Contempt for DANCER.

The Pennsylvania department of
esting report setting forth careless
ness as the cause for a large proper
ton of all the mine accidents De-
plorable and exasperating as it seems
the only successful remedy lies in dis
cipline and education. The depart
ment's report says:
THE workmen frequently violate the
law because they have become accus-
toned to the dangers that surround
them and are consequently Indifferent
to the results that may follow their
failure to exercise care and discretion
They make cartridges while the lights
are burning on their hats. thaw dyna :
mite on shovel over lamp. work
under overhanging rock in imminent
danger of being crushed and manned
and continue to load cars before set
ting the necessary props or timbers."
The greatest difficulty is to make the
foreign mine workers obey the regula-
tions formulated for their safety. TIC
accomplish this the management of a
mine posts the rules in all the different
languages spoken by the employees
sometimes a dozen or more languages
at single colliery--and the bosses ex-
plain the rules to the men who do not
read easily. But the mine workers
soon become so careless of mine dan
gers that they take all kinds of I'M
necessary risks. The same trouble
in a smaller degree of course, is met
in the ship yards. lumber woods anC
mills. and log drives of Maine Fa-
miliarity with danger breeds contempt
and laborers take their lives in Their
own hands many times day in fool
hardy manner. But of course they
have no opportunities for creating
such disasters as are frequent in min
ing regions.

Miss Hazard and Modern Life.

A number of the older members OF
both clergy and laymen of the
churches are doubtless pleased over
| the retirement of Caroline Hazard, OF
Wellesley from the presidency of that
institution for the higher culture OF
girls. because of her radical ideas
Miss Hazards declaration that there
are things more important even than
prayers to Heaven naturally seems al
most sacriligious to those brought up
under the teachings of ministers of
the old school. but of one fact intelli-
gent minds are convinced. after little
reflection. and that is the vanity OF
many prayers.
The remarks of bluff officer OF
steamer Quaker City on which jour
neyed Mark Twain's Innocents Abroad
| is here recalled, when the saints
aboard the ship were down below
praying for a fair wind for the Quaker
City. while fair wind for that
ship at time when most ships were
heading the other way would have
been a head wind to all such others.
But Miss Hazards belief that life is
a benediction and a privilege and 9
delight rather than a burden and a
battle is shared by most religious
leaders and high thinkers of the mod
ern school like Bishop Quayle.
We still have our dragons" said
Miss Hazard. "Perseus and st
George have not exterminated them
all. The world is waiting for An
dromeda. and still more for the active
Dorcas. Under Syrian skies. or in a
Western world. the call is the same
a call to service. to high living. tt
wage war on the powers of evil" AND
in the ltanies which this president
and poet has written. self-indulgence
evasion. and fear are enumerated as
the dragons every human spirit has tC
fight.
Bishop QuayIe's optimism and en-
thusiasm offends the more sombre OF
his denomination but the cleft in the
cliff of Faith has widened broadly in
the 40 years just past. separating the
intense gloom of religious beliefs that
in the 10th century. hung over as a
heritage from the Puritans which
their descendants proved slow in Civ
ing up. from the SUMMER side of
Faiths rock upon which most high
thinkers and religious teachers are
standing today.
The tendency toward greater liber-
ty and liberality possesses its mis-
takes and dangers but the church and
society is sweeter and brighter and
more beautiful and joyous for no
longer closing its eyes to the rainbows
and flowers and music of life than
was the older church and society
which trod so stolidly along earth's
pathway. eyes open only to the grave,
death and damnation for all those

The Democratic Plight.

Not bone in the political cupboard
for Dame Democracy's poor old dom
key! And the donk's only claim to
staying here any longer is an exag-
gerated hunger for office. He has
kicked his stall all down and the ruins
surround him in heaps of shattered
still kicking and braying. and demand
ing that he be given a chance at the
government feed. In the absence of
argument one or two Maine organs
are carrying on a campaign of in
vective, Selling upon all kinds of
trivial objects to vent their spleen.
They are waging a campaign of I'M
meaning and ill balanced dissent.
Their most impressive tale of woe is
the tide of prosperity. 1t was never
that way in Democratic times. they
say and then they point out how we
| could avoid all this employment and
good wages and general contentment
| by just slashng the tariff and making
laws to kill off all big concerns and
| throttle capital.
They have no political position that
is life there is hope, especially in a
donkey. They have based some cal
culations on the prospect of widening
a last years rift in the Republican
lutte into an engulfing chasm this
year, but failed. The rift has been
| closed by Republican good sense and
vanished over by common interests
In Maine at the present time the
plight of the Democratic party is ap-
parent to all who consider the tenor of
| their claims and the abusive terms
that some of their organs employ. Nc
Republican paper is attacking the
J candidates of the Democratic party or
doing more than Jolly 'em along" The
average reader is not convinced by a
campaign of abuse.
| The country needs the Republican
party. 1t needs it now more than
ever before. to carry out the great
policies that have been inaugurated
and to regulate rather than destroy
capitalistic enterprises.
! Without other creed than that of
master fault finder. without mission
other than to destroy, the Democratic
party in Maine as throughout the
country has INDUCED in vituperation
that is not argument and does not win
friends Most of their attacks refute
| themselves in the eyes of any fair
minded man.
| II any reader of leading Republican
papers wonders why they do not jump
into the ring and strike back. blow
for blow. such reader should remem-
Der that it is poor taste to go after
| rabbits with cannon.

How About It?

Orr Democratic friends are having a
good time telling the voters where

And all the wanton ringlets loop
Behind her dainty ear. emprise
Or slow event and many signs.
Across the stream was scarce a step.
And yet she feared to try the leap:
And he. to still her sweet alarm,
Must lift her over on his arm.
She could not keep the narrow way,
For still the little feet would stray.
And ever must he bend to undo
The tangled grasses from her shoe
From dainty rosebud lips in pout
Must kiss the perfect flower out.
