In sending to Mayor Gaynor a check for $5,000 to aid the survivors of the Titanic disaster, Mr. Carnegie asked what the Titanic was doing among i the icebergs when there was another and safe passage. It is a erv pertinent Question. The desire of the owners for the great Titanic on her maiden ~ r% 11 ??A/>Arr1o r*?>o*n T*fl ? voyage, lu urcan an ? less of danger, seems to have been the cause of the death of sixteen hundred people. 1 HOW THEY DIED. We would stand for a moment uncovered in the shadow which the awful Titanic disaster has cast upon the civilized world, and add our feeble tribute of respect to the memory of those who died the death of heroes. Like the purple and golden tints of a setting sun upon a heavy cloud, the gallantry of the men who enforced the unwritten law of the sea, "women antf children first," stands out in bold and beautiful relief against the dark back ground of the tragedy. Nelson at Trafalgar presented no finer picture than did Capt Smith, as, standing upon his sinking ship, he admonished his crew: "Be British, my men!" The true nobility of those J words, in that crisis, when all the issues of life and death were crowding thick and fast around, entitles them to a place with tiia,t other exhortation, treasured in England's history: "Engi land expects every man to do his duty." It ia reported that Capt. Smith, after being washed overboard, Tescued a struggling child, and then j swam back to die at his post of duty. | wont Hnwn with his shiD. fax offi- ! cer unafraid. John Jacob Astor, with his millions, and the other wealthy men aboard, forgot the rank that wealth bestows 1 in a commercial age, and showed the stuff of which true Americans and true Britons are made. Major Archie Butt, military aide to j President Taft, as the president has , well said, died on deck as a soldier I should. It is a fine story of heroism ( the rescued women relate in telling of 1 Major Butt. They picture him aiding the women and children into the life boats, and hurling back, with his manly strength, a panic-stricken man who i . broke the discipline of the ship in the 1 ** ' ' m *- _ ~ 1 J 4k effort to iorce uis way aueau wi Ii took his place upon the deck, spoke his courteous adieus to those whom he : had helped to save, and faced death with a smile?a figure looming large and heroic in that vast expanse where he was soon to find his grave?a soldier to the last, and an honor to the American army. The love of some of the women for their husbands was greater than their fear of death, and some of them refused to leave, preferring to enter the great unknown with their loved ones. There were many others, probably, who showed an unassuming courage equal to that of Capt Smith and Maj. . Butt and Col. Astor?some of them unknown outside their family circle, but to wDom lite was just as sweet i and the agony of separation just as j great. When the annals of the sea are reviewed in the years to come, the story of the gallantry of the crew and the passengers of the Titanic, who had /^rvtio ti'Vio+ thor r>r\ii 1 fnr fttTiDTC I then calmly awaited the entrance into the Port of Missing Ships, while the band played "Nearer, My God, to Thee," will make one of the most glorious chapters. The great epics of the past have ? furnished nothing more thrilling. Nothing finer has come down to us ' from the days when chivalry bloomed and knighthood was in flower. DEMOCRATIC CLUB MEETINGS.
