SENATOR GEORGE s. NIXON is a forehanded little If he has

Senator George has antagonz ed the powers that be, or a pow.

Nixon saw it coming and has started his campaign for denomination

INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS
ACCORDING to a bulletin of the Department of Commerce and La
Dor, from 10000 to $4,000 workmen lose their lives by accident in the
United States sin the course of a year. This is an awful tribute to pa
in human flesh and blood. This country is making great strides along
the path of progress. and in the hurry and hustle of everyday life the
average American is usually careless of consequences and frequently not
only imperrs his W life but the lives Of others as well. Then, too, en-
ployers in the struggle to amass great wealth only too frequently fail to
safeguard their employees against accidents which could be avoided. A
per authorities.
Outside of the accidents which result fatally, a vast army of work
men re manned and crippled each year, entaiing o and suffering
upon their families. Europe is fr ahead of this country in the matter
of preventing accidents. and it is high time a era of reform was started
y here.
THE MUIR GLACIER is eight miles shorter than 1t a forty years
ago. The celebrated Professor Da wilson is much impressed with the
general retreat of the glaciers in laska nd the diminuion of the
falls since his first visit forty years ago.
The international committee o n glaciers reports ninetysix glaciers
observed in 1907, and Of these sevenynine are retreating. Several of
the smaller glaciers in the French AIS have disappeared and others re
diminishing. Considering this the New York Sun says: The pendulum
will swing back some day and we shall hear OF greater snowfall and
advancing ice rivers"
Possibly that is true. and possibly the glaciers have about finished
their work. They have ground down mountains and made soil for flu
ture generations. and there is a coincident in the fc that just when
they are disappearing in Alaska the mn Of that territory are extending
their researches for gold every year, and other lei are beginning to Gull

they ian raise good crops of cereals and vegetables. Maybe the ga-
cers have about finished their work. ~
Then another feature about the statement gives Is an idea that in
twenty years from 0 the men of Alaska will be a distinct race. Men
take on their surroundings. There is as much difference between a
Montana man and a Southern California mn as there is between a
Engishman and a Italian. Climate affects mel nor than many Of IS

who are middleaged 20 will live to see a railroad cross the Boring
Straits. either above or under the water. and go down Though Siberia
to a connection with the Siberian transconunental road Within the
next twenty-five years it will get to be the fashion with Eastern po
pie 10 make a trip around the world via Boring Straits.
The whole world has changed and possibly the time is drawing e
when by the steady drain through the rivers Of the soil o. the world to
the south, there will come a time when the weight of the Southern
Hemisphere will overcome that of the Northern. Then the old world
Will tip again IN its axis. All animal life will be destroyed. After a
while a new race will spring up and the biologists Of that race will try
to estimate at what time the last geological period came upon earth.
THE Rev. Mr.. wilkins of Msso ui says that clergymen are idoized
at thirty. criticised at forty, ostracised at fifty, osierzed at sixty. and,
perhaps canonized at seventy. Aft that they re goriehed.
