Life Saving in the Mines.

WASHINGTON, February 10.-The life
savers of the United States Bureau of
Mines have, according to the state
ment of DR.. Joseph A. Holmes, the
director, rescued more than one hun
dred entombed miners from certain
death. More than this, he asserts in
his annual report that volunteer res
cuers in the employ of mining COM
panies and trained in rescue work by
the bureau have saved many other
men. AS result of the example set
by the bureau, rescue and first-aid
organizations have been established
at many mines and more than 1,20O
sets Of rescue apparatus have been
purchased by mine owners. These
stations are expected to save the lives
of many men in the future.
The bureau in the futherance of its
work now maintains six mine rescue
stations, eight mine rescue cars, and
one rescue motor truck, located in the
mining districts of the country. The
cars visit the various mining camps
and train the men in rescue work and
also in first aid to the injured. This
movement has reached the point that
whenever there Is mine disaster it il
now possible to obtain sufficient
number of trained volunteers to take
care Of the rescue in an orderly ano
systematic manner and without the
great loss of lifes frequently found
among the rescuers in the past.
Director Holmes declares that there
should be fifteen rescue cars, instead
of eight, to take care of the needs ol
the million miners in the United
States. "The work of the states in
carrying out their part Of this program
in mine safety Is being carried for
ward in reasonably satisfactory man.
nef," says DR.. Holmes. "The states
are already spending in their inspec-
ton and police supervision work
more than the Federal Government Ii
spending in all Of its Investigations in
behalf OF mine safety. Thus, for ex-
ample, single state, Pennsylvania
maintains a well-organized and ef-
fcient inspection force at a cost Of

To Trick the Referendum.

from Paris Mercury, January 20, 1851
The news from Jefferson City tell
ing of the trick by which contemplat-
ed dry legislation is to escape the
provisions of the referendum is an
other illustration of the insincerit y
and the can't in much of our talk about
restoring government by the people.
AS a rule we are all willing and
anxious for the "peepul" to say, but
always with the inward reservation
that they will say it our way. The
louder we "holler" often, the more
pronounced is this attitude On our
part. Genuine popular government
is about the last thing most of us real
ly wish. We are ready on the minute
to substitute ourindividual conscience
and judgment for that of an entire
electorate and to force it on them if
we can. A mild autocracy makes up
largely the usual conception of what
democratic government ought to be-.
A real democrat is unfaltering in his
faith in his people. He believes that
they know better what they want and
need than anybody else can tell them
and that even imperfect government
by the people is better for the people
than the best of government imposed
by others. Two years ago the brew
ers, aided by other big special inter
ests, attempted to emasculate the
referendum and were fought by the
dry forces all over the state, the lat
ter at that time being confident that a
popular vote would sustain the coun-
ty unit bill. 1t did not, and now the
liquor interests want to keep the
referendum intact and the dry leaders
want to, in effect, nullify it with legal
trickery. The people are determined
to preserve their hard earned right to
direct action and will resent the latest
effort to cripple this most potential
instrumental in enforcing the popu-
lar will just as vigorously as they did
the first. There will be no abridg-
ment of popular rule in Missouri, the
people are amply able to care for
themselves, and any attempt in that
direction will set the dry cause back
twenty years in this state. However,
it generally remains for simpletons to
pull down what wise men have labori-
ously built up. The trouble with the
Isalaried dry leadership in this state is
that it includes too many fellows who
must at least appear to be doing
something in order to hold their jobs.
Just what law forced on an unwill-
ing people would amount to in a gov
ernment like ours, where public senti
ment is absolutely essential to the en-
forcement of law, seems never to
have occurred to them.

A Comparison.
From the Scott County Kicker. J

(Erom the Scott county hlcKer.l
Even the banks are feeling the
pinch of poverty these days. Two OF
them are closed, two are gasping for
breath and others are not so prosper
GUS as in times past. What does it

die about cold and cheerless room

half-empty stomachs at night SO long

Pemiscot Argus.
l just felt like playing trick on the
Argus man. He is "reformer," and
in the first line of the above article
where he had it 'saloons," put
"banks." And it rings just as true.
But you couldn't get the Argus man
to see that the banking system is re-
sponsible for more poverty than the
saloon, and that it takes more of the
peoples earnings without giving any
thing in return except "accommoda-
tons" The banks carry advertise
ments in all of the newspapers-ex-
cept the Kicker. Hence the Kicker
is free to tell the truth about it.
The Kicker does not attempt to say
that the liquor traffic is not an evil.
But it is not the only nor basic evil.
1t is possible for the working man to
escape the saloon, but it is not pos
sible for him to escape rent, interest
and profit.

of the ideals of those who gave us a
Republic? 1t seems SO, and of course
in government by and for the
Almighty Dollar we need not look for
old-time sentiment. "Personal lib
erty" is sneered off the stage and
"freedom of the press" is thing of
small moment in these days of special
"reform." take it, however, that
many one complacent now in
possession of place will next year get
corrective jolt that will give him the

AN Indian Prince, Sarath Kumar

Smithsonian Institute in Washington,
on "The Origin of Civilization" says
if the present war continues through
the present year, there will be six
women for every five men-or, to put it
his way, 1.-TWO wives for every fifth
man" OF course, polygamy is re-
pugnant to our every sense of fitness;
but must every sixth woman be doom
ed to unavoidable spinsterhood? IT'S
"a condition, not a theory, that con-
fronts our boasted Christian civiliza-
tion. Gen. Nelson A. Miles says: "In
some countries there will not remain
enough men to rebuild the ruined
homes. The destruction Of humanity
in this war is beyond anything here
tofore dreamed of. After the Thirty
Years. War Germany permitted a
plurality of wives, so great had been
the loss OF men in the country. 1t is
not impossible that such conditions
will follow this conflict, for war is
destroying men as never before" +"

COUNTY FACING DEARTH OF

Deputy Sheriffs and Consta bies Resigning Their Jobs And Many Precincts Are Without Officers.

Sheria Wheeler and the law euforc. ing arm of the county government faces a serious situation in the fact that the majority Of the constables and deputies are resigning all over the county The officers consider that they are not we'll enough paid to warrant their keeping their com missions. As a consequence the sher- iff's office is face to face with an eX. tremely difficult situation
 The sherin was through the dis trict yesterday on his way to the eastern end of the county. He had been informed by the constable at san simon that some horse thieves were about the section The consta. ble in question, however did not ga after the theives and merely notified the sheriff. who set out yesterday after them
 This condition, according to Wheel CT, is general lt would seem that the salary for deputy sherifs and constables in the smaller precincts formerly was $2O month This has been cut to $lO per month and few if any Of the deputies can be found to fin the positions offered As the sherin's office now stands. it has but five deputies. All of these officers are in Tombstone, Naco, Bisbee, Low ell and Douglas. The balance of the county is practically without police protection.
 A peculiar case came up several days ago in one of tho small precincts of Cochise county A justice of the peace brought an offender before hin and passed sentence The constable in the meantime, had tired of the job and resigned The justice had the prisoner on his hands and did not know what to do with him What became of the prisoner is not stated but it is barely possible that the jus tice combined the constable's job with his own for the occasion
