WILSON AND CLARK

The democratic national convention
reassembled at Baltimore at IL O'Clock
today and resumed balloting where
they left off Saturday night There is
practically a deadlock between the
Clark and Wilson forces. Wilson is
gradually gaining and Clark is cores
pondingly losing, but it seems appar-

range of possibilities. The result of

DEATH RATE
IN THE MINES

Washington, July 1-That the high
tide in the terrible death rate in
American coal mines has been reach
ed and passed is the confident belief
of the officials of the United States
Bureau of Mines.
Figures issued today by the bureau
show that 2,517 men were killed in the
mines last year as against 1884 FOR
1910. This shows a reduction in the
number of lives lost of 917 in one
years time. The death rate in 1910
was 3.91 men in every / 900 employed.
The rate in 1911 was 3.74.
Compared with 1907, the darkest
year in the history of American min
ing, 9,197 men lost their lives, 1911
shows decrease of $50 in the num-
Der of men killed 1t was following
the record of this year that congress
authorized the government to begin
investigations looking toward redua-
tion in the death rate and this was
supplemented in 1910 by the creation
of the Bureau of Mines
Discussing the death statistics of
the coal mines, DR. Joseph A. Holmes,
director of the Bureau of Mines said .
while these latest mortality statis-
tics in the coal mines of the country
show slight improvement over the pre-
yious years, the United States has still
no record to be proud of. In spite of
the progress we have made, we are
still far below the standard of safety
that We ought to have reached.
1T is of course comforting to know
that for each year since 1907 there
has been decreasing number of men
killed for every million tons of coal
mined, and that for every life lost we
have each year taken out of the earth
more tons of coal This is an i'm
provement in the right direction. |
hope that within the next year or two
we will see as great an improvement
in the reduction OF the number Of men
killed per 1000 men employed.
THE Bureau is cooperating with
the state mine inspectors, the mine
workers and with the mine operators
in an endeavor to solve many of the
different problems connected with the
coal mining industry in this country
In this effort all the above forces are
cooperating in good spirit in the de.
termination to bring about better con.
ditions. In this cooperative effort
there is also serious need of the states.
men. No branch of industry in this
country is on so bad an economic basis
today as is the coal mining industry
and this industry can never be plac
ed on satisfactory basis until
through important legislative changes
improvement in this economic basis is
made possible"
Itwa early in 1908 that the federal
government began its investigation ot
the causes OF mine disasters following
the climax of accident in 1907. The
record for 1907 and the following years
is as follows:
1907-Thirty-one hundred and ninety
seven men killed. or 4SS in every l,O0C
employed
1908 = Twenty-four hundred ant
forty-nine killed, or S.64 in every 1,O0C
employed.
19O9-Twenty-six hundred and sixty
eight killed, or 4 in every 1000 EN-
ployed.
1910 Twenty-eight hundred anC
thirty-four men killed, or 3.91 in every
1000 employed.
1911-Twenty-five hundred and sew

eyes could flash with scorn, yet be-
tray that sense of humor so innate in
his race. His features were regular
with remarkable expression of kind
ness, more apparent than the power
of intellect and will that lay behind
them. His voice, perhaps his most at
tractive gift, was deep and melodious.
It could thunder forth imprecations
which stirred his hearers to the
depths or whisper an appeal full Of
yearning and pathos. 80. One Of
his speeches at this time has been de-
scribed as marking an epoch in the
history of ireland. His words were
unlike any that had been uttered
previously. Often had the people been
stirred to deeds of violence in defense
of their wrongs, and to seek redress
by means of lawlessness. But O'Con-
nell struck a new chord and taught
new lessons. Oppressed they, were in
deed, he told them, and weighted with
grievances almost intolerable; but he
bade them bear them like men and
seek redress only through the chan
nels of law and order. He was, in
deed, an agitator for law and right"

Mother Dear Is GROWING Old.

