PRIDE AND EFFICIENCY

n Ne of the subjects which the
conference of State Factory In
spectors specializing in indus
trial accident investigation, held here
the other day. seemed to consider of
much importance. was the workman
who, from sense of pride. fails to
ask attention for an injury which ap-
pears to be slight 1t is one of the
finest examples of what we call the
Pennsylvania workers spirit to stick
to the job and not let a little cut CT
a bruise. or something like that, in
terfere with work. 1t may be all
right in going ''over the top" in war
or in the intensive training which is
part of the task of the hour in the
cantonment, and we applaud it on
the football field. while those who
remain at posts, although injured. to
prevent harm to others or to save
property are rightly lauded.
But the inspectors have made the
rather startling discovery that eff
ficiency of a good many workers has
been impaired by their failure to Sc
cure attention for slight accidents,
and that the advantage to their fel-
low workmen of the accident has
been lost. This may sound like
cold -blooded statement. but the cut
or crush which high-spirited
worker will not have properly treat
ell because of possibility of being
called "a gutter" has been shown
by figures to have resulted in infec-
tion, loss of productive capacity,
which means wages, and even death.
Hence, reluctance to run the gamut
of ridicule or kidding" can be proved
to lower efficiency. Industrial history
is filled with instances where a series
of trifiing accidents or injuries Of
the same kind occurring. one after
the other, has pointed the way to
a defect speedily remedied by safe
guard. The operative who gets hurt,
by reporting the injury when having
It dressed, may be the means of saw
ing loss to himself or herself, and
also of preventing harm to the next
door nelShbOr.
In these days of high pressure in
industry we want to maintain the
standard of product. but we want
more than that to keep the worker
safe and sound. \ rise in accident
rate is as significant to the safety
man as the jump in temperature is to
the doctor. The man who gets a tenn
perature of 1O1 and doesn't hunt a
doctor is apt to be called foolish. The
man who suffers little accidents con-
tinually and does not get cared for
and call attention 90 the mishaps
needs another job. He reduces his
own efficiency and he endangers
others.

FROM BAD TO WORSE

I" He Kaiser goes from bad to
worse. His appointment of Count
Won Hertling to be imperial
chancellor Is a slap at those of the
Teichstag who have been demanding
reforms of democratic character.
This will be discouraging to those
who have looked for some sincere
effort on the part of the Emperor
to meet the public desires for more
liberal government. but it will be ag-
Eravating also. There is an old say
hng that those whom the gods would
destroy they first make mad" and il
Us also true that the autocrat almost
invariably holds on to all his power
until an enraged populace, that in the
early stages of discomfort would
have accepted and been satisfied
with a little yielding, rises up and
takes everything from the stubborn
ruler. A glance back over the marty
history of the United States reveals
that tendency very strongly. Per-
haps in the long run this may happen
an Germany. We shall be able to
grin and bear the Michaelises and
the Won Hertlings the more grace
fully with that hope in view.

U-BOAT FAILURE
New York World

1t is more likely that the resigna-
ton of Vice-Admiral Capelle. the
German minister of marine, was due
to the failure of the submarine cam
paign than to any mrtiny among the
men of the grand fleet. BY his at
tempt to fasten on the Socialists the
responsibility for the outbreak he
precipitated a quarrel that merely
has tened the day of his retirement.
After more than eight months of
desperate efforts to starve Great
Britain it has been brought home to
the German people that the U-boat
wcrfare leads nowhere. 1t has not
lessened the Entente Allies strength;
it has not relieved the crushing
pressure against the Teuton lines in
the west. The promises made last
winter that the submarines would
make certain victory for Germany
have proved to be spurious. Tirpitz
finds it eXpedient to explain that he
Gid not make the statement that the
U-boats would win by August 1.
That date is long past, and Lloyd
George officially announces that the
losse, of British shipping during
September were the lowest in any
month since February 1.
The facts as they are cannot fail
to affect profoundly sentiment among
the German masses.

