ported that there has been no improve
ment to speak of in the steel business since
the period of greatest depression in De-
cember. and also that the export trade

nothing will prevent Texas from
sending a solid Bryan delegation

Senators from that state from pre-
dieting that ultimately the Louis

The result of the Massachusetts,
primaries is regarded here as a VIC
tory for Secretary Taft who will
receive at least twenty-five out of
the thirty-two votes cast by the
Massachusetts, delegation. OF course
the methods employed in Massa-
chusetts leave some ground for Jug
Cling with the facts and the anti
Taft crowd will, perhaps, continue
to claim nearly all tie delegation,
but there is no ground for the
claim. OF the district delegates
twenty are pledged, informally, to
vote for Taft, although they will
not be instructed, and two of the
delegates at large will do the same.
The breaking of the solid Illinois
delegation by the instruction of
two delegates for Taft has proved a
severe blow to Speaker Cannon and
III. old man he is already 72-looks
ten years older since he has known
that he cannot get the solid delega-
ton from his state. The result has
been to make him unusually testy
as many members can testify to
their sorrow, for the Speaker is
killing bills right and left as if to
relieve his feelings. He has even
"Scotched" the antitrust amend
ment which the President is so an
xious to have enacted, and the
White Mountain Forest Reserve
bill has received its coup de grace
from Mr.. Cannon.

Investigation Will Be Made.

The appalling loss of lite in the
coal mines of this country is to be
stopped if the government of the
United States can accomplish it.
Congress voted an appropriation
of $Io5, 900 for the purpose of con-
Quoting Investigations to ascertain
the cause of mine explosions, and
once the case is found, the means
of preventing them is easy.
Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania,
insisted that this investigation must
not be confined to the territories as
was first proposed. but that the
government expert in seeking in
formation must have an unlimited
field. 1t was contended that the
amendment of the Pennsylvania
Senator was an invasion of state
rights, but Mr.. Knox denies this.
He argues that the federal govern
ment had right to gather informa-
ton anyw here it pleases. Said he:
The loss of life and accidents in
the United States far exceeds those
of any other country where the
mining industry is being conduct
ed. This proposed investigation is
for the purpose of allowing the
hundreds of thousands OF men who
toll in the darkness beneath the
surface of the earth to get the be-
nefit of all the protection that all
the knowledge gathered from all
possible sources will furnish"
Senator Knox's proposition was
adopted and the result will be a
broad. thorough investigation by
government experts that will bring
about the adoption of safety meth
DDS in mining that will save thou
sands of lives and millions Of prop
erty.
