INDUSTRIAL SLAUGHTER.

The cheapness with which life is
held in furthering the industrial
growth and expansion of the country
is succinctly told in a recent report
from the labor bureau at Washington,
which reveals mortality from acct
dents among adult wage-earners in the
United States during 1908 of between
10000 and $4,000, and approximately
100000 non-fatal accidents.
Risks are involved in almost every
industry. That in some is much great
er than others. The accident rate
among electricians, for instance, is
excessive. A very few statistics will
show that the United States has fallen
far behind her European cousins in
safeguarding her workers. The fatal
accident rate among coal miners in
this country is $40 per 1000, as COM
pared with 1.29 in the United King
dom. In the railroad field the United
States lost ESQ per 1000, whereas the
rate in Germany was only .9S per
1000
How fer the carelessness and con-
tril ltory negligence and recklessness
of the workmen are responsible for
this astounding accident rate it is i'm
possible to state. 1t is likewise i'm
possible to fix the measure of respon-
sibility that rests upon the employer
because of his failure to install de-
vices for the prevention of accidents
and to compel exact obedience to or
ders and regulations intended to pre-
vent fatalities.

Mems Democratic club was one of the
best attended in the history of the
organization. Reports of various COM

Gently elected is to take place on the

ary. Hubert Pontius will be the in
stalling officer.

SENATE MAY PROBE
OLD BRIBERY CHARGES

Columbus, Jan. 1.-THE general
assembly in all probability will be
asked to appoint committee to in
vestigate the charges and counter
charges made last summer by Sen
ator T. A. Dean, of Fremont, and
former Senator ]. C. Drake, of Erie,
against each other in connection with
an alleged attempt to bribe senator's
before the vote on the Rose county
local option bill.
1t was said on good authority that
the request to investigate might be
made by Senator Dean himself. For
mer Senator Atwell is said to have
expressed a desire that the legisla-
ture take hand in the controversy.
If the investigation is not started
by the senate, then prominent
member of the house will take the
initiative to have the assembly take
action. He is now preparing reso-
luton of investigation. His conten-
ton is that the charges made last
summer reflect on the regulations of
the whole legislature and that in self
protection the legislature should act.
The first charge was made by
Senator Dean. He accused Drake
of having suggested to him in Leach
mans chop house during the fight
on the Rose bill that money could

So-called paper labor of Europe, mere

who are wholly untitled for the kind

here and for our vastly different stand

Shoe clerks and others who blazon
to the world the fact of their endeavor
to live as Christ did will gain little
by the effort save little brief motor
iety. Their purpose is commendable
enough. There is no better model of
right living than Jesus of Nazareth.
His life was as near perfection as a
life on this earth could be. But Jesus
did not publish his good intentions
in the newspapers. He went about,
quietly and modestly, doing good for
evil, healing the sick and comforting
the fatherless. Beating the timbrel
and sounding the hewgag is not emu
lation Of the Christ. The best emu
lation is that attained with the soft
pedal on.-Pittsburg Post.
