200 LIVES LOST
IN Mine DISASTER
ExpIosion In Canadian Mine Entombs ESQ

FIFTY DIE AFTER RESCUE
Wives Of Missing Miners Hover
About Mine Entrance Hoping
Against Hope.

Lethbridge, Alberta.-A mighty ex-
plosion entombed ESQ miners employ
ed in mine No. 20, of the Hillcrest
Galleries, Limited. Of the fifty min
ers rescued, only fourteen were hv-
ing.
Despite the efforts of two score mine
experts laboring amid the poisoned
gases and debris, hope of rescuing
alive the 200 men yet in the mine was
remote. -
The effect of the disaster were:
Men in mine when explosion oc-
Cured, 600, Of whom $50 escaped.
Number rescued, so, of whom sc
died later.
Miners still entombed, eco, probably
killed by fire, which followed the ex-
plosion.
Miners Wives Hopeless.
At dusk a group of women stood at
the mouth of the mine, which had been
closed by the explosion, still hopeful
that the cries for help that issued from
the inner workings earlier in the day
might be repeated. Later, however,
many of the women dispersed, ex-
pressing the general feeling that the
situation of those imprisoned was
hopeless

The vvgtasaH gladly gives publicity to the
correction made by Mr. Taylor, as it desires TO
present only the actual facts in the case. While
the error was a minor matter, it, nevertheless,
deserves correction.
Mr.. Taylor also states that the Investigation
was undertaken at his own expense and initiative
and without consultation with anyone connected
with prohibition in Virginia. It is the unselhsh
possible the conduct Of a democratic form of
government

WOULD Iocu. OPTION MEN VOTE DRY?

In case of a local option election in Richmond,
would the present defenders Of the principle Of
local option vote wet or dry That is q question
that they expect any answer. or that they In
doubt az to what the answer would be If one were
made but there are a few audacious persons
who believe that the defenders Of the saloon
under the present campaign cry for local option
would be found on the side of the saloon no
matter what the issue Such has been the case
III the pesi where such questions have arisen;
it is the case in localities where fight for the
adoption OF the local option principle Is now en-,
and II VIII probably remain the case long as
the saloon is able to hide behind a cloak Of
responsibility such as that thrown over il by the
local SelfGovernment association and other
allies Of the liquor traffic. Their "inestmab!e
aid" is eagerly confessed by the liqpor forces,
for the LIQUOR traffic sleek and sly and Shiny
as II u.s. has not yet learned It's lesson The
liquor traffic made tactical blunder when it
confessed to this "tnestimable aid for the liquor
traffic should have known that murder will
ont" and this news Of its tell-tale claim must
Inevitably become public property,
The saloon Ia defended in tho present campaign
by at least two classes OF advocates one class
favors local option; the other, nationwide pro-
addition Anything to raise up an excuse for
supporting the saloon In the present campaign
under respectable guise is In vogue. There are
none who admit openly that they favor the saloon
as an Institution, but in case where the option
Of city prohibition or city license offered
It is safe to state that regulation and high
license would be the cry.

Hopeless Desperation.

A the time for the Statewide prohibition
election approaches the liquor people hght-
ing with a determination which has rarely been
surpassed. and which is born OF wellnigh hope
less desperation. They are publishing the most
alarming articles in the wet papers and flooding
the mails with circulars appealing to the peo-
pic not To rob the state of the revenue necessary
" run the government not stopping to think
that every voter in Virginia knows that they are
speaking one word In behalf of public revenue
and six In behalf Of their personal gain.
The State IS not dependent upon liquor revenue,
fellow citizens, for the simple reason that the
liquor business costs the State more than IL
Yields in revenue. All the so-called argument
against the adoption of Statewide prohibition
which can be piled up between here and Rich
mond is not sufficient to convince the people Of
Virginia that liquor is not curse and that It's
sale should not be prohibited. We appeal to
readers not to be mised by the circular letters
'hey are receiving. but TO stan@ firm IN their
determination to vote against this great evil
Exchange.
