An eXchanG" deplores the fact that
so many young men Of this country
embark upon professions regardless of
their fitness for the same, and invite
failure in instances where success
would have attended efforts applied
in the right direction. The reference
10 the evils of the mistaking of ones
calling is timely. There is scarcely a
locality in the universe that cannot
furnish glaring examples of the mis-
fortunes that attend the endeavors of
young men TO succeed in walks of life
that are not suited to their attain
ments. How many times daily do we

The new Jersey law compelling Trac-
tion companies to protect their motor
men with vestibuled cars went into
effect Monday and it is proposed by the
authorities to enforce it throughout the
state. No time is being lost in making
Investigations as to the intention of
corporations and it is probable that the

GONE TO THE "DIP."
From the wnkes-Barre Record.

From the Wilkes-Barre Record.
Accustomed as we are in the coal re-
gions to deeds of heroism, the tragedy
Of the other day in the Won Storch mine
OF Scranton cannot be read without feel
ing deeply the pathos and horror of the
awful event. The poor Hungarian who
kept himself alive amid the fire and
smoke all around him by drinking the air
produced by an old broken fan, the crank
Of which he turned constantly, now
feeb!y and again with the strength OF de-
spair for some sixteen hours, never dar-
ing to stop a moment for fear of being
suffocated, reads like an impossible page
In some melodramatc story The
Huns" as We call them generally, In
obedience to an American habit of bring
ing everything to point, have not cX-
actly been known for facing great dam
gers with firm mental equipoise; but all
the same they are shown in this thrill
ing feat in a new light, and few more
such examples Of foresight Will do much
toward disturbing the settled belief that
these poor people ere beyond learning.
o
Usually heretofore it has been the Hun
that fired the gas, or exploded the pow
der. killing and manning hemseif or hun
dreds of others because of his impene-
trable Ignorance. But they seem to be i'm
proving. No doubt the dreadful expert
ences they have had to encounter from
time to time, have taught them many val
liable lessons and at last they seem to be
seeing accurately instead of as through
glass darkly. The Huns shortly Will
mine most of our coal and in proportion
as they improve in their methods of
working and in their conduct as citizens,
that much will they add to their value
as miners and thus rise to a correspond
ing degree in the estimation of all other
classes. The people, therefore. read with
pity and yet with pride of this poor fell
low who knew how to save his life with
%
The manner too, in which the other
miners in the Won Storch accident faced
death and left behind them written ac-
counts of their peril, is read also with
beating hearts and intense sympathy for
them. The foreman kept tally of their
condition from time to time as the deadly
gas and smoke kept sitting them. They
watched, as 1t were, the pale horse COM
ing for them and as their senses thick
ened and the stupor slowly overpowered
them, they must have felt as though the
fates had been horribly crue. to them.
One wrote to his wife and children, tell
ing them he would never see them again,
as death was only a short way off. I'm
agine his torture, for the screws and the
rack were put to him surely. Finally as
last resort all the poor victims started
for another part of the mine. where they
thought the air might be better. 1--WE

they never got there.

Concerning the Pesult.

The Republcan victory in this coun-
ty Tuesday was not as high as the
flag staff not as wide as a barn door
but it will serve. The defeat Of Lang
STAFF, Heuster and Beck is sincerely
to be regretted. The latter went down
before a sympathy wave for Koch.
IIuester's defeat was a consequence
largely of Warnke's superior activity.
The fate of Langstaf cannot satisfac-
torily be accounted for until time has
been afforded for a detailed ANALYSIS
of the official returns; but no man on
the ticket received more earnest and
energetic support from the Republican
organization.
The large DETECTION of Republican
votes from PRYOR TO Leach and Okell
accounts for Pryor's small plurality.
Some of this was due to Deach's per-
sonal popularity and was compliment
tary in nature; some of 1t arose from
mistaken sympathy for Okel, who
pleaded for votes 'to save his little
home" but who forgot to mention that
his candidacy from start to finish had

knowledge twice offered for sale. once
at $500 and later at $500; and some
of it came as an inheritance of the
general apathy and restlessnesss of the
off year following an unprecedented
presidential fight. But Lackawanna,
with the election of a Republican
sheriff, prothonotary, district attor-
ney and clerk of the courts-four out
of the seven important county offices
makes relatively a better showing
than any of the other Pennsylvania
counties having similarly complex
population and in a year of universal
Republican slump stands up compara-
lively high and dry.
Republicans of the stalwart type,
having thus held their own against
the greatest odds likely to confront
them in several years, may now
breathe freely. They have proved their
steadfastness ani are entitled to gen.
uine congratulation.

The Vote for Swallow

1t is not necessary to endorse DR..
Swallows Wholesale and indiscrimin-
ate method of attack upon Republican
state officials to perceive that in the
enormous vote which he has just polled
there lies an imperative admonition to
Pennsylvania Republicanism. Much of
the material that this enterprising
clergyman used in his campaign of as
sault upon the reigning Republican
dynasty in Pennsylvania was either
false in fact or juggled so as to de-
ceive. Enough of it was true, however,
to lend plausibilty to the whole argu-
ment; and back Of all was popular
disgust with the state governments
Superabundant factionalism which
concluded to make the political knight
errantry of the Dauphin Don QulXote a
prctext for saying to the belligerent
soldiers of fortune: "a plague on both
your houses"
The vote of Swallow was a vote of
censure on the last state legislature
and upon factional wrangling and cat
erwaulinS lately grown intolerahle; but
i!lOl Z IMAM llltls IL was a serving OF fOr-
NAL notice upon the Republican lead
ership in command in this great state
that in the important politics of the
newt few months the people, also, intend
to have some say. PENNSYLVANIA is
gladly loyal to party organization and
command when thase evince due re-
spect for public decency and public
opinion. But Pennsylvania can be
tempestuous and sullen and at times
completely revolutionary when the
strength of organization is welded by
one man or group of men arbitrarily
and dictatoriallv. and when in the
choosing of officials and in the shap-
ing Of legislative or executive policies
there is want of fairnesss and lack
Of candor.
The returns of this last state cleo
tion constitute a storm signal. Skillful
pilotage will heed the warning and
choose the course Of prudence ana
safety.

Nothing could be more unfortunate for
the cause of Cuba than the widespread
repetition of the contention that the an
neXatlon Of the island to the United
States must follow as a logical sequence
or It's separation from Spain, No matter
how kindly may be the motives behind it,,
this agitation is damaging and vexatious.
Its immediate effect will be to retard any
peace negotiations which may be under
taken by the revolutionary leaders and
the Spanish authorities. To recognize the
Independence and surrender control of
Cuba even on the most liberal terms will
be calling enough to Spain, and she will
be doubly reluctant TO do so on any con-
ditons which even remotely contemplate
the possible acquisition of the territory
by this government Cuban annexation IS

The Kankakee, ILL.,, idea of fun seems
to differ from that usually noted III
civilized lands. The physicians and
male attendants of the State Hospital
for the Insane broke up II Halloween
parry which the women attendants We're
enjoying by turning a fire department
hose on the participants. The result
was rather serious to a number of the
victims of the sport" who suffered
from broken bones and dangerous
bruises. One nurse who was awarded
medal for bravery in saving a pa
tient from the icy waters of the Kan
kakee river last year, was alarmingly
injured by being beaten down with the
full force Of water from the hose. One
is forced to wonder how the unfortun-
ate patients of this institution must
be treated If such brutality prevails
among its staff officials.
