Child Welfare Work

AT the eleventh annual conference on child labor to
open in San Francisco May 2S, the plan for the co-ordina-
ton and unificaton of all child welfare work, which has in
terested so many social workers this year, will be discussed.
The plan was first mentioned at the national charities con-
ference in Memphis in 1914 by Roger n. Baldwin,, and
when, at the preliminary child labor conference in Wash
ington in January, it was presented by DR.. Edward N.
Chopper of the national child labor committee, was highly
endorsed by Julia Lathrop, chief of the childrens bureau,
]. p. CaXton, United States commissioner of education,
and others. In Baltimore, on May 70, DR.. Chopper again
presented the plan to the national charities conference, and
now in San Francisco it will be discussed with representa-
tives of western social agencies. Although the plan has
been called the national children's charter, leaders of the
movement for it claim it will be more than a charter, since
it will not only set forth the rights of childhood but will
bind together forces working for children and create full
cooperation among them.
Besides the childrens charter, the national child labor
conference will discuss child labor in the west and the pro-
posed federal child labor law. DR.. Felix Adler, Mrs. Flor
ence Kelley and Owen r. Lovejoy of New York have gone
to San Francisco especially for this conference. Among
the Califorians to attend are Francis Henev, Bishop
Hughes, DR.. Jessica B. Peixotto, Paul Scharrenburg and
Congressman Kent and Knowles. The sessions, which be
gin with a mass meeting on the exposition grounds at
which Mayor Rolph of San Francisco will formally greet
the delegates, and Edwin Markham will read a child labor
poem, will be held on the last four days of the month,
closing Monday, May 81, with a meeting wholly devoted
to the chi1dren's charter.

Mechanical Engineering

Returning from an extended business trip through
MANY mining camps in the west, a member OF the Anler1-
can society OF mechanical engineers voices surprise at
what he considers the universally poor mechanical engl-
neerine in the mining field, says the Engineering and
Mining Journal. He states that OF the large membership
of his society only three are to be found III mining districts,
and he draws the perhaps natural conclusion tor an OBJ
server unacouainted with the mining field that there is a
wonderful opening for the mechanical engineer III the mill
ing business.
Excepting of course the larger companies, whose en-
eineering work is of the best in the country, and many
plants of medium size which, in their way, are equally care
ful of such details, we must admit that mining IN general
presents some wonderful examples OF mechanical engl-
neering as it should not be pract1ced.
Strangely enough, however, this is not to be consld-
cred a general reflection upon the mine superintendent or
manager, although OF course we are not pretending to give
them all an absolutely clean bill of health in the matter.
The necessity and requirements and provisions OF a min
inc operation are in a class by themselves. lime is a
more valuable factor in a mining operation than in any
other business. 1t is much more profitable to purchase a
machine wholly unsuited to local conditions, but one which
can be delivered promptly, than to hunt for the most etti-
cient machine and wait for a long time tor It's delivery.
The fact of poor mechanical engineering is counterbal-
anced on the profit and loss sheet by the time element.
We have seen occasions when it was necessary to play
a fire hose on an air compressor to keep 1t from burning
up while running, but this proved to be better judgment
than to close down the entire operation at that particular
moment to make repairs. Another most striking lllustra-
ton was afforded by the purchase OF a compressor tor the
lease in Gc1dfie1d when the lease had but
thirty DAYS to run, and the shipping of this compressor IN
a baggage car attached to a special locomotive and run on
passenger train time from Denver to Goldfleld. We
know of no other production enterprise which would jus
tiv a move like this, and it is corollary to this urgent need
that the choice of an efficient machine was wholly subordl-
mated to immediate delivery. Good mechanical engineer
ing is a desideratum, but not a sine qua non, in mining.

