An Uninspired Prophecy.

II Thomas B. Reed could enter the
house of representatives today and
see what changes have been made in
the power of the speaker since he
held that position he would, un-
doubtedly, admit that it had under
gone a revolution. Reed, who was
titled Gear" because of his style
Of controlling the house, made this
declaration in congress nineteen years
ago. as recently recalled in debate by
Congressman Henry of Texas:
1 have been fifteen years in congress
and l never saw a SPEAKERS decision over
ruled and you will never live to see IT,
either.
lie was not addressing Uncle Joe"
although Mr. Cannon was a member
of that congress and, more than any
other man today, must feel that
prophecy was not one of the elements
that made a great man OF Speaker
Reed If Reed was a car, then Can
non must have been a despot as
speaker, to judge from the opposi-
tons estimate. At any rate, the
later tendency toward autocratic
power in the speaker is what finally
brought the elimination Of complete
change in the house rules. Time and
again the speaker was overruled and
once all but removed from the posi-
ton.
Looking at Speaker Reeds declara-
ton now in the light of history, one
may be able to appreciate the signifi-
cant changes made in this brief
period. And it cannot be doubted
that in the end the majority Of the
changes will prove to be toward more
responsive government and therefore
desirable. 1t was only little while
ago that to have done certain things
in the senate, which we have seen of
late, would have been denounced as
an assault upon that heirloom of
tradition-senatorial courtesy. There
never was any good reason for indulg-
ing much Of this so-called courtesy,
but it will take a long time 10 get
back to it now, If, indeed, it can ever
! be done.

Mitohell,s Appeal for Safety.

John Mitchell's speech in Philadel-
phia. in which he pleaded for a
greater measure Of safety for the man
engaged in hazardous occupation, be-
comes very timely in view OF the
shocking mine disasters resulting in
large losses Of life within the last few
days. So much has been said on this
subject that it would seem dificult to
add anything new, but II repetition
and reiteration will serve to awaken
employers and the government to
more adequate means OF protecting
life it will be labor we'll spent.
Mr.. Mitchell has recalled that, TAX
ing all mining countries, the average
annual number Of industrial fatalities
in foreign lands is Las per 1000
men, whereas in the United Stats IL
! is s.46 per 1000, nearly three times
as many in the United States as
abroad. why? That is naturally
the frst question that suggests itself.
Is the American employer more indif-
ferent to the lives and safety OF his
men than the European employer? If
he were not, would this disparity ex-
list? That is question everyone
may answer for himself One thing
seems certain-the American en-
ployer or mine owner is not careful
enough or this awful destruction of
human life would not continue as It
does.
According to Mitchell, who ought
to know. and to Colonel Roosevelt,
who made a recent study hrsthand.
the mining machinery Is not equipped
with the best practical safety devices.
This should not be 80. The mine OPP
orators of this country certainly are
making enough proht out Of their in
dustry to throw about the lives OF
their men every protection which
modern ingenuity can provide.
What the men want. says Mitch

The Auto and the Horse.

The Kansas supreme court has just
rendered a decision Of much interest
that touches the auto on the one side
and the horse on the other. Some
time ago an automobile struck a We
hicle drawn by horse and injured the
driver. He brought suit for damages
against the automobile man and won
in the lower court. It so happened
that the horseman had, in his effort to
escape the auto, turned out OF the
road to the left. instead Of the right,
as, of course, all road rules require.
But on appeal to the state supreme
court the original finding was upheld
and the higher tribunal took special
note of the fact that the horseman
had violated the road rules, as con-
sequence of which, It was set up by
the autoist the accident occurred
But the supreme court reasoned that
the horseman did this "in time Of
danger" holding the autoist respon-
sible for placing him in the danger.
AOA Nh0 Vi dulOUlODllGS
over the country the comparative alb
sence OF such accidents might easily
seem remarkable Yet there are
times when the man in the auto ap-
parently forgets that, with all the
rights he has to the road, the horse
came a long time before he did and
has equal rights, to say the least.
Furthermore, the higher rate OF speed
Of the auto as compared with the
horse would seem to throw upon it
the greater responsibility. ItNis also
dificult to control some horses
brought into close quarters with
autos. No doubt most careful auto
lists realize all this and try to guard
against accidents, but it does no harm
now and then, where such accidents
occur, to call them to public mind, II
for no better reason, merely as warn
ings. They may help those autoists
who really make a serious EFFORT to
keep within speed limits and avoid
mishaps.
