HUDSON MAXIM
POLITICS IS
UnSkiIIed Men Get Jobs Of
Inspecting Dangerous
Work, He Says.

TT UDSON MAXIM, the explosives
= expert, blames politics, among
other things, for the high
death and accident rate on
the new Catsklll aqueduct, in New
York, and similar big engineering
works. 1t has been reported that there
have been 1874 violent deaths and 6,217
serious injuries in two years on the
aqueduct. A large proportion of these
accidents were due to blasting.
Mr.. Maxim maintains that high ex-
plosives are made so safe today that
there is no necessity for loss of life or
injury from their handling and use.
Were there proper inspection, he says,
life would be as safe for blasters in
this country as 1t Is abroad.
But there is not, he says, adequate
inspection in the United States. The
inspectors jobs go to friends Of poll
ticians instead of to trained experts.
"By the employment Of suitable safe
ty devices many lives can be saved in
all engineering enterprises said Mr..
Maxim to reporter recently. Never
theless, the toll of life must always be
great. 1t is a necessary concomltant Of
the conquest Of the earth. Just the
same as in war, conquest has always
cost lives.
Napoleon said at Eylan, when one
Of his marshals remarked on the tre-
mendOus loss Of life, that one cannot
have an omelet without breaking a
few eggs. Similarly, In building an
aqueduct like chat upon which New
York is now engaged 1t is impossible
to prevent the loss of very many lives.
Fatalities In Panama.
ut was estimated that in building
the Panama railroad the loss from
accident and disease was one man for
every sleeper in the road.
'In explosives manufactures and in
tunnel work and every engineering
work where high explosives are EN-.
ployed the lives Of many careful men
are often sacrificed by a single care.
less man. In gunpowder factories EN-.
ployers try to weed out the reckless

"a coal dealer was once censured by

"That means good-by to the bull moose
party" remarked Democratic senator
when the test vote was announced in the
Senate last week, by which, with the aid
of a Progressive Republican, the Demo-
Gratis defeated the effort for open COM
mittee hearings on the tariff bill.
He went on to explain his remark In
this wise: 1.-THE next campaigns, congress
sional and national, will be fought out on
the tariff If our tariff legislation works
out i'm it's practical business effect as We
believe it will, We will win and remain
in power The Democratic party will be
the exponent of low revenue tarift.
1.-The old line Republicans will stand for
a protective tariff If business goes
wrong under our new law, the old line
Republicans will benefit. Therefore, II
looks to me as if the fight must of ne
cessity be between the high and low
tariff men.
IF such is to be the issue the Bun
Moosers have no goods to offer. On the
tariff question they are neither flesh
fowl nor good red herring. They will be
shooting at the sky, calling attention &c
a lot of progressive principles for which
we already stand and for which we stood
long before the Progressives tagged on
while the country will be talking tariff
and the two old parties will be lining III

clergyman in regard to sickness of one OF
his children from which quote as follows:
'Our two-year-old baby was very sick
at two different times and we came near
losing her. We had the best doctors,
butthey did not know what the trouble
was: In the first sickness she had high fever
for several days, and the doctor said il acted
lkescarlet fever, but as there were no other
cases he did not think it could be. After
wards she broke out in rash all over her
body. The last sickness was similar and
the doctor was puzzled. She was very
nervous and we feared we would lose her.
Your DIR. True's Elixir was recommended,
and after two days use she passed several
worms from two to three inches in length,
and is now we'll and strong and sleeps at
nights withoutfrettng, tossing and starting
in fright as she did formerly.

An article of much interest. in view
of the startling growth of this move-
ment is Carlyle Ellis story in Every

Maine of greater interest, perhaps,
to the people of Augusta is the work
of Herman Il. Mansur of this city who
supplied the excellent photographs
which are used TO illustrate. Splen-
did action pictures of swimmers are
shown and the outdoor life whole-
somely depicted. Indoor scenes and
fiashlight photographs are included,
also.
Says Mr.. Ellis in spots of his story.
There remains a problem. The
camps of known delight are over
whelmingly numerous in these days.
How choose? We glance again at the
staggering pile of booklets. Yet these
are from but few of the three or
four hundred private camps, and there
are, besides, all the hundreds under
the auspices of the Y. M. c. A. and
the boy scouts. Almost all the book

I'm southern Maine is a veritable
swarm. Evidently this is the hub of

''Of course not all camps are eff
ficient or successful. With fees of
from one hundred and fifty to two
hundred and twenty-five dollars for
each child, and a season of but eight
or ten weeks, the possibilities of large
profit are a tempting bait for. the mer-
