"Safety First"
From the Burlington Hawk-Ily,

From the Burlington Hawk-Eye.
There are slogans and slogans. Some
are actually silly. Some are neither
catchy, nor appropriate. Some serve q
good purpose. OF these is the slogan that
has been adopted by practically all the
railroads in the and. Safety First"
That is practical, and hat means not
merely ,the outsider, but the man in the
service, as well as the man who is trying
to cross the tracks on his way to town
or the passenger who is being carried to
his destination.
Safety First was not long in proving
it's own worth and while 1t may not be
quite clear as to just where it originated,
and to whom the credit is due, there is
no doubt OF the fact that 1t won appre-
citation and made converts at a marvellous
rate. There are those who chafe and
COMPLAIN because q movement does not
work wonders over night and these may
think that more ought to have been done
and more ought to be doing, but the av-
erage observer stands amazed and points
with genuine pride to the marvellous sweep
ofithis Safety First slogan and the idea
for which 1t stands. 1t Is spreading from
the railroad to the factory and will be a
household word everywhere in the land;
And the more that slogan is honored and
obeyed, the better will it be for all.
1t Is another proof of the fact that the
world is growing better every day.

A FOR THOSE WHO
GO DOWN I'm SUBMARINES

There is a peculiar sensation attached
TO the accounts of fatal mishaps to
submarines. Long before the art Of
submarine navigation YVES even
thought of, the hazardous occupation
Of the men who go down to the sea
in ships was recognized, and a glamor
and a glory attached to them. But
what of the courage of the man who
fares entirely out Of his world into the
waters under the earth? Is he not q
brave man, ever among brave men?
Zach one of us appears to have his
private little fear. The psychologists
have named and cataloged human
fear. and many of them are silly
enough except to those who hold them
In respect. If there is, however, any
universal fear, any dread that is gem
eral among men, 1t is the dread of
facing u doom shut IN tight from a
sight of the world. Most of us nave a
horror of locked rooms, darkness and
the impotency that comes over us when
all our familiar surroundings are be-
yond our vision. In the open, with the
sky abov US and the customary
scenery of life before our eyes, we can
come to grapple with fate with at least
a pretense of a stout heart.
To be down in a dark depth, as far
from the world we know as if we were
on another planet; to realize that all
our senses and faculties are powerless
to aid US; to watch the slow encroach-
ments of the pitiless, destructive forces
OF nature; that is an end from which
we would all pray devoutly to be de-
livered.
No need for a description Of such ac-
cident as befell the British submarine
Az in Whitesand bay. In our magma
ton we can enroll ourselves among the
IL and in a measure comprehend the
emotions with which they awaited the
inevitable 1T A little of this make
believe is enough to leave us with a
profound respect and a humble admira-
ton for the men who tempt the waters
beyond the light.

Jarrina Conservatism.

From the Lincoln journal
Is there no rest for the conservative?
That unhappy soul has had to sit help
lessly by for now nearly 10 years and
watch the foundations of society crurn-
bling about him. State and national gov
eminent has been dipping into soclalistic
ventures such as railway regulation and
the parcel post. The good old system OF
balancing powers has been junlzed by the
cities in favor of commission government.
."Deliberative'' party conventions have
been swept aside by direct pri-
~ superseded by direct legislation,
Change, change, change! The co%,ltry
has had reform waves before, but these
the s~tandpatter had quickly brought UNI
der control. The subsistence of this one
is, several years overdue, yet here comes a
candidate for governor with a plan to
remake the whole state government on
new principles. The queer thing is that
public opinion is apparently ripe for the
change. Nobody seems to oppose a radf-
cal short ballot program. There is a
strong sentiment in favor of a simplified
legislature. Apparently the progress of
revolution and change has another i've
years of life in 1t at least.

CHAPTER XIX.
THE WAY OF HIS CASTE.

The day after the autumn primaries,
state politics was conscious of a dis
tinct shock. The "insurgent' governor
had triumphed again, but that was ex-
pected. But what at once was the SEN
sation, attracting ever national atten-
ton, was the defeat OF James S. Hall,
chairman of the most powerful COM
mittee in congress-, confidant of the
president-beaten in his home constiu-
ency, the sober caution counties of the
Iowa reserve. by an obscure country
editor!
The press buzzed with explanations
It marked the temper of the rural west;
it meant the downfall Of traditional
control; it was revolutionary, dema-
gogic. Curran was a socialist, anar-
chist, f~reethinker, what not! Nobody
knew exactly. Down In his home coun-
sort of like Wiley Curran out our way"
In the other precincts Of the district
they said: THAT editor put up q slash
ing fight-he come over here and gave
US facts!"
Anyhow, Curran was the regular
party nominee. In Rome the best peo-
pie could not have been more indig-
nant If one of the billiard hall idlers
had gone into the First National bank
and deliberately kicked Cal Rice on the
shins. 1t was rumored that Thaddeus
Tanner county chairman, who had
complacently promised his bailiwick
against the governors league, was
enraged beyond reason. He swore
he would not support Curran; the old
line men would vote for the democratic
candidate, whoever that spindl:ng coun-
~ organization put up, even il it was

From the Philadelphia Ledger,

TIUITT LIIJ ! IITIdUEIpTTId IIGUHF
Because $500, 10000 in silver was taken
from the Comstock mines of Nevada the
world points to that spot as an Eldorado.
Tho market value Of the coal taken out
of Pennsylvania in 1913 was greater than
the Comstock's entire bonanza yield. All
the mines of the earth last year produced
not nearly enough gold to buy Pennsyl-
vanfa's coal at the market price.
Each year for a century past more and
more of this stupendous quantity of coal
has been taken from beneath our feet and
sold. What has Pennsylvania to show for
the removal OF this vast wealth?
When our coal is zone, to What can
Pennsylvania point and say: We have

Every week about 5,000, 600 tons of our
