Declares Dr.. Holmes Who Is
at the Head Of the
Mine Bureau.
OFFICE PERMANENCE
So as to Be Posted in the
Work is Really An
Essential.

WASHINGTON d. c., Mar. 81
The selection and continuance In OF.
ice Of state mine inspectors should
DEFEND entirely upon illness. in the
opinion OF Or. ,Ioserh "A. Homes, d.
rector OF the Bureau OF Miaes. He
deprecates the practice in some
states OF appointing mine inspectors
because of their politics and po;itica;
activity, ana in other states OF hay-
ing them elected on political tickets.
The mines OF the United States are
reported in official publications as
exacting a toll OF more than 5000
lives annually through accidents and
Director Holmes has been making
some suggestions which, in his opin-
ion. If followed out, would material
ny reduce the number and scope OF
accidents. Among these suggest nc
the foremost is that the minis !a-
spectors should be selected after
competitive examinations as to tit-
ness and not merely to subserve
some political purpose.
"The state mine inspectors" said
Dr. Holmes, should have greater
permanence in office and freedom
from political or other outside in
fluences. Their selection and con-
tinuance in office should depend
upon their training and experience.
They should he examined by nom
political board of mining men. They
should be appointed upon the rec
concentration OF such board from
the applicants that have shown the
highest skill and best experience.
Under no circumstances should they
be selected by popular vote.
IN other words, politics should
have nothing whatever to do with
their selection or their continuance
in Office The inspectors should
have better support in the way OF
! compensation. In fact, the salary
snl other conditions should he such
as to enable the state to secure the
hest possible tyne OF men for this
important work"
Among other methods Of reducing
the number OF accidents, DR.. Holmes
suggested the use at each mine OF a
limited number Of men we'll trained
and experienced in tho best methods
of using explosives, electricity and
the handling o. coal dust and gases;
the best methods OF ti1,toering with

POLITICAL.

President Taft's immediate call for
an extra session of Congress in April
puts new face on the reciprocity
situation and may. in the opinion OF
some Of the opponents, as we'll as the
champions of the proposed agree
ment, save the cause in Canada from
any peril 1t may have incurred by the
failure Of the United States Senate to
indorse the plan. 1t is generally con-
ceded that If reciprocity session Of
Congress had not been summoned and
ratification had been left to the ses-
sion next fall, the Canadian advocates
of the plan might have been dis
heartened and probably parliament
would follow the example of Congress,
leaving ratification to its chances at
the succeeding session.
