1t pays for employers to take good care
of their employees lives and health.
The liability of the employees them
selves. moreover. is an important phase
OF the matter. Mr.. Smith in discussing
he subject referred to the recent dis
aster at the mine at Cherry. III. The
responsibility for hat tragedy is not
yet positively fixed, and we have
no inclination to forecast the ultimate
verdict. Rut it is notorious that many
mine disasters-which are among the
most destructive in the industrial world
have been caused by the workmen
themselves thru their deliberate ana
perverse violation of the rules for
safety which nave been laid dow, by
their employers. Any miner will testify
that the rules against smoking in
mines are often broken and that safety
lamps are at times misused so as 10.
destroy their efficiency. Yet if a dis
aster occurs thru such practices the
blame is instinctiveiy laid upon the
mine owners or nag

sibflity for every misllap in industrial
occupations IS complicated and diff

be that they use all practicable means.
for safeguarding the lives and health
Of their employees. not from all the ills
10 which flesh is heir. but simply from
the special dangers which are involved
in their employment, and that they
shall pay ar appropriate penalty for the.
consequences Of their neglect to do 50.
Beyond that. the employees should
realize the fact that no precauticn
which can be taken Is efficient in the
face of perversity or folly. Work in a
coal mine is inevitably more hazard
Gus than work in a flower garden. 1t
may be a debatanle point whether tile
inevitable risks which remain after all
precautions are taken should be as
sunned by the employer or by the en-
ploye. or should be divided between
them. L is not 10 be questioned that

for whatever disaster may result from
their action.

With due regard for vested interests.
the express companies might well be

OUTSIDE BUSINESS.

We made flying trip to Lexington
last week. We left Winchester on the
9:12 a. m. L. & E., and returning left
Lexington on the II 20 a. m. c. & 0.
We were in Lexington, therefore, less
than one hour and a half.
During that time we transacted the
business on which we went and Wis
tied the Herald Office. We passed the
time of day with a number Of our old
friends and chatted with a few of
them. Among the number were two
dry goods men and one clothier.
Each of the three told us that they
would like to use the columns of The
News in their outside advertising.
We explained the policy we are now
pursuing andtold them we could not
take their advertisements.
This caused us to make a little cal
culation. We know of at least $50
worth of business that we can run
weekly from Lexington for the ask
ing. Figuring on the lowest basis
$50 a week-makes $1,000 a year.
The capital stock of the Winchester
News is $4,000. 0 nthat capital
stock, $1,000 represents over S12 per
cent.
We think these figures ought to
show our merchants and business men
that The News is doing its share to-
ward the upbuilding of the city.

CHARLES TAFT GGGS
BEFORE GRAND JURY
Brother Of President-eIeCt Gives
Testimony To-day.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Although the
federal grand jury sat for about two
hours, occupying all it's time presum-
ably in the examination of witnesses
and evidence dealing with the alleged
libelous matter published in the New
York World and the Indianapolis
News, concerning the purchase of the
Panama canal rights from the French
company, District Attorney Baker
would give no information as to when
the grand jury might be ready to
make a report.
Attorney General Bonaparte an
nounced that he would have a state
ment to make in connection with the
case, possibly on Wednesday. By that
time he probably will have heard all
of the witnesses. Charles p. Taft will
appear today. Delevan Smith of the
Indianapolis News, cousin of Vice
President Fairbanks, is to appear
Wednesday. r. =. F3~nham, member
Of the law firm OF William Nelson
Cromwell, who was lIr. CromwelIs
right-hand man in the negotiations
which resulted in the purchase OF the
Panama canal by this government,
arrived here, but he refused to dis
cuss the matter. Mr. Taft also de
clined to make any statement.

SOME OF OUR FRIENDS.

Some of our friends have a queer
way of commencing the work of The
News and encouraging us to keep
it up. A very pleasant elderly lady
came in yesterday and told the editor
how much she approved of our edi-
torials in favor of clean yards,
clean sidewalks and clean streets and
thought we we're doing much good in
that line.
We felt correspondingly good, for
an editor likes to be praised once in
a while, until the circulation manager
told us she had stopped here paper
because she was taking too many.
We still wonder why she did not
stop one of the other papers?

HOUSE lNIERfERES
Applies Gag to Member Who Verbally
Assaulted President.

Washington, Jan. ia sensation
al and bitter attack on President
Roosevelt was made in the house of
representatives by Mr.. Willett of New
York His remarks, which were de-
livered under the license of general
debate on the pension appropriation
bill, were cut short by vote of the
house that it would hear no more Of
them. So vehement was the denun-
citation of the chief. executive that it
seemed as if the New York member
raked the dictionary for words which
would properly express his feelings.
The president was characterized as
a "gargoyle, tyrant, pygmy descend
ant of Dutch trades people, hay-te.-
der, fountain of billingsgate, a jocu-
larity, imitation of king and bogus
hero"
AS it was, Mr. Willett had COM
pleted the reading of about three
fourths of his speech when, after re-
peated appeals to the chair by nu-
merous Republicans that he be called
to order, he was compelled to take
his seat. 1t was on a motion by Mr..
Gambler of Mississippi that the New
Yorker be allowed to proceed "in or
der" that the house voted him off the
floor, rs to 1875. Mr.. Willett freely
remarked on the floor that the action
of the body put an end to free
speech"

THE MUNICIPAL PRIMARY.

The municipal primary has been
called by the Democratic Committee
for the second of March. A large
number of candidates for the various
offices are already in the field. Much
canvassing has been done. Some of
the announced candidates are men of
high character and would fill with
honor to themselves and credit to the
city the positions which they aspire
to hold.
Others are absolutely untitled for
any public office. Some Of these
have not the education or the ca
pacity; others are the representa-
sfives of some special interest which
hopes to secure something from the
municipality.
There has been an awakening Of
civic pride In Winchester. There is
a feeling abroad that it is time that
the representatives of the city in its
municipal government shall be men
of standing and capacity. Much Of
our future development depends on
: the. next few years.
We have been told that there is
little likelihood Of Republican tick
et in the city. There is much respon-
sibility therefore ON the Democratic
party
There should be no politics in the
city government. Winchester is a
corporation and should be managed
like any other well regulated cor

fairs does not care whether man is

bitionist or a Socialist. 1t is looking

United States government, to ignore
the said subpoenaes on the ground
that their issuance was an abuse of

close Of the hearing of the case in

While the proceedings are believed
to have been brought upon the initia-
tive of President Roosevelt and in
connection with the publication of a
story alleging Irregularities in con-
nection with the purchase of the
French Panama Canal company by
the United States government, there
is nothing in the subpoenaes issued,

but against several other individuals,
to indicate what the inquisition is
about, who the complainant is and
against whom the action is brought.

| purchased set of John L. Stod-

By reading the lecture on a cOun-

Agreement Ends March 81.
The officers of the miners unions
headed by the president, Thomas L

are insistent upon these demands. The
leading operators have declared their
firm intention not to grant them. AS
the working agreement between the
unions and the operators expires or

must be reached at the present con
vention if peace is to be preserved IL

The operators are willing to renew
the agreement, which is the one made

workers necessary.
The result of the recent election
among the union mine workers will
be announced at the convention.
