DEMOCRATS NOT
ON THE JOB
Republicans Had to Make up
Quorum in Hoase l04
Times.

Washington, Oct. 20.-Consider-
able amusement has been occasion
ed in Washington by President Will
sons probably unconscious indicte
ment of Democratic absenteeism in
Congress in letter addressed
to Chairman Doremus, of the Ma
tional Democratic Congressional
Committee. The President says:
America expects every man to do
his duty without thought of profit or
advantage to himself. The record
men make speaks for itself. The
country cannot be deceived concern
ing 1t and will assess it justly. Every
man ought now to stay on his job
until the crisis is past and ought to
stay where his job can best be done"
How severe is the Presidents ar
raignment of the Democratic major
ity in the House of Representatives
can best be seen when actual figures
are presented as to how much and
how little the Democratic majority
has stayed on the job" With a
membership the House of Represen-
tatives, during the present (63d)
Congress of 290, with a majority of
las over all and with ~ members
in excess of the number required to
make a quorum, it would be reason
able to suppose that any necessary
business could have been transacted
without the aid of Republicans and
yet on 104 roll calls out Of total Of
1879 the Democrats failed to main
tain a quorum and had the Repub-
licans not furnished the necessary
votes no business could have been
transacted Well does the President
say: "A program has been carried
through with the support of all par
ties" for unless Republicans had
come to the rescue a large part of
the business done would have been
impossible. Finally, Democratic abb
senteeism became so aggravated that
it was found necessary to resort to
docking the pay of absent mem
bers. This had only been resorted
to once before. twenty years ago.
then as now, in a Democratic Con-
gress. On the 1873 roll calls before
the docking" was put into effect,
there was an average of 1913 absent
Democrats and. as has been stated,
on 1O4 of these 1879 roll calls. Re-
publicans had to make up the nee
essary quorum.
From June 5 to August 25 the
Democrats were continuously short
of a quorum. Well may the President
it would seem, advise
Democrats to stay on the job"
Most singing is this rebuke to those
who have so habitually absented
themselves. And we'll does he add:
1.-The country cannot be deceived and
will assess it justly"

British Soldier Must Have Jam.

London, Oct. 1.-THE call for
contributions of jam, which is made
by certain British war relief socie-
ties backed by the press, may lead
strangers to believe that Thomas
Atkins is the most pampered of
fighting men. But this is not true.
since the hard Egyptian campaign
of 1884 proved that jam is not lux
ury. but a necessary preventive of
scurvy. Millions of pounds of jam
were consumed by the British troops
in the Boer war, and the army in
France has been kept well supplied
with it in the present campaign.
The British soldier is the best fed
in Europe. A force of 200. 900 men
is given four months rations on
this scale: 100000 pounds of
hard bread. $4,000, 900 pounds of
beef. 100000 pounds of compress
ed vegetables, 100000 tins of con-
densed milk, 500. 200 pounds of salt.
800.000 pounds of coffee and 400,-
900 pounds of tea, 10000 gallons of
rum, $4,000 bottles of port and "a
900 bottles OF whisky and 1900, 900
tins of jam of one pound each.
Among the, miscellaneous stores
used at the front are tons of alum
for purifying water, chloride of lime
and carbolic acid powder disinfect-
ants. Hay, oats and bran are also
furnished on a generous scale for
the horses and mules.

recent fatal accideI. in the Gardner as follows.
 J. B. Hun and C. E. Cooper were vol king for a lead set of the man way in SPA Raise, this set being -ver the chute. The ground vas of clayey nature and the men had worked it out with pick until there was nearly room for the full set. but before cutting all the ground they de- cided to stull the cen.er, and Cooper went down to the drift where he hunted for stull but coul- not find one that was long enough. He .hen returned to the raise and told his part. ner. They sounded the back with pick and then concluded that it was safe enough for hem 10 put in one pest and cap. from which they could put timber diagonally across the top. catching the roof While Hun was engaged in cleaning out for the teacn u slab dropped from the back. striking him on the head and should CTS. breaking the plank on which he was staniing allowing him to fall distance of three sets to the muck be- ow. When he was hoisted from the chute 1t was found hat he was badly lnilred, and few days later he died. For the want of a small stull a life was lost. Both of these men were experienced miners. They had worked in this raise and adjoining workings for some little time and knew shat the ground was short" and liable to fall without giving any warning. Their own judgment told them that the ground needed stulling, and they should have secured that stull, if they had to go to he sawmill for 1t, but they decided to take a chance instead and now one of them is fin lis grave.
 The miner who takes unnecessary chances gambles with fate and when he loses, oftimes pays the forfeit wi.h his life
 These men had 4"x1O" timber to- work off of. lut instead they were working on a 2"Xi2" plank. It is a | Company rule that grizzlies or break CTS" as they are called, shall always | te kept over A chu-e. If this had been ione Huff would not have fallen the three sets, and while the fall onto the soft muck may not have injured him very much, it is certain tha. 1t did him no good. The Boss in charge | of the work should be censured for not seeing that these grizzlies were kept | in place, as this raise had been put up several sets withou. the use or any.
 A peculiar fact in connection w1th this accident is that Hun seemed 10 have a premonition that he would mee with an accident while working in this raise, as he had told several that he was afraid he was going to be hurt; and yet, in the face of all this, he took an unnecessary chance. =.
 Miners should never trust to 'the sound of the ground when struck with a pick or bar. By placing the hand on the ground to be tested and then striking it. one can tell by the jar if it Is loose.
 Looking backward, we can all see how this accident could have been avoided. Why not try looking for ward and anticipate these accidents ? In this case an ounce of prevention would be worth a world of cure. un' less we can persuade l-he miners in the Warren District to follow their own best judgment and use every pre- ventative measure possible, we will meyer be able to cut down accidents fiom falls of ground
