From the Pioneer:
On the night of the 4th, during
the electrical storm which prevailed
throughout this region, lightning
struck the home of Dougal Mclean
at Slowbridge. Mr.. Mclean was
away from home at the time. and
Mrs. Mclean was at home alone
with her three small children. The
bolt came down through the roof,
splirtered trunk and set fire to the
clothing on a bed nearby. Mrs. Nc
Lean was stunned, but was not rem
dered unconscious, and although she
saw the bed clothing on fire and
realized the necessity of immediate
action, she could not move muscle.
Fortunately the fire smouldered
slowly and in a minute or two she
recovered sufficiently to gain the
control of her body and put the
flames out before it did much dam.

ELECTRIC SHOCKS.
They Rarely Kill at Once, and Prompt
Treatment Is Imperative.

They Rarely Kill at Once, and Prompt
Treatment Is Imperative.
In letter to the London Lancet
DR.. Reginald Morton, president Of
the section of electro therapeutics,
Royal Society of Medicine, says
there are few medical men and still
fewer laymen who know how prop
erly to deal with a case of electric
shock.
"There are" he says, "only two
fundamental facts that need be i'm
pressed upon the minds of every
one. The first is that death from
electrical shock is only an apparent
death at first, and, secondly, what
ever the conditions or severity of
the accident, there is practically al
ways a time, varying from a few
minutes upward, during which it is
possible to resuscitate the victim
by artificial respiration if resorted
to at once.
$50 important is it to commence
artificial respiration quickly that it
is the first duty of the bystander to
see to this before everything else.
He must not leave the victim to
summon medical aid-it may be too
late by the time the doctor arrives
but he should send for medical
assistance if there is any one else
present.
eff the victim has fallen clear. of
electrical contact first aid may be
given at once, but if he remains in
contact with the circuit the first
step is to get him free. This is
dangerous to the rescuer unless care
is taken, but the necessary precau-
tons are simple enough for any
voltage likely to be encountered by
the public, the highest being that
used for railways and tramways,
about 600 volts.
eff, then, the victim remains in
contact with the circuit his body
must not be touched by the rescuer,
but the latter may pull him out of
contact by hauling on the clothing,
or he may take off his own coat, in
sert his hands in the sleeves and
then handle the victim with little or
no risk to himself. Almost any
article of clothing or material may
be used, provided it is dry and of
moderate thickness.
"Artifcial respiration must be
persevered with for at least two
hours, or until the patient revives.
In many cases it may be only few
minutes. After return to conscious
ness complete rest is essential for
day or two, and under no circum-
stances must the man be allowed to
return to work at once, as he may
wish to do if the shock has been a
light one. With the prompt appE-
cation of first aid almost every vic
tim can be revived"

POLICY ON PosTMAsTERs.

The policy announced by Postmaster
General Burleson that efficient post
masters will be allowed to serve out
their terms, is one that will be received
by Democratic aspirants with dismay,
and by the present Republican IN
cumbents with complatency that can
not be disguised. 1t is quite possible
that the announcement of this policy,
Joined to other indications showing
that this is not to be a "spoils' ad
ministration, is what has warmed the
heart of the Smoot organ Of this city
to the point of almost claiming for
itself progressive policy practically in
support of President Wilson g admins
tration. The Federal bunch organ here
has been cuddling up to the Wilson ad-
ministratiou in way that is quite sur
prising when one remembers the shock
ing depravity which it exhibited to-
wards Mr.. Wilson when he was a can
dldate for the Presidency. 1t would
take no denial from him of the charges
made by the Los Angeles man that he
had in the Princeton University de-
clared that the laboring class should be
world and be made practically servants
to the educated and wealthy. That
charge was made distinctly from Los
Angeles, was telegraphed all over
the country, and drew from Mr.. Wilson
a specific and absolute denial. Every
decent newspaper in the United States
that denial as conclusive; but
that denial only spurred the Federal
bunch organ here to greater efforts in
behalf Of the lie and to bigger type
and display in repeating it. No
credence whatever was given by it to
Mr.. Wilson s. denial but il insisted that
he was lying in denying the Los An
geles story.
And now that organ has the gall to
come out intimating its support Of
President Wilson IS policy as to Office
holders as progressive and its ad-
miration for his course as President
in this matter. This admiration, this
ntimation of acceptance of the pro-
gressive policy of the Democratic party
as excmpli6ed in President Wilson IS
course is one Of the mysteries of the
lime, e1plainablo only on the hy-
Dothesis stated, viz, that it is so over
ioyed at the retention Of Republicans
N Office here that everything else can
be waved aside as OF no consequence.
Politics, and politics alone, is the key
note Of the policy of that organ; and
,fice olding is the great thing to be
considered in every question Of politics

