Motor pangers In Great prltaIn.

Motor Dangers In Great Britain.
The record Of motor accidents and
prosecutions In Great Britain in April
Of this year Ia instructive, Compare
son with the record OF 1907 shows an
alarming increase Of accidents ana
casualties. In 1907 there were ffty-
eight accidents, resulting in the kill
ing Of sixteen persons and the maim-
Ing Of twenty-eight others, during the
month OF April. This year the acci-
dents jumped to seventy-nlne, while
the casualties numbered twenty-five
killed and forty-nine injured. Thus
the months casualties year ago were
forty-four in fifty-elght accidents and
this year seventy-four In seventy.nine
accidents.
On the other hand. the prosecutions
this year were made with more yigor
and indicate that the British local au-
thoritles are becoming concerned over
the increasing number OF accidents.
In April. 1907, there were 1853 cita-
lions before the courts and 141 con-
victions and this year for the same
month $40 citations leading to 201
convictions, Convictions for exceed
Ing the speed limit were only seventy
four for the month in 1907 and els
this year. While motoring was inau-
gurated In France. the craze soon
spread across the channel, and II mo-
torIsts ever learn anything except at
the point of the bayonet the Britons
should DO well ON the way to sane
motoring by this time and able to give
"those crude Americans" points. Evil
IDENTIFY they cannot teach us anything
beyond the lesson we've already learned
that Is. that strlcter laws vigorously
enforced WIN be needed wherever the
motoring craze gets a hold In order to
protect the public from dangers which
profit nobody.

Organized Rescuo work In nIinoss
Since the terrible colliery explosions
u the last couple Of years In Europe
and the United States q public de-
nand has been awakened for some
kind Of organized rescue work similar
to the life saving corps OF the coasts.
Recently Consul Blake Of Dunferm-
line, Scotland. reviEssd the progress
for safer mining methods in England
and on the contiireat. In Austria.
France and Russia the provision Of
rescue apparatus by mine owners Is
compulsory. In Germany IT is option
al, but has been voluntarily adopted.
In every colIiery OF Russia there must
be a trained corps OF rescuers equiva-
lent to per cent OF the miners en-
ployed.
Consul Blake reports that the Eng
fish are considering the question Of
making rescue work compulsory, but
the authorities are undecided as to the
best methods. In fact, It Is conceded
that the apparatus for life saving
after explosions IL far from perfect.
One appliance is a tube worn about
the chest, which regenerates the air
after 1t has been breathed, and 1t il
said to be trustworthy for about two
hours. The tube Is not adapted for
laborious exertion. and a helmet oper-
ated on the principle of the diving
helmet Is preferred by miners engaged
In heavy work, The helmet Is unsafe
for distance over 200 yards from the
fresh air intake. The ideal apparatus
should be light in weight, air tight and
have capacity for dependable supply
Of oxygen. So far all Of these fea-
lures are not claimed for any one APP
paratus Invented.
Second only In Importance to per
feet breathing apparatus for miners
buried by explosion is trained corps
Of rescuers. In England and Scotland
rescue stations are being organized to
train Golfers In the work Of rescue.
II has been suggested by mine owners
that a central rescue station be estab-
Ilshed in every mining district and
equipped with sufficient apparatus
kept ready for use and that at least
ave sets Of appliances be kept at each
colllery Of the district. The central
station will be In charge Of experts,
and each separate colliery will main
tain a corps Of at least thirty trained
rescuers, who shall know every part
OF the mine and understand the use Of
the rescue appliances. Each colliery
will have telephone to the central
rescue station. As men generally live
for a considerable time after an OK
ploslon, the use Of breathing appa-
ratus, If promptly set to work, may
aid In restoring ventilation and be the
means OF saving life.

The newspaper that announces It's
allegiance and subservient support of
q party ticket, because 1t Is branded
with the name OF Its party, simply
becomes the tool of the designing
politicians for him to use as he sees
at, regardless of the interests of the
people. Nationally the Press is demo-
cratic so long as the party stands
for the principles which 1t advocates,
because there is no danger OF any
party nominating a man for the high
est Office In the land unfess he is
honorable and competent. In state,
and especially in county politics, we
would support no man simply because
he wore the party brand We believe
that party should not be the test
by which candidates for county
Office are measured and in this re-
apect the Press Is independent lit Is
an Independent democratic paper. Ii
may, or It may not, support all OF
a part Of any county ticket. That Is
a right which We will exercise ac-
eording to our own judgment, The
most honorable and competent men
should be elected TO the county
Offices. II they are republicans OF
democrats II does not matter so much
to the people, OF ooure, the parti,
cans will also give the organ good
feed at the public crib, and yet Il
may boast that 1t Is not aotuateC
by mercenary motives.

FLOOD DANGER AT
Pine BLUFF over
Dynamiting Of Opposite Bank
Relieved Situation.

