Fort Collins, Colo, April 5.-Calvin
Miller delirious with samllpox, his
wife and their three-months' old baby
are lost in a blizzard which is raging
today over the Medicine Bow range
so miles from here. Forest rangers
who reported the facts think the lit

Early yesterday Miller with his
wife and baby on sled, started up
Dead Mans hill, endeavoring to reach
deserted cabin on its summit.
rescuers started on his trail soon af-
terward but found no trace of the
little party. and, returning last night,
reported FIVE feet of snow on the
range with terrific gale blowing.
Mlller's trail has been obliterated by
the snow. He had neither food nor
sufficient clothing to protect his wife
and child from the storm.

of good citizenship in the service Of
the state and nation and maintained
that no nation could prosper or en-
dure long without It, After these
preliminary remarks he turned his
attention to what constituted good
citizenship. Good citizenship, he
maintained, began in the home and
the man who maintained and cared
for his family would be of service to
the state and nation. The home was
the foundation of good government
and a nation without good homes, he
asserted, could not last but would
perish from the earth.

Weighing the News.

GFall River Evening HeraldD
Rev. Percy S. Grant. of New York.
formerly rector of st. Marks church,
this city, has classified the items,
printed in New York newspapers dur
ing three successive months, finding
32S5 demoralizing. 1854 unwholesome,
2100 trivial. and 5000 worth while.
Probably it was worth while" to per-
form the task-no light one--of read
ing. Judging and separating all these
items; for the discovery of SO per cent.
of matters of value in the mass is an
encoura ging report TO make. and
points 20 the fact, which is observable
everywhere, that newspapers are i'm
proving. AS intelligence grows there
is increasing public interest in the best
things, and the papers are sensitive to
growing demand in all directions and
are providing more and more amply
the items worth while" The other
items are largely to be regretted, al
though there is assuredly some place
for the trivial Uhe humorous ana VIII
ty, for exampleD, in the life of men.
Exactly how Mr.. Grant interpreted
"demoraliZing" and "unwholesome' as
we do not know;
whether he referred to the acts them
selves, mainly or to the acts and the
accounts of them combined; nor do
we understand how far, if at all, he
considered as the opposition of de

form or manner of presentation OF
those acts. Certainly all wickedness

which they treat them, or they can III
some way stamp some things, con-
sciously or unconsciously; and While
printing items OF these classes they
may add to the newspapers content OF
the worth while" by thus powerfully
pointing a moral or adjoining tale
Some critics would not have located
1900 items worth while but points
of view differ and after all 1t IS the
public demand which governs the class
of news which appears in print, at
least so far as the publishers are able
TO guage that demand.

Names Credit Unauestioned.

The journal protests. We believe II
is serious mistake for any man
promincntlv before the public. to
sneak Of Names credit as if it had
been impaired. We have not heard
and do not believe. that it has been

ninistration which has just retired, but
we did not expect the continuation Oh
campaign methods in the conduct OF

it among financial institutions was
lust as good in 1910 and at the open
ing of 1911 as it ever was.
We do not believe that any public
man, above all the Governor OF the
State, can afford to dieker in political
CAPITAL while in actual service Of the
State. To give the general public
the idea that the credit of Maine has
been impaired; that men and finan-
cial institutions outside of Maine are
distrnstful of ii, is grave injustice
to the people: We believe such a
declaration should be promptly pro-
tested
For the Governor to say for publ
cation, as reported. to go broadcast in
the land and to be made much of by
the newspapers of other States:
Il am considering ways and means
for restoring the credit of the State
of Maine" seems to us an ill-cOnsid-
cred expression. in the face of the re-
newal of notes at low rate Of in
terest. We do not believe that the
Democratic display of efficiency thus
far shown in handling the States at
fairs, has TO any appreciate extent
increased the States credit. The re-
ncwal of notes at low rate of inter
est does not indicate that the States
credit has suffered or is in need of
"rcstoratives."

The vast majority of accidents occur
singly or in small groups, and thus
fail to attract public attention. This
is indicated by the causes.
BY far the most important single
and we'll defined cause of accidents is
fall OF coal or roof, 46.6 per cent. of all
fatal accidents in the l0year period
being due to this cause. while eX-
blossoms of various kinds accounted
for 25.2 per cent. and mine ears for
IL per cent.
Mining methods in the United
States are often crude. and known
safety precautions are either dsre
garded or not used. child labor laws
have been and still are indifferently
complied with in many states, and a
number of fatalities have occurred
each year among children at an age
when they should be in school, In
1908, ten children of Is and "A. and 13
children of Is years We're among those
whose deaths were recorded in the
official reports. Foreign born work.
men without actual experience in
mining are employed in large num-
bers, and through a misunderstand-
ing of orders or by reckless disre-
gard of the necessary rules Of opera
ton, often imperil not only their own
lives but also the lives of trained and
experienced workers. The remedy for
the evils, and the reduction Of the
fatalities in mining operations lies in
the better education of the miners
and better training of the foremen,
superintendent and examiners.
