Vice Admiral Sir George Edwin
Patey, the commander Of tho Austrail.
ian navy, will be tlftS.si1 years old
tomorrow. as he was born near Ply.
mouth, Eng, February "a, 1859. In
taking up a naval career Admiral
Patey followed the example Of his
father, who was q captain In the Roy
oil Navy. Admiral Patey entered the
navy at the age Of thirteen, and for
forty.two years he has spent most
OF his time at sea. He early re.
ceiyed his baptism OF fire, for he was
q rlidshipman on the British warship
sIlah during the engagement between
that vessel and the Peruvian turret
ship Huascar. Peru was then In.
volved in an insurrection led by
Nicholas de Plerolas, and In 1877 the
rebel leader sailed away on the iron
clad Huascar and attacked British
and other neutral mail-ships. The

REAL REPENTANCE.

At is natural the death Of Frank
James, the once notorious bandit and
outlaw, has called forth numerous
articles concerning his wildly adven.
turous career, but It is stated that no
authoritative biography will be pub.
lished for the following reasons: A
writer who visited him some years
ago to obtain Information for tho
purpose was refused in these words:
Il promised the governor OF Missouri
when surrendered to him that /
would never write book about my.
self or permit 1t to be written An
offer Of $4,000, 1t is said. did not
shake his determination.
Considering this circumstance 1t is
not difficult to speak well OF the dead.
Frank James policy was In refreshing
contrast to that of many modern
criminals who are encouraged to pose
as heroes. Gotham's gunner not long
ago provided some conspicuous ex.
amples. For . while their literary
productions, or those printed over
their names. commanded prices that
distinguished professional writer's
would have retoiced to receive. Their
confessions. enlivened by numerous
lurid Incidents intended to cover up
the sordid business of being crimi.
nal. were published broadcast, and
no one can estimate the amount OF
harm they wrought In young and i'm.
questionable minds. No sense OF
shame was shown In these recitals OF
crime, but on the other hand a glory.
Ing In their achievements. Under the
guise OF contributing valuable in.
formation concerning the doings OF
the underworld. proceedings In that
delectable region were described In
q manor that left little to the am.
agination. There can be no doubt OF
the eagerness with which these ar.
ticles were read by the immature, who
saw vice painted In alluring colors,
and the murderer placed on pedes.
tai. The evil done by these miscreants
will live after them in the shape OF
their professed writings. Frank
James realized that he had done
enough harm In the world without
leaving behind him this malign In.
fluenee. His repentance apparently
was genuine and he seemed to have a
real desire to forget and be forgotten.
He was far from proud Of his mis-.
deeds and yet. in the opinion of those
having knowledge OF his career. they
were never characterized by the
wolflsh cruelty and cowardice SO
prominent In the crimes OF New
York's much exploited gunner. =

Current Comment.
LAnoR,s cAsuALrIEs

A report just issued by the State
Department Of Labor and Industries
states that during 1914 there were
SS.l26 industrial accidents in this
state. Happily In $4,000 cases the
Injuries were of minor seriousness.
The average loss OF time to each
workman. however, was IL days, rep.
resenting loss In wages OF over
81. 100000. And as $4,000 other per.
sons were dependent upon the injured
this loss fell on more than 100000
people. The loss to employers can.
not be computed. but as each accident
caused a general interruption Of oper.
atoms in the vicinity the time thus
lost and the loss In replacing the in,
jured perhaps by inexperienced labor
may easily represent q large sum.
The department hopes by this pre-.
sentation OF the facts to arouse a
wider interest In the safety first CAM
paign, both on the part OF the employ.
er and the employed. Itsis suggested
that the number OF accidents can be
materially reduced BY the constant
incubation Of habitual caution on the
part OF the workers, no less than by
the installation OF safety devices.
Everyone has noticed foolhardy or
careless actions on the part Of men
injured by familiarity to ignore dang:
erous SURROUNDINGS, Avery large pro.
portion Of the $4,000 accidents report.

intentional but habitual. To correct
this condition II Will be necessary

about q reversal Of that attitude 90

Birthday Of Samuel Pepys. Greatest

OF all the pictures Of England's past

tanned the idea that his words would
ever be perused by any but himself.
Samuel Pepys, the greatest OF all
diarIsts, was born 2S3 years ago to:
day. February 90, 1882. and died in
1903. He was secretary to the ad.
miralty In the reign OF Charles H.,
sat in several parliaments, and at.
tanned great wealth. Yet he would
long since have been forgotten save
for that frank and unreaerved chroni,
Gle Of his daily life, set forth in his
diary, In which he gives US 80 clear
and amusing a picture Of the English
people, court and customs OF the
seventeenth century. The Restora.
ton, the first Dutch war, the London
FIRE and plague, and other great
events are mentioned in his diary, but
far more interesting are his entertain.
ing obsaryations on more transient
matters.
Shakespeare had been in his grave
but sixteen years when Pepys was
born. and the Bard Of Avon had not
yet become an object Of generation.

Pepys wrote: ut il the most Ia.

Deptford by water, reading "othelfo,
Moor OF Venice" which / have ever
heretofore esteemed o mighty good
play; but having so lately read the
Adventures Of Five Houres, 1t seems
a mean thing"
Pepys was a faithful public ser.
want, q churchman Of Presbyterian In.
clinations, and very respectable
citizen--but also q bit too fond OF
pretty ladies, although married to q
woman he adored. He admits that
his attendance at church was often
as much inspired by a desire to gaze
upon lovely girls as by religious as.
pirations. When his wife accompan.
led him to, the sacred edifics: how.
