Even to wild animals these urmans

exposed.
"In many cases the remains are so
fresh and well preserved with their
dark, shaggy hair and underwood of

long, curved tusks, that all the abo-

ENGLAND TO STOP USE
OF WHITE PHOSPHORUS.

After many years of agitation the use
of the deadly white PHOSPHORUS in the
manufacture of matches is soon 10 be
prohibited, says the London Chronicle.
A bill, backed by Herbert .Glads,o ie
and Herbert Samuel, with this object
In view was introduced in the House
of Commons last week. and full err de-
tails of the measure, VIII CHI was issued
from the printers Saturday. will give
satisfaction to the thousands of people
employed in this dangerous trade.
The governments action is the in
direct result of the Berne labor confer
ence of September, 1906, when repre-
sentatives of France, Germany, Italy,
Holland, Denmark and Switzerland
consented to the prohibition, Great
Britain then withholding her agree
ment. AS the outcom of a %consulta-
ton with the manufacturers the pro-
moters of the bill now before Parlia-
ment have made it possible for less
dangerous substitutes for white phos-
phorous which are protected by pat
ents to be obtained on reasonable terms
by all manufacturers.
The use of the poisonous white phos-
phorus is. not necessary In the business
OF matchmaking. It's employment,
moreover, is highly dangerous to the
work-people, for II gives rise to the
painful disease of necrosis Of the jaw,
commonly known as "phossy jaw"
This disease has much the same effect
on those attacked by II as that of lep-
rosy, ard II works the same horrible
ravages on the taoe and bands.
The bin, if II passes into law, will
not only forbid the use of white phos-
phorus in the manufacture of matches,
but will also make it illegal for any one
70 sell or import matches In the max
ing of which white phosphorus has
been used.

Unless the average woman is a

up these children sound in soul and

of the average woman, no brilliancy

to the woman who does her duty.
But the woman who shirks her du-
ty as wife and mother is Just as
heartily to be condemned. We de-

the soldier who fiinches In battle.
A good woman who does full du-

the brave and patriotic soldier Is to
be honored above all other men. But
the woman who, whether from cow
ardice, from selfishness, from having
a false and vacuous ideal, shirks her
duty as wife and mother, earns the
right to our contempt, just as the

The results of Tuesdays elections
in the communities in this state
where the local option, statute was
taken advantage of was neither rev.
olutionary nor reactionary. 1t was
what might have been expected from
people who are law abiding, pros
porous and skilled in self govern
ment and who, in the matter of
"isms," cut their wisdom teeth quite
a while ago. No wave" was notice
able. Where the saloon had en-
croached upon the home the voters
took steps to put it down; where it
had kept its distance it was permit
ted to exist. There was very little
attempt at hypocrisy. To abolish
saloon and resort to the drug store
so-called or to the blind pig is not
reform. If city or town can exist
honestly without the public sale of
liquor, well and good; If 1t cannot.
and few commercial centers do so,
it is better to be above board.
Next month Denver will have op-
portunity to vote on the question;
but whether that vote will count,
owing to the Rush bill vagaries, will
be for the courts to determine, and
courts, as Dooley remarked, follow
the election returns. At all events
the people in this city will act very
much as the people outside have
done-they will vote to keep the
saloon within proper bounds.-Den-
yer Republican.