When I note the gathering wrinkles,
And the hair SO silvery white;
Note the steps each year grow
slower
Ihat were once so quick and light;
Note the eyes a wee bit DINNER,
And the carriage not so bold;
Then whisper, oh, so family,
Mother dear is growing old"
Surely I must be mistaken.
Note her nimble fingers fly:
In and out her needles darting;
Surely I've no need to sigh.
Hear her laugh so free and hearty
Makes you think of songs you've
Full of thrills and thrills and high
notes
Dear old Mothers growing young.
Young or old 1t makes no difference.
For we love her just the same.
Mother-Mother-de old Mother.
Surely ne'er was sweeter name!
AS the days pass by so quickly
May each one be brighter still
May your heart grow ever younger
AS your life with love we fill.

DANIEL o'CoNNE
What an Oxford Convert Says of the
Liberator,

Among the recent monographs con-
tributed to the Catholic Truth Society
publications in London, is one on
O'Connell from the pen of an English
writer, an oxford man and a convert.
In dealing with the life of O'Connell,
this writer, who may be said 10 be
above suspicion, has the following re-
marks to make about a man whom
Englishmen are not prone to regard
with especial favor:
PATRIOTISM" he writes, Gin O'Con-
nell was the very breath of life. IT
absorbed every other interest, Danish
ed every other claim. In his love Of
country, there was nothing feigned or
unnatural; he was always consistent,
honest and sincere. Even his enemies
and they were many, for he could
truthfully speak for himself as the
best abused man living - could And
nothing in him that was mean or pal
try. That he was vain and Iiven to
exaggeration, too ready to indulge in
violent and abusive language, may
perhaps be said of him, and it is all
the more to be regretted, for such
failings increased the already strong
prejudice in England against Irish
nieh. He may also be accused of
carelessness in money matters; but it
was fault common in his country
men, and thought less Of by them
than by Englishmen. But his gravest
faults are thrown into the shade by
his brilliant and sterling qualities and
virtues. Endowed with rare gifts OF
intellect and extraordinary powers.
both as speaker and leader, he
used them exclusively to obtain JUS
tice, to maintain peace, property and
law. His love of Justice was too
broad to be confined to his own coun-
try; 1t was universal, and any dis
play of intolerance aroused his SYM
pathy for the oppressed. He pleaded
for India, for the slave as we'll as the
Catholic, and for whatever might
bring freedom and happiness to man
kind in general. Unbending in pr:n-
clple. he did not decline to change his
means or to yield n matters open to
discussion. Never did he bear mall

ice, even against the most bitter oil
his foes. In private life he won the
affection and confidence of all who
knew him. His boundless good hum
or, his store of wit and ready hospi-
tally gained for him many friends.
and none ever doubted his integrity.
He was strong, for he represented 81
nation; he was the voice of many suf-
ferers, the champion of right and Jus
tice. Ireland never had before, nor
will ever have again, greater or q
better chieftain than he whom she
glories in calling the Liberator."
1t is faith in something and enthusi-
asm for something that make life
worth looking at, the writer goes or.
IF this be so, then the life of OCon-
nell is most worthy of notice. He was
the most conspicuous man of his time
and country. His position was unique:
there never was before, and never will
be again anything at all resembling II,
and he has left mark upon the his
tory of Ireland which the ages can
not efface. In England he was derided
by those who did not understand nim
scorned by the prejudiced and feared
by many who recognized in him a
powerful representative of nation
long treated with injustice In Ire
land, on the other hand, he attained
height Of undivided popularity such
as none other has ever achieved. He
stood alone, not as the ruler of a par
ty to whom he could look to support
his demands; but as the leader Of
nation whose voice he had constituted
himself. BY the sheer force of his in
tellect and energy, he at length OBJ,
tanned hearing for his country, and
the Irish people gave him in return
unlimited authority and genuine af-
lection. The ministers of the Crown
cried Grattan, may perhaps at length
find out that it is not so easy to put
down forever an ancient and respect
fell to O'Connell. His country was
lying lifeless and without spirit; he
came to rekindle hope and life, by
uniting as far as possible Catholic and
Protestant in common cause, to Gre
ate q truer and deeper spirit of ma
tionalism than Ireland had yet known"
Proceeding, the writer says: From
the outset, O'Connell gave the keynote
of his policy, and ever adhered to It.
The passive 'dignified silence policy
of Keogh was swept away; henceforth
the war-cry was to be 'Agitate!' Ma
ture had especially endowed him with
gifts for his part. Standing almost
six feet in height and proportionately
broad. his appearance suggested both
power and dignity. His clear blue
