PREvENTABLE LOSS.
An Industrial Problem of Nation
Wide Importance.



Haf a million persons in the United
States are injured in accident each year
The estimated economic loss by reason. OF
these accidents is a quarter of billion
The buildings consumed by fire in the
United States each. year If placed on lots
OF siXty-five feet frontage would line q
street reaching from New York to Chi.
cago. person 1ourneying along that
street would meet an injured person every
LOCO feet, and at every three-quarters of q
mile he would see the charred remains oil
human being. We are paying a tar
for the preventabe loss of 1896 OOO,O 900, OF
enough to build the Panama canal.
These startling figures are presented by
Mr.. Ferd c. Schwedtman, chairman of tho
committee on industrial insurance Of this
National Manufacturers association. They
are backed by official figures from United
States statistical authorities. They are the
summons which calls the American public
to prompt consideration of the problem Of
conserving resources of the nation. Mex
week when the National Manufacturers
association meets in New York, 1t will de-
vote almost It's entire session to the dis
| cussion of industrial accidents, and means
for their prevention.

Man Necessary Part of Family

The National Conference of Chart
ties and Corrections has made the
significant discovery that man is a
necessary part of the family" 1t
reached this goal through its pursuit
of the problem of the widows com
fort. So it has intimated that mar
riage is the remedy for dependent
women and that therefore widows
should wed.
In his presumption mere man has
flattered himself that he was not
only a necessary part, but the head
of the household, so that he may not
go into ecstacies at once over this
magnanimous concession, though he
should accept it on the scriptural
theory that We come up to our just
reward by degrees, First the blade
then the ear, then the full grain in the
ear" Certainly 1t is most appropriate
and must be conclusive that this con-
cession should come from those good
women who have never yet had the
advantages or a husband, and must
admit the lack OF at least one essential
to their complete happiness.
The advocates of this theory left the
intimation that mans necessity in the
family rested on financial basis. OF
course this would be the natural in.
ference, since it is declared that mar.
riage is the remedy for the dependent
woman. Necessity, of course, implies
sense of indispensability and does
not stop at comprehending privilege
or even option, so that the fiat is quite
restrictive in its limitations, concedinl
no more to man than he may be able
to find or develop in the contingency
Of his future conduct.
For which let man be duly Thankful
and hope, persevering the while.

Describing some wonderful ware
With suitable recommendations.

He tells me just how he began,
And says. II only will try 1t,
He'll prove how an article can
Be boosted so millions will buy It.
Let me say, as a Follow up-ee,

The plan that I'm seeking, you sec,
Is some kind OF way to resist 'em!

SPENDING POOR LOS MONEY.
How Pinchot's Bureau Dug Into n
Tribal Fund.
New York Evening Post

New York Evening Post
Grossly unbusinessike conduct" Is the
charge made against one of Clifford Pin
chots subordinates in the bureau of for
estry by the Indian commissioner, and II
the facts are as stated most people will
wish that some dramatic punishment could
overtake him, even though not the slightest
crlmnality attaches to his actions. For
eighteen years the Menominee Indians
worked hard at numbering on their reser-
walton, making a profit OF $35OO,O 900, which,
with other revenue, gave them tribal
fund of $3,0O0,OO0. Then came a decision to
place these Underwriting Indians under
the control OF the bureau OF forestry. Ed
ward A. Braniff, a recent graduate OF the
Yale forestry school, soon made the money
fly. An injurious act passed by congress
cost the Indians about 100000 OF their
profits and then Mr.. Braniff helped on the
good work. For unnecessary roads $40 900
was expended; for improving a stream
$4,000. The stream was to have floated
logs down to the saw mill erected by Mr..
Braniff, but after the $4,000 was expended
6 per cent of the logs carelessly declined
to float or lost a large part of their value
while in the water-such are the advan-
tagcs of science when given to Lot. Mr..
Braniffs lumber mill cost S254,700, with a
capacity of 100000 feet of lumber when
the law permitted the cutting of only
100000 feet; unnecessary expense here,
$4,000. The saw mill being carefully
erected alongside of a marsh $4,000 was
spent in piling to make It a good lumber
yard and $4,000 worth of lumber used in
piling will soon have to be replaced.
Altogether a wise congress and the for
estry bureau seem to have done away with
at least $1,00O,000 of the Indians savings
and the forestry bureau incidentally has
shown itself totally unfit, in the Indian
commissioners opinion to conduct simple
numbering enterprise upon a business basis.
Now 1t would be unfair to the forestry bu-
reau to condemn it generally for one such
chastity mistake-particularly soandalous
because the government abused sacred
trust when 1t forced such loss upon its
own wardS-but It is just this sort OF blum
dering that Is, we believe, responsible for
much Of the feeling in the west against
tho forestry bureau. With all due regard
for Mr.. Plnchot's eminent service, which
we have always fully appreciated we be-
lieve that ADLER executives can be found
for his office.

The Public Should BE shown.


II the increase OF railroad passenger
and freight rates has really been made
necessary by the increased cost of rail-
road operation-the advances in the cost
of supplies and in the rate of wages
paid-the changes will doubtless be made.
But the public may reasonably ask that
the necessity shall be demonstrated to
the satisfaction of impartial and disin-
terested experts, If any such can be
found. 1t was upon the same principle
that sane-minded people objected to the
indiscriminate attempt not many months
ago to impose arbitrary limits upon rail-
way passenger fares.p especially in view
of the fact that no steps were taken to
ascertain the actual conditions governing
the service performed or it's cost to the
carriers. In all fairness the public Ia
entitled to a reciprocal consideration.

PUBLIC Criticism.
Baltimore American.

The governor Of New Jersey says he
would not seek an elective office again
on account Of the severity and annoyance
of public criticism. This criticism may
be sever and sometimes unjust, but it
is necessary, as the check of all others
in this country, on official conduct. The
people are the rulers and they have the
same right as have other employers to
express dissatisfaction with the public
work not done according to their wishes.
Their employees may, like others, COM
plain of 1t, but they cannot avoid It; in
deed the brave among them rather court
it. The best course to pursue is to de-
serve as little as possible of severity
in it.
