The death record Of the coal mines in
this country is appalling. In the last
Il years 22,Si2 men have been killed in
them mostly by explosions. and in the
last six years many deaths Of this

are double those of 1895. In 1896 2061
were killed outright and more than twice
this number injured. There has been in

The Basis of Confidence for the New Year.
The able and conservative and always
well-informed Wall Street Journal says:
People differ as to the length Of the
depression, but there is a well-informed
section of the business world which pins
its faith to a rising star and looks for a
fairly active season for trade from New
year to the opening OF the spring. They
base their views on the fact that con-
sumption, outside of luxuries and high
priced necessities, is going on steadily
that the consuming world as a whole has
not lost its purchasing power TO any great
extent, and that as business throughout
the country up to the time of the panic
was on a substantially sound footing the
resumption of activity is only a question
of how soon the banks can be placed on a
cash basis

\ unique ceremony was performed in

house in Paris. 1t consisted of deposit
ing in a specially prepared vault a talk
ing machine and number Of discs bear
ing records of voices of the greatest sing
ers of the goth century Tamagano, Caruso,
Ssotti, Plancon, Patti, Melba, Calve and
others are represented in the selection.
The discs are in double boxes, each sep
arate from the other. Neither light nor
air can penetrate the coverings, and it is
believed they can be thus preserved for
a century. At the end OF 100 years they
will be opened, and the people OF that age
will have the opportunity of hearing
voices of this era, as well as seeing the
talking machine as manufactured today.

Cen Fred Grant evidently has some Of
his distinguished fathers characteristics
He has personal convictions and courage
and persistency in affirming them. We
refer to what he said in New York the
other night about total abstinence, and
to the way he said it over again when
the company laughed at him. 1t counts
for good deal when a man like Gen.
Grant stands up in a company of public
men and afiirms his belief in the princi-
pie Of total abstinence-not as a rule for
other people, hut for himself. because he
has tried it and found it the best way.
This is not the general rule among public
men, but there is evidently at the present
time a growing number Of those who are
willing to make such a declaration. The
fact Is significant in connection with the
wave of prohibition which is now sweep
ing over the whole Southern section of
the country.

Japan Wants Peace, Says Secretary Taft.


Secretary of War William H. Taft
arrived in New York city Friday on the
IIamburg-American line steamship, Pres
ident Grant, after a globe circling trip
of little over four months He was ac-
companied by his wife and son. He
visited the Philippines and Japan, where
he was received by the Mikado, traversed
Asia by way of the trans Siberian rail-
way and at st. Petersburg visited the
Car, but his only object in making the
trip was an inspection of the Philippines.
lie found conditions in the islands much
better than he hoped for. He helped in
augurate the Philippine assembly, and
he says its tendency to conservatism de-
spite its supposed radical majority, is
very gratifying. Regarding relations with
Japan he says:
"The Japanese people are strongly in
favor of peace I can speak with empha-
sis and authority on this subject. The
trade relations between Japan and the
United States are strong factors making
for peace between the two nations. OF
Japan's yearly export of about $3.50, 900, =
900 more than one-third comes to the
United States. Most of their exports to
this country consist Of art goods, lace
and embroideries and this trade provides
livelihood to a great number of small
traders in Japan. This. If nothing else,
would be potent reason for Japan to
avoid anything approaching hostility to
this country. We in turn ship vast guam
titles of oil, flour and other commodities
to Japan This sort of trade is a great
pacificator."
