Bouqnets for Mr.. voorhees.

State Treasurer Daniel S. Voorhees,
was again heartily complimented by
the legislative committee ia its an
nual examination of the affairs of the
office Wednesday. They agreed that
everything 10 his Office was ia perfect
order and the figures for the year
without an error. The treasurer and
his Office force received hearty CON
CALCULATIONS throughout the day on
the tine showing Later in the day
Mr.. VOORHEES, was the host at lunch
con at the Country club in Trenton
with most Of the prominent officers Of
the state and some notable former
officials as his guests. Mr.. Voorhees,
sat at the head of the table with Gov
ernor J. franklin Fort on his right
and former Governor Edward @. Stokes
on his left. Governor Fort was among
those who congratulated Mr.. Voorhees,
and former Governor Stokes was a bit
reminiscent and eulogized Uncle
Dan. Every body lauded the treas
urer and told him he would be unani-
mously reelected this winter BY the
incoming legislature. His term ex-
pires March 10th, 1910.

was to him imperative. and no man since
James Russell Lowell, at whose death he
seemed to receive a conservation of civic
ardor, has more faithfully held up the
highest ideals of American citizenship.
In this work and, in fact, in all the null
titnde of his philanthropic activities his
influence and example have now become
heritage to his country.
Another note which runs through his
life, his editorial writing and his poetry
note that deepened with the advance OF
years-is that of personal responsibility.
He felt that institutions were, in the last
apalysis, merely men and that ours could
be preserved only by the virtue and al
truism of the Individual citizen. The
scorn he felt for those who were willfully
recreants to their political duties was like
that Of a soldier for deserter. His hui
mility and self effacement gave sincerity
to his appeals to the best In every one.
He had the keenest sense of noblesse
oblge, and in all his spiritual and beauti-
full verse there is nothing more expressive
of the chivalry of his life than these lines,
the aspiration of which he embodied in
his career:
When to sleep I must
Where my fathers sleep;
When fulfilled the trust,
And the mourners weep:
When. though free from rust,
Sword hath lost It's worth
Let me bring to earth
No dishonored dust.

TO LESSEN MINE DANGERS.
Safety Devices Suggested by John
Mitchell, Former Coal Miner.


Mitchell, Former Coal Miner
Goal mining is the most hazardous
industry in America"
John Mitchell vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, who
for nearly ten years was president of
the United Mine, Workers and who
himself was digger of coal from the
time he was thirteen years old until
he attained the age of twenty-five
years, made this statement in COM
menting on the disaster at the mine of
the st. Paul Coal company at Cherry,
ILL.,, on Nov. IL, in which nearly 300
men lost their lives.
Mr.. Mitchell suggests several safety
devices. One is the installation of tel
ephone systems in mines. Another is
the laying of pipes throughout the gal
leries and workings through which air
or liquid food could be pumped in case
of accident. A third suggestion is that
mines be fitted with air tight eompart-
ments communicating with the surface
which would serve as havens of refuge
in case of disaster.
The Cherry mine disaster had it's ORR
gin in a pile of hay used to feed mules
stationed in the mine A careless min
or threw a torch upon it, and the tim
bers.of the mine later caught fire.
"Of course these calamities always
suggest means by which lives thus lost
might have been saved" said Mr.,
Mitchell IF coal mines were equip
ped with telephones throughout their
workings 1t would be possible for men
entombed to let those on the outside
they We're gathered, or at least to let
them know what was their condition.
And thus the work of rescue would
be greatly aided.
IF mines were equipped in all their
galleries with pipes through which
compressed air could be forced the
needed oxygen could be supplied. And
in like manner it would also be pos
sfble to supply food, ut least food in
liquid form, to sustain life for few
days. No mines are equipped with
such devices as these, and my sug-
gestion is not directed to the Cherry
mine alone.
"A very simple device which would
be of advantage In all mines in the
event of fire, explosion or any other
accident which would cut off egress to
the main shaft would be the building
of number of compartments. each
large enough for a hundred or more
men to gather in, so arranged shat the
doors could be closed, making them
air tight. If these compartments We're
connected with air pipes to the surface
they would be Ravens of safety for
great numbers OF men killed in mines,
not by explosions themselves, but by
the afterdamp that always accumu-
lates after explosions. This is done in
European mines and has been the
means of saving large numbers of
men entombed through fire OF explo-
sion"

susquehanna Uses New Tracks.

oNS4uOAaAAtt 0SGH NEW 1FaGkSs
I The newly depressed tracks of the
New York, Susquehanna and Western
Railroad company leading under the
Lackawanna tracks at West End were
in use Saturday, and the old grade
crossing, which was dreaded by the
engineers of two railroads, and which
has been the scene of several collisions,
and some hairoreadth escapes, was a
thing of the past.
The Susquehanna trains, instead of
passing at grade across che Lacka-
wanna tracks, took the dip and trav-
eled over the newly depressed roadbed
just west of the old track. The change
marks another stage in the engineer
ing enterprise begun at the West End
section of Jersey City last July, when
the great job of aboliShing the grade
crossings was begun. Concrete alb it,
ments to carry the new girders OF the
Lackawanna railroad over the Susoue-
hanna tracks were reared, and more
recently the work of excavating for
the new roadbed Of the Susquehanna
was begun.
While it is possible now to run the
Susquehanna trains over the new road
bed underneath the Lackawanna
tracks, the improvements at West
End are not yet completed. Much
more digging is necessary before the
roadbeds are in the condition planned
by the experts in charge of the work

