Heart toHeart
Talks.

By EDWIN AWE.


Cherry. Illinois
That date line was a familiar one to
readers of the newspapers a few weeks
ago and associated In the public mind
with sickening stories Of the mine dis
aster.
But
Along with the sordid horror of 1t
all-the deaths In the passages by suf-
location. by fire. by drowning, by star
vation-was the record Of the fine. ev-
eryday heroism that always comes up
permost in such crises.
Who were these miners?
Well, most of them were foreigners
or ~naturalized Americans, and they
were rough and uncouth. Perhaps you
thought Of them as hundreds of poor
human rats penned In the muck Of
the mine, singed to their death by the
fires.
Also
The men who worked at the shaft
on top and risked their ives in the
mine levels-iremen, miners. work
men-were men rough on the outside
of them.
Rough only on the outside.
Did you read about these strong but
tender hearted men who made rescue
dashes, fighting fires, attacking barri-
cades, until they fell exhausted. In or
der to restore the burned and batter
ed bodies to wives or babes? And of
how some Of the early volunteers were
dead when hoisted?
Or
Did you read the diary of that boy
of twenty-one who calmly told the
story Of each days suffering in thai
hell below, closing the last day with {
| benediction on his sweetheart?
Or
OF how they found farewell notes IL
the pockets Of the dead. which spok'
not of despair, but of that "som'
sweet day" when they should all NEE
again?
Or
Did you read Of those who stood con
slant guard over the dying miner ant
his little water hole"-a depression
in the coal where a few black drop
seeped in-themselves perishing o
thirst?
What godlikeness In man!
You sometimes doubt it? You Sc
the seamy side of things, questio
mems motives, see only h littlenes
Of human and lose faith.
Turn the shield around.
You will then see the godlikeness /
the commonest nan and how 1t come
out of him at the dire need Of his ee
low.
Says q popular woman writer, Don
you Just love human beingsT

MIR. LOVES RETIREMENT.

Samuel Love authorizes THE TIMES ito say that he will not be a al
didate for denomination 20 the office Of county commissioner. This will
occasion surprise o those who thought that Mr. Love was going q
make the rae as he had already announced Mr. Loves determination
will occasion regreti in some parts, for he has made a splendid and a
progressive commissioner In fact while he has held that office from the
Second district, he has o much praise for his administration of the affairs
of LAX county insofar as he had anything 10 do with them. Mr.. Loves
decision not to enter the ace this year means his withdrawal from politics
as far as he is personally concerned, tut it is to be hoped la h will not
cease to be a factor in republican politics If only in an advisory capacity
The republican party needs such men as Samuel Love.
