STATE MINE CHIEF REPORTS
Btzmes SO Per Cent Of Accidsats to
CareIessness Of Miners.

Derver-The first annual report Of
the state inspector OF coal mines
shows that although eleven more
mines were operated during 1918 than
during 1912. the total coal production
decreased 1,74O,O09 tons for the year.
The number of tons mined during
1913 were 9,2GS.939. OF which 1,92S.G76
were Ignite, 720,353 mibituminous,
G.5G7,256 bituminous, aud 52,G54 an
thracite. The total number OF mines
operated was IT'S and the average
price at the mine ton was 55 %
cents.
Inspector James Dalrymple says in
his introduction: During the year
10 lives were lost in and about the
coal mines. 104 underground and six
on the surface. OF the underground
accidents, Al per cent were due to
falls OF rock and coal, and As per cent
of all fatal accidents are due to the
same causes. 1t is apparent that at
least one-half of them could have been
prevented by better discipline. stricter
supervision and the installation Of
proper safeguards.
For the last three years there has
been a steady increase in the number
OF lives lost to each 1000 employed
and decrease in the number of tons
produced for each life lost in the coal
mines of our state. the same being
true throughout the United States.
THE strained relations between en-
ployer and employe are responsible
for n great many accidents, because
such relations cause strikes, and
when many green men are shipped In
to take the places OF the strikers.
many Of the former depend almost
entirely on the officials to protect
them from danger"

alone amid gloom. uncertainty. appre-
hension and poverty, following the
ravages of war. A century ago. the
Federal Union was an experiment In
government that. In the minds OF
many, was foredoomed to failure.
There was no nation: rather loose
confederation Of hostile sections and
jealous states. II was out OF the
struggles and sufferings Of this very
war that the American nation was
born. Today. 10O.0O0.000 Americans.
In identity of political and social
ideals. language and institutions, pre-
sent a picture of the most thoroughly
nationalized country of which history
has record.
But in hundred other ways did
the Thanksgiving Of 1914 differ from
the one to be celebrated this year.
OF course there were the funda-
mental essentials of turkey, pumpkin
pie and cranberry sauce: there were
the lhomegathering Of relatives and
the reunion OF the family around the
old hearthstone. But beyond that all
has changed with the passage of the
neeting years. Could boy or gill
of today, by some ledgerdemain OF
time, be transported back to one OF
those old fashioned Thanksgiving day
of century ago. he or she would
think they were being robbed of their
holiday rights. Even the wealthiest
people OF those old days could not
have on their Thanksgiving table
many of the things found today on
the tables Of the humblest citizen.
In fact, there was q great poverty
of vegetable variety on the Thanks
giving table a century ago. No as
paragus, no sweet potatoes. no string
beans, no corn, no green peas, and SO
on down the attractive list that consti-
tutes the appetizing trimmings of the
| Thanksgiving table Of today. The tin
can era had not yet .dawned. and its
possibilities OF smashing seasonable
| monotony were undreamed OF even by
| epicures.
And there was the same poverty in
/ Thanksgiving fruit The list practi-
cally started and ended with apples
| and OF q kind that most farmers now
feed only to their hogs or leave to
rot on the ground. Grapefruit was a
word not yet invented; oranges would
have been worth their weight in gold:
and the banana was to await many
years for its Introduction to the
American housewife. Nor would 1t
have been possible for the voracious
youngster of that day to gorge him
self with luscious grapes and delicate
raisins. Pineapple was another un-
known word. OF course there were
nuts, but only of native varieties.
Almonds, Brazil nuts. pecans and the
English walnuts, without which no
Thanksgiving table Of today would be
considered complete, were then un-
known luxuries.
The farmer of that day was a slave
of the season and the produce of his
toll was governed strictly by the cal
endar. There were no hothouses to
force fruit and vegetables out Of sea-
son. The good people of those days
would have considered It almost sacri-
lege, an attempt to improve on the
divine plan of things. A request for
strawberries or cucumbers at Thanks
giving would be equivalent to an ap-
plIcation for admission to an asylum
for the insane. I
But the difference does not end with
comparison of the eatables of the
feast century ago and today. 1t is
even more startling when we COM
