Editor The Georgian:
note with interest Mr. Benja
min Blackburn's letter IA regard
to the senatorship, and your edi-
toriai in reply in regard to the
two factions in Georgia and the
Canal tolls.
There is no doubt but that # is
unfortunate that there are two
bitter factions in the Democratic
party in Georgia, and no matter
how hard few leaders try to
Keep this down at times it is go
ing to crop out when the heat Of
battle comes. and perhaps get
more Bitter each time.
The only way this can be
avoided Is to build up the Pro-
gessive party in Georgia as an
opposition party. which would be
a god send to the State, both
from a broad political point OF
view and also in a business sense.
and in that case the two factions
would unite against the opposing,
or Progressive party
In regard to the Canal tolls,
can't see that It is a violation OF
any treaty to allow our own ships
to pass from one part Of our own
country to the other without pay
ing tolls. It is simply an easy
way to encourage our coastwise
shipping. and will not compete at
all with the ships Of any foreign
nation. and ! do not think that
John Bull should try to dictate
10 us In regard to our home or
inland ommerce after we have
spent millions in money and ten
years OF hard work In digging
our own canal. Also, England
seems TO have troubles enough at
home without attempting to die
tate or Interfere with our domes-
tic affairs. C. w. MCCLURE.

WAS TT AN ACCIDENT?
cFrom the February Safety First Bulletin)

DESCRIPTIONS: Twas the evening OF payday, the com
in their jeans made demand that for safety they. ma Way
their pockets might render by burning a hole. MI. ohove--
man Miner came down from The hill, and a calloW young ten
der young man from the mill, hit the hike for the city, two
sportive young goats, with a gambol in sight IN a held OF wild
oats. They were both in high spirits and seeking to hnd one
or two or more stirring of their frame of mind. Not the
l~tangle-foot brand. for no camp ever lacks that refined sort OF
spirit bearing Uncle Sans tax. But they thought IN the Guys
bright strangletight maze, and its delicate touch and Its arc
lighted ways, to find something better, but alack and a DAY,
there are spirits and spirits both liquid and gay. To their
credit tits said their intentions were grand. But their wheels
commenced sliding, they lost all their sand. When they
started to slip they let go of the rope, and completely forgot
all their Safety First dope. Now as ice always freezes the
slippery side up, when there's ice on the rails or cracked ice
in the cup, there is danger of slipping or jumping the track.
So they had a derailment and couldn't get back. From apex
to basement the going was fine, ever skidding and SLIDING
they tore down the line; ran the gamut of gamesters, bought
smiles cheaply sold; hit the booze joints Ger freely-the
story is told.
On the morn after payday, in the cold, greyish dawn,
all their spirits were missing, their cash too was gone. Twas
an accident, maybe, but oh! what a wreck, like a tenderfoot
humping a tin horns cold deck. Both their jobs amputated
in one sudden jerk, with a traumatic ruptured relation with
work; an internal fracture of conscience obique, they were
switched to the riptrack, disabled and weak. When their
spirits returned and their heads ceased to pain, they made
firm resolution, sNo, never again. With new views psyche
logic, old habits reversed, they acknowledge the logic Of old
Safety First.
SUGGESTION:-The above effort in syllabication, ac-
|centuation and near rhyme, descriptive of the near cause of
many an industrial accident, is prompted by the following
suggestion from an employee. This suggestion was received

genuine sentiment and sincerity in the few brief words with
which the recommendation is clothed than in any suggestion
the Safety Department could make:

SOMETIMES 1T COSTS MONEY TO
BECOME AMERICAN CITIZEN

Frank Bassett, wool grower and
merchant at Tippett, and Herman
Dietlaff returned to the eastern part
of the county yesterday afternoon
having qualified as witnesses for
Gust Sellas, a candidate for final
citizenship.
Mr.. Sellas made the trip to Ely ON
several previous occasions in quest of
a certificate, which would entitle him
to all the advantages of a native
born citizen, but unexpected difficult
ties of a technical nature always in
tervened. He passed a creditable *
animation Friday afternoon, and re-
turned to former haunts with the
much cherished document.
An expense of $500 was incurred
by Mr.. Sellas in his different trips to
the county seat, but he feels certain
that the money was we'll expended.
Mrs. Lillian Bednarek of Spring
valley was a member of the Bassett
party, the trip being made in Mr..

ing.
Cooperation is essential to the
successful development and effective
execution of any plan Of industrial
safety, but individual initiative Is re-
quired to improve and perfect de-
tails. Many of the mechanical safety
devices at Copper Flat and the Step
toe plant are the result of sugges-
tons made by employees. At the
Steptoe plant. Charles Needham
crew, is one Of the most active safety
first men on the job. The safety
coupling device on our hot Stag pots
and other safety measures in connec-
tion with the yard switching opera
tons have been adopted from ideas
suggested by him. Upon the original
suggestion made by Al. Rose. one OF
our dlnkey engineers. seconded by

toggle safety chains to prevent side
fitting hot Stag pots from tipping
while In transit. Some months ago
the Safety department had to record
an unfortunate fatal accident caused
by the overturning of a pot of molten
Stag en- route from converter to the
reyerberatories. With the safety
chain suggeted by Mr.. White and
now i'm place on all Stag cars, and
provided that employees always see
to 1t that it is properly and securely
fastened, the possibility of recurrence
of a similar fatality is very remote.
A safety suggestion of practically the
same nature was made by Frank
Glenn at Copper Flat. His sugges-
ton followed quickly after the fatal
accident last December wherein an
employee was crushed between the
side dump-door and the body of a
dump car. Mr.. Glenn's suggestion Is
a safety chain permanently affixed TO
the car in two short pieces, which
when cupled together after car has
been dumped will prevent the return
of car body to place until load is
entirely dumped. thus eliminating
the chance of accident similar to the
one described"

GEORGE WESTINGHOUSE DEAD.

