der and Allen of the mining de-
partment. The First Aid work Is
given by Mr.. Schofleld, an expert
IN that line, who travels with the
government car and assists IN
training the students how 10 ap-
ply bandages properly to any part
OF the body of an injured person.
how to stop bleeding, how to adj
minister artificial respiration, and
how to apply temporary splints TO
broken bones; in snort how TO
take care of any injury until the
patient can receive the services OF
a doctor.
Mr.. Chisholm is in charge of he
rescue WORK, which consists prin
cipally in acqrainting the student
with the use OF the Draeger Oxy-
gen Breathing Apparatus, for use
in poisonous or smoky atmosphere
The apparatus weighs about forty
pounds and is carried on the back
and chest. The impurities ex-
hailed from the lungs are absor bed
by a caustic potash chamber,
while pure oxygen from small
cylinder is constantly added to
take the place of that used in the
lungs. The nitrogen, necessary
for breathing is taken in by deep
breath just before closing the ap-
paratus and is used over and over
The machine is entirely self con-
tanned and a rescuer can remain
for two hours at a time in the
most poisonous fumes or gas.
About eighty students from the
the Junior and Senior class have
received the First Aid and Rescue
Work instruction.
Saturday afternoon a demon stra-
ton of life saving in mine fires
or explosion was given at the
School of Mines tunnel. Dense
fumes of powder poured from
the tunnel as the students,
wearing the oxygen helmets went
in aud rescued supposed victims
and then gave them First Aid
treatment on the outside.
In the afternoon, ten teams,
each one of which consisted of a
captain, four assistants and a
patient, competed for the prize, a
silver loving cup. presented by
DR.. Anderson. The patiert was
assumed to have injuries consist
ing of a broken thigh bone on
the right side. compound frac-
ture on the left leg, with a sew
cred artery, and a fracture of
the upper arm. The team was
required to dress the wounds,
put on splints for the fractures,
treat the shock caused by the in
juries and then carefully place
the patient on a stretcher and
carry him inside.
The value of this kind of work
to student cannot be over esti-
mated. The fact that mine eper-
ators all over this country in the
coal and metal mines are giving
such instruction free to their en-
ployees indicates how much. its
Importance is realized. The res
cue apparatus has demonstrated
its usefulness many times in coal
mine explosions and in coal mine
and metal mine fires, and First
Aid work may save an injured

but on the farms and in the cit

George Miller who escaped from
the county Jail last week was ar
rested in Denver after having been
out of durance vile for about ten
days. His tramp through Clear
Greek and Gilpin counties was
one of hardship on account Of the
the SHOWS and cold weather. Add
ed to this were the bruises oc-
casioned by his efforts in crawl
ing out of hole in Jail that was
too small for comfort. He gave
as his reason for enduring these
trials was the desire to see his
wife who is sick and about to be-
come a mother according to Den

had only scanty clothing and no
money to help him to Denver and
was on the road about week.
He had secured work and was on
his way home when arrested. He
was taken to Georgetown on

w. H. Paulhamus, head OF the Puy-

ISOLATION has written a letter to the
public service commission thanking
the members for inducing the North
ern Express Company to cut its rate
on fruit to one half of the old rate. I'm
der the new tariff the express com
pany is to charge just one half Of the
commodity rate for shipments Of fruit
for canning purposes within rad
ius of one hundred miles of any can
merry in the State OF Washington, pro-
vided the freight service is inadequate
to handle the consignment. Senator
Paulhamus states that this new rate
means the saving of thousands OF dol
lars worth of fruit and vegetables
which were formerly wasted and in
this way not only the producer but the
cannery men and the general public
are all benefited.

Sometimes human friendships and
help and tenderness interpret the di-
vine. A young girl who was very i'll
and knew that she must die, was Wis
tied by Boston minister. In the
course of his visit he did little thing
which somehow helped to take away
the fear of death and taught her how
to take the comfort of a heavenly
Fathers kindness. He noticed how
uncomfortable she looked as she lay
propped up in bed. The mother was
not strong enough to lift her and ar
range the sagging pillows and smooth
the wrinkled sheet. Let me lift
you" he suggested, and holding her
clear of the bed, he made it easy for
the mother to make all smooth and
fresh and comfortable, so that when he
laid her gently down she fell asleep.
After that he sent nurse who cared
for her kindly till she died. A week
later, at the funeral, both the nurse and
the mother told him how, every day,
she had spoken Of the comfort and
peace his visit had brought her. To
be lifted up by some one so strong
that it seemed no strain,' she kept
saying, and to be laid back so gen.
tly!" At last the nurse read to her:
THE eternal God is thy refuge, and
underneath are the everlasting arms, "
and she smiled, for she understood.

