WHY MOI BLAME MONTY


The Morning News has curious edito
rial tending TO prove that those acid
chambers at the Walton & Whann Com
pany's works whose noxious fumes have
caused four deaths and an indefinite
amount Of sickness are wholesome rlaces,
fitted for daily exercise and recreation.
The News sets about proving that
proposition Just as 1t set about proving
that Chief swlggett was to be comph-
mented for his quiet Efforts to supple
ment his salary with the sandwich swag
The arguments are equally lucid and
equally successful.
The News deprecates any mention Of
the facts Of the deaths "from pneu-
monia" as an effort TO stir up i'll feeling
about the matter.
The News is afraid the company may
have to abandon the use Of those acid
chambers or send men into them who are
not suffering from pneumonia. Either
would be a calamity.
The News adgances and recedes attacks
aud defends everything and everybody
simultaneously and almost concludes that
the four men are no. dead at all. Thus;

We do not believe that the aeid fumes
alone could have caused pneumonia any
more than we believe that the men
actually had pneumonia and that the
| fumes aggravated this disease to the
point Of dearh.
If that means anything it means that
death was caused by the deadly fumes Of
those acid chambers. But in the name Of
all that is true. sensible and perspicuous,
what does the News mean by thisl
In the case Of the acid chambers there