George Westinghouse, inventor of
the air brake and who by his genius
accomplished more for railroading
than any one nan since railroads
became a reality, died at his nome
in New York City. Thursday, in his
6Sth year. 1t had O been generally
known that the inventor was serious
ly i'll, and his death came within a
few hours.
George Westinghouse was the
young mar whom Commodore Cor
nelius Vanderbilt told that he had
no time to waste on fools. This
brilliant remark of the combodore's
followed an interview between the
railroad financier and the inventor.
Westinghouse had conceived the
idea of his air brake, and with a
keener future vision than Wander
bilt's had sought the man of money
TO assist him in financing tie inven-
ton. The famous historic converse
ton between the two, often quoted,
something as follows:
do you mean to tell me-" ex-
claimed Vanderbilt. that you can
stop a railroad train with wind?"
well, yes, inasmuch as air is
wind, l suppose you are right" an
swered Westinhouse.
Then came the termination of the
interview, with Vanderbilt's ex-
plosive comment, relative to fools, as
quoted above.
1t is needless to add that within
a few years the Vanderbilt railways
we're using the air brakes, for in this
instance it was the commodore
rather than the inventor who was the
fool. Westinghouse in speaking OF
himself in after years. gave advice
that every young man would do well
to heed:
II have always known what ]
have wanted to do and for doing 1t
| owe a great deal to persistence. to
a natural fondness for mathematics,
and to the fact that throughout my
youth ] learned to work with my
hands as well as my head. and have
always kept in practice"

Works Accidents Decrease az Per Cent.

The following from the editorial
section Of the February Safety First
Bulletin, issued by the Nevada Con-
solidated and Steptoe Valley Smelt-
ing and Mining companies, deals in
terestingly with the months record
of works accidents. The report is
very satisfactory to the companies.
both management and employees
from the large number of cyphers
appearing in the several depart
ments, the cyphers representing a
lack of accidents, and showing that
the leaven of thoughtful precaution
is working all along the line and
with consequent benefit to all con-
cerned:
There Is more wind than wisdom
in e%loquence spent In Boosting.
Therefore we will not hurrah toe
loudly, but without seeming to boast
we can point with pride to our
February months record of casual
ties.
There were no fatalities and only
one serious disabling accident dur
ing the month. This one accident,
however. is apt to prove rather SER
ious. An employee at Copper Flat
engaged in adjusting a rail clamp at
one on the steam shovels while driv.
ing the bolt or clamp pin into place
with an eight pound hammer, was
struck in the eye with a piece of
dirt or rock, with sufficient force to
cause rupture of the Tense of his right
eye. The injury was very painful
and will cause the employee the loss
of several days time.
During the year 1913 the average
number of disabling accidents at
mines, mill and smelter vas 32 per
month, counting every accident re-
sulting in personal injuries that
caused the loss of one days time or
more. In the month just passed
February. with about the same num-
Der of men employed and under
practically the same conditions as
prevailed during the past year, there
were only Is disabling accidents,
including those which caused dis
ability period of one day or part of
days. This is a reduction of A per
cent.
with reference to the same ex-
listing conditions: The statement
above made is true so far as physical
conditions are concerned, as there
was no change In the nature and
extent of work done and no change
in the kind and degree of hazards
and risks to contend with. But
there is one condition which has
changed. The spirit of safety first
has exerted a significant and pur-
p~oseful influence to the betterment of
conditions by enlisting the support of
employees in the prevention of pre-
ventable accidents. Every foreman
and every worker in the service IL
saying If accidents can be prevented,

First Aid to the Injured.

months record.
First Aid to the Injured.
Recognizing the existence of
trade hazards, each industry possess
sing problems peculiar to itself, con.
siderable thought and effort has been
directed towards minimizing the
number and degree of personal in
jury accidents. Invention and me-
ehanical genius has improved and
perfected practical means of accident
prevention; efficient supervision has
anticipated and made extensive pre-
parations against the risks inherent
in every vocation; and intelligent
organization and cooperation of EN-
ployees has eliminated in a very great
measure the carelessness of indivi-
dual workmen which has been
responsible for many of our serious
accidents.
Accidents will happen, however
in spite of the employers efforts to
provide and maintain safeguards
and in spite of the fact that EN-
ployees are grounded firmly in the
exercise of safety. And for these ac-
cidents the employer will continu,
to pay in money, the widows and
orphans will contribute tears and
misery, and the manned and crippled
soldiers of industry will pay in suf-
fering. Accident prevention may in
time lessen the grim toll exacted OF
the industries, and the tax of pain
and suffering laid upon the injured
may be mitigated If not entirely
eliminated. Certes, Unnecessary
suffering can and must be relieved
by efficient first aid to the injured.
IS. w. Eccles, president of the Ne
vada Consolidated and Steptoe COM
panies, is a member o the First Aid
committee which acts in an advisory
capacity to the American Red Cross
First Aid department. Mr.. Eccles
has urged upon our Safety depart
ment the ACCESSIBILITY of organizing
classes in first aid among our en-
ployees, and In expressing his wishes
in this respect. has suggested that
instructions In efficient first aid to
the injured be brought within the
reach of every employee.
Encouraged by Mr.. Eccles' in
terest and In confident expectation
that foremen and employees will
respond to the suggestion, arrange
ments have been made and will be
carried to prompt execution for the
formation of a class or classes in
first aid. Doctors Early, Herschman,
Wallace and Millington Of the COM
pany staff, have signified their will
ingness to assist In the movement.
American Red Cross charts and
manikins have been received and will
be used in illustrating lectures. and
all requisite paraphernalia which
will lend interest to and properly