German Methods of Warfare

How the sinking of the Lusitania, in connection with
other methods of German warfare, struck the Canadian
mind is illustrated by the following editorial expression in
the Canadian Mining Journal:
For some time Germany has been regarded as an out
law among the nations. 1t is becoming more and more
evident that the term outlaw is scarcely applicable. The
Kinsale jury has diagnosed the case.
The dastardly treatment of the Belgians, the raids on
unfortified towns, the use Of asphyxating gases in direct
violation of accepted rules OF warfare, the murder of pas
sengers on an unarmed ship; these are crimes that Ger
many cannot hope to live down in this generation, nor iii
the next. Germany has gone on record for all time as the
nation of murderers. In characteristic German, the muir
derers claim that they issued warnings of the premeditated
crime. and that therefore the crime is eXCusable. And this
is the nation from which we have been drawing teachers for
our colleges!
We are not greatly surprised that the Germans tried
to sink the Lusitania. We would not be surprised if they
should attempt more such murders. That they succeeded
in their attack was the only surprise. The British navy
must have been very busilv occupied elsewhere.
One result of the crime will be that citizens of the
United States will recognize more clearly that the Ger
many of today is the foe of mankind. Americans were
not slow to see the significance of the German crimes in
Belgium. They will, by the loss of their fellow country
men on the Lusitania, appreciate that the allies cause is
theirs also.
In Canadians the news of the sinking of the Lusitania
and the loss of so many innocent lives has aroused a feeling
of repulsion towards anything German. 1t is not mere

Urges Immediate Action

At the Mohonk Lake conference on international arbi-
tration, Secretary Of War Garrison in a speech advocated
immediate and fearless consideration of the problem OF
national defense. Among other things he said:
Il can and do entirely sympathize with every sane and
sensible movement which tends to abolish conflict and
to insure peace" said Secretary Garrison, "but I am utterly
out of sympathy with the idea that we should neglect OF
postpone consideration of what is now the existing condi
ton, because of a hope or a BELIEF or even conviction that II
NAV be altered, even radically altered, in the future
Such a great epochal event as the establishment OF an
international tribunal or the limitation of armament, MIR
Garrison said, could only be brought about "by. those who
are strong, courageous, self-respecting and righteous; by
those who look facts fearlessly in the face and act accord
ingly; by those whose conduct is guided by reason and
Judgment. If we are a nation possessing these character
istics," he said, then we will fearessly and courageous
" take up the present problem which it is our duty to de
termine. and will determine it properly and be prepared in
the proper way and with the proper spirit for what may
come hereafter

English Cabinet Troubles

From Sir Gilbert Parker the Tribune has received a
copy of the London Observer of the issue OF May :. Even
at that date criticism of some OF the English cabinet mem
bers had broken out, and since then the reconstruction OF
the cabinet along non-partisan lines has been undertaken.
An editorial in the Observer received here gives an idea
OF the English viewpoint. The Observer says:
ITO a nation at war everything depends upon the ef-
ficienCv of its executive, and that efficiency cannot be OBJ
tanned if the members of the executive are subjected to a
harassing fire OF criticism upon every detail of their CON
duct. This is a plain truth, which will be endorsed by
everyone from his experience of his everyday life. The
man whose attention is claimed by a daily controversial
duel in which his personal credit is at stake cannot pursue
his work with full concentration. If 1t Is difficult work,
it will not have the best of his powers applied to it in these
circumstances, and the results will be correspondingly de
ficient.
To secure the victory of this country over Germany
is as hard and perpleXing a piece OF work as any group OF
men could face. For Englishmen to try deliberately to
wreck it would be the basest crime that any OF their race
could have laid to his charge. But-dOubtless with quite
other intentions than these-certain English newspapers
are adding enormously to the weight which the executive
has to carry in its struggle against the empires enemies.
Their persistent recrimination is Just the thing to fret
away the strength of men who need all their nervous en-
ergy. and to lower the courage OF men who ought to COM
mand, in all they do. both a free mind and a stout heart.
The transition from a peace to a war basis was a far more
arduous undertaking in this country than in any other,
and it has had to be completed simultaneously with the
heavy brunt Of actual conflict. If there is to be no gener-
ositv for the men who have had to do this, let there, at
least. be iustice-iustiCe to their cause no less than to
themselves. The German newspapers are rejoicing to
think that there are poison-gases working tor them even
more deadly than their chemists can produce.
"The infatuation that there is party profit to be made
from indiscriminate girding at ministers hardly needs at
tention. Party issues are for the time being dead-both
in themselves and in the consciousness of the British peo-
ple. No cabinet which includes Lord Kitchener could be
taken by the public for a party cabinet. But if party con
siderations are uppermost in the mind of certain Unionist

