriienth the waves and was providentially rescued.

Too many forgtt this, and forget that rn the ocean Mm is ou' of hie unlive element, where <li- iMi-i spells death. So far as human knowledge wont it wiis thought impossible ti> sink thn vessel. With n head-on collision this would pro- Ubly have been true, but there was n weak point that was unknown and the ice found that point, ripping open the iron side of the great ship as a can opeuur would operate. Thin was the only way the Titanic could h;iv been MiiiUrn and it was unl liotiglil of. Speed I Speed !

JOURNALISTIC AMENITIES In our journalist!'? expciience extend- ing uvii twenty lire years, we have found that mot newspaper men are honorabl .', and honest enough tn credit their confreres with any peculiarly brilliant l,it of editorial work wl :oh they freely like copying. Still, there is occasionally a newspaper man who lids 'by Home accident got into a position for which nature did not. fit him, and who is willing to accepts false reputation for clevei editorial work by clipping rii(ht nd left limn hia exchange* without giving them any credit. The news- paper ni .n is aot ali.nr in this repre- hensible ounduct.howewer , He ia aasociu- ted with the best of company, because we havs known the name things to h'i|i{u-n in the pulpit.

True, it was yuan gu we knew llua to happen, *ncl per- haps it is never indulged m now, but the reprehensible moral ethics atlll exint in tin: journalist world to a frightful extent. The iriiMui that has given rise to thete remarks << found in a ilttver little item tint IMS been going ll e round* of our exchange* without credit und the 111 hor- htp of which is unknown to ui.