Pine Bluff, Ark, Dec. 4.-As the
north bank of the Arkansas river, op-
posite Pine Bluff, which was dyna-
mited, continues to cave, DETECTING
the current Of the swollen river fur
Their south and away from the most
impaired portion of the levee, which
borders the business section of this
city, the situation here continues to
improve and the danger of a serious
overflow and the engulfng of many
valuable buildings, as was anticipat-
ed, is fast decreasing.
The river has reached the flood
stage of 25 feet, and no further cav
ing has occurred here, the willow
fascines distributed at the most
weakened points proving effective
barriers to the encroachment of the
water, which is rapidly diminishing
in force. The two most endangered
buildings, the Jefferson county court
house and hotel, which stand almost
on the brink of the stream, are now
believed to be safe. 1t is probable
that additional dynamiting may be
attempted and, if successful, the
main current of the river will leave
Pine Bluff entirely.

TARIFF HEARING
Committee Sets December 10, as
Closing Date-Result In
satisfactory.

Washington, Dec. 4. = The house
committee on ways and means has
decided to continue the tariff hear
ings until Dec. 10.
Chairman Payne was authorized to
offer a resolution in the house when
congress convenes on Monday which
will give the committee authority to
subpoena witnesses for these supple
mentary hearings. 1t has been the
desire of the committee to get GER
tain people to come before it and
give any information they may have
which would be of value in framing a
new tariff law. 1t has also been
found that the testimony obtained at
the hearings during the past few
weeks has not been altogether salts
factory.
This is the last day Of the original
schedule of hearings, but tomorrow
Herbert Miles, chairman of the tariff
committee of the national Associa-
tion of Manufacturers, will appear
before the committee Other wit.
nesses also are expected to appear
tomorrow, and on Monday there will
be supplementary hearing on the
lead schedule. The other hearings
will be on days designated by Chair
man Payne. 1t is believed that hear
ings will be held occasionally through
out the short session of congress.
The committee will begin the con.
sideration of the new tariff bill as
soon as the record of the hearings
held up to this time has been printed.
A separate record of the supplement.
tary hearings will be made Briefs
may be filed by parties interested any
time before Dec. 10. Chairman Payne
was asked if there was any likelihood
Of tariff bill being reported by the
committee at the short session of
congress. He replied that it was not
probable; that the Dingley bill was
prepared by the committee of the re.
firing congress and was reported on
the first day of the special session of
congress by the new ways and means
committee. Mr.. Payne would not say
what witnesses would be summoned
IL the power to subpoena is granted
but it is generally understood that J.
w. Van CIeave, president of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
will be one Of the most important.

DELEGATES GET
DOWN TO WORK
Bishop Hendrix Presides at Federal
C0uncil-ReS0Iution
Debated.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. with q
unanimity Of action that went far be-
yond the expectations of the leading
spirits in the movement for unity Of
church action, the federal council Of
the Churches of Christ in America
began its business sessions. The or
ganization of the council was prac-
tically completed and the delegates,
of whom there are more than 400,
representing 33 denominations, with
a membership of about $4,000, 600,
have entered upon the real work Of
the council. Bishop E. r. Hendrix,
d. d., of Kansas City, Mo-, of the
Methodist Episcopal church South,
was honored with the presidency Of
the federal council by a unanimous
vote of the delegates.
Two reports of committees were
taken up and disposed of, one Of
them after an interesting debate.
This report related to the co-opera-
ton of AL the churches in the foreign
mission fields and was presented by
the Rev. James L. Barton of Boston,
Congregationalist, together with five
resolutions, one of which favored the
closest possible federation of all
Christian churches in foreign mission
fields, and "the elimination of denom-
national distinctions" Bishop Hoss
of Nashville of the Methodist Episco-
pal church South attacked the reso-
luton in a vigorous speech. We
may have too many denominations"
he said, ''but who is going to cancel
them? Unity is good, but liberty is
BETTER
After discussion the reference to
the elimination Of UNCONVENTIONAL
distinctions was stricken out and the
resolution was adopted.
Another resolution adopted ap-
proves the union Of educational in
situations in mission countries wher-
ever practicable in which teachers
and students Of various denomina-
lions shall have equal privileges.
The other report considered con-
tanned resolutions recommending CO.
operation work along special lines of
Christian effort in inter-denomina-
tional organizations, ali Of which
were adopted without discussion.
Besides the naming of Bishop Hen
dirk as president, the following off,
GERS were elected: Permanent re-
cording secretary, Rev. DIR. Riving-
ton D. Lord, Brooklyn, Free Baptist;

United States Treasurer Says Ex-

united States Treasurer Says Ex-
penditures Increase Too Rapidly.
Washington, Dec. 4.-Charles H.
Treat, treasurer of the United States,
In his annual report, calls attention
to the fact that owing to the disturb
ed relations between the income and
outgo of the government, there was
a deficiency last year of $5S,07O, POI
as against surplus for the preced-
ing year of $84 $50 and points out
that the total revenues for 1898 ex-
ceeded any preceding fiscal year ex-
cept 1907. Treasurer Treat points out
that thus it is apparent that the trou-
BILE is not in decreasing receipts, but
in increasing expenditures, which sit
uation the treasury was able to meet
with the excess of revenues which
had accumulated during the previous
years.