NEwLANDs ON WATER CONTROL,

Senator Newlands of Nevada has set
forth his views upon "The Control of
Waterways" in the current number of
The Independent. 1t is very strong
article. While not claiming that the
control that he would urge to be under
taken by the National Government
would be complete remedy for such
foods as have recently afflicted Ohio
and Indiana, he does show that it would
necessarily mitigate such floods. and
that the benefits by way of preventing
loss would bo an economic advantage.
taking annual losses by floods in all
parts of the country, compared with the
price that it would be necessary TO pay
for the control of all the streams of the
United States; while the incidental ad
vantsges arising from the affording Of
power sites and the generation of elec-
trio power, tho reinforcement Of streams
by the release of the flood waters whom
the low water season comes, and the
advantage to the community in cheaper
freights through river navigation, all
would be additional points in favor of
the plan of control as compared with
the wretchedly destructive and waste.
full lack of control which now brings
such sorrow and disaster to the country
yearly, and in occasional years such sen.
sational devastation as has occurred the
present year.
Senator Newlands argues that while

loses sight of the fact that all such

customs duty must be applied upon

tailed and lahorious work, has been
finished, the ship gets certain amount
of money representing the difference
between the customs duty and the re-
bate that the Government provides for
imports in American ships, on the
various articles imported. The ship
gets the amount of the rebate, just as
it would get the amount Of the subsidy;
but to pay the same as subsidy would
be a comparatively simple, direct, and
economical process. To pay the rebate
is complicated, costly, and would be
certain TO foster innumerable disputes
and complaints. Still, if that is the
only way that the Democrats will agree
to subsidize American shipping, the
people Of the United States ought to
be willing to pay the additional clerk
age cost in order to get the substantial
benefits that would accrue

INTERURBAN FREIGHTs.

There was presented to the City Com
mission yesterday from the Utah Light
and Railway Company, a petition for
the according to this company on its
interurban lines, OF tho Same privileges
that are accorded to other intcrurban
lines; that is, the privilege of hauling
in to the city from the farming com
munities of fruits, vegetables, poultry,
poultry products, dairy products, and
mail and express matter, to be de.
livered in suitable cars for the purpose,
at its old car barns on Second East
street, between South Temple and First
South streets.
The argument in favor Of the grant.
ing Of such privilege is in this case
precisely the same as it was in the case
Of other interurban lines: that is, that
such freight. much OF which depends
upon its freshness, will be delivered
into the city quicker, more cheaply,
and in better condition than IL hauled
in by wagon. The argument is con
vincing, and the other interurban lines
having been accorded this privilege,
there would seem to be no reason why
it should be denied to the Utah Light
and Railway company.
The advantages to be derived by the
people Of this city from fresh and
plentiful supply Of these products from
the farms that are within easy reach
of these interurban lines, are so
manifest that it Is idle to oppose them.
These arguments were convincing in
obtaining for the other interurban lines
the privilege of handling and deliver
ing such light freights. The same is
true with respect to the Utah Light
and Railway Company's application
for the like privilege.
Since there is no valid reason that
can be offered against the extension of
this privilege to the Utah Light and
Railway Company, we presume that
there will be no difficulty or delay
in the favorable action of the CITY
Commission upon this application. We
may add that we trust that every in.
terurban line that is TO be built will
be given the like privilege, for it is un-
questionably in the line Of public utili.
ties and to the advantage Of the in
habitants of this city. Quick, con-
venient, aud cheap communication and
delivery between the producers and the
consumers form the great desideratum
OF modern economic life. To promote
these is to the advantage of both the
producer and the consumer, and every
facility that is extended towards help.
ing on in this good cause is to the ad-
vantage Of the community.
