Appalling Industrial Death. Roll.

The United States is Justly suffer

most reckless waste of human life of
any civilized countrT in the world
This sad fact is imply sustained by
our own statisu cs. Other industrial
countries which we have completely
outstripped in the race for the worlds
business have considered special reg
ulation CT dangerous trades and ma
chinery a positive necessity. of mod
-ern industry. We have done practi-
cally nothing. 1t is. thigh time, de-
clares Edgar T. Davies, chief factory
inspector of Chicago, in Leslie
Weekly, that these facts became
known to our people, that the cordl-
lions be understood, and the public
conscience aroused SO that proper
remedies may be applied for at the
hands of our legislatures with some
promise of success. The people Of
the United States, somewhat inflated
with an inordinate sense of their own
greatness and their wonderful ma
teriaI prosperity, stupidity refuse In
these times of peace to keep abreast
of the enlightened humane countries
of the world but go on killing every
four years, according to reliable esti-
mates, some $4,000 people more than
all who fell in battle and died OF
wounds during the entire period of
our civil war. In other words, we are
now killing in industrial accidents

SPAIN FAR BEHIND NATIONS.
iiIiteracy Prevails There to Most
Amazing Extent.

OF the 100000 people inhabiting
Spain, only about 35 per cent can
read and write; another two and one
half per cent. of the population can
read without being able to write, but
the remaining 6211 per cent. are abb
solute illiterates. In the south of
Spain it is impossible to get a serv-
ant who can read and write, and
many of the postmen are unable to
tell to whom the letters they carry
are addressed They bring a bum

owner looks through them and takes
those which are Cor which he thinks
are) addressed to him. The Spanish
postmen are not paid by the state;
the recipient of the letters have to
remunerate them according to the
amount of their correspondence, and
each letter costs the addressee at
least one cent. 1t is a joke among
the easy-going Spaniards that he who

A New Society.

The Cosmopolitan society, which
has been organized in Brooklyn by
members of various nationaiities and
races, for the purpose of promoting
good feeling between such races and
opposing the exploitation of any one
by any other, is a little out of the
general category of associations
formed for serious purposes. 1t has
the admirable object of interesting it
self at once in the anti-Japanese cru
SADIE and the Jim Crow car movement.
To be consistent, the Italian and the
Jew must also come under it's SYM
pathetic concern. 1T will be interest
ing to see how long such body can
maintain it's existence without subor-
dinating it's ideal of the parliament of
man to some particular issue. 1t is
the general opinion of those most ex-
perienced in forming leagues, we be-
lieve, remarks the New York Post,
that it is unwise to hitch a wagon to
more than one star Yet the gain in
efficiency and unanimity may some
times be offset by a loss in real in
fluence. Advocates of this or that
special measure are necessarily try
ing to secure favorable expressions OF
opinion from the permanent bodies
that are not formed for one special
kind of propaganda, and command the
more influence for that reason, like
the Chamber of Commerce, the Ma
tional Board of Trade, and, preemi
nenty, the great political parties.

If faith has anything to do with
church building, the future historian
will characterize the present as an
age of remarkable belief in higher
things, for at no time in the past
were 50 many splendid churches
building or planning. The Roman
Catholics of London have got their
beautiful cathedral so far advanced
that they are using it The Protes-
tant Episcopalians are at work on a
cathedral in New York which, when
completed, will rank with the great
churches of the world, and plans
have lately been accepted for a ca
thedral in Washington, for the same
church, which will be only a little
smaller than the one in New York.
The German emperor has built in Ber-
lin ''domed church, as it is called,
that is a fine example of ecclesias-
teal architecture. There are hun
dreds of smaller churches going up
all the time; but it is the great stone
structures intended to last for cen
turtles that will reveal to the future
generations the religious spirit of the
present.
