Arguments on the demurrer filed

THE NATIONS LOSS.

There is no exact measure OF the
losses from mine accidents and min
eral waste, but we may use an ap-
prox,mate measure. If the increasing
rate of coal-mine fatalities during
1905, 1906 and 1907, the three years
prior to the beginning of this work.
had continued throughout the four
subsequent years, since congress
authorized these mine-explosion inves-
legations, the number of fatalities
would have been at least 1000 greater
than they have actually been. At ap-
proximateIy the average compensation
paid in fatal mine accidents of the
past few years, this would represent
a national loss of $4,000, 900 In the
four years. II 1t Is remembered that
for every fatal accident there are ac
least three to five serious nonfatal &C
cidents. and twelve lesser accidents
which incapacitate for one or more
DAYS, it will be seen that the actual
national loss expressed in money
value would have been much larger.
In mineral waste, the national loss
is estimated to be not less than ST.
600 900 day. This loss for the most
part is not such as may be consider
ed as representing deferred use OF
but represents total per-
manant loss of national wealth.
The mineral losses are considered
as national losses for the reason that
the mineral products of the country,
becoming articles OF interstate COM
merca, are used by the people OF all
the states quite regardless OF their
source. For the same reason, the
cost OF investigations looking to the
prevention of these losses should not
fall upon any one state: and If con-
Quoted by each of the states, the re-
suit would be extensive and unneces-
sary duplication of effort and expen-
iiture. We can not expect the indi-
ridual operator to bear the cost OF
such investigations for the reason
hat waste prevention with him is q
question OF temporary profits, and his
IN many cases-ae
east. are greater by virtue OF his
olIow.ng wastefu1 methods. With
both the community and the nation
he situation is often quite different,
md they must safeguard their own
permanent welfare.

FIRST BIG SCOOP
FROM MEXICO
United Press Correspondent Gets
Credit for Getting Important
News First.

United Press Leased Wire Service.]
NEW YORK, April 20.-Credit for
the first big scoop" Of the war be-
longs to VIM. G. Shepherd, staff cor
respondent OF the United Press in
Mexico City. Last Friday he sue
ceeded in getting past the censor
message written in code which
brought to the United States the first
announcement that Huerta desired
war. Shepherds message translated.
read: General Huerta wants dec
1aration of war. This is his object in
the present negotiations over the
Tampico incident. He has been in al
most constant conference with the
cabinet and congress. 1t became
known today that it is now his desire
to bring about warfare between Mex
leo and the United States on the the
ory that it will solidify the Mexican
people in support OF his otherwise
doomed government
Developments of Saturday. Sunday
and today have completely borne out
Shepherds code message.
William G. Shepherd served
through the Madero campaign as staff
correspondent OF the United Press, go
ing into Mexico City with Madero and
covering his election and inaugura-
-tion. He rnen returned TO the United
States and following an assignment
to cover the Olympic games at Stock
holm, was detailed for a year on staff
correspondent assignments in Europe.
He was recalled after the assassina-
ton of Madero and sent to Mexico
where he has had charge of the Unit
ed Press forces up to the present time.
For reasons which are obvious. the
use OF Shepherds name heretofore
has been impossible on account Of the
watch kept by Huerta on the work OF
American correspondents. Shepherd
will remain in Mexico City as long as
Charge O'Shaughnessy or any OF the
American officials remain. He will
then join the American forces nearest
the scene OF action.

THE UNNoTED HEROES.
There are heroes who have never
Heard the fearful din Of battle,
Heroes, who, unknown forever,
Labor where no sabres rattle;
There are heroes who are giving
JOY to others day by day,
Who are making life worth living
Just by earning honest pay.
There are heroes who are wearing
No bright medals for their merit.
Heroes who may not be sharing
Splendor that the proud inherit;
There are heroes who prefer the
Tasks of righting wrongful things,
And thus make themselves more
worthy
Than the pampered sons Of kings.
There are heroes, accomplishing.
Who are striving daily. yearly.
SO the goals we would be gaining
May each morning shine more
clearly;
They are heroes, unrewarded,
Who, by toiling late and long
In surroundings that are sordid,
Help the luckless to be strong
There are heroes with wan faces
Who uplift their fallen brothers.;
Heroes, who, in lowly places
Labor for the love of others.
Why not pause sometimes to cheer
them
For the courage they reveal,
wfiv not willingly revere them
For their patience and their zeal?
IS. E. Kiser, In Leslie's.
