THE appalling calamity at the Cam
bria mines near Johnstown, Pa, and
the dreadful loss of life attending the
same, is but another chapter to the
mine horrors throughout the country
that are getting to be all too common.
There does not seem to be any excuse
for these oft occurring deadly mine
accidents and it is >evident that some
one is at fault. The probability is
that there are plenty of laws on the
statute books but that like many other
laws they are not properly enforced.
AS a rule a miners life is not consid-
cred worth as much as that of a mule.
Laying aside the matter of the loss of
human lives it would seem that the
property losses were great enough to
warrant more rigid examination and
control of mines. On the other hand
there are probably many accidents
that occur from the acts of careless
miners. over which laws and constant
warnings by officials of the companies
have no control.

THE United States Steel corporation
has advanced the wages of all it's en-
ployes ten per cent. This will affect
the wages of 100000 men and will add
100000 to the annual pay roll of the
corporation. The increase applies to
union and non-union men. The inter-
ests that control the anthracite coal
mines might take,a lesson from this.
The sum of 100000 is big amount,
but at the same time is an intinitesimal
percentage of the total amount of the
profits OF the steel corporation. But
this{is neither here nor there. The
fact remains thai the company volun-
tarily made the advance and was no
doubt prompted BY Che best Of motives.

PORTIONS of eastern North Dakota
and the Red River valley in Minnesota
were swept early Tuesday evening by
most terrific tornado and cyclone
which continued on its course later in
the evening southwark over Mime
sofa, leaving destruction in it's path
and wiping out hundreds of thousands
OF dollars worth of grain. No reliable
estimates can be made at the present
time of the damage wrought by the
storm of wind and hail. : In parts of
the country tributary to Fergus Falls
hail stones measuring from four to
twelve inches in circumference are re-
ported to have fallen. Hail stones
were picked up in the vicinity of Park
ere Prairie and Henning eight inches
deep the morning after. the storm
which at those points fell early in
the evening. The crops in western
Stearns county are reported damaged
all OF $125,000. Corn is said to be al
most a total loss in that section and
wheat and other crops will average
less than one-third in many places.
The storm was quite severe around
and in the vicinity Of Duelm where it
is said much damage was done to prop
erty and growing crops. The storm
king seemed to have reigned all over.
the country on. Tuesday as the. east
was also visited by q destructive storm.

GERMAN CONTROL or TRUSTS.


Our readers will hear much the com
ing fall from the opposition who will
charge the Republican party with be-
ing responsible for the trusts, name
we admit that does not sound we'll, but
which nevertheless stands for legiti-
mate phase of modern commercial de-
velopment. The solution of the trust
problem is in the governmental control
of the same. Trade laws and customs
make it possible for trust control of
trade and territory covered by the
same, and it ought to be and is possible
for government control of the corpora
tions and commercial combinations
that seek to. control trade. The Re-
publican party is no more responsible
for trusts than Baalam's ass is for the
Democratic party. Trusts have ex-
listed in European countries for many
years and report by Consul General
Mason Of Berlin gives an Interesting
account of the manner of the develop
ment of the trust era in Germany and
the system of government control. The
German trusts or trade combinations
have built up Industrial Germany, but
there is such rigid supervision over
the trusts by the government that
there is no distrust on the part of the
people who have faith in them. Ger
man trusts have used their power in
conservative manner, and have not
sought to prevent speculation and
overproduction. They have through
long contracts and fixed prices steadied
values and given regular employment
to labor. The element of publicity is
the most important factor used in the
control of German trusts. Every de-
tail of; corporate organization is. under
rigid government inspection. There
are periodical publications showing
the condition of the affairs of each cor
poration in any way connected with
trust and a faithless or dishonest d.
rector or official goes to prison under
conviction the same as any ordinary
law breaker. The same system will
have to be adopted in this country be-
fore the people will have much CONT
dence in trusts. Trusts should have
no more rights or powers than individ-
uals, and after all trusts as rule are
directed by a single individual or one
master director who is clothed with
almost, unlimited powers. The gov
ernment's duty to the people does not
cease until it shows<to the Individual
apd the individuals connected with
trade combinations their limit of trade
power. a..

unlike the democrats, aid not endorse a
proposition one campaign and condemn Il
the next. He placed the blame for the
formation Of trusts and their growth in
the country at the hands Of the democrats.
Trusts had their inception during the
last democratic administration, he said,
and their formation was due to the condl-
tion OF the Industries OF the country at
that time. Those business men. proprie-
tors Of factories, who survived the hard
times brought about by the mismanage-
ment Of the affairs Of the country by the
democrats. Joined together to prevent a
ting Of throats by each other in order to
get rid Of their products, which was neces-
sary for them to do to be saved under
the Cleveland administration. The demo-
Gratis promised to make laws to govern
the trusts when they were given power,
but they did nothing"
