ANOTHER MINE DISASTER.

Twenty-three miners have been en-
tombed in OFT mine No. 20 of the Davis
Coal & Coke company at Elk Garden,
West Virginia, 40 miles south of Cumber-
land, Md. About half of the men are
married and have families. All hope has
been abandoned of saving the miners,
as the mine is filed with sitting
smoke. The bureau of mines have dis
patched two men with oxygen helmets
to the scene. The future attention of
the government must be redoubled to
prevent the repeated occurrences OF
these terrible catastrophies.

explosives; even a high school kid, or
two for a nickel bad man" ought to
know enough to keep such things out
of sight.
And by the way, dear reader, has 1t
ever occurred to you that it is awful
easy to find dynamite when you know
just where to look for it? Has it also
occurred to you that nobody can find 1t
quite so easily as the fellow who put 1t
there? This was demonstrated very
clearly in the Moyer-Haywood-Pe Pettibone
case, and If ever a gang of cutthroats
was thoroughly discredited by the out
come of court trial, it was MCFARLAND
and his criminal outfit on that occasion.
1t occurs to the writer that the detec-
tives are not so very smart after all; In
fact that they are decidedly lacking in
originality. 1t is now more than five
years since they fixed up the Harry Or.
chard job, and one would think that in
that time If they possessed average in.
telligence, they might have thought OF
something new, instead of working the
same five-year-old gags on the public.
The public may be gullible. but it is
hardly gullible enough to swallow the
dose which Mr.. Burns has prepared for
it. The general verdict will be chest.

RAILWAY MAIL CARS.

Two legislative acts relating to the
mail cars in use by the railways will be-
come operative next July and on JULY 1,
1916. The first law going into effect pro-
vides that after July l, this year, the
government will not accept or pay for
the use of wooden railway mail cars
used between steel cars, or between a
locomotive and a steel car. The other
act, which in effect will compel the use
of steel mail cars on all main lines, pro-
vides that after July /, 1916, the railway
companies shall not be allowed to use
wooden mail cars in trains in which a
majority Of the cars is composed OF steel.
The railway mail clerks have for years
made vigorous protests to the govern
ment against the use of wooden cars.
They have insisted that the wooden cars
we're the most dangerous in the trains,
the balance of the train usually being
made up Of steel cars, the result being
that In any wreck the mail cars were
splintered and their occupants almost
inevitably killed or wounded.

FARR's MAIDEN EFFORT.

Congressman Farr, member of the
Typographical union. made his first ad-
dress to the house of representatives on
the Canadian reciprocity treaty. IRE
spective of whatever views may be held
on this question he made creditable ad-
dress and received marked attention for
new member. His argument was clear
and showed a grasp of national affairs
that would do credit to many Of the
older members. He favored the meas
ure. and in its handling gives assurance
that when labor measures are under cen
sideration he will prove valuable ally
to the cause of labor.

A detective is a professional liar. His
business is to make a case by manufac-
turing evidence against the accused,
tiers not There should be law prohib-
iting all detectives from testifying in
any court on the ground that their busi-
ness, being deception, mendacity and
fraud, and their methods unblushing
falsehood and misrepresentation, disqual-
ifies them as witnesses. Clarence Dar-
row said in one of the famous Idaho
trials that "a detective is living lie, "
and Darrow was right.
A juror in a case where detective is
permitted to testify should pay no more
attention to his testimony than he would
to the yelping of cur dog on the street,
and that is the conclusion that the aver
age juror has about arrived at. McPar-
land was made SO conscious of it that
after the first Steve Adams trial in Idaho
he never offered himself as a witness in
the other trials, but contented himself
by relying upon the suborned and per-
jured testimony of the crooks whom he
had purchased for the occasion. Hard
ened criminal as he is, he did not relish
the idea of Darrow, Richardson or Hilton
getting a chance to grill him on the wit
ness stand. Mr.. Burns may profit by
Macs experience; if not, he will get ex-
perience plenty of his own before he
is through with the job he is now pulling
chance at Burns on the witness stand,
it would be worth trip to Los Angeles

friends of labor" the Democrats, ma
jority in the Legislature, does anyone
suppose that a whole session would have
been frittered away in a fight between
ex-senator Patterson and Mayor Speer ?
Well, hardly. Those Socialists would
either have done something, or compelled
an adjournment early in January, and
stopped the useless waste of the state
funds.
But the working people evidently like
the present way of doing things, for less
than 1000 of them voted for the only
union labor mems ticket in the field, and
the rest have got what they voted for,
and are in poor position to kick over

So it seems we have another kidnap-
ing affair on hand. 1t is the same old
play, staged in the same old way. The
big detective, seeking for glory and
Doodle; the lickspittal governors, issu-
ing and honoring acquisitions in secret;
the arrests on Saturday night, after
courts are closed; prisoners rushed to
the railroad train and hustled out of the
state before appeal can be made to the
courts, and fiambouyant announcement by
the aforesaid big detective that he has
clear case against the accused.
But that is not all: A confession has
been made and proclaimed to the world
by another Harry Orchard. Whether
Rev. Father Burns talked Bible and re
ligion, as Rev Father MCFARLAND did,
does not yet appear. but if we are pa
tient we will get the details in due time.
