Nine Strikes and Explosions.

In the list Of demands made By
the coal miners upon their employers
nothing is said Of safer working con-
ditions and protection OF life. Yet
at the very time the demands are
made 100 or mere miners. scores Of
whom are dead. are entombed In an
Oklahoma mine.
Mining at best IL q hazardous oc-
eupation. but there is no question
that the hazard could be materially
reduced BY better systems than now

several hundred feet under ground
in constant contact with imminent
danger have right 10 demand every
possible facility for protection. and
n 10 one Of the anomalies Of the
situation that the unions have not
pressed this matter more than they
have.
The demands made by the miners
are these:
Ten cents ton increase for lump coal
and the mining Of all coal on q tonnage
basis.
Fewer instead Of eight hours a day.
Fire hours on Saturday instead Of
eight
Payday every week instead Of every
two weeks.
The prospects seem half way favor

then a strike may be necessary, but
the same forces that can effect terms

A MARRIED MANS THOUGHTS.

Detroit Free Press.
In the spring young mans fancy lightly
turns to thoughts Of love,
And blue-eyed damsel gets him when
the skies are soft above.
But q geezer that is married and has
passed the forty mark
Turns his thoughts to sordid duty.
when he hears the morning lark.
He is done with gentle signing and the
voice that whispers low,
All he thinks about is paying for gar
den rake and hoe;
To the hardware store he hurries, ana
before the day is through,
He has bought another hammer. nails
and paint and brushes too.
In the spring the married geeser nightly
wends his homsward way.
And he laden's down with baggage that
he's purchased through the day;
He has garden seeds and garden hose,
q nozzle. window screens.
A file, . saw. some chicken wire to train
his climbing beans.
A polish for the hardwood floors. soms
gilt for chandeliers.
some fertiliser. for his lawn, plane,
pair Of shears.
A carpet bester and a spade, tool for
snagging weeds.
Not mentioning the useless junk he only
thinks he needs.
And as he piods along his way We hear
him mutter low:
"Ali this I get because my thoughts
turned loveward years ago,
Oh. sentimental. iove-lorn youth, who
rave about n miss.
The time will come when every spring
Will see you doing this"

The Broken Rail Question.

The recent wreck OF passenger
train as the result of broken rail,
has attracted attention anew to the
question OF inferior steel rails and
the matter should not be dropped
until some satisfactory outcome Is
reached. The number OF wrecks from
defective rails is steadily increasing.
In 1902 there were seventy-eight de-
railments from this cause; in 1911
there were 24s. Yet today the 112-
pound rail is in use on some roads
and heavier ones on all than we're
used in 1909. The New York Cen
trails rails are mostly OF the 112-
pound type.
Twelve years ago the 6S-pound
rail was common. then came finally
the 9o-pound, and both were more
reliable. railroad men say. than the
l12-pound rail. Why? Because the
112-pound rail Is made Of cheaper
stuff? This is the opinion Of James
y. Hin and others who have made
a study Of the question. The steel
men reply that the traffic demands
today are proportionately so much
greater for the heavier rail that the
best material that can be put into
them win not be guarantee against
accident. That sounds like a poor
excuse. Rolling stock, OF course, Is
heavier and trains more numerous.
a condition resultant from the
natural growth Of the railroad busi-
ness. The steel mills must look out
for such conditions.
But here 10 the Railway Age
Gazette. an accepted authority. with
the asseveration that. "one road

sis Of over 500 rail failures found
that s5 per cent OF them would have

wording Of very strong statement.
The Age-Gazette adds: THE Steel

Democratic Ruction in Nebraska.

There is blood on the moon for
the democrats in Nebraska. and the
promise Of a real fight in the coming
primary for control of the national
convention delegation. There Is no
other way to eonstrue the def issued
by Senator Hitchcock except as
throwing of the gauntlet to de-
termine whether Mr. Bryan, and
Brother Charley" and Brother-in-
law Tommy" Allen constitute the
democratic party in this state. and
are to be seIf-yested with autocratic
power to designate who shall, or who
shall not. be commissioned to respond
to the roll call for Nebraska at Balti-
more.
Senator Hitchcock, through his per.
sonal organ, charges that the Bryan
bunch, while loudly prating about
letting the people rule" are de-
seeking to Illustrate and
overthrow the primary whose pur-
pose is to dethrone the bosses. and
enthrone the individual voter. The
senator further insists that this Is
but a second chapter OF the cam
paign OF two years ago in which Mr..
Bryan and his friends, finding that
they could not dictate platform and
bolted the ticket and put
themselves outside the party pale.