VILIFYING RED GROSS

1t is the part of every good citizen
and every Red Cross worker to de-
nounce the vicious reports of Red
Cross commercialism that are circu-
lated by Prussian spies to deceive
ignorant or thoughtless persons.
There are a dozen varieties of SLAM
der, every story palpably false but
all maliciously persistent, and all in
tended to undermine confidence in
the Red Cross.
The reports now persistently put
in circulation here have been abso-
lutely disproved elsewhere after care
full investigation. A Boston newspa-
per searched every corner of New
England for verification of tales re-
lating the sales of sweaters and socks
which were made as gifts for SOL
diers, and found not a line of evil
dence. Some one had heard it from
a friend" the friend had heard it
from another friend, but nowhere
could the scandal be traced to its ORR
gin. A few soldiers, oversupplied,
had sold their sweaters, but the Red
Cross always had given freely and
with surprisingly little duplication of
it's effort.
1t is a natural development of
Prussian falseness and duplicity that
the Red Cross, the greatest and al
most the only remaining humanita-
rian institution in the world, should
be attacked by Prussian agents in
this hateful spirit. For the sake of
our soldiers and in honor of the eff
forts of the thousands of generous
Red Cross workers let these dirty lit
tie whisperings cease and their au-
thors be punished.
Squelch the scandalmonger-and
keep on knitting.-New York Sun.

THE CONSUMER AGAIN

A CCORDING to the report of the
n State Milk Commission, which
a made an exhaustive investiga-
ton into the milk situations in Phil
adelphia last winter and in Pitts
burgh last summer. the consumer
can bring down the price of milk by
following a few simple rules.
The consumer is urged to
Drink more milk
Urge neighbors to do so,
Learn the food properties of milk,
Return the milk bottles promptly.
These are four of the ways where
by the Pittsburgh consumer can re-
duce the price of milk, according to
the report of the commission in this
particular case.
Pittsburgh prices are higher than
we are accustomed to here, but as
consumers, we have a kindly feeling
toward the Smoky City wage Garner.
and we can appreciate the effort
made by the commission to help him
out. But we fail to understand the
reasoning that prompts the state
ment that If the people will drink
more milk the farmers will raise
more cows. The farmer can get
more gold coin for "bossy' now than
at any time in recent years. While
we are very sorry that he can not
make ends meet in milk production,
we would like to know a place where
the price of milk or any other agri-
cultural or allied product has come
down when everybody started using
more of it. And we may say, in illus
tration, we all need and want more
coal, and more of it after that, and
yet the price has a Fourth of July
rocket beaten to n faint glow.
AS for the dealer he ought to
get his bottles back promptly, but
he ought also to see that we do not
get some other dealers bottles. And
we also voice the fear that If we
start to drink more milk to help out
the farmer, the dealer will tack on
another cent because of the increased
work required in handling the prod
uct of the speeded-up COW.
Likewise. we are inclined to view
the statement that the saving to the
dealer. the dealer will then turn over
to the farmer as more or less
academic.

GET SEED CORN NOW

We wish we could impress firmly
upon the mind of every farmer the
necessity of securing next years seed
corn this fall. 1t has been prophe-
sled that seed next spring will be ten
dollars per bushei. Whether it is
that much or not, it is sure to be very
scarce and many farmers will feel
under the necessity of using poor
seed In spite of the overdrawn
statements to the contrary, first
class crops of corn-that is, we'll
grown, fully-matured crops - are
scarce when compared with the
worlds needs. Although the number
of bushels may total billions, but a
small percentage will make first
class seed. The late, wet spring and
early frosts have seriously injured a
great deal of corn so that it is i'm
mature, hence termination will be
uncertain.
In all probability enough corn
suitable for seed may be secured if
careful selection is made now. If
those who must buy from others will
bespeak 1t from farmers whose corn
fully matured, and have them pick
1t out this fall, then take it home
and carefully dry and care for it. a
serious situation next spring may be
avoided. 1t is usually best to secure
seed in your own locality IL possible.
Do 1T Now.-Pennsylvania Farmer.

Barnard Under Fire

u NGLAND, through the three
~ years of the war, has been cry
ing for a Lincoln to lead it, to
victory. The acts and speeches of
the railsplitter who rose to be Presi-
dent have been studied A famous
peer lately wrote a new life of Lin
coin and everybody read it.
Then Charles P. Taft decided to
give statute of Lincoln to the Eng
lish. A site was picked out in Lon
don near Westminster Abbey. His
proposal was to erect a duplicate of
the Lincoln statute by George Barn
ara (creator of the statuary in front
of the Pennsylvania Capitol in this
city) which was given to the city of
Cincinnati by Mr.. Taft. He is also
wiling to pay for a duplicate for
Paris.
For the critics who were startled
by the first view of the sculptors
Lincoln few months ago this was q
bombshell. The editor of the Art
World called it a libel in bronze and
protested against giving foreigners
distorted impression of the mar
tyred President.
Robert Lincoln, the millionaire
son, also was perturbed. He did not
Know CharleS Il. Taft. so he wrote to
his brother, William II. Taft, pro-
testing that the rough and ready
qualities are far beyond the family
conception, or the generally accepted
embodiment of Lincoln made famtl-
lar by the POLITICALLY studied figure
by Saint Gaudens.
Mr.. Barnard, who is by many con-
sidered the foremost American sculp-
tor, is said to be enjoying the con-
troversy without joining in it. From
his boyhood days in Muscatine, Ia,
through his struggle with poverty in
basement room near a Chicago art
school, and his final triumph in the
salons of Paris. he has been filled to
the brim with unconventionality.
In some symbolic way his Lincoln
is supposed TO svmbolize democracy.
The figure is standing, sixteen feet
high, and is intended to show the
President as a typical American of
his day, a pioneer who mastered the
forces of Nature. The huge feet,
the coarse shoes and the slouchiness
of pose are among the things the
objectors point out. Their case is
thus presented by famous Oxford

