Minors, wage In Germany.

AAAmS2g wages IN Gef1M@Mys
Some years ago the miners Of the
Ruhr coal district, one Of the most
extensive in the German empire, suf.
fered q reduction In pay and within
the past year have succeeded in getting
even better rates than those prevailing
in 1900. the period Of high wages. Con-
ditions are still unsettled, however,
according to a recent statement from
United States Consul Dunlap of Co
logne.
Owing to the high prices for coal the
official reports regarding wages OF
miners in the Ruhr district for the
third quarter Of 1907 were awaited
with considerable expectancy. there be-
ing close connection between the wages
paid miners and the prices at which
the product Is sold. To the pub
lie demands for q reduction in the
price Of coal the mine owners reply
that It Is impossible, owing to the high
wages paid miners, which are still In
creaslng. Besides that the new laws
regulating the payment Of sick benefits
and pensions to disabled miners and
their families viii, even II rejected by
the miners, considerably increase the
expense to the mine owners by many
million marks. At the recent meeting
OF the national miners congress in
Berlin the leaders OF the miners I'M
ions in tho Ruhr district complained
Of much want and misery among their
members.
The German miners last year earned
approximately $3.50 a day and other
workers In the mines about 81. These
rates were an increase over those Of
1903 Of about 20 per cent for miners;
20 per cent for other workers under
ground and IA per cent for laborers.
German mine workers are required
to pay large sums for the purpose OF
invalid and accident insurance. To
these funds the mine owner is required
by law to contribute as much or more
Taking these facts into consideration
and also the fact that the new law reg
ulating these funds will ada nearly
s2,500,000 to the expenses Of the mine
owners in this district, an increase in
the cost Of fuel to the consumer Is
most probable
The number Of adult employees in
the Ruhr district increased during the
second and third quarters OF 1907 from
2sa, $50 to 202,8O0.

BLOWING HOT AIR
Volcano Threatens 10 Wipe Out
Guatemala Town.

EOlcanO threatens 10 wipe Out
Guatemala Town.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 31.-
News was brought today by steamer
of the active eruption of a supposedly
extinct volcano in Guatemala, at the
base of which is the town OF San
Felipe.
This volcano Is opposite Santa
Maria, the volcano which recently
wiped out town after town. 1t be-
gan to rumble and belch smoke a
few weeks ago, and is now In COM
plete eruption. The residents Of
Quezaltenango, the nearest town on
the mountainside. anticipate flow OF
lava that will wipe out their town.
Mark Edison, who brought the news,
says:
THE first signs of the volcano
were the usual deep rumbles and I'M
steady feeling of the earth, and we all
looked for another eruption from
Santa Maria. Several days of sudden
commissions of the earth were fol-
lowed by complete stiffness, and that
old, extinct volcano, which no one
suspected of any life, shot out a mag
nificent stream of smoke and fire,
and the lake in it's crater turned to
clouds of steam that scattered out
umbrella-shape, several thousand
feet in the air. The streams of lava
flowing outside the cone were omi-
nous when | left, and signs were for
a tremendous eruption"

100000 MINERS OUT OF WORK
Contracts in Middle West Expire
Lay Down Tools.

Lay Down Tools.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March al
The union miners of the fields of the
country will lay down their picks and
shovels tonight. Almost 100000 of
them will stop work in Ohio, western
Pennsylvania, Missouri, Iowa, Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, and
probably in Indiana, Illinois, Michi-
gan and West Virginia.
The mining contracts under which
they are now working expire at mid
night and except in central Pennsyl-
vania and in the Indiana block dis
trict no contracts have been ma lie,
nor have the miners and operators
entered into distinct agreements pro-
viding for operation of the mines
after April l, pending agreement.
Technically the miners will not go
out on strike. but in reality they stop
work because the operators, except
in Indiana and Illinois, show no real
intention of meeting and treating
with them, though no question of
wages or principle is at stake.

