On March Is last fire in New York
shirt waist factory burned l47 girls TO
death. The building was constructed
OF inflammable material. The exits
were wholly inadequate. One of them
was locked.
The grand jury held the employers
of the victims for trial on the charge
OF manslaughter. The indictment was
not general. Itcovered only the death
of single girl, who was found near a
door on the ninth floor. The trial has
resulted in acquittal of the defendants.
This need not end the proceedings,
There are l46 other deaths, upon any
one OF which second prosecution may
be founded. There is, somewhere
criminal responsibility for this terri
BILE loss of life. 1t ought to be fixed.
When working girls, too young to ex-
ercise any judgment as TO their own
safety, are burned in an inAammabe
building like rats in a trap, nine floors
above the ground, it is no "act Of
God" 1t is the criminal carelessness
OF man. And that carelessness, in the
interest of imperiled workers who
have not yet burned to death, ought
10 be punished.

THURSDAY, JAN. 4, 1912.

In general the condition of the coal
mining industry in the Appalachian
fields in 1911 was far from prosperous,
according to statement issued by the
United States Geological Survey. This
was due to overproduction and depress-
ed prices.
1t is believed that the production of
bituminous coal in Pennsylvania de-
creased about three per cent as com
pared with the record Of 1910. In
West Virginia the output was approx
mately the same as in 1910, while there
was a tremendous slump in coke pro-
duction. This despite the fact that
there was no serious labor troubles and
no complaints of a shortage of cars.
In Alabama the tonnage of coal mined
in 1911 was about 10 per cent short OF
that OF 1910. 1t is estimated that the
decrease in Tennessee was about the
same. The biggest drop Of all was in
Ohio, where the output is anywhere
from 10 to Is per cent short of that of
1910. This is due in part TO the stimu-
la.ion OF production in 1910 by reason
OF the long-dra wn-out strike in the
coal fields of Illinois.

Senator La Toilette made several
speeches in Ohio last week and told
what progressive Eepublicanism" has
done for his home state, Wisconsin;
what the "progressives" would do for
the country; how to control the trusts
and monopolies: how the progressive"
movement would restore self-govern-
ment to the people, and how the tariff
should be treated to reduce the high
cost of living.
Well, La Toilette assumed the duties
of the Office OF governor Of Wisconsin
in 1901. The disbursements from the
general fund in the state treasury in
that year were S2,SS2,65S The dis
bursements from the general fund for
the year ending June 30, 1911, ten
years later, we're so,4a, GJ7. Under

ernment has been destroyed instead Of
restored, as we are practically now
governed by commissions. A few
years more of progressive Republic

all the people have left.

Repeated Sermons.

The prejudice against the repetition
of sermons is not universal. A good
book repays re-reading and a good
sermon should be all the more valuable
on second hearing. Dr.. John Watson
clan Maclaren'D openly repreached
his sermons when minister Of Seton
Park, Liverpool. and found that his
congregation approved OF the prac.
tice. They insisted, however, that the
repetition should be exact, and were
impatient Of variations. In his Life
of the preachernovelist, Sir William
Robertson Ncholl tells how on one
occasion, after listening to repeat
ed sermon. In which occurred a
smile OF a pool. one OF the congrega-
ton said to DR.. Watson: Last time
you described It as 'turgid pool, and
| was 30 afraid you were going to use
some other adjective, and that~Sould
have spoiled the whole picture.
was so thankful when you said 'turgid'

For the first fifteen minutes Melita
had miserable time. She was angry
with the man at her side. He had no
right, she argued to herself, TO treat
poor young woman trying to earn
her bread and butter in a perfectly
honest way as he had treated her In
the afternoon. and then to treat his
dinner partner. just because she had
on pretty dress and looked as II she
had never done anything more siren
uous that eat chocolates and do en-
broidery-Melita knew that she did
not look "overbearing" or 'mannish"
AS he was treating her now.
But gradually her stubborn dislike
wore off, and she acknowledged to