RECKLESS GUNNERS

"HE Park Department was wise
in placing special officers in
Wildwood Park to protect city
property and those who use it legiti-
mately from the reckless gunners
who formerly slew the game that
found refuge there and endangered
their own lives and the lives of pc
destrians and automobilists by the
careless use of firearms
There is another class of gunners,
also, who need attention. They are
the pot hunters" who invade pri-
vate property in the suburbs and
about school houses. No real sports
man would be guilty of such conduct
and the penalties of the law are too
mild for them. There is Just about as
much real sport in shooting a cat, as
lin firing pointblank at the half-tame
Dummies" which frequent the home
gardens Of suburban residents. There
is all the excitement of firing at a
chicken in running to earth the rab-
bit that has his home in a drain
pipe bN the sue VI muse anu ny
long observance of people has learn
ed to be about as fearsome of hu-
mans as is the rooster in the adjacent
poultry yard.
Yet there are hunters to whom n
rabbit is a rabbit and who will run
any risk of damaging property or
killing pedestrians in order to get a
shot at one of these.
The true sportsman takes his
pleasure in the open, where the game
has at least an equal chance. and
where he may discharge his gun
without fear of stray shots finding
human marks.
Beware of the backyard gunner.
Usually he knows nothing about
hunting and very little about a gun.
He is a person to be Stunned.

NOTICE-3-CENT POSTAGE

Il am preparing for a hard No

oped that long experience had
taught him that a large percentage
of the people of this country will fail
to obey the law which, beginning No
Nember 2, requires three cents post
age on first-class mail, and two cents
on postal cards, except when the lat
ter are printed only. The law does
not apply to letters to be delivered in
the city of mailing.
Now this law has been published
widely. Every newspaper has men
toned it number of times. There
would seem to be no excuse for ig-
norance or forgetfulness. but the Of
ficial in question is so well Versed in
human psychology that he is going
ahead making preparations for the
DEFICIENCIES certain to occur. The
failure to stamp letters properly is

archaeologist, who does not hesitate
TO look a gift statue over closely:
Barnard's statue certainly
eXaggerates Lincoln's awkward
ness of bearing and angularity,
and caricatures the size of his
hands and feet and the troubled
expression of his face. The pho
tographs show that he was care
full in dress and by no means
wanting in dignity. The face
shows far more repose and force
than are depicted in Barnard's
travesty."
The late Joseph II. Choate, who
had seen Mr.. Lincoln in the flesh,
spent some of his last days in an
effort to prevent, as he expressed it,
the sending of a triplicate of the
horrible statue to Russia"
Mr.. Barnard is conceded to be an
artist customarily with a dashing and
brilliant manner. What could have
been his purpose in creating this
bronze controversy? Upon the COM
pletion of the statue he gave his
view, saying that an imaginary Lin
coin is an insult to the American
people. n thwarting of democracy"
He did not accept the guidance of
photographs, because, he says, the
takers retouched his face, fearing
its ugly lines might lose him the
presidency" He studied instead the
life mask and casts of his hands
from life.
"Out of the study of Lincolns life
mask" he said, grew the entire
pose of his figure. He must have
stood as the republic should stand
strong, simple, carrying its weight
unconsciously, without pride in rank
or culture. He is clothed with cloth
worn, the history of labor. The rec
ords of labor in Lincoln's colthes are
the wings of victory. The Winged
Victory of Samothrace was an allie
CORY of what Lincoln lived. His
wings were acts, his fields of flight
the hearts of men, their laughter
their life. Tradition is he stood bent
at the knees. This is not true
Worn. baggy trousers. forgotten. un-
thought of, honored their history"

ergy and crude virility. Is it pos
sible that it would accept the Bar
nard conception as its own?-Kansas
City Times.
