Belittlinc Ones Country.

With that magnificent contempt for his own
country which is the exclusive property of the
sefni-expatrfated American, MIR. Price Collier, in
the current issue of Scribner's, thus compares
the United States and Germany:
But in the nineteenth century, where does
the American of sober intelligence, If Lin
coin be omitted, find a match for Bismarck
as a statesman, Heine as a wit and song
writer, Wagner, Brahms and Beethoven as
musicians, Goethe as a man of letters and
poet leasing and W~inckelmann as critics,
Ffehte as a scholarly patriot, Hegel and
Kant as philosophers, Won Humboldt.
LdebiE. Helmholtz, Bansen and HaeckeI as
scientists, Moltke and Room as soldiers.
Ranke apd' Mommsen as historians, Auer-
hach, Spielhagen. Sudermann, Freytag,
Fritz Reuter- and Hauptmann as novel;
lists and dramatists, Krupp and Borsig as
manufacturers, and the Rothschilds as
bankers? Lincoln, Lee, Sherman, Jack
son and Grant may equal these men in their
own departments, but aside from them our
only superiority lies in our trust-and-tariff-
incubated millionaipes.
Let us go on to the twentieth century. What
living German statesmen can be compared with
w llson and Roosevelt and Bryan and Root
either for influence or mastery or intellectual
power What living German painter can be
compared with Sargent? What German archi-
tect ranks above McKim? What German in
dnstriai organization can he compared with
Standard Oil for imagination, scope and eff
fielency? What living German banker COM
fnands the power of j.. Piermont Morgan? What
German philosopher of the present day has
broken as much new ground as William James?
4shst living German historian is the equal OF
James Ford Rhodes?
What German inventor has contributed so
much TO modern civilization as Edison and Bell
ana the wright brothers? What German ply
slciau is performing a service for humanity
which surpasses that of Simon Flexner? What
German engineer has n record of achievement
Which equals thai of George W.. Goethals, who
is building the Panama Canal? What German
accomplishment in sanitation can be compared
with the miracles wrought by Colonel Gorgas
in the Canal Zone?
NO intelligent American would minimize the
debt that civilization owes to nineteenth century
Germany; but sneering at ones country and
ones fellow-countrymen is the cheapest and
shoddiest form of culture. New York World.

PRISON HORRORS

Albany, N. Y. Dec. a. "Stories of
torture to prisoners in the Middle
Ages sound like descriptions of luxur-
les in comparison to the details that
have been to some of the lives that
some of the prisoners in Sing Sing
live" was the statement recently
made by George w. Blake, special
commissioner appointed by Gov. Sui
ger to probe prison affairs. The inves-
tigator describes conditions as fright
full, and continues: The worst fea-
ture of the prison management cannot
bed iscussed in any public document,
but the subject is of vital importance

Greensburg. Pa, Dec. 4.-Children

are students in the public schools OF
Temfield Township, Westmoreland
County, according to report made
public. This is the county where the
long miners strike occurred and where
for years foreigners have been almost
exclusively employed and where also
peonage was practiced, according to
testimony adduced before an -investiga-

COAL RECORD

Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 4-The pro-
ched 59,885,226 short tons, with val
ue at the mines of $7O,294, 1888. There
are 102 counties in Illinois. and coal
is mined in just one-half of them. The
coal formations underlie number of
other counties, the total productive
area occupying nearly three-fourths of
the entire State. The total coal area
is estimated at $3.50 square miles.
The biennial shutdown, which has be-
come a regular incident in the spring
of every even-nllmbered year, occurred
as usual in April. 1912, and while trade
conditions were not the best, the con-
troVersy between the United Mine
Workers and the operators was settled
the miners securing an advance of D
cents a ton, with work being resumed
after an idleness of from thirty to
sixty days. The increased labor eff
cheney just given out by the coal stat
istician of the United States Geolo-
gical Survey is exhibited by an aver
age output per man in Illinois in 1912
of 767 tons against 701 tons in 1911.
Illinois is in third rank among the coal
producing States, West Virginia hold
ing second place, with approximately
6, 100000 more tons mined. West Vir-
ginia, however, is favored by a lesser
labor cost. Illinois shares with the
other States in a decreased record of
coal mining in 1912, compared with
the proceeding year. According to the
statistics compiled by the United
States Bureau of Mines the number of
fatalities in and about the mines in
1912 was 159 against 172 in 1911. Only
three deaths were adue to- explosions
of gas and dust ~

personal violence on his own or the

have a further explanation of this
warning or threat, and if it be the lat

While in the Thompson shack, we
asked about the supplies which we un-
derstOod had been sent up from Foil
ansbee last week. 1t seems from
what we heard that officials of the
company had put the men who drove
the wagon to some inconvieAce in de-
livering them. We found that these
supplies were very much needed, and
that much more is needed as well.
The next cottage we entered was
occupied by family by the name of
Brown. Three rooms again, and
another family of seven. Here we
found Mrs. Brown, her mother-in-law
and. four children. The children were
all sick with the Group, and the mother
was SO hoarse that she could scarcely
speak above a whisper. The house was
warm, however. and a light lunch was
set out on the table. BY the way /
might say at this point that the peo-
pie all seem to have plenty to eat, ow-
