Hey, little lad, with your bonnie blue eyes,
Come with your laughter-we1 dream OF

That are waiting for us in the Land of

Come, and Wen float on the beautiful sea
In the Dream Ship that's waiting for you

Up in these arms. My. those kisses are

On the River of Sleep in the little Dream

Hey. little lad, but how heavy you've

You've slipped to your dreaming and left

As the blue of your eyes and the gold of

TO PREVENT MINE DISASTERS.

some experiments with a view to as
special reference to coal mines, can be
prevented. Every year the nation is
shocked by a coal mine disaster some-
where in the country. Hardly a month
passes. indeed. without its record of
loss of life among men who earn their
living by digging coal out of the
ground. If the government can map
out any plan that will check this loss
of life il will have accomplished a
most valuable work
A description of the undertaking saws:
Determined efforts TO stop the ap-
palling sacrifice of lives in the coal
mines of the United States are to be
made at once by the fuel division of the
geological survey Plans have been
drawn for an unique experimental sta
ton at which tests of the various ex.
plosives used in blasting coal will be
made TO determine their safety in the
pISSeilCS VI IRE udiup anu coal gas.
The explosives will be projected by
mortar into a vast boiler-plate cylinder
filled with gas, and the effects will be
carefully noted. If ignition fails after
severe tests. explosives will be known
as permissible explosives. and their
use will be urged.
There also will be experiments in
rescue work. One part of a station
viii be fitted as a miniature mine, and
miners and operators viii be taught
how to save lives. 1t is declared that
hundreds of lives could be saved were

The CASE OF scHMITZ.

Mayor Schmitz has at last turned
over the reins of San Francisco's gov
eminent to other hands. Lacking the
outright, he has agreed TO be guided in
his official actions by committee rep
resenting the citys most prominent
business interests. 1t would have been
better for Schmitz if he had resigned
outright. entered a plea of guilty to the
boodling charges against him and start
ed for the penitentiary to begin serving
out his just sentence.
Schmitz is facing the inevitable now.
Unless all the indications are at fault,
he will go to prison ultimately as sure
~ as there is sunshine and rain. He
cannot hope TO escape. The detection
of Ruef leaves Schmitz without leg
to stand on. He must fall. And he de-
serves to fall. This man consented to
and profited by the pilIaging OF san
Francisco in the city's darkest hour.
He is as bad as the ghoul that robs the
bodies of the dead. The sooner ne is
better off San Francisco viii be.
The case Of Schmitz contains more of
tragedy than appears on the surface,
not tragedy as far as the individual is
concerned. but tragedy for the cause
Schmitz was supposed to represent. He
is serving his third term as mayor OF
one of the most important cities i'm the
country. Each time he was elected as
a candidate Of organized labor. He
vas recognized during the first years
of his public service as an able man
and the trades union members were
accustomed to point to him as an ex-
ample of the men in their ranks
Schmitz's downfall will be a blow to
union labor. especially to union labor
as officehOlders. Enemies of the unions
viii not hesitate to hold him up as an
awful warning: they will not hesitate
TO gloat over his criminal lapse. This
is not a just attitude TO take, but IL
Will be taken. Schmitz is not a type of
the labor leader. Most of them, for
tunately for their cause, are honest
men; and most of them sedulously re-
frain from taking any active part in
politics.
While we are on the subject of
Schmitz it may be we'll to call atten-
ton TO the fact that the cleaning up
of San Francisco will not have been
accomplished until after some of the
men sehtQhar NM have haaY, i,,,,N,.;scv
The bride giver is equally as guilty as
the bribetaker. Sometimes we are in
olined TO think there is less excuse for

accompany the other grafters to prison.

ENeLANp's PUBLICITY LAWS.

The British house of commons is con-
sidering a bill 10 amend the present
laws regarding publicity for corpora
| tons so as TO require companies that
do not issue prospectuses and foreign
companies registered in Great Britain
to publish statements Of their assets,
liabilities, methods of management and
other information for the protection of
the public. AS the law stands at pres
ent only companies issuing prospect
uses and making open appeals to in
vestors are required to publish state
ments.
The act has been made necessary by
the evaslons resorted to by unserdpu-
lous promoters. They nave organized
corporations and, without issuing pros
pectuses and without alluring adver-
tisements have succeeded in disposing
of a considerable quantity Of worthless
stock with entire safety to themselves.
1t is this evil that the proposed law is
designed to remedy. The measure is
progressing favorabIy toward cnac-
ton. But there are other features of
the bill which it may he necessary 70
eliminate One of those is provision
which forbids the sale of stock at less
than its par value. Considerable oDjec-
ton has been urged to this clause,
though some Of Great Britain's best
known financiers are urging il.
They say that for promoters ID sell
stock at less than its par value is to
make fraud easy and disaster to the
investor probable. UNIFORMED people.
being offered a stock at 50 or - per
cent OF its par value believe the5- are
securing a bargain when. as a matter
of fact, they are often securing stock
that is hardly worth the paper on
which the certificate is engraved.
1t IS a very common practice in this
country in the promotion Of new cor
pOrations to sell stock below the par
value In the matter of mining con-
pany promotions the practice is SO
common that it may he said to be uni
versal. One of the purposes iii this is
to secure quickly enough money Ia open
and develop the property on which the
corporation is based. And a reason
may be found in the fact that the hon.
est promoter believes implicitly in the
value of his property. He believes 1t
will rise in value with development
and. when the stock goes 20 par or be-
yond. the original purchaser derives the
benefit.
Another interesting feature of the
British bill is the provision for the es-
Enlistment of a companies board,
central Organization to see to the en-
forcement of the act. This board is to
hold sessions at stated intervals, and IT
is required TO furnish iEforma ton to
prospective investors at all times re-
garding the values of stocks In which
they have become interested.
