our Council and taken from our
midst Brother Thomas Bond, who
departed this life on April 26th,

fires burn more bright, where
the pass word never changes and
where there is peace, "sweet
peace" throughout all eternity,
therefore be it
Resolved, that by the death of
Brother Bond, our Council has
lost a consistent and faithful
member, the community a useful
and upright citizen, his wife and
baby kind, true and loving hus-

the bereaved wife our deepest
heartfelt sympathies, and com
mend her to our Heavenly Father

copy be sent to the bereaved
ones, and a copy be sent to the
Mount Vernon Signal, for publ

geen required for the task. We
could not possibly have sent to
France the army we now have
there.
The glaring mistake made by
this element of the press with
reference to Mexico leads to
the suspicion they may be
equally wrong about japanese
action in Siberia. Would not
japanese invasion give the kai-
ser the very chance he wants
to align the Russian manpower
against the allies. The Port
land Oregonian thinks not.
"The suggestion that enmity
to the japanese would cause
the Russians to become active
partisans of Germany has small
pasis in reason" says that pa
per. Race prejudice is not
among Russians, for
they assimilate readily with
any people and have freely in
termarried with the Japanese"
The argument is based on the
theory a caucasian people
would not be more resentful of
by a nation of another
color than they are of invasion
by a nation of their own color.
The argument wont hold. The
issue of race prejudice could
be raised in Russia. 1t might
be the very thing the Germans
need to rally the Slavs beneath
the banner of the central en-
pires. If such a result did oc-
cur the harm that would ensue
to the allied cause would out
weigh the benefit we would
derive from any action the
could take in ST.
IBERIA.
1t is not surprising our gov
should mediate long
before joining in any action
that would probably turn the
Russian heart against us and
against the allies. 1t is a seri-
Gus subject and not one to be
decided off hand. President
Wilson showed a wise head re-
garding Mexico, why not trust
his judgment in this case?

THE ENSLAVED GERMAN
PULPIT

~ HOSE who complain about
VI the mild restrictions on
free speech in this coun-
try during the war should
have a taste of the German va
riety of suppression.
In kaiserland it is illegal for
minister of the gospel to
preach his honest thoughts.
His allegiance even in peace
times is not to the truth or to
God but to the man upon the
throne-no matter what dia-
bolical plans he may have.
All who enter the ministry
in Germany are obliged to
take an oath of submission. AS
quoted from a leading German
divine by the Atlantic Monthly
this oath in part is as follows:
Il will be submissive, faithful. and
Obedient to His Royal Majesty-and
his lawful successors in the govern
ment--as my most gracious King and
Sovereign; promote his welfare ac-
corCIing to my ability; prevent injury
and detriment TO him: and paFticu-
IarIy endeayor carefully to cultivate
i'm the minds of the people under my
care a sense of reverence and fidelity
toward the King, love for the father
land. obedience to the laws, and all
those virtues which in a Christian de-
note a good citizen; and / will not
suffer any man TO teach or act in
contrary spirit. In particular, 1 VOW /
that L will not support any society or 1
either at home or abroad, |
which might endanger the public /
security, and will inform His Majesty .
OF any proposals made, either in my /
diocese or elsewhere, which might
prove Injurious to the State. / will
preach the Word as His Gracious Ma
jesty dictates.r
What could be more dis
gusting than such grovelling
before an earthly potentate
who holds power on the silly
claim that he is of divine clay
Of some variety. The thing is
all upon a false basis and it
cannot stand. Kaiserism is
doomed to fall as surely as the
sun shines. The mystery is
hat the German folk have toll
Grated such a fraud this long.

Fuel Control to Continue.

