who has been placed in this important
position, has been for the past year
secretary Of commerce and police OF
the Philippine government, having
been appointed to that position by
President Wilson. We do not pretend
to know anything about his personal
qualifications for the position but the
outline Of his career as published in
the Congressional Directory does not
indicate the kind OF experience which
would best fit him for the office Of a
railroad president. In his younger
days he was for several years in thu
contracting business and later was a
train dispatcher for the Boston &
Maine, but since 1899 his principal
business seems to have been politics.
He was for four years an alderman in
Manchester, N. H., five times mayor
Of the city, for several more years a

is some evidence as to what the gov

The experiment Of Algerian help in

been a greaat success. These men,

regions, have wonderful endurance,
are very industrius and easily content

other Mussulmen from Morocco and

in the ranks Of the Algerian riflemen
at the front. They have proven a
great deal more effective than the
Senegalese in this climate; they have
shown quite taste for farming, have
learned quickly the use OF machine

ticeship in municipal work has per
haps been the greatest success OF all.

DUST AND DANGER
the Charleston Leader.

From the Charleston Leader.
This Is the time of the year for West
Virginia miners to guard against the
dangers Of gas and dust explosions.
Mine inspectors have told operators
and miners throughout the West Vir
ginia fields that February and March
are the most dangerous months In
the entire year in this regard, their
being rendered so because Of atmos
pheric conditions peculiar to the sea
son.
All mines, It Is declared by Chief
Earl Henry, Of the state department
Of mines should be kept moist and
the closest possible lookout should
be kept for escaping gas.
Thousands Of lives are at stake ev.
cry day of these particular months in
the mines OF West Virginia, and more
than at any other time is every min
er now his brothers keeper. A little
carelessness may result in the snuff
fling out Of score, a-hundred or hun
dreds OF lives.
Among recent explosions those OF
Carlisle and Layland took the lives
VI 9VS AuSus 1ub OdTllhlG eAplOSlOu
took place in February. and the Lay
land explosion occurred in March.
The one was the result Of an accu'
mutation Of gas, the ignition of which
could have been prevented had the
tirebosses done their duty. The other
came from the firing of the fine dust
with which the mine was saturated
and while the primary cause was the
earelessness Of ., miner in the manner
OF firing shot II the mine had been
kept thoroughly .tmoistened down"
the explosion would have been less
costly to it's toll of human life
The mining department is to be
commented for its recent announces
ment that every failure to observe tina
rules OF safety, whether such failure
be the result Of carelessness on the
part of the operator, or the mine sup
ertntendent or fifeboss, or OF the min
ter himself, viii be prosecuted to the
limit Of the statutes.
