SACRIFICE OF WoRKMEN

r ETWEEN 10000 and $4,000 workmen year
- " are killed in accidents in this country,
according to an exhaustive report on this subject
by the Bureau of Labor issued today. This is an
appalling record.

show that out Of over 100000 deaths OF males,
more than per cent. were due to accident A
large proportion of these deaths are due 10

the injured persons
In the anthracite mines of Pennsylvania, dur

fatal accidents for every 1000 men employed
The death rate from accident in the British coal
mines is only T.2o per 1000
Reports of the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion have shown that during ten years, I6So5
railway tfanmen lost their lives in accidents
equivalent to 7.46 deaths per 1000 employees.

QUEER DIVORCE SUGGESTION.

IT lie divorce agitation has taken queer turn
4 in Lynn, Mass. In the New England city
a movement has been started to assist couples in
securing divorces and to make easy the path Of
those who seek a separation Of the marriage
bonds
The Lynn social philosophers believe that the
number of divorces is small because many poor
persons have not the money necessary to obtain
divorces. They intend to hold festivals and en-
tertainments, sock socials pie carnivals, broom
stick banquets, with possibly a tag day now and
then in order to secure money which will be de-
voted to a general fund for distribution among
worthy asprants for divorce The general drec-
tor of this movement is convinced that the misery
OF the world is caused by marriage and. there
fore, intends to bring happiness through divorce
Cupid is to be dethroned That any rich man
will endow the new society is improbable, and the
organization is not likely to be extended through
out the country. But it shows with what levity
some light-headed persons regard what should be
a sacred matter.

RoosEVELT's EYE ON CONGRESS.

MO WONDER that august body the lower
branch of Congress in Washington is
perturbed by the intmation in the Presidents
message that sleuths have been on the trail of
some members of Congress. The President said
Just enough to set the congressman on edge. The
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt can always be depend
ed upon TO furnish a sensation of some sort The
lions and elephants in Africa will know that
something is coming their way when the Presi-
dent invades the African iungles.
Has the President really been keeping tabs
on the representatives to learn what they have
been doing7 If so, has the President their records
marked down.?
Does Roosevelt know which congressman is
under the thumb of the railroad OF his district,
or which congressman is the mere servant OF
other special interests? Has the President also
been inquiring into the habits of these congress
men? Nowadays especially when the temper
ance agitation is alive in most parts OF the coun-
try. congressman must walk circumspectly an
swer all sorts of questions pertinent or imperti-
nent that may be fred at them by agitators. The
representatives must give records of themselves
, Is the congressman who is saint at home a sim
ner in Washington? And will the Roosevelt con
gressional spies inform the President of these
facts?
In truth Il looks as if the President, besides
taking twelve mile walks in the country, dodgng
bicvcles fire engines and automobiles calling
men liars writing twenty thousand word mes
sages, has been doing various other stunts
which arc without precedent in presidential ms
tory.
However the uneasy congressman may take rel
uge under the broad mantle of free and easy po-
htical life as illustrated by Uncle Joe" Cannon,
the speaker Of the House. Uncle Joe does not
profess to be a saint. He is just one OF the old
fashioned public men living in a new age. Frank
ness is one of his characteristics
"Uncle Joe with all the church people the
labor people and the Democrats in his district
against him, came up smiling at the election with
big majority. At least Uncle Joe was sup
posed TO have had these forces opposed to him
at the election, but the opposition of many OF
them vanished when they went into the polling
places. 80
At any rate, the congressman are sitting like
disturbed schoolboys in their seats wondering
whether the frowning teacher will apply the rod
The teacher is smiling TO himself.

A large school Of physicians which
is constantly increasing, claims that
the eating OF too much animal foods

liable part of our food and are abso-

Giving Is Getting.

The old proverb-writer uttered a
great truth when he said that there
was a giving that tended to increase
and a Withholding that tended to
poverty. Giving and receiving are
not two different things; the one
means the other. There is, in the
divine economy, a great principle of
exchange by which giving and receiv-
ing are coincident. Especially is this
principle operative In the moral and
spiritual realm.
The most significant thing in life
and development is hospitality. We
open the doors of III heart and life
to ennobling and inspiring visitors.
We give of our capacity; but how
much more do we get. God asks
us to give our hearts. We do so and
how much more we get. Jesus
Christ asks us to give Him a place
in our life. We give it, but the re-
suit is not a giving after all so much
as it is a getting.
Be hospitable then. Be hospitable
to all the divine influences of life,
and let it not be a narrow, ~grudging
hospitality. Be hospitable to God;
to Jesus Christ. Give Them your
best rooms. Let Them be your guests,
and They will give you Themselves
in return.
Giving is getting, and the greater
the investment the greater the re-
turn.-Rev. G. S. Macfarland, in
Christian Work and Evangelist.

at Dubuque (Iowa) Home.

Dubuque; Iowa.-United States
Senator w. B.. Allison died at his
home here after suffering for two
weeks from a prostate enlargement
complicated with a disease of the kid
ney. He died in a period of uncon-
seriousness.
He went to Congress in 1863, hav-
ing been elected for the first time in
the preceding fall. For forty-three
of the succeeding forty-fve years he
has been a mar to be reckoned with
at Washington, D. G.
He was born in a log cabin in Perry,
Wayne County, Ohio, on March 2,
1929. The son of d pioneer farmer,
he had a hard struggle for an eduea-
ton; earning himself the money
which took him through Allegheny
and Western Reserve Colleges, en-
ploying the familiar method of teach
Ing school which has enabled so many
members of Congress to get their
start in life. He was admitted to the
bar In 1851 and soon afterward went
to Iowa and settled at Dubuque, ever
afterward his home. He had been in
politics in Ohio, and kept in them In
Iowa. An Ohio birth and an Iowa
training give a nan an exceptional
advantage in the game of politics.

body of Ellsworth Mutt, a Waterman
On that structure, was found. Mutt
had grown respondent through suf-
fering from an incurable disease.
Realizing he could not live many
months, he decided to commit suicide.
When supposed to be on duty, he
went to the ocean end of the pier.
Climbing forty feet up the fiagpole,
he fitted his head in a moose and let
himself hang free. He was missed
by his companion Waterman, who
started a search for him. Though the
body was warm when found it WIS
too late for the physician who was
called to be of any service. Mutt had
been employed many years as a
Waterman. He left a wife and two

CUMMINs A CANDIDATE.
Cuts Short His Vacation and Win
Confer With Political Friends.

Lake Forest, 1ll.-'1 shall certain
ly make an effort to succeed Senator
Allison," said Governor Cummins,
when he was told of the Senator's
death and asked concerning his polit-
ical intentions. He refused, however,
to say what he would do regarding
the Senatorship during the %unexpired
portion of Senator A1lison's term,
which ends on March 4, 1908. Gov
ernor Cummins will cut short his va
cation and return to Des Moines.
The death of Allison is a hard blow
to the "Old Guard" which had al
ready begun to lose its dominating
influence in the Senate.
Allison's place will undoubtedly be
filled first by the appointment and
then by the election of Governor
Cummins, who is another radical, and
opposed to much If not all that the
other remaining members of the "Old
Guard" stand for. 1t is the begin
ming of the greatest change that has
taken place in the Senate in many
years.