Savior from sin. Come and worship

That the industrial insurance COM
mission would have to handle about
10000 claims for injuries per year was
the estimate made by the legislature
when the passage of the industrial in
surance law favored by Gov. Hay, was
under consideration. 1t is shown by
figures published by the claim agent
that the law went into effect Oct. /,
1911 and in the six months up to
March 81, 1912, there were reported
to the commission 4,529 accidents, of
which IS were death claims and one
was total permanent disability claim.
In 1910 of the cases the state has
made a complete settlement and in
867 the commission allowed monthly
payment. There are pending before
the commission at this time 1,149
claims, 10 claims have been rejected
and 81 are on the suspension list,
while no claims were filed or the claims
were waived in sci cases where acct
dents were reported.

Eessness Ia this country. Our leniency and
sympathy for the accused man has been taken
advantage of. Our policy that every man is
neld to be innocent until he has been proven
guilty has been abused. Human life is held
entirely too eheaply. Policemen are blamed if
criminals carry on their practices undetected
or are not captured when they are detected,
and they are criticised when they accidentally
rlI a fugitive who is about to make his
escape.
With the revelations Of the habits Of the
"gunmen," as brought out in the Becker
trial; with the young woman victim of White
Slavers taken to a woods near Bridgeport,
Conn, and deliberately murdered as a warn
ing to other victims of this nefarious traffic;
with crimes of this kind on the increase ev-
erywhere, it is high time we came to our
senses and, although deploring the accidental
shooting of any man, whether Il criminal OF
not, gave proper support to police officers
who are doing their duty to protect life and
property.
We must get back to respect for the law.
This is sadly lacking these days. If a few
criminals must be shot down in their tracks in
order to teach them that there is now a new
order of things, it should be done and society
should stand back of the policemen who do
the shooting. 1t is pretty certain that no per
son will be in danger of being killed by a po-
liceman if he is behaving himself and obey
ing orders. The Newark officer should receive
the commentator of the people of that city,
not the condemnation. 1t is safe to say that
when this man is restored to his position,
crooks and thieves will keep off his beat.
They will have a wholesome respect for this
officer. This is as it should be. With more

IN H FIGHT AGAIN.

Once more Colonel Roosevelt is In the
campaign. Shot down a week ago last Mon
day while starting for the Auditorium in
Milwaukee to make a speech, he was temper
ariIy disabled. Not for q moment, however,
did he give up the fight. Today with his
wound still sore, and carrying a 38-calibre ,hH11--
let in his breast, he has pitched into the tur-
MOL determined ttS5 -plre press home the issue as he
sees-its<
The colonel has made himself plain on ev-
cry issue Of the campaign. We all know where
he stands on the tariff, ON the trusts, conserva-
ton and on the other things. His particular
fight, however, is for what he has termed "hu-
man rights" He is endeavoring to uplift hui
mainly through the medium of politics. He
wants to place laws on the statute books of the
nation and ON every state that will protect the
working man and make the life of the labor
ing woman and girl much easier. Roosevelt
puts human rights above property rights. He
claims that this is the greatest issue now be-
fore the American people.
Every one, whether he agrees with Colonel
Roosevelt or not, ~rejoiees that he has so sue
c~essfully recovered from the attack made by
the would be assassin and that he is able to
resume the fight where he was so unceremoni-
ously interrupted. Whatever else we may
think of the colonel, we cannot help but admit
that he is game.

A S S

A Newark policeman shot and killed a man
who was running away after being command
ed to stop. The matter is causing consider
able comment in that city. Tn policeman,
who has been arrested and released under
bail on a charge of homicide, declares when
the fugitive refused to stop he fired to scare
him, but the bullet took fatal effect.
While we would not encourage reckless
shooting by policemen or anyone else, we be-
lieve that a little more effective work on the
part Of those who are looked upon as the
guardians of the peace would mean less reck-
less shooting on the part of the lawless ele-
ment. Once the criminals are given to under
stand that there will be no triaing with them
they are likely to be a little more careful
how they act.
The limit has about been reached for law