Recently the state department at
Washington declared officially that the
United States dlssents from Russia's
well known views as to the criminali-
" Of those OF her subjects who have
or may become American citizens and
the right Of the car to punish them
when caught on Russian soil without
his express permission. This IL a de-
cislon following upon another OF the
came purport which has aroused pro
test In this country. Nearly q year ago
the state department issued q circular
to the effect that It would not tissue
passports to former Russian subjects
or to jews who intend going into Rus
elan territory unless II has assurance
that the Russian government win con-
sent to their admission" This cir
cular further explained that a pass
port under such circumstances was u
document tending to mlslead the holder
since It does not really protect from
hardship and even imprisonment.
IN the recent note dissenting from
the Russian view the secretary OF state
added the warning that "an American
citizen formerly a subject Of Russia
who returns to that country places
himself within the Jurisdiction of the
Russian law aud cannot expect Inn
munity from it's operations" It b
made clear that the applicants for the
passports take all tho risk as to wheth-
or their return win be assented to by
Russia. There seems to be- clash
here between the International and the
domestic law, and It win not be set
tied until there Is a naturalization

Different Parties Selecting Delegates
TO Convention.
NEW YORK, March 81. Pri-
maries of the republican. democratic,
Independence league, prohibition and
socialist parties are being held this
afternoon throughout New York
state. The primary polling places
were opened at o'clock and will re-
main open until Q. Delegates will
be elected to the assembly district
conventions, those of the democrats
to be held In this county on April 8,
while the conventions of the repub-
licans will be held on April z. The
republican state convention will be
held April IL, in Carnegie hall, and
the democratic state convention on
April IA, at the same place. The
state convention of Hearst's party,
the independence league, will be held
here on May 2.
Greatest interest in today's pri-
maries centers In the attempt former
Governor odelI has been making in
this city to wrest the control of the
local republican organization from
Herbert Parsons. Followers of Par
sons are attempting to rally local
leaders against the intrusion of the
Newburg politician. with prospects of
success. Efforts to elect true Hughes
delegates at the primaries in the
Twenty-ninth assembly district have
precipitated bitter fight between
the Hammond-Parsons faction and
the men who want the delegates to
be for Hughes from start to finish.
All is apparently peaceful in the
democratic camp, with Tammany in
full control of the situation. Leader
Murphy has gone on record for an
uninstructed delegation to the Dem
yer convention. and the delegates Sc
leeted in today's primaries will prob
ably reflect his sentiment

RAISE RACE STANDARD

Hhinehl sCieHlibtb nave discovered
the fact that the X-ray will sterilize
the germ of life and make reproduc-
ton impossible in the individual.
From sociological and physiological
points Of view the discovery may
prove one of the greatest boons ever
given TO humanity. Its use may be
abused, as are many other great
things which benefit the race, but the
good resulting from this discovery
will prove to be one OF the most Inn
portant advances the human race has
made In the past hundred years.
We may place the greatest possible
emphasis on the value OF moral train
ing and accept all the good that
comes from II In lessening crime and
immortality, and II 10 at present one
of the greatest factors In preserving
the better side of life--but the fact
remains that heredity in forming the
character OF the man or woman Is q
greater controlling element than all
else. That like breeds like, physical
~ and mentally, is settled beyond dis
pute and Is one of the accepted facts
OF science today. This being true,
criminals and degenerates may be ex-
pected to reproduce criminals and de-
generates. and persons tainted with
insanity or physical defects will give
life TO a progeny similarly endowed,
Is just as certain as airy ether Inn
mutable law OF nature. With the
knowledge OF the power OF the X-ray
to Htefilise the life germ of the ami
NAL II properly applied. and safe
guarded under strict laws, there IL no
reason why the criminal class. the
weak-minded and the physically de-
fectiye specimens Of humanity may
not In the course OF few generations
be reduced 70 q minimum. Combined
with the proper moral training, race
OF people may be produced so supe-
rior to the present that one can not
grasp the vastness OF the change.
This method OF raising the stand
ard OF the human race Is the subject
OF most careful investigation by emil
nent scientists and may appear to
some as revolutionary and In conflict
with old ideas OF preserving morality;
but 4 comes in an age OF the world
when many old theories and practices
have been upset by modern thought
and study. No doubt II win be COM
bated by many who believe In moral
code as the only sound doctrine, but II
further investigation proves it's prae-
ticabillty, prejudice and superstition
must give way to this new advance
ment IN science, Many idols have
fallen In the past nifty years and
many more are doomed to the same
fate as a result OF modern research.
We believe the time win come when
the race Is to BIO raised higher In the
scale, both mentally and physically.
BY the application OF this or some
other practical method to prevent the
propagation of criminals and mental
and physical degenerates. It can not
come too soon to save the race from
decay.