A NICE question arises in connection
with the condemnation proceedings
for the post Office site. 1t is generally
agreed that the establishment of the
post office at a given location enhances
the property in the immediate vicin-
ity. Under these circumstances is it
fair to take a mans property at its
former value when the taking of the
property increases the value of adj
joining property from twenty-five to
fifty per cent? 1t would seem as
though there should be some way Of
assessing benefits on the adjacent
property sufficient to bring to the
party whose property is condemned
his fair share of the benefits to accrue
from such taking.

most wicked man in Millville brought
out a large attendance, which filed
the First Methodist Episcopal church.
The pastor said that there are men in
Millville who are drunkards, swindlers,
gamblers, men who are licentious and
addicted to the use of profanity.
These, he said. are wicked, but the
most wicked man is { He who knoweth
his duty and doeth it npt."

The opposition to the use of Lake
wood hotel as a sanitary resort for
those threatened with tuberculosis Is
due to gross ignorance. A person with
tuberculosis in advanced stages may
communicate his disease to those near
him, by personal contact, mainly
through his expectoration of the
germs In a way to disseminate them
into The air. Being absorbed by Others
who have some tendency in that di-
rection, the seeds of disease may easily
be transmitted. There is, however,
no such transmission as is found in
ordinary communicable diseases, and
the probability of infection is much
less In consumption by direct contact
with the person afflicted than it is by
splitting on the sidewalk A person
may be affected with consumption and
not being aware of the fact, spit, and
thus disseminate the germs far and
wide among those predisposed to the
disease. None the less. the person
nearest him, who had no predisposi-
tion and who never breathed in the
drie4 germ, floating from discharge,
might easily escape. Indeed, his peril
would be extremely slight. In short,
a tuberculosis sauitorium is no menace
to community. There is much more
peril from the careless expectoration
upon the sidewalks such as is seen
every day. Sunday Call.

JUDGE GARRISON decided some time
ago that ballots containing the names
of George Washington, Abraham Lin
coin, Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jeffer-
son and Daniel Webster for constable
could not be regarded as 6 marked" in
a recount, as each ballot must be sub
mitted separately. Different proceed
ings we're necessary in order to chal-
leDge the legality Of lot of ballots.
And so what is known as the Cape
May trick was successfully worked
One of the beauties Of the voting ma
chine was that after voter had once
recorded his choice it could not be
questioned, and there could be no re-
counts. But the machines interfered
with the buying and selling of votes,
and when the politicians added their
protests to those of few honest but
prejudiced prouestants, out went the
machines and back came the trickery
and corruption that we were trying to
get rid of. Thus far no election law
has been devised that the ingenuity
of the workers has not been able to
circumvent, and it is doubtful wheth-
er an effective law can be drawn.
Something can be gained by having
honest, intelligent and competent
election officers who do not owe their
places to ward and county leaders.
They, better than Supreme Court
Justice, can determine whether bal
lot Is marked and With fair cleo
bion, honest count, and correct re-
turns, there would be no need of so
many reconnts. At present there is
no standard by which the legality of
ballots may be judged, and it is doubt
full whether either the legislature or
the courts can make a rule that will
be Of general application, except by
going back TO the voting machines.

Committee Appointed To Carry
On Effort For Line In South
Hand County

Gam VALLEY, Feb. PA meeting
of the citizens of Buffalo, Hand and
Hyde counties was held at the Gam
Valley hall this week to discuss the
railroad proposition and devise ways
and means for procuring one for
this part Of the country. There was
a good representative crowd present
and most earnest and enthusiastic
meeting. A small minority were in
favor of a proposition of raising a
bonus and trying to get some of the
reads operating in this part of the
country to extend into our territory
but large majority were in favor
of organizing an independent com.
pany, raising the stock and building
an independent inter-urban line to
connect with principal points of
other roads. A committee was ap-
pointed to investigate the matter
and they will visit Mitchell. Huron,
Chamberlain, and other points and
see what encouragement thev can
receive. Another meeting will be
held here in about two weeks, when
the committees will report, and
further steps be taken.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE
BEFORE VOTERS
Many New Laws Made In Last
Week OF Session

Friday. March 5. is the date of
the closing the present session of
the South Dakota state legislature
at Pierre, and the bills are being
rushed through with great rapidity
in the last few days.
Among the measures that have
been watched with considerable in
terest this session, has been the one
granting popular vote on consti-
tutional amendment to provide
equal suffrage. at the next general
election. The suffraglsts have been
hard at work during the whole ses-
sion, and although their bill was at
one time killed, they had it intro
duced again and are at last success
full, the resolution having passed
both houses. The result was OBJ
tained by the liquor interests throw
ing their influence with the suffra-
gists, in order to prevent the bill
providing suffrage to women on the
license question only, from passing.
The antl-cigarette bill has also
passed both houses. 1t is a very
stringent measure, prohibiting mi
nors from smoking cigarettes, and
imposes heavy penalties upon any
person who sells or gives them the
"makins."
The anti treating bill, which has
been in conference for several days,
has been amended so much as to
make it nearly harmless, but will
probably be accepted by both houses
as better than none at all.
The house killed the Highmore
inebriate asylum bill, but its boost
ers say it is only postponment for
two years.
Another important measure was
the one lowering the present ex-
press rates twenty percent.