7onopah Apex Litigation

The recent Tonopah apex decision was not satisfac-
tory to some of the technical mining journals of the coun-
try, especially the Engineering and Mining Journal of New
York. This publications editorial comment is caustic to
say the least. We quote:
We have from time to time remarked on various
phases of the apex question which cry aloud for reforma-
ton. From the most recent apex decision which has come
to our notice we quote the following: This interesting
and evidently conspicuous phenomenon received some
rather strong jolts on the rebuttal; but hardly enough to
jolt it out of the case" And again, speaking of the veins,
the court says: They are respectable and probably were
SO before the playful Siebert fault came their way"
Speaking of another theory advanced, the learned court
says: Zone distinguished witness Speaking of the vein
called it eccentric and said it was subject to undulations,
and had the effect of shearing the halo on the north side
etc.
Being ever athirst for knowledge, we set apart a time
for an investigation of this "halo" theory. We find that a
halo is actually "a circle of light appearing to surround a
luminous body and resulting from the reflection, refrac-
ton or diffraction of its light; . or it is a morbid discolora-
ton surrounding" ETC.; or, figuratively, SIS an ideal glow
or glory investing an object as viewed through the medium
ing the head of a saint" We incline to the opinion that
there is in this new ''ha1o' business nothing luminous or
suggesting either reflection or refraction or diffraction of
light, but that there is some evidence of morbid discolora-
ton as viewed through a medium which should have been
foreign to the case in hand.
We do not hesitate to admit that Our "halo' is not vet
sufficiently developed to enable us to be patient with a law
that leaves large and vital decisions to the tergiversations
of an imagination which can conceive a vein of 'undulat-
ing habits shearing a "halo" which presents the subject
in such a way that the court, in a state of self-preservation
perhaps, drifts into a levty hardly in keeping with the i'll
dicial ermine.

hatred of an enemy, but a feeling of %loathing, such as one
has for a common murderer. Even of the Prussians we
expected something more noble than this. That the sol
diers despised even the civilians of their own country was
commonly believed, but that they should murder unarmed
Belgian citizens, butcher wounded soldiers and sink passeu-
ger ships without warning is a revelation. There is but
ore way to treat these criminals. An overwhelming force
must be provided. Every citizen of the empire must as
sst in the task of furnishing the murderers of babes.

critics, we may bestow one word which they ought to ind
relevant. BY the temper which they are setting at this
juncture they are taking the most direct means to ensure
that a unionist government in time of war shall have no
protection from the fury of faction and shall appeal in vain
for the tolerance and unity of spirit which alone can
enable a nation to hold its foes at defiance

Many a good mining property has been abandoned for
lack of funds occasioned by the individual stockholders de-
cllning to recognize their responsibility or cooperate with
the management, says Mining World. They blame delay
and failure to the management, when generally the stock
holders are so indifferent to their own interest that it is
practically impossible to accomplish results. The ONLY
way to remedy such conditions is to make all companies
a%ssessab1e. Then the burden OF carrying on the necessary
development is equitably distributed, and the man unwil-
ling to do his share forfeits his interest. Usually this
works no injustice. Some may be so situated that they
can not meet the assessments, and must forfeit their hold
lngs. But some plan must be had for raising funds, and
1T IS not right that those who are willing to carry on the
work should lose all their investments. The delinquent
would be no better off, and all the stockholders would lose
with him. The fact that a company is assessable removes
from the enterprise the speculative element and brings
home to the stakeholder the necessity of CO. cooperation.
