1t is hardly less important that the
mine operators should bear the small
cost of expert direction in accidents
than that the government should main
tain its elaborate marine life-saving
service. Along the seacoast and the
great lakes, in addition to the warn
ing lighthouses. wet have a system pro-
vided with costly boats. cables, NOR
tars, rockets. marine glasses and
horses, which saves many lives each
year. On stormy days and nights
guards patrol dangerous coasts. There
are stated salaries. and for exceptional
heroism there are medals.
To employ in every mining district
few men who are especially fitted
TO organize and drill in life saving n
corps of the more intelligent miners.
as well as to provide suitable equip-
ment for them, would be a small ex-
pense, to which most operators could
hardly object.

The SLAUGHTER of the Jnnoo.,ts


From 100000 to 100000 children in
the United States die every year from
preventable causes. The chief statis-
tician of the federal census bureau Is
the authority for that statement.
Nearly a fifth are infants under one
year of age, and more than a fourth
are children under FIVE years of age.
IL is the conclusion of an eminent
medical authority that the deaths of
~ per cent. of the children may be
prevented and that 81 per cent. of the
ueaths OF children between two and
eneht years are also preventable.
There Is, therefore, veritable
slaughter of the innocents by ignor-
ance, inattention, neglect and poverty
Society is not as we'll organized as n
should be when its infants are thus
condemned to death by the whole
sale.

LAUNCH OWNERS OPPOSE
SUGGESTED LEGISLATION
Claim Bill Recently introduced by
Congressman Humphrey is unrea-
sonable-Throws Needless Re-
strictions in the Way.

Local owners OF motor boats are
much opposed To a bill recently intro
duced by Congressman Humphrey OF
Washington. which would throw fur
Their restrictions about the operation
Of such craft. and will DO everything
in their power to prevent its passage.
II Is claimed that the present regula-
tons are i'm some respects vexatious
and unreasonable, and that the pass
age Of the Humphrey bill VIII mean
death TO the operation OF motor boats
as pleasure craft.
The present requirement that all
power-driven boats will carry a pow
er whistle which may be heard
at distance Of two miles
Is illustrative OF the foolish character
Of some 81 the present regulations. Ii
requires or small motor boat owner
an imposyibility since whistle %
comply with such regulation has
never been produced. The use OF =
tin horn which can be heard much
further than the poor excuses OF pow
er whistles now required. Is refused
because this noise producer is also
used by sailing vessels.
But vexatious and unreasonable az
are the present regulations, it is pro-
posed by Congressman Humphrey e
Washington to make them stlll more
absurd and non enforceable. He has
introduced a bill which requires that
every power boat over thirty-hve feet
long must carry the following equip
ment:
A licensed pilot.
\ licensed engineer.

than 40 miles from shore. and IS