Federal control of the fuel situation in
general way is to continue for an indefinite
time, perhaps until the administration auto
matically ceases to function with the proclama-
ton of peace. Just now, with most of its re-
strictions removed, it will touch lightly on the
general public so far as the use of fuel is con-
cerned, but it is giving highly appreciated
service to the coal mine operators. This comes
about through maintenance of the zones for
distribution. The fuel administrator justifes
this phase of control by the statement that last
winter it saved what amounts to 10000 900
car miles, rather formidable exhibit. To the
operator it means more than that just now. The
Black Diamond, organ of the coal trade, sums
up the situation as follows: admittedly, nearly
every operator now has more production than
he can find market for in the zone allotted to
him. There was tendency for shipments to
overlap the zones the instant that the hold lines
were broken down, and there is danger that this
would bring about rather violent break in the
market. As matter of fact, the continuance
of the zones was in part dictated by desire to
allow retail dealers and steam users to work off
stocks of coal accumulated at government re-
quest, before competition was finally turned
loose" When the zone does go, however the
consumer may get chance to buy coal cheaper.

Human Factor in Industrial Accidents.

A very interesting and comprehensive report
on "The Safety Movement in the Iron and Steel
Industry" has just been published by the De-
partment of Labor. 1t covers the period
l907-l7 inclusive and its analyses are elaborate
and exhaustive. While the work will be chiefly
of service to the student and the safety en-
gineer, it contains some information that should
be of general interest. None of this will be Of
more importance than the conclusion stated that
too much stress has been laid on the human
factor in industrial accident, and not enough on
condition of machinery or the surroundings.
The common belief of safety engineers, the
writers hold refers to the doctrine that Con
tributory negligence" in the slightest degree
bars the victim from compensation. To this
they reply:
1T may be said that if personal carelessness
could be entirely eliminated, the effect upon the
number of fatal and serious accidents would not
be great so long as the engineering defects are
left unchanged"
This observation, general though it is, has
specific application to industry,~ and should be
given due weight. If industrial mishaps can be
materially lessened by proper engineering over
sight, that is in the construction of buildings
and machinery location and lighting of work
rooms. and through similar methods, the benefit
to all would seem to justify the adoption of
better methods.
Exoneration of workmen from responsibility
for defects in machinery is of value as an ee-
ment in determining causes, but it does not lift
from them the burden of effect. The workshop
of the future should be designed with this fact
always in view.

A FLYING START FOR 1920.

Many days ago it was whispered throughout
the land that President Wilson would have no
regrets were William G. McAdoo, his son-in-
law, to be chosen by the democratic party as its
candidate for president in 1920 At subsequent
times some of Mr.. McAdoos own actions gave
color to the belief that he would like to have
that honor. Now that he has resigned his
high place as secretary of the treasury, the OBJ
vious thought is that he is making flying start
for the next national campaign. His offered
reason, that he cap make more money for HIM
self in some other business, sounds more like
a pretext 1t has served before. Mr. Bryan
excused his combination of premier and chau-
talker by setting up that the salary of cabinet
officer did not justify him in passing up the easy
money that was his for few silver phrases.
Mr. McAdoo has become so accomplished and
competent juggler of billions that the figures
on his pay check must look pitifully small to
him, yet it is hard to think of him as being in
needy circumstances He also is not suspected
of placing pelf above patriotism, and this fact
supports the conclusion that he is getting ready
for the big political drama to be staged in 1920
As the earliest informal entry in the race he
will get cursorv attention until the starters are
lined up and a choice can be made.

Royalty in the Laundry.

Mrs Charles Hapsburg, whose husband re-
Gently lost his job as emperor of Aus
tria and king of Hungary, is said to be
unable to obtain competent domestic help.
She will have the sympathy of great many
American housewives, who find themselves in
much the same predicament. The report goes
so far as to say she may have to look after the
laundering of the family linen. OF course,
being queen and empress combined is not
supposed to entail any of the requirements for a
really good laundress, and yet royalty has been
known to do its own work in time of need. Or,
she may emulate the example of that famous
queen of France to whom the discovery OF the
color named ecru is ascrbed. 1t is related that
the king had set himself down before city
that dehed his entrance The siege seemed such
an easy undertaking the queen lightly vowed
she would not change her linen until the city
had surrendered This VOW she kept, but, as
the burghers held out nine months against the
utmost efforts of the besiegers, the queens
linen was in such condition at last as to be
something of a scandal to those who gave
thought to cleanliness, but the incident has been
preserved in the color named We hope Mrs.
Hapsburg will dip her hands in suds, as other
good wives have done, before she comes to
such pass.
