STILL DEAF.
That the reacticnaries in the Sen
ate are still deaf to the voice of the
people is evidenced by the fact that
the Lorimer committee, the majority
of whom are last ditch standpatterS
and Tories, has once more whitewash-
ed the Chicago boss. If the people Of
the United States could go to the
polls and vote on the question of
keeping LorimeT in the Senate the
only ones who would vote for Lori
mer are his personal jobholders and
henchmen, and the tariff trust barons
who need him in their business. More
than 80 per cent of the country's
ninety-two millions would be against
his retention.
Yet the Senate reactionaries are
deaf to the protests against him;
blind to the proven shame of his cleo
ton, and dumb when pressed to say
the word that would send him back
to the oblivion where he belongs.
HEYBURN'S REPEATER.
Senator Hepburn, of Idaho, has
made three separate attempts this
winter to have the Canadian Recipro-
city act repealed. Inasmuch as this
act was not accepted by Canada,
there is no earthly use in repeating
it. But Hepburn has a reason.
Along with the Reciprocity act Con-
gress passed an act to remove the
duty ON wood pulp. This became ef-
fective with the passage Of the Reel
procity act, and did not require the
concurrence Of Canada. To repeal tn
whole act would also repeal this pro
vision, hence the paper trust Is anx-
ious to have the Reciprocity act re-
pealed. Newspapers have, from time
to time, fully demonstrated Heyburn's
uselesSness. Hence he Is anxious to
get even." At least that is the
charitable explanation OF his activity.

point out than any one of several neg
lected factorsa polluted water supply,
a filthy milk supply or an inadequate
system of garbage disposal-may be re-
sponsble for the prevalence of typhoid
fever in any civilized community; that
tuberculosis thrives where insanitary
tenements, factories and workshops are
permitted; that typhus fever is found
where large numbers of persons are
crowded together under insanitary con-
ditions; that yellow fever is the price
paid for stagnant mosquito breeding
waters, and that the removal of all these
causes, as soon as they become clearly
evident. is duty of society and not of
the medical profession alone. This fact,
clearly realized, says the Journal of
the American medical association, is
sufficient answer to the question, repeat
eddy and often insincerely asked: "If
physicians know how to save 100000
lives year in this country, why do they
not 90 ahead and save them, without
waiting for national department of
health?" The reply is obvious. Scien-
tific men can discover causes and devise
methods of prevention. Only the people
themselves can save themselves from the
results of their own sanitary sins or ig
norance. Such graphic presentations of
our present knowledge regarding disease
and its causes as the exhibit displayed
in Washington are of the greatest value
as public educators.

The Hygienic Exhibit and It's Lessons.

In the hygienic exhibit made in con-
nection with the international congress
on hygiene and demography at Wash
ington was one of unusual interest and
suggestiveness to the thoughtful obsery-
er. Probably never before has it been
made 50 apparent that the control and
suppression of preventable diseases is
becoming more and more a social rather
than a scientific problem. In former
generations, the relations between ply
stefan and patient were almost entirely
individual Only with the development
of modern medicine has either the ilidi-
vidual physician or the combined pro-
fession attained distinct social function
and responsibility. In former genera
tions, owing to meagre knowledge of dis
eases and their causes, the social respon-
sibility for large share of humanity's
ills was not recognized. To-day, as soon
as science discovers the cause of a dis
ease, its method of Transmission and the
means for its prevention, the disease
ceases to be a problem from a scientific
point OF view. 1t then becomes an adj
ditional social responsibility. since, in
the majority of cases, our recently as
quired knowledge shows that prevent
able disease exists largely because of
social sins. and that their prevention in
wolves the reformation of some long
standing evil. As illustrations of this
general principle it is only necessary to

SHOOTING OFF THE SOLID.
Pernicious Practice Condemned by Uni
ted States Geological Survey.

Much has been said and written in
condemnation OF the practice, too prev
alent in some of the coal-mining states,
of shooting off the solid"-th is, OF
blasting down the coal without having
previously undercut or sheared it, or
making the powder do the work" Ac-
cording to Edward w. Parker, the geo.
logical survey, all authorities agree that
the practice is reprehensible in the
highest degree. The heavy charges OF
powder produce an unnecessary guam
tity of fine coal and render the lump
coal so friable that it disintegrates in
handling and transportation. The
quantity and quality of the merchant
able product are thereby materially re-
duced. These reasons in themselves
are sufficient to call forth the con
demnation OF the practice and the de-
mand for its abolition, but a far
stronger reason is the increased LA
bility to accident in a vocation that
is hazardous enough when all preca,l-
tions possible are taken to promote
safety The use of inordinate charges
of powder weakens the roof and sup
porting pillars and failure to undercut
or shear the coal increases the danger
of windy shots, the cause of frequent
dust explosions. Falls of coal and
roof in 1911 caused almost one haa t /
OF the 2,7e0 or so deaths in the coal
mines of the United States, and ex
plosions caused IA per cent. The
deaths from the more prolific cause,
however, usually happen singly and ARE
not reported outside of the localities /
where the accidents occur, whereas the
less frequent explosions involving the
deaths of tens of hundreds of men are
given prominence in the daily and tech.
meal press.
