The Westerner, a farm journal, has
this sarcastic ttut extremely pointed
reference to Pinchot and the POSSIBLE

Combativeness and destructiveness

nature. They are not to be destroyed
they are to be guided by reason and
directed to beneficent ends. says Rev,
DR.. Lyman Abbott.
There are times when war Is neces-

be poorer than it Is If there were no
records of war on it's pages; If there
had been no heroes who dared to fight
for justice and liberty.

MINING AND MINING ENGINEERS

Any mining district which possesses
real merit, prospective or proven, IS
fortunate in having representative
body Of mining engineers visit 1t, be-
come acquainted with the people, learn
something OF its resources at first
hand and inspect Its methods of min
Ing, ore reduction and mineral ex-
traction. All Of these phases Of min
ing come within the scope Of the min
ing engineer. The probability Of find
ing ore In prospective mine and the
possibility Of treating 1t with fair
margin Of profit are the problems with
which mining engineer has to deal,
and 1t Is obvious that in order to solve
them he must have an intimate know
ledge both of the peculiarities Of for

ANOTHER FIERY HORROR.

When the great catastrophe in New
York City occurred some two years
ago. involving the loss of the lives OF
more than hundred girls employed
in a factory, it was stated that the
laws of New York would be SO amended
that conditions would he improved upon,
and never more would such horror be
known in that State. But now we have
another horror much like the former
one.
An account Of the wretched affair
at Binghamton says that although there
had been ire drills, the employees were
tired of them, and generally paid no
attention TO the fire alarm when 1T
sounded. But this time it was dead
ly fire alarm in earnest, and yet as we
read the account, "While many girls
lost their lives because they did not
heed the alarm OF fire, it seems certain
that the narrow stairway and made
quate fire escapes would not have fur
nished sufficient arteries of egress in
such a FIRE had the 125 employees re-
sponded promptly to the call, But
surely it would seem as that the fire
drill ought to have demonstrated the
insuihclency of the narrow Railways
and the inadequate fire escapes. Un-
less this was so, surely the effect of
the FIRE drill is nothing. A fire drill
ought TO demonstrate any defects of
that kind with a certainty and assuT-
ance that could not be explained away
And it is plain case that fire drill
to which those who are TO be trained in
it do not respond, is no fire drill at all.
But the American people are forget
full. Whenever any great calamity oc
ours, we have an arousing OF public
sentiment that denounces the calamity
and those in fault, and VOW is regis.
tered that nothing Of that kind shall
ever occur again IN the United States;
but before very long something either
exactly the same or very like it oc.
ours once more. And again we have
the same denouncing of the fault, and
the same determination expressed that
| there shall be no repetition of such a
| catastrophe. Warnings are vain, the
| hard lesson Of daily disasters is also
vain. We go along. content in care
lessness, and before long Just such an
other awful calamity is reported
But surely the State OF New York
will not again neglect this warning;
and II should he warning also TO ell
of the States OF this Union, that in
such factories there should be not only
fire drills that are in fact fully respond
ed to, but the absolute requirement
that these fire drills shall demonstrate
any defect in construction in the fac
tory, or as TO the suficiency of fire
escapes that may be developed and that
might cause terrible loss Of life in case
Of an actual FIRE, and compel the fullest
possible provision against loss of life

II such a massacre should occur it
would be the signal for immediate &C.

Maine in Havana harbor was the signal
for the way with Spain.
The report from the City of Mexico
some days ago that the Huerta ad.
herents would blow up the American
Embassy If the United States failed
much longer to recognize President
Huerta, is doubtless canard. The
recognition OF Huerta is something
that the United States might have done
long ago with perfect propriety, since
any country DO not afford sufficient
international reason for refusal 10
recognize n de fscto government which
NAV be established in that country.
But. first OF all, We have a Euro
pean precedent in the refusal TO
recognize King Peter of Servia after
the massacre of King Alexander and
his queen. in Belgrade. Since the blood
on the throne of Servia was sufficient
TO restrain the European governments
generally from extending recognition to
Peter. who was Alexander 5 successor in
Servia so the United States can insist
that the blood upon the Presidential
chair in Mexico is sufficient cause for
our refusal to recognize Huerta.
