The United States bureau of mines
Is about to investigate the conditions
under which a miner works, believing
that insanitary conditions which exist
hl some of the mines rs well as in
some Of the mining towns are factor

Ii intimated that these conditions not
Only unnecessarily cause the death OF
miners through disease, but they are
often responsible for accidents which
might not have happened If the miners
were in perfect health.
The bureau has organized what is
known as the mine sanitation section,
IN charge Of J. II. White. engineer.
The bureau hopes to bring about
progress by appealing to the miner, the
manager and the owner, showing that
all three can assist, and how all three
can be benefited by good sanitary con
ditions.
Pictures to Be Used.
II will reach the miner by means of
illustrated lectures moving picture ex-
hibits aud pictorial circulars. These
will show how sickness and suffering
are spread by careless habits and viii
drive home the Importance of personal
and household cleanliness. The bureau
will assist the managers by pointing
cut glazing sanitary menaces and by
showing methods and costs of abate-
Inent. 1t will describe in bulletins com

evils which follow in their wake. 1t

PEOPLE ARE BEHIND HEARNE.

That Mr. Laughlin and Mr.. Hearne
stand for different political ideas and
ideals is clear to any thoughtful OBJ
server of the course of events. The
Laughlin candidacy stands for free
forward movement in the great cam
palgn for larger measure of social
justice. The Hearne caadidacy is

old reactionary crowd of machine

men who never learn anything and

We can think of no statement that

in the foregoing, taken from an edi-

holding the job of State Historian
and Archivist at salary OF $4,000,
by appointment from Governor Hat
field, a Republican governor, is edi-

1t Is not to be expected that Editor
Green knows the true conditions as
they exist in this district as he does
not live in the district and could only
obtain such information as he gives
circulation from the Democratic
newspapers Of the district.
That Mr.. Laughlin and Mr.. Hearne
stand for different ideas and ideals
may be true. We are sure that Mr..
sHearne has loftier motive than to
accept office for the mere sake OF
holding the office which seems to be

Laughlin since he has accepted two
nominations for congress by two po-
litical parties within less time than a
year.
THE Laughlin candidacy stands
for a free forward movement in the
great campaign for a larger measure
OF social justice" says the Post.
There never was better example OF
cirCumlocution and meaningless
twaddled palmed off upon the voters
of the state than this sentence. The
Post further says that 1.-The Hearne
candidacy is handicapped by affilia-
ton with the old reactionary crowd.
The Post never strayed further
from the truth in all Of its existence
than it does in this statement. Mr..
Hearne was tile unanimous choice @
the Republican convention Of repre-
sentative citizens who went to Wheel
ing to nominate a candidate for con-
gress and such a statement Is a d.
rect insult to the delegates to that
convention who are known TO be hon
orable men and above the influence
of ring politicians. We are speaking
now for the Marion county delega-
tIon. The gentlemen who attended
that convention from this county
we're not even instructed for whom
they should vote. The county con-
vention in selecting them did not
know or inquire for whom they
would vote when they got to Wheel
ing. The only consideration that en-
tered in their appointment was the
two questions, are you q Republic
can and will you go to Wheeling.
No man ever before received
nomination in this state that was
rreer from corruption. improper IN
fluences or boss rule than MT.
Hcarne. Mr.. Hearne was nominated
because of his fitness for the office
because he had a progressive leglsla-
tive record that would make Mr..
Laughlin frown with envy. He was
nominated because he was a fighter
for his party and was not afraid to
stand for the principles Of his party
in a distict in which he knew that
the third party movement would en-
danger to some extent his chances
for election. Mr.. Hearne has shown
his worthinesS for the office and mas

the West Virginian believes thai
every Republican who has a drop OF
manhood or Republican blood How
ing through his veins should rise IN
mighty army and resent by their
votes such gross Misrepresentation
as are to be found in the Morgan
town Post Chronicle and the Demo-
cratic press. They should rally To-
the SUPPORT of u man like MIR. HearneI
who has so bravely Gspoused the.
cause of his party under conditions
that would have caused most men to-
stand back and falter. The RepuD-
licans of Marion county may be de-
pended upon to take up the insults
that have been thrown at them by
/ the Morgantown paper and they VIII
show by their support that they are
the people who are behind the can
didacy of Mr.. Hearne and that they
are not a set of machine politicians.

Boyhood Feat Recalled by Pro-

PORT HURON, MICH, Nov l5.--In
connection with the celebration of the
centennial anniversary Of old Fort
Gratiot, planned for next May. IL Is
proposed to have Thomas A. Edison
take an active part in the celebration
1t was in Port Huron that Mr.. Edi-
son spent his boyhood days.
One incident Of his boyhood DAYS
is told by a lifelong chum Of the in
ventor Edison, he said, would pay
daily visits to the telegraph offices in
this city and sit for hours and study
tho wonderful mechanism
He would gaze at the cup with
its copper, zinc and acid and hear,

Determined to find out for him

his laboratory to the residence Of his
young assistant and chum. James
Ward Common stOyepipe wire, in
sulated with bottles placed on nails
driven into trees and carried under
an exposed road by means of piece
of abandoned cable fished up from the
Detroit River was the equipment used.
THE youngster had seen sparks
emitted from a cats back Judging
that there must be a good battery
where the indications were so strong.
he inserted cat in the circuit. using
the animals feet as electrodes.
The connection made, he tried to
start the electric current by rubbing
the cats back. A tremendous local
current and perfect electric arc we're
produced, attended by considerable
disturbance. But as the battery would
not work, the line was soon ADAM
doned.
Uses Whistle to Talk.
Perhaps his most ingenious boy
hood feat was performed during an
ice jam that broke the cable between
Port Huron, in Michigan. and Sarnia,
In Canada. The river at this point IL
a mile and half wide. The ice made
the river impossible and there was
no way Of repairing the cable
Edison jumped on a locomotive
and seized the valve controlling the
whistle. He had an idea that the
blasts ~ the whistle might be broken
into long and short sounds, CORE
spending with the dots and dashes of
telegraphy In q moment the whistle
sounded over the river.
