until Feb. g. To the amazement of
even some of the republican members
of the committee, who. apparently,
were not Gin" on the conspiracy, Mr..
Humphrey demanded immediate action
on the bill, with but the one hearing.
The president and the attorney Of the
Merchants association of New York
were fortunately present and were al
lowed to get in their testimony. Mr..
Humphrey was not only impatient, but
insolent that even anybody should be
heard. He accused the association of
bad faith and as working in the inter
ests Of the foreign ship owners. This
was denied.
Mr.. Humphrey then succeeded in
having the bill damned through the
committee. Representative Alexander
Of Missouri, a minority member of the
committee, vigorously protested against
such indecent haste, and said 1t was
unfair to the committee, and to the
house, and to the country to railroad
the bill through in that manner; that
the subject was one of vast Importance
and that hearings should be had from
day to day and the merits Of the bill
be thoroughly investigated and consid-
cred. All of the minority members,
and Wilson of Illinois republican,,
protested at the outrage. The bill, by
a vote Of 10 to 1, was railroaded
through committee, in spite of the fact
that shipping bills introduced by Kus-
termann of Wisconsin, Rainey Of Hi
nois, Clark of Florida and Sulzer Of
New York had not been given mo-
ment's consideration.

mittee in favor of ship subsidy! Thus

City Advertising.

Des Moines, Iowa, is to put a big
sum of money into a national cam
paign similar to that conducted by
ST. Paul, Portland and Colorado City
to advertise the city.
Cities in particular which have
given the commission form of gov
eminent a fair test. soon find that it
produces many things worth adver-
Using, and such cities want the
whole country to know of these re-
suits. That's why these press bureau
letters are flooding the desks of news
papers throughout America.
In Des Moines the commission
PLAN has been given a fair test.
Some difficulty was experienced at
first We are informed that one or
two of the commissioners were not
just the kind of men the law con-
templated should be selected. But
they got into the work, found the
city's affairs taken away from parti
san politics, found themselves re-
sponsible servants of the people in
a great municipal business institu-
ton, found themselves under re-
straint of the recall, and they set tC
work to help Des Moines and not to
play peanut politics. They've made
good too!
The ''Des Moines plan mas made
good, and it always pays to advertise
good things.

The tax on personal incomes is be-
ing opposed in some quarters on the
ground that 1t is socialistic. Incomes
now are taxed in II countries, and by
all the leading nations except France,
where proposal to tax them was made
at the last session of the assembly and
probably will be carried into law by
the next assembly. The socialistic
bugaboo likely will not brighten away
friends of the one system of collecting
revenue which more than any other
puts the burden on wealth.

At Dobbs Ferry, some thirty miles
north of New York city, is a house
which during the Revolutionary war
was occupied by General Washington
for his headquarters. 1t is a square
frame house standing in the center of
perhaps half an acre of ground, and In
a niche In the wall separating the
premises from the road is monu-
ment with an inscription stating the
fact that Washington worked there.
Indeed, in that house he planned the
Yorktown campaign, which closed the
struggle for American independence.
One morning a girl of twenty stood
in one Of the rooms on the ground
floor Of this building-they We're all
occupied for offices by members of
Washington's staf-while a young
man in the uniform of a captain sat
at the desk writing. When he had
finished he handed her a slip of paper.

There is the pass, Janice. Remem-
Der. 1 am responsible that he who

Mine Explosions.

While the people of Illinois are
wondering what action the state leg
isIature will ultimately take upon the
legislation to render safer the condi-
tions under which miners of this
state are employed, they are impress
ed with the need of such legislation
as they read the horrible sequel to
for the mutilated and decomposed
bodies, and the bringing of them to
the surface of the mine in which
they were buried alive and where a
disastrous fire burned for weeks
Since the accident at Cherry there
have been several smaller accidents
in the state.
Illinois is not the only state nor is
this the only nation where these hor-
rors occur. There was recent mine
accident in Mexico which snuffed out
many lives. Several accidents have
occurred in various parts of the
United States recently. Last week
a mine accident was reported from
Pennsylvania where it is said a score
or more of men were killed.
General safeguards were needed.
These accidents are all too numer-
ous Certainly with all the scientific
study of the situation today it can
be determined just what safeguards
are required.
Illinois should lead among the
states giving the miners rigid legis-
lation for their protection.

HuInOr and
Philosophy
A MENTAL MlsHAP.
By DUNCAN N. Sr1ITH

A TRAIN of thought is not equipps
~ With whistle and with brakes.
Which may be why such violent
And sudden stops II makes.
With no attachment 70 the wheels
Its airy fight 10 check.
And that 10 why you often hear
About II n a wreck.
When the conductor OF the train
Sits in his easy chair
It runs along without mishap
And takes him anywhere.
But II his wife should motion him
To 20 and fix the crate
The mishap to that train of thought
Is sad to contemplate.
When all conditions are in tune
And level is the track.
oh, how that train securely glideS
To Halifax and back!
But when a bill collector calls
And there Is cash TO pay
At once the engine sideways Jumps
And spells the right OF way.
A pleasant line on which 70 ride
The passengers are gay.
No ticket puncher comes along
And says, Get OF or pay"
But, oh, IL is a risky trip.
Although the hurt Is slight.
For there may be a dozen wrecks
In just q single night!
