Mine Disasters.

The frequent and terrible disasters
in American coal mines, resulting in
an inquiry begun IN 1908, have finally
brought to light information of very
striking character.
Statistics gathered by the Geologi-
calSurvey show2, 061 miners killed and
4, 800 injured in the coal mines in 1906,
and 1925 killed and $500 injured in
1907. The death rate for 1907 was So
for every 1000 men employed. The
European coal producing countries
show a death rate in mines of in
every 1000 employed, and not more
than 2. In other words, for every
miner killed in European coal mines,
from to are killed in the United
States.
The natural question arises, Why
is the death rate in American coal
mines so much greater than in Europe?
The question is vital if we bear in
mind that-according to the conserya-
tive estimates of the government ex-
perts-more than 10000 miners have
been killed in the United States since
1889.
Some light on the question is thrown
by the data for 1908. The public was
aroused over the great mine disasters
of 1906 and 1907. The general agita-
ton which followed forced Congress
to appropriate a large sum for the in
vestigation of the causes of mine fata-
lities. Remarkable coincidence, the
statistics for the year 1908 show 9 de-
cided decrease in the number OF deaths
in the coal mines, as compared with
those Of the previous year: 2, $50 in
1908, as against 3,l25 in 1e07-a de-
crease Of 675.
Six hundred and seventy -fve of the
country most useful men saved, with
in one year, from terrible and pre-,
mature death! That is very great
gain, indeed, due chiefly to the active
popular protest against the wilful
slaughter Of miners through the in
Suitable greed and criminal negligence
of the coal barons. The work of the
experimental stations further proves

John A. Hartigan, state insurance
commissioner and president of the
National Association of Insurance
Commissioners, entered an active
protest against the payment of so per
cent commission for merely collecting
the premium on fire insurance
policy. In discussing the popular
complaint that fire insurance rates
are exorbitant, he says: "a careful
review Of the underwriting experience
of fire insurance companies does not
seem to justify the statement that, in
general, on their entire business the
companies are collecting too much
money. Underwriting profits are not
and have not been large. The fire
waste in this country is enormous and
due to many causes, among which is
the careless underwriting of many fire
insurance companies. Investigations
are made afer fire has occurred in
stead of before the risk is accepted.
The agent should be more than
collector of premiums. He should
have a thorough knowledge Of under
writing principles SO as to protect not
only the company but his customers.
These matters should be controlled
and regulated by the companies, but
If they are unable to control the situa-
tion, I see no other possible outcome
than to institute state control of these

The ship subsidy steal lis up before
congress again, with better chances
than usual Of passing. 1t has the
support of presidential urging, and
she present president seemssto be able
80 get along with congress..sto better
advantage than with 1.-THE people IN
general. And this ship subsidy
measure, should it pass, will hardly
help the presidents Popularity. 1t
has never been a popular measure
with people generally, particularly
with those of the inland states. The
people are reasonably generous, and
anxious to help the needy, but when
shat help is advanced to poor fellows
who own railway lines, and have the
price of few ocean steamers, it is
more difficult to loosen up. OF course,
those who will be benefited by ship
subsidy are needy, on the theory that
some are so constituted that they need
all they can get, but the public interest
IN them isn't great unless it can't help
itself, which sometimes happens. The
ship subsidy measure is also supposed
TO make a. strong appeal to Patrio-
tism, but it fails in this; SO many
people know they are scheduled for
no ocean voyages that they don't care

out there or not-Atchison Globe.

An Official Impropriety For the
Sake OF

It was doubtless officially improper
for Mr.. Pinchot to address letter to
a senatOr-tO be read in the senate
defending MIR. CLAWS and inferentia,-
ly attacking Mr.. Ballinger, when
President Taft had previously written
a letter damning said CLAWS and
lauding Mr.. Ballinger. But there
was something humorous in that part
of the Presidents removal letter.,
which censures Mr.. Pinchot for at
tempting to influence the public
before the investig alton Of the Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy" as only
q few hours before Mr.. Pinchot's
letter was read Mr.. Taft had himself
sent to the senate, and sent broadcast
over the country the Wickersham
letter, branding the CLAWS charges
as false and Mr.. CLAWS as megolo-
maniac.
This slip of consistency is doubtless
schargeable to a natural irritation that
Mr.. Ballinger is more in need Of q
vindication after, than he was before,
the President first ''exonerated him. &
Mr.. Ballinger may be very fine man
and q devoted public servant, but
somehow the public can't see him that
way and since it is such men as Mr..
Pinchot who are making war on him.
and such men as Cannon, Aldrich,
|Daizell, ETC., who are defending him
his road to vindication will be q diff
cult one. The Courant, st. Paul

beyond doubt that the majority of ac-
cidents could be avoided by improving
the conditions of the mines, introduce
ing safety appliances and otherwise
forcing the operators to a higher sense
of responsibility toward the producers
Of the coal.
Europe has long since awakened to
this necessity, hence the reduction in
the death rate in their coal mines.
Yet neither Europe nor America can
make mining or similar work really
safe as long as the principle of COM
mercial competition makes things
more valua BILE than human lives.

Prof. A. Ackerma ann last Sunday
occupied the pulpit in Lutheran Holy
Trinity church, st. Paul. It will be
remembered that Rev. Schroedel some
time ago received vocation from this
church to fill the vacancy caused by
his fathers death. He declined, how
ever, where upon the congregation ex-
tended a call to Rev. A. Haase OF
Peshtiko, Wise, who has accepted
and will shortly move to St. Paul.
John Stelljes, foreman OF the Eagle
mill cooper shop, last Tuesday after
noon met with a painful accident. in
which he lost part of the thumb and
index finger Of his right hand. In the
effort OF adjusting some Irregularities
OF the machinery he accidentally came
IN contact with the swiftly moving fan,
the blades OF which mutilated his fin
gers to such an extend, that an ampu-
tatlon ofthose members was considered
necessary. It will be sometime before
Mr.. Stellejes can attend to his duties
as foreman in the cooper shop.

Things Theatrical.

Inc success OF James Forbes latest
comedy, 1.-THE Travelling Salesman, y
which Henry B. Harris will present at
Turner Theater Feb. q, was cyclonic
in New York, Chicago and Boston,
in each of which cities it registered an
exceptionally long run.
"The Travelling Salesman like
Mr.. Forbes earlier comedy, 1.-The
Chorus Lady, is typically American.
It depicts the life Of commercial
traveller realistically and most humor-
ously. One of the strangest qualities
OF the comedy is that the fun starts
with the first line, and the first act
registers a success all its own.
Good, clean-cut comedy, and plenty
of character types are combined in
"The Travelling Salesman" and the
play appeals to all classes of theater-
goers. The travelling salesman is a
familiar type to every one, and this is
the first play written that takes the
drummer as a central figure and pre-
sents him in true light, aiming
chiefly at a humorous exposition of
his characteristics, without burles-
quing in the least.
In getting the surroundings and
atmosphere Mr.. Forbes has gone to a
composite. He has most cleverly
rounded up the average and hit off
the life of the road by his human
touches Of character studies that re-
fleet the general view Of the game.
The same observing eye, and the same
insight helped him give spontaneity to
the story in fashion that has made
his play a living reality.
