WHEELING MISSES OPPORTUNITY

The people of Wheeling have caused =
very infavorable estimate OF their intel.
ligence and civic pride to 90 out over
this state on account of their action or
the bond issue of $4,000, tine board Of
education Thought necessary for the ac.
ceptance of Andrew Carnegie's offer Of
$4,000, with which to provide buidinp
for a public libarary, his only condition
being that 5000 be raised TO maintain
it. 1t was proposed to raise this money
by issuing bonds, but scarcely half the
people of that city took enough interest
in this great opportunity, 10 go to the
polls and vote one way or the other. 1t
appears 10 the Telegram that it was
such a matter as would have commanded
the attention and consideration Of every
citizen OF that place. The board Of edu.
cation should not feel discouraged but
put forth their strongest efforts in an
other campaign for it, hold another cleo
ton and insist that the people for their
own good and that Of their posterity
support a measure that nearly NIL other
cities, if they had the chance, would be
only too glad to carry through.

RECORD IMpREssEs DUTY.

The frightful record of the past two
months the country made in the ma.
ture OF appalling loss of life on account
OF accidents of various kinds begins to
impress the mind with the uncertainty
of life and the certainty of death. Such
a period has not been witnessed for
many years in this country and in these
times of peace it seems so strange that
there should be such fearful loss of life.
I'm some instances ii has been conclusively
shown that these accidents were due to
negligence, carelessness and disobedience
10 the Inv. Doubtless, that will be the
result of investigations into some of the
recent mine disasters. There Is great
risk in all mines and on THAT account
too much care can not be taken. Mine
inspectors, operators, and employees
should bear in mind the fact that even
their own lives are not safe, unless
every one of them does his whole duty
in looking after the condition of the
mine and keeping it in first -class shape.
Even the best regulated mine requires
constant inspection and there should be
no dereliction on the part of any one
connected with it.
