\ IT'S effort to stop the appalling
loss of life in the coal mines of
the country, the United States
government is meeting with
much success. For several
months an experiment station,

nologic branch of the United
States geological survey, has

explosives used in mining the miner takes his
life in his hand every time he touches off fuse.
1t is the purpose of the government to continue
these experiments until the explosives of the
country standardized in such a manner that
the miner will have definite idea what these ex-
plosives will do.
After the government has gone far enough in
its experiments, a bulletin will be issued recon-
mending as permissible explosives such as stand
the test. The facts learned concerning these en-
p!osives will be called directly to the attention
of the state mining bureaus as well as the oper-
ators.
Perhaps the most important and far-reaching
experiments far at the station those in
which it has been definitely shown that coal dust
is an explosive equally as dangerous as the dead
ly fire damp. This has been a mooted question
among mining engineers and miners alike, both
insisting that it is impossible to explode coal dust
unless there is gas present. That the coal dust
will explode in the mine where there is no gas
has been repeatedly shown to several hundred
operators and miners at the testing station. The
OK crts at the station bending their

explosions took the lives of 700 men,
one of them-at the Monongah mine
in West Virginia-being the greatest
mining disaster in the history of this
country. There We're 356 victims.
During 1908, there We're but two acct
dents in which the loss of life was
very heavy; one in January at the
Hanna mine, in Wyoming, with loss
of 10 men; the other, November 20,
at the Marianne mine in Pennsylvania,
which resulted in 154 deaths.
Already at the experiment station
two discoveries have been made
which will tend to decrease the num-

No COST TO TAXPAYER
Osborne Defends Legislature on
Free Tunkets,


(Rrx Osborne, in Boise Statesman
| hear an occasional mu'mer Of pro
test from ye taxpayer because every
Idaho legislature "fritt away 80
much time" Particularly is 1t in
Weighed against because the members
in the early days Of the session enjoy
a junket largely at the expense Of the
Oregon Short Line. Isn't much of
This qutru'ou,2 Let us consider for
a moment tn" matter uf expense. AT
which the "mi IN behind the tax re-
ceip.." as one Of the editorial writers
Of the city expresses it, always looks
first. The provision IS that he mem
bers of the leg islature shall receive a
lump sum-$@O0 each aside from the
presiding officers. 1t is only per
diem because mathematical calcuIa-
tion divides so days into the allow
zee and gives SIS per day. But the
$500 goes whether the legislators
work or play; likewise it goes II they
are required u remain in session over
the 60 day pay limit. Practically the
same rule Is ia effect with respect To
attaches. On the basis of salaries,
therefore, 1t costs the people no more
II the legislature keeps It's pledges in
two months or in two weeks. Then,
.oo IT, is a fayorte view that the less
IA legislature does the more the people
profit, which If correct, argues elo-
Quently on the side of lnaction.
The cost OF the legislature is est-
mated at $3.50 per dav, of which
about $500 Il day is represented in
salaries. The remainder goes for mis-
cellaneoliS itenls that do not continue
during vacations. Figuring it at
$500 IA day, the, cost Of the aPocatello
iunkct was $1,000 To the state, but 1t
is only thee etical expense. As IA
matter OF fact 1t did not cost the
pe-epul il red cent. The expense
goes on with the regularity of int, rest,
in session or out.
Again. no tine is frittered away,
for the reason that, In the early
stages Of the legislature the work is
largely in committees and it is not
required that the committees be in
session. The bills must be individ-
ually digested, In which assimilation
the lobby sauce b comes prerequisite
condiment While the mem bers Of
the legislature are apparently oblivi-
Gus to matters OF state, and while off
on an excursion they are only appar-
emily idle. Their minds are concen-
trated on the interests OF the people.
They are thinking-and when a
legislator thinks it is no ordinary
process.
Viewed from any standpoint, them
the people nor their interests have
suffered but an imaginary injury by
reason for the lapsus linguae.
As TO the Short Line. Well, it's a
close question whether legislators
should accept favors from IA corpora
tion interested in prospective legisla-
ton. But they do. Those who
insist that such favors influence
legislative action place mighty
small estimate on mems honor. 1t
IS not my belief that any legislator
would sell out for railroad pass not
worth $40 To him. Any who are
crooked want great deal more thar
that, and when they get it they can
afford To pay their fare.

A plstlnauished Sufferer.

From Success Magazine.
 The sufferings of dramatic authors at the hrst-night performances of their plays are said to be so acute that few of them dare to sit in front at the dramatic debut of the children of their brain. Thackeray, in his "Virginians," has George Warrington sitting in a neighbor- ing coffee house. while the first produc- tion of his "Carpezan' is in progress, re- ceiving bulletins of its reception from his friends, and doubtless consoling himself with copious drafts of stimulating liquids as a sort of insulation against unhappi- ness in case things should go wrong. It Is said that W. s. Gilbert, the author of "Pinafore" Patience and '"rhe Mka- do" has never yet attended a premiere of any of his many successful operas and plays, dreading the nervous strain of the ordeal. Even Lord Byron. who was sup posed to be a callous sort of person, in so far as caring for the worlds verdict was concerned, is said to have been com pletely wretched at the first production of his play, "Dearer Than Life
 It was at this performance that a long delay occurred at the end of the second act filling the audience with impatience and the distinguished author with dread.
 What in the name of heaven can they be doing back there?" asked a critic, meeting Byron in the lobby of the theatre

MAS0NS TO MEET TUESDAY

Bessemer, February 13.-(Special.) )-Not- withstanding the very indictment weather, the train carrying President-elect Will liam H. Taft was met at the Bessemer depot by a great crowd tonight There were hundreds present who never saw President and hundreds more who had never seen MT Taft and there was a desire on the part of all to get near enough to hear what he had to say and catch a glimpse of the man who in two weeks will ride down Pennsylvania ave- nue to the capitol of the nation and there deliver his inaugural address before he enters the White House.
 The Taft smile was in evidence, and he was full of humor as he spoke to his listeners, his strong countenance break ing into that smile that has made for President Taft much of the friendliness shown him in the south.
 The whole train seemed to appreciate the fact that they were travelling with the next President of the United States, and there was much interest shown at every stop where the honored man was called to the door to respond to the plaud- burn boys in Bessemer for the game this evening were on hand and took a lively interest in the man of the hour"
 While responding in a happy vein to the crowd, the red signal dropped and the splendid train drew away from the de- pot with waving on the part of those aboard and the cheers of Bessemertes who had braved the elements to see MT. Taft

ARE YOU AFRAID
 ITO TAKE CHANGES

Orison swett Warden, in Success Maga-
 zine.
 Many a man fails because he does not dare to take risks, to take the initiative.
 When do you expect to do anything dis tinctive in life? When do you expect to get out of the ranks of mediocrity? The men who do original things are fearless. There is a lot of dare in their makeup, a great deal of boldness They are not afraid to take chances. to shoulder re sponsibility, to endure inconvenience and privation.
 There never was a time when the quail ity of courage was so absolutely indis- pensable in the business world as 1t is today. It does not matter how many success qualities you possess, young man, if you lack courage you will never get anywhere Not even honesty or perseVer- ance will take it's place. There is no sub stitute for courage. It does not matter how well educated you may be, or how good training you may have had for your vocation, 1T you are a hesitator, if you lack that courage which dares to risk all on your juds- ment you will never get above medioe- rity.
 The men who stand at the top of their line of endeavor stand there because they have the courage of their convictions. f They had the courage to climb, had the nerve to undertake even against the ad- vice of others.
