In Municipal Affairs,

The reelection of Mayor schmld,

of the fact that it is futile to depend
upon partisan majority as a sure

party ticket straight in municipal cleo.

President McDermott Indicated the
lines of legislation along which it ap.

legislature ought to be directed. The
list included many OF the most i'm.

have been widely discussed through
the columns of the State press. Colonel
McDermott's legislative programme is
a good one but his friends will be SCR!

row TIE PRESIDENT IS srHoNc.

a very strong and truthful tribute

which we think worthy or reproduction
by any paper. This praise coming as
y does from an Independent paper
with strong Democratic tendencies
snaltes the force Of the articis more AZ.
parent. S. &.
Those ready critics Of the President.
who think they perceive a decline to
his popularity. and who are even ready
to aecuse him of leaning toward tyr.
amy in his efforts to correct great cor.
porate abuses, overlook the fact that
he has personified the popular demand
for these reforms and has done more
than any other man or agency to bring
them about He has stirred the peo-
pie to m active realization OF their
rights and powers and has shown them
that a struggle to bring corporations
to account need not be made in vain.
The great corporate, organized wealth
Of the country has been taught les
son by President Roosevelt that 1t will
never forget. 1t is not the arrogant
tyrant that it once presumed to be. 1t
las hesn brought to terms. 1t is will.
ing to treat for cessation OF iiostili.
ties.
This great fact stands to the credit
of President Roosevelt ana nothing cas-
deprive him OF 1t. His critics have
mistaken impulsive speech for reck-
less action. They confound superb
courage and fidelity to public trast
with disposition TO tyrannize and.
usurp authority. 1t might be better,
OF course, that nothing unstudied
should ever be uttered by the Presi-
dent. But it is better that he should
give evidence of honest Indignation
than that he should be lacking In the
indispensable qualities which serve
the people SO well in their fight against
corporate encroachment. The people
have learned long ago that the Press
dent is sound to the core on this most
vital of questions and that his acts
speak louder than his words. They
tfTast his implicitly, because. they have
tested HIM. Others have failed, for
one reason or another. but Theodore
Roosevelt, whatever his imperfections,
has not failed. For this reason he
holds a place in the confidence OF the
people which cannot be shaken.
The talk of waning popularity" and
tyranny" as applied to President
Roosevelt. is pure rubbish. He stands
supreme among Americans as cham,
pion Of popular rights. The only tyr
amy manifest in this country was that
of the corporate influences. which are
making the discovery that they have
found their master.

The Mine Horror.

The fact that two mine disasters.
within As hours OF each other. have oc-
CURED in West Virginia pending the
consideration of mining laws by the
Legislature, will probably have has
tenfng effect upon the lawmakers in
the way Of pushing such Legislation.
The mine commission report filed
with the Legislature seems to have
been thoroughly prepared and CON
tains many recommendations. 1t does
not please, however, all the working
miners. who say the proposed changes
are not drastic enough one point
lacking, 1t is explained, Is that the
power is not given an inspector TO-
close summarily a mine for failure to
obey the law. He must sim hunt up.
a circuit Judge and get out an IN
junction, tedious process in West
Virginia. The governor himself con
siders this deficiency and calls Mt
tention to the defect In his message.
to the legislature, suggesting the
change.
Inc best Improvement which could
be made to the mining laws, in the,
opinion of the News. Is one rightly reg
nIating the employment OF inexperi-
enced men. The chief mine inspector
himself blames many OF the horrors OF
the past two years upon the practice
OF allowing green miners 10 do dam
gerous work. A good plan would be.
to have a standard of Qualification
before miner is entrusted with
work which involves danger TO life.
II is also curious fact that some of
the worst have occurred in new mines.
presumably equipped with ali the
latest devices. The accident at Der
rysburg was notable example. This
mine was credited with being the most
finely equipped in the country. still
an accident occurred That good
equipment and careful supervision by
owners do have tendencyto prevent
accidents is proved, however, by the
practices followed by the Fairmont
Coal Company. 1t was shown before
the mining commission that this com
pany not only assists the State inspec-
tors in every way in its power, but
employs inspectors of its own. whose
sole business Is to look, after matters
pertaining TO the safety of us EN-
ployes. 1t was further testified that,
the company. in the precautions It
takes. the equipment Il uses and In rs
ventilating arrangements, follows u
standard far above that required by
the laws of this or any other State.
For such a policy the governor warm
~ commends the company. and 1t is
most significant that the mines Of the
Fairmont company have been sing,t-
larry free from great accidents. 1t
lis not too much to say this freedom
from accidents is due to the meas
ures and precautions taken by the
company.-wheelings News.
