1t will take some time TO discover tho cause
Of the explosion at the Ann and Hope mill in
Lonsdalc, and, as n matter Of fact, the real
cause may never be ascertained. This disas-
ter emphasizes the fact which the Gosssiper a
short time ago called attention TO. that this
State is In need Of a law which will compel
all men who seek employment as engineers or
firemen to prove their fitness for such posi-
tions. 1t has been n cause OF complaint
among competent engineers that they were
being displaced by incompetent men, because
the latter would work for n smaller compen-
sation than experienced men could afford to
do. The responsibility for this condition OF
affairs is not laid at the door of the employers
entirely. as the men WHIT apply to them for
employ men. always claim that they are COM
petent. snd IL Is not possible oftentimes to
make an Investigation to determine whether
their assertions are true or false. The manu-
facturer, while he is DESTROYS Of keeping his
pay roll as small as possible, will not know
inply jeopardike the lives OF his help or the
safety Of his plant by engaging an incompe-
tent man but how Is he to Judge of the quail.
~ications OF applicants. He must Of necessity
depend largely upon their statements. This
no would not have to do IL the State had a
law requiring all men who sought to manage
steam boilers to be licensed. Under such con-
ditions the license would be evidence ct the
competency and efficiency OF the holler, and
could be accepted as such. Indeed, the many
advantages OF a license law must be apparent
TO any one who inquiries into the mstter.
The only objection that can be made to 1t will
DO on the score of economy. 1t may he argued
that in the present condition OF the State
finances it will not be possible 20 90 to the
expense of maintaining an examining hoard,
hut the answer TO this is hat the fees re-
ceived for licenses will more than meet all
expenses of maintaining the new system.

TO Walk OF Rider

The Reform club in London, which
ia the f.onghold OF the Liberal party,
and to which all the Liberal aristoc-
racy belong. Is rent in twain at the
present moment through the generous
offer of member of the institution
who resides In Chicago. Having OBJ
served that there was no elevator on
the premises, he offered to give $1,000
to supply the deficiency. The club is
only two stories high, the upper level
being gained by flight Of broad and
carefully graded staircases. which are,
however, difficult of ascent to those
older members who are rendered In.
firm by age and by gout. Those, OF
course, gratefully welcomed the gener-
GUS offer Of their Chicago fellow-mem-
ber.
The younger element, however. OBJ
jected to the elevator. and the result
was that rival petitions have been
circulated, half the club being In favor
of the elevator and half against. The
fight wages fierce and bitter, and the
committee finds Itself in so great q
quandary about the matter that 1t has
been compelled to call general meet
ing of the club In order to take Its
views before arriving at any decision
