81 FATALITIES

Employees In Long Time

Lansing, Mich. Nov. Is-Consttuc-

the month of October brought the tota
number of deaths due in Industrial ac-
tivity up To -, a higher average than

Construction work claimed six lives

cost four and electrical trades four
The copper mines took a toll of two

tomobile industry resulted in the death

Oriuin of "Yeqgman."

William A. Pinkerton introduced the word "yeggman' to the knowledge of a world above the gutter about dozen years ago in an address delivered to the National Bankers association. He establishes the word as existing in tramp and criminal dialect, therefore in police speech by evil associations. as indicative of a tramp who blows safes and postoffices with the aid of nitro-glycerin, which is known in the same dialect as the soup." On less sure ground MT. Pinkerton credits the name of an eponymic Johnny Yegg, puntatively the first or the foremost practitioner of the art.

ROOSEVELT BOLTS AGAIN.

We regret to report that there is a
split in the progressive party and
that Mr.. Roosevelt has bolted again.
His formal reputation in the Outlook
of the cubists and futurists makes 1t
more than doubtful that his bull
moose party can ever be kept to-
gether.
Although we agree with every
thing that Mr.. Roosevelt says about
the cubist and futurist pictures as a
"lunatic fringe" the fact remains
that these views of art are Identical
with Mr. Roosevelt's views of gov
eminent. The liberties that the
cubists and futurists take with form
and color and perspective are identf-
cal with the liberties that Mr.. Roose-
welt takes with courts and constitu-
tions. When he dismisses their
apologize with the contemptuous re-
mark that change may mean death,
not life, and retrogression. not de-
velopment. he joins the ranks of the
reactionaries. His language is as

A SIGN OF THE TIMES.

The proposed general strike in
Belgium calls to mind the industrial
disturbances in Europe within the
past two years. There occurred in
Britain the great dock and rail
strikes. labor troubles in France, in
Italy, and in the capitol of Austria.
There the labor clashes lead to bread
riots and for the first time since 1916
Vienna had to be declared under
martial law. In our own country we
have seen the /. w w. effects. es-
pecially at Lawrence and at the
present time in Dayton
The /. w. w. has predicted that
the time will come when there will be
national strike in some country.
and If the strikers do not persuade
the soldiery to lay down, they promise
the bloodshed as in the French revo-
luton. In Belgium it is the socialists
demand more equable suffrage But,
in any event, 1t is a sign of the
growth of radicalism and the tend
ency of masses to work in unit in
securing economic demands.

two to fourteen years with the recon-

GRATEFUL TO YOUNG MORGAN

Since young ]. Pierpont Morgan is
to take up the mantle of his late
father in the world of finance. Eng
land is hoping that he. too, Will sue
coed the late Mr.. Morgan in his effort
to collect the great art treasures of
the world and have them arranged
for the benefit of the people who wish
to see them. OF course London does
not expect to see much of the younger
Morgans in future. but it is under
stood that they will not dispose of the
palatial home of the later financier
which has long been one of the sights
of London. OF one thing the new
head of the Morgan family can be as
sured and that is. that he will always
find cordial welcome among the
English people who feel lasting
gratitude to his father for what he
did for the development of art in this
country.

A TERRIBLE INVENTION.

The range of modern inventions
seems to have about reached the
limit as far as danger is concerned.
A frightful addition has been made
to the efficacy of the revolver by a
French inventor. A small, but pow
erful electric light is attached to the
mechanism of a pistol of ordinary
size. By use of lenses and mirrors.
the glare of the circle of lights which
the lamp throws is bright enough to
De clearly seen in daylight against
so dark an object as a light colored
suit of clothes. Now the centre of
the circle of light, marked by a black
spot, by arrangement of the lenses.
is exactly the spot where the bullet
Will strike. Thus, all one has to do
IS to place the black centre of the
blazing circle of light over the heart
of an adversary and pull the trigger.
At night the light is shocking!y
strong. Experiment with the new
weapon show that perfect green
horns, who have never used a re-
volver in their lives, can shoot far
more accurately than experts using
an ordinary pistol. Up to sixty
yards one cannot miss a small bulls
eye, day or night, while extremely ac-
curate shooting is possible up to a
hundred yards. Think of q bandit
equipped with a weapon like this.

In his review of the case before the
jury Attorney Rapier of Gary said:

~ for this unfortunate affair where
1t belongs you would place it at the
door of the police of Gary who per-
init such places to continue in opera

eutor who does not do his duty"
Those who sat in the court room
and heard one witness after another
tell of the various phases of the
gambling business and not single
denial that such conditions exist were
appalled, at the open, brazen defiance
of the law that was revealed by this
case

Gary's black belt murders are no
longer a problem. They are the iog.-
cal result of conditions as they exist
in Gary. This has been demonstrated
by the evidence which has been
brought out in the trial Just closed.
No further confirmation is needed.
