Improving Steel Kails.

by the United States Steel corpora
tion to make a better quality of steel
rail In the Interest of safe travel.
Chairman Gary has accordingly
planned s series of meetings of steel
men, the flrst of which baa been held,
attended also by many railroad offi
cials, looking to this object. Re
curring railroad wrecks as the result
of defective ralla has Impressed on
the minds of railroad and steel men
the necessity of s better grsde of

this direction. The ocesslon for It Is
not just now brought to the stlen
tlon of those responsible for the first
time. Tbs lata E. H. Harrtmau In
1(07 aounded s demand for stronger
rails, which was immediately taken
up by the American Iron and Steel
Institute, with tba result that Harrl
msn and other magnates begun to
order heavier snd more costly rails,
but sven the additional weight snd
coat price seem not to have met the
demands entirely. Judge Gary, him
self, gives out s statement following
this first meeting which plainly shows
that.
It la contended that the poor qual
ity la the rail Is due to the process
'of rolling then, too hot In order to
Increase the output of the plants. It
Is Interesting to bava this confession
made, for It tends to bear out the

This !a the latent comment of the
shrewd phl!ospher ef the Ar-rchey road
for whom Mr. Dunne has given us sll sn
affection, unless It shall be said that It
was Mr. Dobley who has given us an af
fection for Mr. Dunne. The hit at Mr.
Taft Is one to provoke laughter. It calls
up a vision of the president as a solid,
slow-moving character who assuredly is
not Inclined to Inject tha sporting ele
ment of chance into the same of politics
or of statefmanshlp. But laughter at the
sally may well be followed by Ita closer
and more serioue application to Mr.
Taft's record.
It will have to be admitted that Mr.
Tsft has never "taken a chance" in the
sense of deftly catching up some new
Idea and then loudly advocating or
quietly abandoning It according to
whether or not It attracted popular favor.
He has not declared. "Thafa bully, I'll
write a metxage about It to congress to
morrow," when some visitor to the White
House presented a brand new notion.
Nor has he "tsken a chance" with the
national honor Irt any such manner as
hla distinguished predecetsor did when
he "took" the Panama canal sone snd
recognised the so-called revolution, which
may be believed to have had its origin
pretty near the office of William Nelson
Cromwell In New York.
But there are some chances which Mr.
Taft has taken. The same predecessor
who "took" the cansl son, snd who wss
once a professional tariff reformer, as
tutely avoided the tariff question, realis
ing Its difficulty and dangers, and 1 ft
it aa a political Pandora's box for Mr.
Taft. That Mr. Taft should have taken
the chances involved In the consideration
of tha tariff in tha special session called
immediately after the beginning of his
administration may be argued to be no
special matter of credit to him, for he was
pledged-eomewhat as a prisoner Is
pledged to ball and chain to the perform
ance of the long overdue task which Mr.
Roosevelt had dodged. But, for example.
In mobilising the troops In Texsa a year
ago upon the private representations of
our Mexican ambassador. Mr. Taft took
what may fairly ba called a chance If
anyone haa the patience to recall the
conditions of those days In order te safe
guard legitimate Interests snd to prevent
the possibility of this nation's becoming
involved. Mr. Tsft, in tha circumstances
which were known to him, although not
then to tha public, believed that ha was
doing whst the situation called for. But
It may now be appropriately brought to
mind that before the wisdom of hla action
had been demonstrated by events. Senator
La Kollette had began an attack upon
him for having concentrated the troops
out of regard for the aliened financial In
tereats In Mexico of one of his brothers,
while there bed been slsrted a campaign
of sentimental appeal against the presi
dent's course en Ihe ground that it was
hostile to the struggle of tha Mexican
patriots for liberty and free government.
Mr. Tsft hss been a good deal dogged by
ill-luck. Bret and last, but ths outcome
of sffstrs in Mexioo has been so com
plete a Justification of his course as to
causa forgetfullnesa that It was ever
questioned.
Ths most notable chance which sir
Taft has taken, and one which com
pares again with his predecessor's tariff
record, wss his resolute act in calling

since both were dominated by those anx-
loua to do him aU the political harm
within their power. He had no means
by which to limit tha activities of con
gress. But because he believed the
reciprocity agreement te be for the public,
advantags be invited congress into ac
tion, frankly and openly taking a chance
upon whatever might he dona by hla po
litical opponents, in and out of hla own
party, to Injure his political Drosuecta
and put him "In a hole.-
